Ice schedule?

[dagorkan]

Had a quick look but haven't found any - is there or will there be a schedule thread similar the last phase (here) detailing what is going to be implemented and in what order?

There is no unique civic or tech for the Empyrean (in “shadow” some other religion specific civics and techs have been removed). Their most powerful function comes from their shrine, Dies Diei. Dies Diei founds the Overcouncil.

Warmongers that simply want to capture the nearest empire (regardless of their alignment or effect on diplomacy) will probably find it difficult to tap into the Empyreans true power.

It looks like Geralt from Lyria and Rivia (The Witcher) ... White hair, amulet in shape of wolf ... (

edit: i don't remember it exactly
edit: but style of this image confuses me a bit ... some parts are shaded/AAed, and in some parts i can reckognize pixels ...

Lyria? I do not recall...

Monkeyfinger must love him some Chalid.

 

[Love]

Wow talk about threadjacking

 

[Zechnophobe]

Yeah, wow, though, MonkeyFinger picked some really funny quotes there. If that's what Empyrean is meant to be, then it failed, epically.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

yeah, it's not nearly as much about peace as you would expect

Each release this request comes earlier and earlier.

We aren't releasing specifics yet. The very first version of 0.40 was built last weekend, and as normal for this stage its a really really really rough draft. There are tons of things left to do, and I wouldn't expect to see anything public for quite a while.

Truth is, the Empyrean isn't about just conquering the nearest neighbor.
It's about joining the Overcouncil and selling Honor to everyone else so they can join it, assuring everybody loves you, killing off anyone who desn't join, building Chalid and/or one or more stacks of doom while the computers twiddle their thumbs, then going out and conquering the nearest neighbor you have regardless of alignment or diplomacy.
Really, much more sophisticated. Lawful Evil, not Chaotic Evil.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

building Chalid and/or one or more stacks of doom

Why the hell would you waste time with those stacks of doom?

Why the hell would you waste time with those stacks of doom?

Have you seen my previous thread? Except in application, I use a ton of sun mana and sun III summons instead... which is even more devastating. It's like an army of Chalids.

 

[Zechnophobe]

'a ton'? you mean, like, 4 + 1 for Chalid? I guess Sheiam or Keelyn can get more, but that is a bit of a corner case (And seriously, Tebryn or Ozzy would get much better use from Death summons, since mages can summon pumped spectres too).

 

[WCH]

Grigori could get 16.

Huh. I forgot to mention that I do indeed play as Keelyn with the Empyrean... the Sun Mana is useful because it's never banned by the Overcouncil, and I get at least 1 free source. Having only archmages be able to summon uber-stacks is a pain, but seriously, it's like someone stole Chalid's DNA and built a cloning factory.
