Guildmaster supremacy

Finally finished my first sucessful guildmaster game, and boy was it fun. I managed to get a bunch of alchemists, captured sea resources, and a defensible starting position in a small peninsula cut off by mountains and forests, so the AI never actually bothered me until the late game. I did also manage to take quite a few cube forests in the void. I love how varied your strategy can be, how powerful your siege weapons become, and how RICH you become. amazing stuff.

If you have any thoughts about the faction or the images, please do tell me.

Shown are:

Military Graph (Green is Raksharaja, spawned south east, Cyan is Demonologist, spawned south-west, pink is Warlock, spawned north west, Blue is Dwarf, northernmost mountain, Brown is Kobold, middle.)

My final main army. Every single mage in the image is max possible level.(This was the first game where I properly took advantage of the ability to level up mages in libraries. Found a level 3 in the sky that I managed to painfully take.)

My starting position. (love having island citadels.)

The world map.

The economy graph.

Voice of El sweep

Recently played with the voice of El and, after a few tries managed to win. A very fun faction, can get very powerful, but with a suprisingly difficult early game. Having a bunch of super-powered AI armies running around was fun, as was creating heavily blessed cavalry lines of templars.

Fought against a few difficult AI, all of which I defeated by taking their citadels. As per usual, I was suprised by how strong the druid(purple) got.

If anyone has any thoughts about the faction, I would love to hear them.

Pictured are the economy, military, one of the final battles against the last AI, and the map (I spawned in the top right corner.

Random radiation sickness?

I was in the middle of a really good run, plenty of storage and all kinds of medicine, good tools, food water, armor etc. I was nearing the latter half of the desert when suddenly, My expie started getting radiation exposure. And it never went away, no matter what I did, or where I went, she kept getting around 10 units of radiation, which only made me panic more, leading to injuries, and a complete inability to sleep. After I got to the wasteland, I threw away all of my stuff, desperate to get away from the radiation, but it never did.

The expie died in agony, dehydrated, sleep deprived, and with major radiation sickness, and I do not know why.

What the f was I supposed to do?

Hello there! Seal victory and first death.

Hello there! First time posting, but I have been playing the game for 27 hours now and I have just finished my first seal map and wanted to tell someone who could appreciate it! It was pretty hard, as while I finished the first 3 parts relatively smoothly, the last part of the seal was a problem.

I did not have the needed production for one option, and I could not get the resolve of all of my species up high enough for the second option, which only left dealing with 2 forbidden glade events.

I did not have enough wildfire essences to complete both safely, so I had to make a choice between hoping I get rainwater fast enough... or killing a villager. In the end, I was running out of time, and had to sacrifice a poor lizard on the gate altar. Feels really bad, as this was the first time I have ever lost a villager in any way, and it was by my own hand...

If you have any general advice I would love to hear it.

The woodland bluggy

I really wanted to create something related to the game, but I am not good enough to properly draw, so I quickly whipped up a concept for a woodland bluggy. I am not quite satisfied with it, but I wanted to put it here anyway before I forget.

What do you think?
