Around 50% of hags are useful in battle with the right research (some of the later blood spells or as part of a communion) so you don't really regret recruiting them. The N and D ones can research and spam shitty fear and sleep spells in a pinch. Hidden in sands is kind of a bad example because it n...

Zinegata has already explained the broad strokes. Blood sac has two main uses for you, you can use it to get rid of someone that is turtled up if you don't want to or cannot breach their final defenses, or you can get some temples with jade knives and H3s and kill your neighbors quickly. There are o...

Well, you staled because I only extended the timer 6 hours because I didn't know how much time you needed. I'm still unclear how much time you might need for this upcoming turn or if it is even possible for you to play it.

I delayed hosting in the hopes of preventing machaka from staling.

In the future I would appreciate a post with a specific delay interval requested so that I can do that. Even if you don't have time for a 10 minute turn, I still expect a 1 minute post.

Realm of Rampaging Roachs would work. Download link is here. It was the map I was going to use for a 5-6 land nation game so it be alright. The llamaserver version might have preplaced Victory Points though if you go that route.

I'm pretty sure caps are always VP provinces. Go to the create game page on llamaserver, scroll down, learn something new. Yes, because you're off talking about impossible theoreticals like how a cap can't be a VP province. Again, two forts on year one is EASY. If you have 6 VPs on Turn 15 it's lik...

F9S9 blessed sacreds I don't like that option, flagellents are lame and massing sacreds doesn't work without better scales than you can get with F9S9, and the bless does nothing for your mages or summons, but if you really like blesses and gimmicks you could try it. Take a dormant pretender with go...

It's actually very doable to do three forts on year 1-1.5. You already start with one fort; you just need to build two more. If capitals aren't vps then you have to build 3. I actually do know how to do early infrastructure, and mid year two is too damn late for a VP fort if it only takes 6 to win....

True, but if players are going to incompetently leave VP provinces unforted then it won't matter much in the long run either anyway. The key here is that it really doesn't matter what any one player does, if every player takes 3 vps in expansion and some people leave a combination of 3 unforted vps...

First to 6 is kinda ridiculous, play a thug nation and recruit scouts, drop in on the unforted vps that are sure to come up in a newbie game in year 2, win.

Dispels: Globals have a strength measured in # of gems. That strength is equal to the extra gems you put in (so total gems minus base cost) plus a bonus for how much the caster's path level exceeds the requirements, I have heard that paths from boosters don't count, equal to 5 times the extra paths....

Thugs can kill PD and some moderate amount of enemy soldiers on their own. The key is thugs are designed to do that for the lowest amount of gems possible. You have a successful thug if you are getting 1 province per turn for around 20 gems, 30 at the outside. SCs are designed to be really hard to k...

Elite warriors. If you don't screen your mages your casualties will be unacceptable, and most early summons don't really have a lot of screening potential on the open field. Getting SCs in the midgame is quite the trick if you aren't a giant nation, I think you mean thugs.

Thanks, fbmf. Everyone Else: We had a last minute sign up, so the map is changing. I want your input, the choices are Land of Ethereal Squirrels, The Desert Eye, or Streamlands. The two that are not default maps can be found here . The downside to Ethereal Squirrels and Desert Eye is they are both l...

The map is no longer available for download anywhere. You'll need to find another map. I have already taken steps to contact the map maker and since he is still active in the community he will probably get a working download up. If he is as responsive as usual, there will not be a problem. If you w...

Winnah: I need your final nation selection so I can look for a map; if I don't get it by around this time tomorrow I'll just grab a map that I hope will work.

The game is filling slowly and six players is pretty good, so I'm going to get it up on llamaserver tomorrow as a heads up to everyone.
