I find the Wiki a little intimidating. So I post my suggestions here instead.

Please note that putting a suggestion in the forum does no good. Unless you make a proposition on the COW site, it has exactly zero effect on the game.

I too was intimidated by the Wiki site at first. But if a 50-year-old dog like me can learn new tricks, surely you can too! It is actually pretty easy and straightforward.

I also find it difficult to conceive of a player who has been in the game for so few moves could already be bored. Ask the council to declare war on someone! Send wryms a bribe to get their votes. Go rogue and commit suicide! It is not that hard to do.

council? you don't need no steenkin' council...

Ah, nothing like knights for a nice light brunch. Would've killed more of them, except ... Casting flight, with no friendly troops, apparently casted it on the enemy, despite precision 18.

seriosuly, two turns in and its boring?

Try playing within the boundries. I'm sure you can start whatever war you want since the wyrms tend to find it pretty entertaining.

Guess there is no point in puting the suggestion on the wiki, as I do not seem to have any support at all. I had expected some support at least.

Ygorl, you are still able to vote for a war against an enemy of your choice. And if assigned a random war with a friend surly you can agre on a NAP.

Cainehill, if your ongoing diplomacy is of any value surly your allies will not backstab you just because they are allowed to. It is true that this will alter the game.

Cainehill · #**697** February 1st, 2006, 01:55 AM

Some of the diplomacy is simply knowing that even those nations with whom a player hasn't spoken to, can't freely attack them without going rogue.

In any case - I expect things may be getting more lively, as I expect at least one of three nations will be unhappy with my eating their knights. ( Just bellyflopped into an independent province half a dozen away from my nearest lands; while I'm sure someone may've been counting on it for their own, I have taken advantage of the charter stating that such provinces are first come, first claimed. )

As far as "not seeming to have any support at all", you said several wyrms had given you positive responses?

Ygorl · #**698** February 1st, 2006, 02:27 AM

What're you doing casting flight, anyway? Wyrms look hideously goofy flying. Either one head is in the back, and you've got one snake dragging another backwards through the sky, or they both face the same direction and look like a big floppy flying horseshoe. Ridiculous.

Really, it's almost as bad as a wyrm in a VW Microbus.

Cainehill · #**699** February 1st, 2006, 02:40 AM

Heh. I am the flying horseshoe of DOOM! Actually, I fly in a vertical mode, one head devouring everything that breathes, the other head up high looking for food - knights, dragons, shedus, etc.

I have done the same, I fully expect my neighbor to bring it before council eventually. In the end it will likely result in a small or large confrontation, the result of which redrawing our mutual borders.
