Troop Positioning Edition
Previous Pantokrator: >>135143440
Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a strategy game.

First for Niefel went AI, bringing us down to three players.
First for big giant dicks.
>>135301495
Einhere, Vans and Skinshifters are all solid troops. You don't really need Prod.

I like the pic.
I liked the elephant whisperer better than the positioning link, though.

I think it would be nice to have a different educational link every thread. Although I'm afraid we'll run out of gud guides in a week or so.

I dunno, that pic pretty much sums up my dominions experience.

mine too: mistakes or stuff that could be improved, accentuated by RNG being a bitch
When you're wiping and keep getting poop on every wipe, do you ever give up or do you just dedicate yourself to using half the roll?

Two modding questions which come to mind after reading the MA Man discussion in previous thread.
Is it possible to:
1) give a unit philosopher ability with negative value? Man has monks and while Ora et Labora motto was specifically a Benedictine thing, focus on manual labor, study and general productivity was common to pretty much all western monastic movements.
2) make a unit recruitable only when a province has a specific scale? I know Ragha does it with some mages and Zhayedans (Heat/Cold), but I'm thinking about Knights of Avalon and Magic. Them being forest recruit in summod is kinda dumb, considering they're riding on fucking unicorns and it's not magic-creatures-everywhere EA. Having unicorns in every forest means that your forests are, well, magical.
Hey, how do we all feel about Perpetual Storm to ground some Bats. Thinking about casting it in retaliation for AC, want to know if anyone will mind.
(Can't cast it yet, but for when I do if AC is still up)
>>135305972
They are not common here in Germany either, but I bought one off amazon for 50 bucks. Installation took 20 minutes.
>>135306526
Philosopher ability?
>>135306526
1. You can't give a unit Philosopher to begin with. It's not a modding command.
2. Only works with hot/cold scales.
>>135306538
Perpetual Storm is perfect since it's obviously and strongly much worse for bats than anyone else, but also reduces income worldwide which is good for Lemuria relative to everyone else.
>>135306526
1)I'm not sure, would be a cool idea to try, I'll have a look asap.
2) Summod has a grudge with MA Man, due to it having some really fucking weird preprogrammed tags stopping recruitment being changed much. That sort of magic - recruit is possible the same way Therodos 's scaling recruit is possible in Summod, I think sum1won will really like your idea.
>>135307073
1. I'm pretty sure you can. Some natgen nations have it. It's #slothresearch <value>.
2. That's a shame.
>>135306538
That would be quite hilarious. Good luck getting the caster to live through Astral Corruption though.
Er, wait, if you have an immortal unit cast a Global, does it not dispel if they "die"?
>>135307454
Th-thanks.
>>135307817
It only dispels if the one lucky strike feebleminds them over every other affliction.
More on point, the overcast will need to be very high to compete with the blood globals it might bounce on.
>>135306538
Please don't I need my cash.
>>135308071
Won't Kurgi ruin you?
>>135308097
And my precision.
>>135308135
I'll cast it underwater with a mage I empower in water too.
Last time Kurgi got into a fight with one my W3s underwater holding a water bottle, the winner was not Kurgi.
>>135308258
I mean the feebleminded thing.
>>135308258
Kurgi is kinda weird in power.
>>135308578
>kurgi
>kinda weird
>>135308340
the chance of feeblemind is incredibly small, since any of the lemurs die pretty much instantly so they rarely get afflicted at all.
I'm worried about it hitting the Blood Vortex or AC slot though and failing because I can't overcast by 999
>>135308258
>>135308135
Water elementals are absolutely murderous against horrors underwater, if mage can spam them he can kill doom horrors.
Probably not maker of ruin though.

Useless waiting 2.0
As always map and thrones are placeholders and will be changed accordingly when the game starts (no longer on a time schedule)
>>135303684
>>135304018
Still salty m8
>>135308258
Please tell me you didn't cripple Kurgi, I want him as a pet.
>>135310430
You can't keep him.
Rapturous and EdibleGloves guys do your turns ;__;
>>135310532
Yes I can, I just need to empower him in nature and make him transform into something else.
Or I could just put him in a 10 dom province so he goes insane.....
>>135310692
Kurgi the lobster.
>>135309484
Not sure if you're admin, but I think I have a pretender I'm happy with.
>>135310692
Holy shit you're a mad genius.
>>135310430
Different game. Kurgi walked in on one of my mages of the deep in gopherholes, and did not walk out (encase in ice spam OP)
Hey Letsmakesum1happy Xibalba, are you still so sure you'll easily wipe out the spoopy ghosts now that they're literally 4 times your size?
Don't way I didn't warn you. This is the grave you chose.
>>135310692
Given that he has a high chance of breaking free right away, you might need to resummon him multiple times.
>>135310972
>>135310997
>>135311069
It's either that or empower them all in water and give them water gems.
>>135311342
You do know Mari is literally 1 throne from winning the game right?
Is LA Ulms shitty expansion the price they pay for their research and lategame?
Halt citizens of Ermor, I claim this thread in the memory of First Citizen of Ermor. Pay your dues to Caesar

>>135306538
As one of the..two? non-bat nations left in the game that needs cash, I don't want this to happen. I may be outvoted though.
>>135313587
Damn, they took "Read the memes" out of the OP
>>135313634
Shouldn't you have absolutely absurd income between Nature's Bounty and Well of Misery?
>>135313347
That's true. I like his rambling though.
Blitzserver Third Test starts and Helheim and Nief are about to stale the first turn.
I think we can conclude - these tests have proved people are too stupid to realize there's a different port after the game starts and they have to input a new port, and emails for pretenders should be mandatory (as well as a game-start email).
>>135313916
I currently have slightly more income than bats, but the margin between you, bats, and me, is not large. With your gem income and freespawn, it's not even really a competition. Mictlan's blood economy looks equally impressive (Although he kills like 10 of my scouts a turn so it's hard to have a proper picture). Actually I think i'm the only one left in the game who needs gold, i'm sure mict could just run off slaves at this point. :doomed:
>>135312220
He's a great player, but those were some seriously weak indies for LA.
>>135314767
He had a lot of luck with resources and province connections as well.
Honestly, 15 provinces with such start with no players or even AI to block you is really really mediocre so it doesn't actually go against "Ulm has mediocre expansion" statement.
>>135314324
Hello.
Also we're ending up in a weird pattern of sending each other two turns worth of stuff in one go, then missing a turn.
>TFW they discover you've sent Bane Venom scouts into their lands
Good thing I'm fucking huge.
>>135315540
I'm staling and/or doing hurried turns is why. Turns out maintaining a trade relationship requires remembering to send gems to person! Also our triangular trade system needs to resume.
>>135318538
It does, though I'm not sure Lemuria needs much at the moment.
>>135318764
Doesn't he just need infinite death gems forever.
moggers can you put a delay on Third Test, arco and nief are going to stale turn 1.
>>135319094
What is it with /domg/ and people staling turn 1 and onwards?
>>135318764
I can use pearls and death gems, or blood slaves.
I have around 50 earth gems for trade and a lot of air gems (my air gem per turn remains higher than death).
EdibleGloves Arco, do you turn!
>>135322012
I'm sorry it took so long for me as well. Fell asleep while waiting for clarification on the map issue.
>>135321295
I used all my blood slaves, though if you want me to do high blood crafting I can do that for you, B9 pretender has many benifits.
>>135322221
I wouldn't object to a sanguine dowsing rod or two, would definitely save me the time. My blood eco, surprise surprise, is still really weak. Kind of hard to set up as Lemuria.
>>135322221
>B9 as Rlyeh
Whattafuck
LA Ulm Black Templar build
>>135322110
Just remember to be kind to me :^)
>>135323028
Your bless is for shrouded vamps
>>135322780
I have 0 slaves, I was offering if you've got slaves but say wanted the Armour of souls so you didn't have to empower up to 4 to do the booster production chain.
>>135322962
YES, TRIBLESS R'LYEH.
>>135323126
That works too. Mostly it makes your expansion much more reliable and your early game army tougher to crack. You can count on Black Templars more than crossbows, and you're more likely to win any collisions with other players.
16 provinces year 1, including a throne.
Would have been 19 provinces except for some really bad luck with a commander getting sniped.
>>135323276
yeah, I'll be interested in that eventually, but currently I'm on the B1 part of that chain so it will be awhile.
>>135323821
Well, depends what maximum B you want, me making the 6B booster starts the path at 3, and also making the 5B one starts it at 2.
If something has two bodies I could make the nature/blood armour.
>>135323407
Also it's worth mentioning that I didn't lose a single black templar during expansion, leaving me with an army of 41 of them.
Quickly scrape together some crossbow support and you have an intimidating army going into year 2.
>>135323407
I always wanted to do that but it's entierly a suboptimal way to play I'm sure.
>>135323126
What for? Vampires can raid already and I really doubt they are survivable enough to be thugs.
>>135325118
>they are survivable enough to be thugs
They have invulnerability not to mention all the death and blood buffs in the later game.
>>135323123
You don't need kindness from the fakesnake. On the other hand, the frogs might be a problem for you.
>>135323028
I just threw up a little in the back of my throat.
seriously though, no gold scales, what are you even doing as LA ulm?
>>135309484
I think we should accept the fact that we're not going to have 16 players. 8-10 and we should start.
is standardEAgame Admin hanging around?
>>135323028
>-1 Mis
>No Magic
Ok I'm officially triggered
>>135309484
We may be some time redoing Man from the ground upI didn't realise whoever did the warhammer mod was bloody brilliant and so am canibalising his code for some witchery.
So I'd start before then, but do use the latest version or some shit will happen.
>>135326753
Speaking of, which is the best 40K mod?
>>135326963
There's 40k mods?
>>135326963
>>135327038
meant Warhammer, but if there are 40K mods sign me up
>>135326014
I need kindness from everybody, I'm a huge scrub
>>135327159
No clue, I only knew they existed before now, not that he'd done things which aren't noted as possible anywhere else in the modding community. Specifically making three buff spells which are mutually exclusive but different in Bretonnias case. You're probably not as excited by this as I am.
>>135306526
You should be able to just add/subtract research values through researcher bonus.
Just like Onis have negative research.
The mod commands currently allow only heat/cold changes.
EdibleGloves Arco do your damn turn I want to play REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>135329017
Could you learn a bit how to mod? It doesn't take long to pick up the basics, and it'd allow you to help out while waiting for turns.
>>135329017
They're busy being confused at their LA nation not having crossbows, and only having three mages.
>>135332290
>LA
>Not having crossbows
Just for the first 7 res crossbow province you find.
>>135332290
they have armored elephants. expansion should have zero problems
>>135331976
Not really my thing I'm afraid
>>135332290
I'm currently in 2 games (and 2 that are waiting to start) but it's taking forever since there's always 1-2 guys that finish their turns 12 hours after everybody else.
>>135333619
Don't worry then, just generally suggesting it as anons here have lots of good ideas (okay also lots of bad ones) and having some offered up as code/ways to do specific things that isn't straightforward would be cool.
>>135333921
I don't have any experience in coding and it doesn't really interest me. Spending the time playing King of Dragon Pass and browsing /domg/ (although I should be sending job applications, but I've been doing that for almost a year now)
http://blitzserver.net/matches/view/91
Arcosophele, Niefelheim, don't fucking do this to me.
>>135334881
Do keep sending job applications, you'll get a foot on the ladder some day, just have to keep trying.
>>135332290
I mean pythium took his turn, god knows that nation is more confusing?
>>135334881
Orlanthi Nation when?
>>135335419
When it becomes remotely possible to model Orlanthi magic in Dominions.
>>135335419
Literally Marverni.

>>135335237
I do, but not as often as I should. Things are pretty horrific when it comes to getting work in my country (especially in my city) since the unemployed populace (of adults who aren't of retiriment age) is over 10% and rising which leads to every single job, even the shittiest ones, getting dozens of applications.
>>135335419
Well the Orlanthi would be pretty similar to EA Ulm except for the mythos. They'd also have to be almost completely buff-based magic wise (they'd also have to be able to do rituals that boost income, remove afflictions etc.)
>>135333270
I was trying to be facetious. But yeah, elephants are nice. I miss Machaka.
>>135335297
I am Pythium.
>>135336041
Could be worse, could be greece. Tailoring CV is possible may help, as in such situations there's going to be a lot of people using the same one again and again, even a small nod towards the role you're applying for helps, yes even if it's flipping burgers.
>>135335419
The events would be the best
>Your entire nation has been destroyed by enraged dragonewts
>>135336663
Your CV isn't that important (meaning the looks/tailoring part), the businesses only care about work experience in the job you're looking for, and even if you happen to have that you're gonna spend a lot of time unemployed because there will also be several other people with experience applying for it. I have several friends who both had experience and studied for the job, and still had to send over a hundred applications before getting work (and most of those didn't even end up getting work in their field). Basically to get a start you need to get incredibly lucky, or have connections through parents that can get you a job.
>>135337287
By "possibly may help" I meant "the only thing which you can do to very slightly help". It's a roulette wheel basically, was just trying to give some minor positive.

Just kill me. I hope the socialists win so I can just live off of the state.
>>135337534
How old are you? It's not like there isn't time to start trying for your dream job.
>>135337534
I'm applying to uni this year for the second time (and will probably/hopefully get in) but I still need a job since I live on my own.
>>135325457
There's not much that they can beat with an N9 bless+shroud that they can't beat with normal body armor. They don't have the HP to fight anything that can deal damage to them, and they already are resilient enough to beat PD with some minimal gear.
>>135337534
It's cool. I've managed to do this 4 times now.
WOOOO ARCO ACTUALLY MADE HIS TURN GODS BE PRAISED
>>135337719
Good luck anon.
>>135338548
Fifth time lucky, you can do it!
Been working full time for five years. It's a dull sort of pain.
>>135322012
Dont worry I made myself AI
>>135301779
Probably the funniest thing I've seen in this game so far.
>>135339706
Why would you go and do that?
>>135340338
The whole reason I joined was to go AI
>>135340545
I'd like to ask the same question again
>>135340695
I figured the AI might win the game and I could claim victory since I made the god
>>135340897
Post god
C'tis, are you still playing or are you going to chainstale to death?
There was an Arco that wen't AI in NoWeebs2.
Arco the new Ulm?
>>135342367
>wen't
>'
???
>he wasn't kidding
What the fuck?
Why even join the game retard?
>>135310676
Rapturous people are in diff timezones so probably best to not expect more than 1-2 turns a day.
>>135343308
2 would be a blessing. So far it's less than 1 per day (first turn 2 people hadn't done their turn after 24 hours)
>>135343267
whelp, if I'm lucky I'll be next to him for some free chow.
>>135343485
The first turn is automatically set by the llamaserver to 48 hours (or something to that extent) to give people time to realize "hey the game started".
>>135343608
It better be me
>>135343626
Well it's still turn 3 after 3½ days
>>135343267
Because some people enjoy ruining a months-long experience for others.
He's an asshole, is what I'm trying to say.
Can we just like roll the turn back or restart with only 11 players? It's only turn 1 and we've waited this long for the game to start, I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer for a proper start.
>>135344365
Only if you give me enough time to rename my god
>>135344365
>>135345002
Imo we can still keep playing but if the majority wants a restart it's fine, although the same idiot can always do the same shit again.
>>135346387
Just restart, kick arco and start the game with 11 players. With an AI on the board it just means whoever happened to start next to him gets free expansion after the first year and most likely a free capital. It's kind of horseshit. If we were 7 turns deep and he went AI I'd say yeah, forget about it. But since it's only the first turn I think it's easy enough to just restart and kick him.
call out to EAgamestandard admin again
I'm fine with restarting. Don't matter to me.
>>135344365
Yeah, sure, restart.
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=wittymemename
Map will not be riverlands no need to fear if that's why you aren't joining, it'll be some nice map for whatever player number we have.
Woo new turn
Okay, we're starting again without Arco this time.
>>135350217
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, rip expansion
holy shiiiitttt I hate modding ma man so much
>>135350721
>>135350217
I probably shouldn't tell this but this is just pissing me off too much. The expansion party led by my prophet attacked an indie province, nothing special, light militia, archers and a few light cavalry. My units were in 2 squads, the enemy cavalry and militia came at the first squad, the light cavalry died right away except for one which started routing, and my second squad decided to start chasing it instead of attacking the other enemies. This led to my first squad routing against the light militia (the light cavalry killed a few of them before dying) who in turn killed my prophet because the second squad was running across the battlefield chasing a single horse and thus died my prophet and his expansion party.
Shit, a dude told me to cast storm to stop enemies arrows, but just now i noticed there is a storm battle spell, then i casted perpetual storm.
>>135350394
>228 land provinces.
>Still starts bordering LA R'lyeh.
Today is not a good day to be a snake cultist.
>>135354078
Could be worse. Could have been 1000+ land provinces, and still bordering Therados.

Well if you feel strongly about it there may or may not be anything I can do about it. Just be aware that your island is surrounded by water and I am an aquatic nation.
>>135355760
There are quite a few islands but I won't spill the spaghetti yet in case Yomi decides to play nice. Just know I already got a province Yomi, up to you to decide whether it's a bad thing or a potential alliance.

I'm going to un-start this game since Niefel and Arco are awol.
>>135357391
Here's hoping you can do something to stop Therodos from snowballing
>>135357485
Well there's really only 1 potential island for that (which he confirmed), there's 3 islands in the map, one of which is basically 2/3 of the land provinces and the other one is still big enough that it should have 2-3 players on it.
>>135357485
>>135357391
Also why haven't you made your turns? I'm getting withdrawals here what with Edible restarting and all (plus I must have my vengeance on the few indies that are left after killing my prophet)
>>135358105
I like to wait until there are five minutes left and then turn it in.
>>135358260
If you were Yomi I'd believe you
Why are Janvaldorf's sacreds so shit? On paper they seem like they should be pretty solid but it's not happening that way in practice.
>>135358710
Isn't it the flying fear dudes you want?
>>135358710
Post a picture of the sacred?
Is it cap-only, or rec-anywhere? How much does it cost?
>>135312057
Pedantry here, but Julius was very much not the first citizen of rome, and this was only a title taken up by Augustus so as to not have the same fate as Julius.
>>135358951
He was a lifetime dictator indeed
>>135326471
Shore. What's up?
>>135359076
Not him but are we waiting till we have 11 players before we start?
>>135358861
Cap only, this is in an O2 province, they're pretty cheap at 30g. But still, it's a three attack cavalry with W9 bless. It should be able to do better than rout some archers and beat some weaker sacreds that were already softened up by flying PD. Shouldn't it?
Oh yeah heads up everyone, Janvaldorf gets flying PD.
>>135359154
That's the plan, but if yall want I can dig out an 8 person map and start nowish.
>>135359278
I'm fine with waiting, but if people want to start asap that's cool too. Doubt many of the players are browsing right now though
>>135359271
I see the guard of stars units, so I'm assuming you're Kyonai?
If you're using the longbowman like you should, they shouldn't be that much of an issue. Just don't try to check their DeF and you should be fine.
>>135351448
Hahahahjhaafsd I hope this was MP, I really do.
>>135356141
best part is that if Mictlan already made some, when you wish for it you don't make one, you STEAL one.
>>135359525
Of course I'm using longbows. He caught me by surprise by using actual basic tactics (he hadn't before) but if this is the strength of his units he's gonna be in for a hard time once I start doing that too. Hell, I might even start using magic soon.
>>135359271
Strength nine and seven attacks mean pretty much jack and shit. Anything with half-decent protection is functionally immune until fatigue builds up.
>>135359271
>poor protection
>poor damage
I dunno, that sounds about right.
It's only 3 attacks for the first hit, and even in T3 the quarterstaff only does 12 damage so that's pretty sad.
If it's fighting in O3 the quarterstaff does 6 damage and the lance does like 12 including charge bonus, so you only have one decent attack per cavalry.
If you can hold an extended melee fight they can start critting once enemies fail to hit enough times, but then you have to worry about archers ripping your 7 protection sacreds apart.
>>135359271
>Janvaldorf gets flying PD.
>all those militiamen
Just how much PD did he buy?
>>135360127
Enough that he could have bought a fort with the gold. It won him the battle though, and inflicted substantial casualties on me, so I guess it was a good deal for him? It's not a trade I would have made, but I guess he's better off taking a gold-for-gold loss and trying to defeat me before I start hitting research goals, since mine come first and once I get there he'll be at a substantial disadvantage until he hits Rain of Stones.
>>135359271
I mean, to be fair, they cost 24 gold under turmoil 3, which I imagine someone with Daeva is running. So it shouldn't be too surprising that they're not bullshit like lizard lawnmowers.
Ya know, if Seor could afford them anyway.
>>135360690
>Janvaldorf, a Hoburg Nation
>Casting Rain of Stones
I don't think he wants to do that unless he's suiciding the mage.
>>135357485
Ugh. Alright, what sort of prices can you offer me on magical wares?
>>135361140
Believing in yourself gives you 10 bonus prot against RoS
>>135359824
Are you seeing the actual fights? Like do your battle summaries match what happens by the end of the fight?
Cause every conflict I've had with you gives me mismatched reports. And most of my fights against indies have as well.
>>135361140
It would be costly to him but it would hurt me a lot. Actually, every option he has to deal with me is pretty costly to him, which is nice.
>>135361553
The one you commented on in the message I also got it wrong. I hadn't noticed any real accuracy problems before that and I didn't watch for every little detail in the latest one but it seemed broadly accurate.
Fish are friends, not food. Much better than icky ghosts. Everybody loves us. Just ask the mermen.
>>135362424
Also sneks. Sneks are friends.

Need one more for blitz. Please enter the chat room.
>>135335230
There were two persistent stalers in the second test, too. My guess is it's just the same guy, putting in multiple pretenders. Require people joining the game to post in the thread and/or find some way to track ips submitting pretenders.
Tir na nig nog let's go
>>135360920
>if Seor could afford them anyway.
WHY IS THIS MAP SO POOR
TNN, you ok with drawing that border in the northeast direction, at least up to the river?
>>135371001
My section seems fine. You're just used to pymous maps with 300 gold/province or whatever, right? He changes the province settings to do that. the basic province settings are much lower. Basically those maps come prebuilt with 300% income game settings.
>>135311342
>>135311520
Do you guys even want to continue this game?
>>135373101
>You're just used to pymous maps with 300 gold/province
I don't play those maps.
I'm used to 30-50 gold provinces at the very least.
My income is half of what a nation of my size should be pulling.
>>135359271
Flying hobbits are the only good hobbit sacreds in the game and even then they aren't actually very good, they just can fly.
>>135370647
C'mon Tir na n'og I wanna play ;___;
>>135375349
It worked!
>>135376269
Praise the (lizard) gods!
Purple men: Where are your elephants? Elephants are nice. There are elephants next to you. I promise not to touch them, even though they look delicious. You should take your elephants over to visit those elephants.
Other purple men who are slightly more goatlike: The monkeys are yours, we suppose, though we would like for them to be our friends. Can we have the frogs instead? We have some of their cousins, and we would so like to complete the set.
Kitties: You saw nothing. Shhh. That was embarassing. So you didn't see it.
Tir na nog and Therodos, why are you messaging me about pigs? There's some monkey business going on
Holy shit.
It's blitz time.
Please go into the steam chat if you'd like to play.
>>135378606
Baxia the Grey?
>>135378819
Baxia the about to single-handedly break me into Blood magic.
>>135378921
What nation were you again?
>>135379006
The one right next to you.
Prepare your butthole.
>>135374597
The game is pretty much Mari vs Ghosts right now. If Mari starts staling, you might as well just quit and declare Lemuria the winner.
>Agartha is tiny
>Patala is even tinier
>R'lyeh is decent size but staling
>Ulm is decent size but staling
>Xibalba is the only decent size player left who's not staling, but he's still irrelevant compared to Marignon and Lemuria
>>135379174
Hm. Nah. The only T'ien Ch'i I'm near is in a game that hasn't had a new turn recently.
So, someway along the way I got an event in one of my provinces. I must have completely missed it and only now notice it. Basically, I have no idea what it does, but it gives the commander in the province the choice to either "Withdraw (event)" or "Magic (event)". The only site in the province is a Turtle Village.
Anyone know what the event is?
>>135374597
I'm staying only to see Patala fall and he will fall, mark my word.
>>135380728

Unfortunately, the first draft of the cav buffs didn't work. I'll see what I can do vis a vis getting them to work properly later.
>>135381780
I'll fix 'em, just had sleep and studies and now TURNS.
Also they don't just affect cav, because I can't do that.
>>135381235
>it turns out to be the Anthrax quest line
Oh boy.
>>135383178
Who doesn't love Anthrax.
Incidentally, does nobody else save their turn files from previous turns? I have altogether 152 subfolders in my save folder just at the moment, with more in an old saves backup.
>>135383958
I just keep the Llamaserver mails.
>>135383958
>Anthrax
CRYYY FOR THE INDIAAAANS
>>135383958
I do the same, though I usually move my saves into a backup when I reach around 60.
Anything more than that makes it annoying to find my current turns, and that's 20 turns back in 3 games which is usually enough for anything I need to check.
>>135383958
I keep a folder for each of my current games in my savedgames folder and have the most recent three or so turns in the savedgames folder named something like CurrentGame08.
Armemegeddon gets the three-digit meme, though, so it's Armemegeddon010.
