How are u posted:Should have a game that allows only elemental nations, nature and death. I've been slowly working my way through event modding, to mod in some bad events that trigger if you spam Astral/Blood magic.

Just have an event that sends a message to every non-blood nation every turn reminding them to maybe consider attacking their blood neighbors now and then

I just messed around with the game after a long pause and am sad that Supaya Supremacy has been nerfed - the one time I got to try it in multiplayer everyone flipped their poo poo and teamed up to attack me after it was pointed out that I had 1300 W9F9 bless Supaya in my capital with another 140+ being summoned every turn. Then, admittedly, they killed all of the Supaya with Magma Children, but flying priests leading raiding parties still wrecked face even before Michael Jackson, lord of the undead, escaped imprisonment and took to the battlefield.

I'm pretty sure I was the one making the magma children in that game, they're uniquely suited to killing f9 supayas probably more than any other unit. It's a shame that Nazca doesn't really have a whole lot going for it other than the supayas, I've not seen anyone do much interesting with them yet (but it may happen). The new nation Therodos might also be equally fun since it will probably have sacred ghosts and some kind of free spawning mechanic.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Piggypoopballs I was Atlantis in this! I took a very silly imprisoned scales monolith with paths for forging (a bunch of items my pretender couldn't wear) and globals (that I couldn't cast underwater). Nuclearmonkee has the right of it: mostly I just sat in the water and built up an enormous, heaving tide of fishmen to crawl up on land and sucker-punch somebody with. It was going to be Abysia, but Monkee convinced me to go after Bandar Log instead once they went AI. I think they actually started chainstaling the turn I attacked, because I never once had to fight a serious battle with them. Kitfox is a huge bro and never once attacked me despite playing R'lyeh and all my troops having garbage MR.    If I'd gone after Abysia at the time I started attacking Bandar Log, it might easily have been a loss for Monkee (and a win for Marignon). I had some very good battlemagic for basalt kings and huge, huge stacks of shamblers of the deep thanks to my excellent scales. But I didn't, and  ed out once Marignon dropped vengeful waters on me. Steamrolling Bandar was fun, though.

I was LA Pythium and I was supposed to start a two front war by attacking and stopping marignon and abysia whom I both bordered. I was supposed to accomplish this goal before they researched blood2 to bring army killing magics to the battlefield. Baalz strategy guide did not cover how to easily deal with this situation so I doomed everyone in the game to a horrible death. e: alumnus_post I thought for certain you would have attacked me after I blatantly attacked and took your land provs including one adjacent to your cap and then made increasingly insane justifications for it in irc. I guess I was just bored.

You can deal with them it's just hard. You need horror point defense and excellent quality troops or summons of some variety that can withstand demons. The problem with blood is that it scales really really well since it is independent of your gem income so if you foolishly allow a blood nation to get large and don't gently caress with them at all before blood 7 (when it really starts to snowball. At 7 stuff like vampires come out and their blood hunt provinces go from vulnerable to dangerous due to leech), you are pretty hosed unless you are huge in comparison. If however you keep pressure on earlier it's very hard to run a large blood econ pre-blood 7. If you have someone loving with you it stunts blood and growth, and lots of blood nations are not that powerful in the early game.

The problem is if you start far away from the blood nation and by the time you meet him in the late game, he has much more resources to leverage compared to a gem focused nation. Horror spamming is not only effective, it's extremely cheap. Blood's late game spells have no saving roll and even low level stuff like agony and imps can do a decent amount of damage later.

Yeah, the main problem with blood is that it's balanced around everyone in the game understanding that lategame blood is the best thing you can do but that you have a very clear window every game to beat them up first with minimal resistance. If you don't spawn next to blood nations, you have to bank on the people that did actually doing the right thing and attacking the blood nation in the early and midgame where they are typically mostly defenseless. You can lose to a blood nation simply because a bad player(s) NAPed them instead of ganging up to easily kill them and devour their lands while they were setting up an otherwise useless blood econ. A nation like Berytos or Marignon should never actually win a game because their neighbors need to understand that their lands are FREE FOR THE TAKING especially since every other neighbor should happily assist in killing them but in practice if you spawn halfway across the world you can't count on this happening.

EA abysia is basically the worst blood nation in the game to the point that I am not prioritizing blood at all and have blood 1 (shadow imps) and enough slaves to do that+forge+blood sac. Blood will come after firestorm if I live that long. If all you have is cap only s1b2 prioritizing blood is not a terribly good idea. Besides I got spring and winter mages so researching things they can do is pretty great.

^^^ I'm pretty sure it did. The province was mine last turn, but FnF teleported his golem into it to kill the PD during the ritual phase, and mine only got there during the movement phase so I was the attacker for that combat. I think mine was even winning the punch-off, too!FnF posted:Revenge is mine! (briefly, you're still winning by a country mile) Maybe, but between your globals and your assassins you're making my invasion an increasingly miserable and unfulfilling endeavour.

Who are the guys being stepped on? And more importantly, what's exactly the gold/res income bonus of Agharta in caves with forts? Are we talking of a fixed amount or a %? Because with the fucknig poor provinces I have, I don't know if investing 600 gold to gain 15 extra gold is worth it.
