Now, we all play multiplayer games because we want to play with other people. Thus, if you intend to play to win, do you

a) Paint yourself as a target early on, either because you appear to be too weak or too strong
b) Keep yourself strong enough to not appear as a weakling but neither strong enough to gobble up your neighbours in a blink of an eye

Multiplayer gaming in its very core is like the TV-show Survivor: Do you want to be the next target?

Some would say only mediocore players can thus win. But the key is to play to win, and I think many will be prepared to play accordingly There are some damn excellent players around here who did not rush to paint a bullseye on their forehead (which I am happy of, seeing as I am neighbouring a few such players ).



@vfb regarding Blood: Dunno if it's just me, but bloodhunting is less than stellar. I decided I want to do some bloodsacrificing to pump up my dominion a bit. A B2 Pan was given the task to search for fresh virgins.

After two turns of bloodhunting and a grand-total of one captured blood-slave I discarded the idea. That one slave is now stored in the gem vault as a novelty, although I expect Bogus or some other hero to come and, as usual, rescue her in a couple turns...

in testing at 0unrest a single warlock was able to average like 4blood per turn hunting his own capital with as little as 0 and as many as 9


a b2 pan shouldn't've been that much worse, so either you weren't hunting your capital or you got unlucky to get so few.

Was hunting in my capital with 0 unrest, so seems I just was unlucky then. On average four per turn would be more than nice, as I'd need just two per turn for the sacrificing (would be nice to have a few more candles in my capital, just to make me breath a bit easier ).

Sinner! You admit your crimes against humanity. And you were already on shaky ground with that blasphemous global of yours feeding you gems.

Marignon declares war on the evil Pan nation! You can expect to see a legion of knights appearing on your border shortly, or failing that, Alverne the Friar will pay you a visit. Then you'll be really sorry for catching that blood slave. *

well pan's will be worse than warlocks but I would reckon a pan would get an average of 2per turn at least? just run a separate test game i'm too lazy to do it over (warlocks are the best blood hunter in the era but not the only ones)?

keep in mind that in my test game I had 0unrest on everyturn I hunted not just the first...

I want to install my Dom3 on another computer, and I can't find wherever I got the unique gem generator mod. Can someone provide a link?

Edit: cancel request. Had a flash of inspiration and remembered to check Llamaserver, found it.

I'd just like to salute those nations/players that died in the first wave- better luck next game.

[quantum_mechani]

Oh and a reminder since there seems to have been some confusion- both the sending of gems, as well as gold and items is banned.

Marignon flaunts our Brazen Vessel before the eyes of those who would use it for evil purposes. Verily we did slay a legion of undead to prevent this foul object from falling into evil hands! We are going to put it in a museum and keep it there. No blood hunting here in Marignon, that's for sure!

[Jarkko]

Hehe, figured out (again) MA Pan can't actually bloodsacrifice. This is about the 17th time I forget it's only the supercool *EA* Pans who can bloodsacrifice So much about that plan, back to building temples... At least the temples are still cheap.

In other news, seems Abysia has gone on overdrive with bloodsacrificing. Looks like there will be dominion kill casualties soon. Happily waiting here when Vans decide to start the sacrificing too
