[Dominions 6] 2 Grogs 2 Furious (IN PROGRESS)

[Tanaka]

And looks like we are all set to go now all pretenders are in! Due to the recent new patch I've decided to change and have some fun with Asphodel. As tricky as they are!

Did you mean to change back to Pyrene?

Yes I decided Asphodel is just too tricky for me to put up a good fight. Need more practice with them!

Thanks got it to work!

Just curious what map setting did you use? Seems very small and a lot of water?

All defaults, except north/south wraparound.  The map is very odd, with lots of weird peninsulas, impassable mountains, rivers, and WAY too much ocean.

Vanilla gen be like that. 

In all honesty, as screwed as I have been in many games, and as crazy as it comes out, something about it is pretty cool after years of playing on MapNuke.  I get having more balanced maps are fun, and preferable for competition games.  But there's something refreshing about the vanilla gen for friendly games, warts and all.

Same, I grew real tired of MapNuke maps after about half a dozen games when it became clear it basically just makes the exact same perfectly balanced world every single time.  I like the uniqueness of actually having a landmass that looks like something that might exist in real life.

Agreed. Map Nuke maps are so bland boring and samesy and I hate the colors. I really like what the Dom 6 maps look like now. It gives you that epic fantasy feel and the terraforming and weather effects are really cool. I also like how you never know what to expect instead of everything always being exactly the same.

Gotcha. Well the map is interesting for sure haha. I'm glad there are no water nations!

Agreed the maps look much cooler and it really enhances the atmosphere!

For some inscrutable reason, I am being attacked from a corner position before turn 20 for the second game in a row.  This time by Pyrene.

Corner wars are obnoxious and many players view them as griefing, myself included.  In case the reason for that isn't obvious: neither side that wins can reasonably hold the territory for most nations.

I don't think I can convince the lobby to leave me alone if I go kill Pyrene.  That said, I also don't appreciate moves that amount to griefing, regardless of their intentions.  Realistically, Pyrene's poor expansion should have put a target on them by now, to the extent that attacking me wouldn't be on their radar.  Since that hasn't happened, I will make an offer.  I will NAP anybody willing to take this conduct out of the game until Pyrene is gone, and am willing to commit to attacking anybody who backstabs the player attacking Pyrene if possible.

That way, winning a war means actually winning it and we can untangle the nonsense a bit.  I do want my province back, though.
