OMG Why for the love of god did pythium pick ermor? Is there some reason a living nation wants a death nation?

(Don't mind me...I am just disgruntled over losing the Ermor pick of getting Pan CW + Ermor)

Maybe the choice was strategic to prevent a super-death team. Hee hee. Or, maybe Tom and I are fools... lawyers, but fools in the Dominions world, nonetheless.... (Actually, I might actually bet on that conclusion, but I think Tom would beat me to it.)

Now you two would really be insane if you do what Boron and I joked about with your two nation picks in regards to the themes you have available.

But yeah you did stop the uber death team. Boron and I were so close to getting Ermor. We did a big gamble and lost it big lol. We luckily got Abysia because nobody chose it for some reason. If we didn't get Abysia we would really be in terrible shape but it still will be very different from the game style Boron and I thought we would be playing.

Well Pasha you stopped also the Ctis team from getting Ermor as well so lets see how things play out. Will you use one of the undead themes of ermor? Will Ctis use Desert Tombs? Will Pangaea use Carrion Woods? Who knows we may all go death and make the game very chaotic lmfao.

Boron and I will submit pretenders tomorrow, we need another day to discuss wtf we are going to do lol.

Gosh! You and Boron got it goin'!!!

Dragonfire and I might as well make flash cards with various magical paths, etc., throw them up into the air and base our pretenders on the pretty patterns the cards make when they land.

But, you better watch out!! I am still shopping for the right paddle to get Boron back for what he did to the Mad Spider Lord. < froth, froth, wheeze > Maybe I will find it in a Pythium Shop of Curiosities.

Overall, the nations picks were not what I expected at all:

I'm really surprised that nobody wanted to pick Caelum and Vanheim. Especially considering that the map could have been Theater of War, where Caelum could have probably been playing alone

Then, why Caelumites didn't choose Machaka as a pair? Not that Caelum + Arcoscephale is weak or anything, but how one would counter Caelum + Machaka? Machaka takes red dragon fire-9 and expands like crazy with their spider using Caelum's spare gold, who just keep buying seraphs and researching. By the time somebody can field against spiders (early on even pretenders has trouble dealing with spiders), Caelum's seraphs will start dropping all over the place with lightining and false horrors. Ermor/C'tis could try undead spam vs spiders, but unfortunately for them, Machaka's best squad leaders are priests

Interestingly, that despite of all air-hype, 3 pairs didn't choose air nations at all (unless Marignon will be conqueror's of the sea). Being last I didn't expect to get Vanheim.

Meanwhile, who deserves a point for style?
I nominate
- Rise and Fall (Ermor and Pythium)
- When the Winter comes... (Vanheim and Jotunheim)

Yeah lol .
I really wonder which themes the Mighty Spider Lord and his companion choose .

Imo you would have roxxored though if you picked just Pythium + Abysia and we could have had our unholy alliance

Are you suggesting a trade? Would that be permitted? Hee hee. (Probably would be against the rules.)

I wouldn't mind a trade yeah .

On the other hand i am tensed to see if i can do anything with pan . Never played them so far and always rated them in my own nation ranking among 5 worst nations but i will see now if this is really true or if pan is not as bad as i think

There's always Broken Empire Ermor Then you can have hordes of undead spreading growth and order everywhere like me in King of the Hill
