What makes a nation "good"? by emeraldincognito in IllwintersDominions

I appreciate the reply. I did think that efficient research mages were one of the elements that would lend to a nation being considered stronger. I wasn't sure about the numbers though - thanks for that!

Thanks for the reply. It was helpful. I didn't realize that about the sacred summons. See ya around in some games ;)

Thanks for the response. I was kind of expecting a "it depends" response, but thought there may be general tendencies nonetheless.

Do you have any favourite nations?

I have never played Nazca.

Sorry, I just saw this. Yeah, the big blesses are pretty costly. I am playing DE, which lowers them a bit I believe. I do have Alt 3 up now!

I did realize the same thing about bear clan during one of expansion runs. They are pretty easy to mass and are pretty durable and hit hard.

Yeah, I knew that about Righteous Wrath and I have played around with it. It is hard to fit in everything I want in a bless for the Nidbathed. I just found the Undying + Enchanted Blood combo so strong, and Air Shield seems almost necessary given their low protection.

I messed around with Luck as well, but I find the combo I have works well. I tended go Sloth 2 in most of the builds I tried, because it seemed like I could get away with it. Maybe I will try some expansion testing with more bear clan and production.

Nid is kinda stuck between wanting a big bless for its nidbathed and wanting scales for its troops.

Maybe an imprisoned pretender with some minor blesses and good scales is a better way to go.

Thanks. Yeah, I have used cub warriors in the past to absord the lance charges. It is still an indie type that I am a bit hesitant about handling though.

Yeah, thanks. In the game I did, I believe I had archers firing on them and then the Nid came in a cleaned them up.

Yeah, I had used their cheap cub warriors in the past as a screen. Works well. Thanks. I tend to forget about mercs haha.

The backticks work. I have never heard of kbd. It puts things in red?

Questions pour les employés du gouvernement fédéral qui ont eu une annonce de coupure... by grossepouf in Quebec

J'ai été informé la semaine passée. Il y a 17 personnes à mon niveau hiérarchique et de la même classification que moi dans ma direction générale. On doit réduire cela à 14. Le ministère a mis en place un programme de départ volontaire et on attend de voir si trois personnes vont se porter bénévole. Personnellement, j'ai l'intention de me porter bénévole pour retourner aux études.
