MP Game - Yet another MP newbie game!

[Huzurdaddi]

So I'd like to start another newbie game.

House Rules

1) Only Human pretenders (ie: 10 points for a new magic path --- hmm I wonder if there is a non-human with 10 points for a new path )
2) No clams. At all. Zip.

Game settings:

Map: Karan by Targa ( http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html )
Independents Strength:9
Special Sites: 55
Score graphs: disabled.

I'd like to use the dominions2 server at ( https://www.mosehansen.dk/cgi-bin/dom2.pl ).

Game name : Newbues_Unite. Port: 2246.

The game is set for quick hosting with a 24 hour period. Hopefully so long as everyone is on the ball we will get much faster turn around time than 24 hours ( but **** happens some times I understand ).

So far we have

Pythium -- me

I'll try Pythium.

[Soapyfrog]

Put me down for Abysia!

[Norfleet]

I take it that this game is also for newbies, and not for me?

[Huzurdaddi]

LOL

Although I am attempting to weasle as many of your tricks as I can out of you.

So far it I've gotten:

1) spam a lot of castles. The cheaper the better.
2) Death summons rock the house. Make a lot of those ( weirdly I see you playing a lot of caelum ... I don't really get it but it may be due to #3 )
3) Raid your balls off. Province defence ain't worth jack. If you see a temple somewhere burn it down and take the province defence with it and then move.
4) But this is from other players, blood summons rock as well in particular devils.
5) take some misfortune once you take order ( this one makes a lot of sense ).

What I do not know is how you expand versus strong indeps without a SC pretender at the start of the game ... ahem if you want to devulge that information I would really appreciate it.
