The 2011 Dominions 3 Thread

I was joking around with the devs after “NetBook support” showed up. Johan went on a vacation and when he came back Dom3 worked on Netbook. Resolutions, and something about the keys, some optimization also.

I was cracking that someone bought Johan a netbook, we should buy him an iPhone also (I expected a response back about Android). But he said he had one already, and Dom3 really couldnt play on it. A “turn from work” mini-menu’d version was brought up but was low interest.

I can ask if you want. Maybe iPad just lacks the ability to test it.

Oh the scripting…so…many…mages…

Nate · 2013-03-23T07:39:32.000Z

Well fought, pyrhic.

I have to say that I forgot to give Giant Slayer the gems to cast what I wanted him to cast, though :( One tiny detail costs me the game.

You guys go to war with each other in every game. Is the above about The Tour or something else?

Early reports are that more than 10 ponies have been served up to the knacker god.

Yes, agreed, it was a good fight - i deliberated alot about whether i should fight you in the open, or behind the walls. A last minute change of mind made me go to the open, and i think it was the right choice. I got worried about you bottling me up on my side of the walls with a couple high def ponies, chewing through my chaff, and smashing me with thunderbolts as my armies piled up behind it. I’m really surprised you didnt have arrow fend up - that was my principal reasoning behind fighting behind my walls, as I had blade wind massively scripted on round one and i figured it would tear up your archers before you got arrow fend up. As luck would have it, the earth crafters all went off script(probably range issue), though it came into play later. Still, the combination of eye shield and the affliction bless has left me with a lot of blind units :P

Nate · 2013-03-23T12:34:02.000Z

I had storm and storm power scripted. The storm didn’t go off due to the missing gems.

pyrhic · 2013-03-23T12:40:19.000Z

Ya, that would have made it a lot messy.

Also, i’m fortunate in that my prophet is a made-to-be pony killer…

I’d be interested in hearing Johan’s thoughts on bringing it to the iPad. But then how would MP be handled?

The statues are alive! They’re moving! Argathan troops pour out of their underground cave lairs and swarm over the lands of the Fey of Eriu. FEAR THEM! The statues live! They prophesy the coming of a dark god of the underworld. Fell tidings for all. None can match them in size, none can match them in arcane pursuits, none can match them in their access to the condensed magical energies of the world. DOOM, my fellows. Join us in the crusade or fall soon after us. If Agartha takes the capital of Eriu, their position will be such that the world will be plunged into the twilight of the cave. Join us now, or fall. Join us NOW, or die. The living statues will forever stand.

We keep looking for sparkle ponies, but don’t seem to find any. When we go where there are reports of the ponies, by the time we get there they have left. It’s like they don’t want to see us them. Silly sparkle ponies.

We finally decided to visit your capitol, but can’t find anybody there either. Maybe on the inside?

The Tour
…always script everybody. shoot. That should not have happened. Sloppy on my part.

wahoo · 2013-03-27T17:26:24.000Z

After this turn, can we turn teh timer off b/c I’ll be gone for 3 days? thx.

dfs · 2013-03-27T20:05:43.000Z

wahoo:

After this turn we’re going to a 6 hour hosting period to hose man.

nah. I’ll move the next turn to a 144 hour timer or so.

So it’s not too late for us to be friends?

I’d be happy to talk about a peace between the two of us. Always. I don’t get the blinders that some people do when they’re enraged. It’s not like I attacked you out of hatred. I attacked you because you were weak at the time. No Paralyze available :)

pyrhic · 2013-03-28T14:14:33.000Z

Well then, let’s be friends and we can start by coordinating our efforts! Where are you massing your ponies so I can be sure to hit agartha in a different spot?

Nate · 2013-03-28T14:35:06.000Z

They’re just about in position. I’m going to hit all of his provinces at once to shut down gem production and gold income. We’re only concentrated at his forts to ensure the takeover goes smoothly.

pyrhic · 2013-03-28T15:29:02.000Z

Well, sounds like you don’t need me then, I’ll just sit back and watch with my scouts. Good luck!

Nate · 2013-03-28T15:57:15.000Z

I am horribly embarrassed by this turn. My mages did some truly idiotic off-script casting. Hey, dfs, how many ghost wolves does it take to kill an Oracle?

The Ghost wolves weren’t such a problem, but the thunderstrikes…I hate FAM.
