Ok, I concede.

Congratulatios, Jurri! And good game to everyone else, as well.

I look forward to the next game

I guess I should, but my impression is that there is always someone waiting just to say how much I suck for not seeing the obvious way to counter the strat. That is to say, I'm not wholly impressed of the way the community functions when someone proposes any balance-related arguments. Just check the latest in that self-same thread. The dialect is too much for my tender sensibilities. Yeah, I'm a wuss.

Alas, I think you should remove the "balance-related arguments" part, and simply put "anything" instead. I must admit I feel as if getting *any* chance is a struggle in itself, even a cosmetic thing like grammar, so balance arguments are even worse. I guess that was what Mose Hansen labelled "the conservatism of the place". Shame.

Good game all!
That one was quick and painless...Oh, wait, I didn't play this one. In any event, it was a fine game. I see Jeff getting a little discouraged about the 'power' spells in Dominions. Well, some spells are obviously POWERFUL compaired to many less effective spells. But like Jurri says, 'There is more than one way to skin an Ulm.'
Recently I witnessed an army (TURN 30) destroy Caelum's Wraithful Skies, Storm, AQ, False Horror strategy. Previously I was leaning to the opinion that Caelum was unstoppable.
Jurri could have well been stopped this game. Understand though that he was Allied with both Ulm and Ermor (while Ulm and Ermor were at war). That's a pretty fine piece of diplomacy. On top of that, Norfleet is the only player I know who could beat Jurri without breaking a sweat. (That's not a compliment to Norfleet).
Party on fools.

Thank you all, 'twas a great game indeed! But you flatter me Cactus , I ain't that tough. What was the army like that stopped the Caelian Catastrophe?

@Alneyan: All too true. I'm sure it's the same with any other hardcore strategy game, though, so I guess it's an inevitable side-effect of intelligent people gathering... Which is too bad, really.

He uses a Triplebless for Mictlan . S9F9W9 .
Those Jaguarwarriors are beautiful .

These Scales are only possible because it is a teamgame with 5 two player teams fighting against each other .
But Mictlan could afford a F9W9 bless in a normal game and that would be almost as good .

The jaguars are quite fast and extremely cheap . And Mictlan has holy4 priests for blessing .
1 such jaguar warrior is about as strong as a devil , maybe even a bit stronger .
Imho the jaguar warrior is the best recruitable troop in the game .
True a Van or a White centaur is more powerful but you get 3,5 Jaguars per Van/White centaur .

Heyda, my old ally!

Great game! It was really funny

[PashaDawg]

Clap clap clap clap.

[Jurri]

D'you guys want an encore or what?

[CUnknown]

We could do a rematch. Um..If I'm hosting again (I don't mind it), I'm not sure exactly how I want the next game to look like. Do people like the 9 prov start thing? I'm thinking about Zen's other mods and about SC's recruitable balance mod. I really don't know what to do.

I do know I want to make Dracoliches illegal!!! And possibly do something about ghost riders, make it cost like at least 8 gems to cast. Does Zen's spell mod touch ghost riders at all?

[Jurri]

Yay, yay, please host! I'm down with any settings, really, and any mods. (A victory condition would be nice, though.) The 9 prov start on a crowded wraparound was certainly amusing but I'm not sure if it would be a second time.

Start a new thread for this, won't ya?
