...dafuq. If you're even vaguely interested, this would be the ideal game, no one is an expert. I probably played less than a dozen total mp games. There's always a first time and Dominions is daunting for everyone that picks it up for the first time. If I wasn't so busy with everything else, I'd gladly offer to coach you to a basic level but you can certainly learn things as you do.
No, an easy kill in Dom is just that, an easy kill. You'd be done quickly, depending on nations and pretenders ofc, if someone with more experience decides to just bully you. It's such a vast game. With thousands of spells, hundreds of artifacts and weird units... No one would bully you tho, it's not that kind of game. Everyone will be given a year or so for expansion, I think. We'll see. The biggest issue now is the game started already...
Remember, no one thinks bad of an unexperienced Dom player. If you can stand the memes and the jokes while getting your ass handed to you (which isn't even a guarantee, you
could surprise murderfuck the attacker yourself), that's the worst it could get really. What makes you develop a
bad rep in Dom and makes other people shun you for future games is, randomly going AI, especially when a war you're in just starts to nosedive and/or using especially trollish ritual spells when the game is already over for you (this would be hard to explain without becoming even more tedious than I've already been.)
A noob that stands his ground and gets pummeled, offering entertainment for the attacker and anyone bothering to send scouts to watch the fireworks? That's a Godsend. That's
fun! 95% of people are sore losers. Sore losers usually end up hating Dom.
