So Research Points only reflect the guys you had researching LAST turn? I put another dude on being a nerd and there was no increase in RP.

Cap circle secured I guess. Though, uh, wait I am at the edge of the map. There doesn't seem to be a button to build forts.

They began to visit all of the personnel that had been working on the site that day. At 01:00 they arrived at Ramc's house. The survey meter they were using indicated high Dom4 levels as Ramc approached the door with Dom4 in his hands. Ramc was told to throw Dom4 into the street and then the radiographer put a stone over Dom4 and restricted access to the area. The resident engineer remained in the area to supervise Dom4 while the radiographer went to fetch equipment for recovering Dom4

Well, trip report from when the forums were down. I made up a ghost wizard or w/e Pretender for the goth Norse faction (Helheim?) and futzed around. I probably did everything wrong building him. I secured my cap and eventually got into a little war with my neighbor, (Maravi?) and dunked his Solar Eagle pretender, though I have like no idea how to siege and he still has some big stacks wandering. Also some other guy with a white flag and a ton of giants is kind of rolling in. Without any obvious 'at war' statuses gauging what they are up to isn't easy.

Until you learn to kill poo poo with magic it will probably kill you because it's good at building a poo poo tsunami bigger than yours. It will randomly declare war on you, then also stop randomly without telling you. Then if you attack it after it decides it is not at war it will defend against what it perceives to be a new war waged by you  Who am I mailing the "Good luck I'm behind 7000 longdead" coffee cup to.

This is why I prefer to play with people who are as bad at dom4 as me. That being said I will probably post the rest of the glorious turns tomorrow (I recently got hired and start monday, which sort of explains why I haven't posted much lately )

Incidentally, if you ever kill an AI player's Pretender God, for whatever reason even if it's their fault, they will forever war you and get extremely suicidal in trying to kill you. As in they will completely ignore other nations taking their provinces if it means throwing more troops at you. This can have rather annoying consequences in multiplayer.

Fat Samurai posted:My favorite PG's name has always been Peak Theorycrafting. That's not true. Something something Rainbowdash was killed by turkeys. Peak Theorycrafting had a masterful command of everything in his nation, perfect planning, and perfect scripting. Fittingly, he lost because of starting on a secluded island without space for expansion and being blocked off by three neighbours - all things that cannot be theorycrafted ahead of time.

A message going "Can't you outfit a thug with waterbreathing gear and start taking underwater provinces since you're stuck?"  Then when we caught up to the turn buffer, there were thugs going underwater!

I tried C'tis and made a bunch of snakes. I hear expanding early is super important so I had my guys lunge a nearby province turn two after making a prophet and recruiting some dudes. My snake dudes got blessed and then we got rolled by some dudes with pikes and arrows. EDIT: here is my Pretender from my first goth norse game though:

C'tis usually wants an awake monster god, like Erfsnake or the alligator head thing.

Yeah I had someone go AI on me in a game where they had maybe 10 holy points' worth of priests, killed their god, and like two turns later their PG appeared outside their cap I was sieging.

But I thought you only need like 30 holy points total to recall your god reliably? 10 per turn and two turns later, sounds like the AI just got lucky.

jBrereton posted:50 I think? Could be wrong! I could be, too! Either way, that stuff is based on luck. The more holy points you collect, the more likely is your pretender's return. Some lucky bastard could theoretically get their god back on turn 2 with just one priest calling.

I was pretty positive that it is a flat 50 points worth of god calling to get your pretender back, and that the AI just cheats like all gently caress because it cheats at everything else as well.

Decrepus posted:I have never heard of such a thing. Well, I've gotten pretenders back several turns earlier then they should be if it was a hardcoded number, so I don't think the manual lies in this case. If you hit the full number, you just get your pretender back, 100% guaranteed, but you can get your god back earlier if you're lucky. How are u posted:I was pretty positive that it is a flat 50 points worth of god calling to get your pretender back, and that the AI just cheats like all gently caress because it cheats at everything else as well. The AI could still cheat, sure. But JBrereton's example is pretty much worthless to find out about this since the AI could have gotten it's pretender back with luck, anyway. And in my games, AI-pretenders tend to stay dead, so I can't confirm his experience.
