Faerun - started

[Hubris]

Hello everyone. I'm brand new and taking Pangaea.

Thanks for having me, hope to have a good clean game, I hate blood on my leather desk chair.

Seeing as I'm new here, any chance we can get the pretenders to sound off? I'd like to know who to PM the death threats and beggings for my life to.

[PashaDawg]

Greetings and Welcome Hubris!

I am playing the Honorable Petender of Arco. We just want freedom to let our philosophers study and study and study.

Feel free to email diplomatic messages and your favorite recipes to me at whscom *AT* maine <dot> rr *dot* com.

[Manuk]

1st turn of man is done.

[Dimaz]

Hello Hubris
I'm also new here and I think you're my neighbor on this map (well, at least on of them). You can find me by the mail dimazzz80(at)mail.ru or by ICQ 118016925

[DragonFire11]

Hi folks. I'm here. I'm just having some issues getting the map files to work. I will try to fix this after work later today.

[Aku]

Make sure you have the current map file from here or redownload it.

http://www.dominions-2.org/

[PashaDawg]

I have been helping Dragonfire with the map issue, and I think it is resolved.

But, Ermor has not played yet. Do we know why? (I just sent him a PM.)

[DragonFire11]

I'm on, I'm in, and ya'll be sorry soon! And thanks Pasha for helping me fight my stupidity.

[Klatu]

We've been waiting a long time to get this game going and we are so close! Where o where ye be, Ermour! I say we put the game on 24 kwick host NOW!

BTW Hey Y'all
Klatu

[Oversway]

I don't mind waiting a little longer.

And if ermor is a no-show, thats probably the best nation to be set ai in the beginning... although I wish I was closer to it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[RibbonBlue]

Power to Marignon.

[YellowCactus]

Hehe. AI Ermour on rich world is...10-15 death gems right? Looks like the northern powers will be playing some Ermorian Junta.
-Yc

[CyborgMoses]

I hate to say this, folks, but I've temporarily lost my internet connection; I'm posting this from the local library. I'm hoping to get back online soon. Wait or put me on AI, whichever is better for you; I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

PS: I'm Broken Empire. No Death scale.

[RibbonBlue]

More like abuse the AI

[Aku]

I turned Ermor AI.

It is now on 24hr quickhost and turn 2 is up!

Hopefully the AI doesnt get abused too much.

[Manuk]

Uff, I thought Tien Chi´s pretender was F... You.

[Klatu]

BTW T'ien Chi's god is Yuck Fou.

Klatu

[Knudsen]

So far things are going great.

(I thought, I'd better get that one in while I can :-))

[Manuk]

blast! i couldnt connect to the server. this is terrible luck for me. And i even got luck scales.

[YellowCactus]

Try and try again. You have about 20 hours, don't dispair.
-Yc

[Manuk]

Not lucky at all. Saled turn and couldt help it. Ermor even stoled my mercenaries while I couldnt play.

[dian]

Manuk said:

Don't worry. Pythium miss one turn too.

[Aku]

new turn is up!

[Boron]

did my turn, new turn is up

[dian]

Guys. I have some problems with my 9 turn. None of my order is comleted. But some comanders move into another provinces. I never did turn with such commands. How can it be?

[YellowCactus]

Hi Dian,
Hopefully, you miss-clicked the mouse on some movement orders. That's happened to me once or twice. Sometimes when I take time to study my orders, a commander gets set to defend, or marches off to the wrong province. Do you have a password? Is it more difficult than 12345? I would'nt worry about it. Your closest opposition is Pasha, and he's all bark. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/firedevil.gif

[Dimaz]

Guys, can you slow the game to 48h for next week? I still hope that I'll be able to make turns every day, but just in case..

[Soapyfrog]

Dian, do you have a password on your pretender?

[dian]

Yes, i have. And it is more difficult than 12345.

[Manuk]

Luckily Ermor didn´t talk to me yet.

[Knudsen]

Gentlemen
I have a problem. I'm going on holiday this Saturday, and will be unable to do my moves for a week.

I'm sure this isn't the last time this problem will occur in the coming month, but I would appreciate if You could hold the game until next Saturday (the 2nd of July).

If you prefer to keep going, I'll understand and go AI following the next turn.

[YellowCactus]

Gosh Knudsen,
If you don't feel like playing, go Ai. Otherwise, find a sub. I nominate Pythium's player to govern your empire while your away. He's far enough from you to be objective and if he steals your gems, the Southern Alliance will deal with him ourselves.
-Yc

[PashaDawg]

Yes! Yes! Find a sub!

Sub would be good - I didn't think of that. Any takers?

[PashaDawg]

You could ask Jurri to be the sub. He did not want to play this game because it was going to be too big. But, things aren't big yet. So, give him a private message to inquire.

[Boron]

Knudsen said:

Yeah a sub would be good since we stated clearly in the houserules that we want this to be a fast running game. We said we won't switch from 24h quickhost for a very long time until very serious stuff happens.
So please find a Sub Knudsen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[RibbonBlue]

Jotuy Just wont give up. Death to the Giants!!!

[Cainehill]

How far in are y'all turnwise? I might be able to sub if it hasn't gotten to be a huge sprawling Faerun mess yet.

[CUnknown]

We're on turn 14 or something? Not too bad yet.

[Cainehill]

Was Knudsen leaving today? If he wants me to sub, I'll need the password. Else y'all will have to either wait, or set him to AI.

[YellowCactus]

Ouch!
100 horse brothers and heavy calvery hurt!

-Yc

[Aku]

Ulm turned himself AI...

[Cainehill]

Bummer - didn't see that he could use a sub until too late.

Must say - I despise, detest, loath the new clusterfart of dominions forums. Too many of them, and badly broken down.

[RibbonBlue]

I agree new forums = meh

[Klatu]

I was asked to let y'all know the server will be down for approx one hour. When it is restarted it will have the remaining 7 hours set. After it hosts the clock will be reset to normal 24 hrs quickhost.

It was posted that for next week the hosting be set for 48 hours....what's everyones feedback on this?

Klatu

[RibbonBlue]

48 hours if fine with me.

[Soapyfrog]

No problem here!

Moo?

[RibbonBlue]

Meow!

[RibbonBlue]

Woof!

[RibbonBlue]

Ermor Decleared war on me.

[RibbonBlue]

At 7:19 I still could not connect to the server, I just checked at 12:09 and the turn had hosted and I had staled. If there was ment to be 9 hours hosting time would that not mean I shoud have had untill at least 2:19 correct?

[YellowCactus]

You are correct RibbonBlue. For your troubles, Mictlan hearby breaks all alliances with Ermor.
-Yc

[RibbonBlue]

No, my point is, since I forgot to put a password, some one is fooling with my turns, as this is not the only time this has happened. Just a question, if I give my orders, then some one else comes and overwrites my orders, but does not give any orders, would it say I have staled next time I play? Cause if so, then some one has defintly been messing up my turns alot.

[Huzurdaddi]

Ribbon Blue,

If they followed the steps you are talking about I think you would not stale. You would simply do nothing at all that turn. As a matter of fact I do not know how I would get the staled message.

Boron,

what is up with that starspawn Utu? It looks lik he is soloing armies on his own! Amazing. How the heck is he doing that? Amazing.

[YellowCactus]

OH,
Now that is a problem. Normally I wouldn't believe our little community of Dominions players would intentionally do something like that. However, since the 'Norfleet' incident, we have to accept that some people will break the game for whatever reason. Hopefully whoever's messing with your turns is a new player and didn't understand the damage. That's bad. Bad bad bad. You should probably go ahead and attack Vanheim with all you've got. No since holding back!
-Yc

[Soapyfrog]

Yeah I put very secure passwords on my pretenders these days.

However Ribbonblue I dont think there is anyway to delete a turn of orders to generate a stale.

Although it was mentioned that there were 7 hours, not 9 until the turn hosting, so perhaps that is what screwed you up.

[YellowCactus]

It's very likely Boron is using assassins to take indi provinces. All the troops run away when there are no leaders left.

Maybe but check the number of kills that Utu has! Amazing. I am wracking my brain here. Maybe he has sufficient research to make a starspawn with the correct paths into a true SC? But it's pretty early. It's pretty cool.

[Soapyfrog]

You're all cheaters!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Oversway]

Utu doesn't have _that_ many kills. Lots of rabble to kill with indy 9 settings, and Boron has probably taken a lot of provinces by now. Utu may just be slinging spells from the back.

Yeah i think so or it is my void gate starspawn who got just xp for paticipating fights vs. otherworldly beings.

[Huzurdaddi]

Doh I did not mean it at all like that. I just hoped that after the game Boron would tell how he equipped that dude. It was/is really impressive!


Oversway said:

Maybe. But he also does not have that much XP. So I figured that the starspawn was newly equipped with some stuff that was raising hell or he has exactly the correct paths to sling some spell that could do some serious damage.


Boron said:

It's probably the guy who is out in the field. He is wracking up the kills!

[Klatu]

I mentioned yesterday that the server would be down for an hour. It was back up an hour and 15 minutes later. The clock was set for the time remaining when the game server was taken down.

As far as I know, once someone has logged in for a turn, even if orders were not give the turn is marked as played by that nation. No turn has been forced by the server as of now.

There have been no other reports of "strange" behavior by the server...(such as not be able to log in for more thasn a few minutes, or orders not being carried out. If anyone else has been experiencing difficulties, please, post a message about them. Stalled turns are being watched for any patterns (the server notes them). One nation accounts for 95% of them (for the sake of the game that nation shall be nameless). The remaining nations have only had a few. As a result they have been considered "intentional". Again, any server problems should be posted.

Klatu

[RibbonBlue]

WoW. I can't belive I forgot to put a little PD in my provinces. I just got overrun with scouts from pyth.

Dood.
i'm so totally killing Saddom!

[dian]

Such ignoble things come from The South: Machaka attack me 5 turn ago without any words. Mictlan do the same 2 turns ago. I think Saddam plays those races, not Pythuim. And now he scream that Saddam is Pythuim to cover real nation he's played.

Let's go kill real Saddam! Let's war Machaka and Mictlan together!!

[RibbonBlue]

Death to Pythium. Maybe the holy fires incinerate the false worshippers of the false god.

At least your not going to be bored, Dian! The Pythian empire is vast....Your armies are so mighty and bold that even last turn, your taking more indies. At least Pasha likes you....

Hey Folks:

I am going on a short trip: Late Saturday afternoon - late Monday afternoon. (It's Independence Day weekend here in the USA.)

Any chace we could slow up the quickhost a wee little bit just to make sure I (and others who might be traveling this weekend) don't stale?

Thanks.

Pasha

[Oversway]

I'm impressed by Pythiums armies too.

So....anyone want to trade a hammer for some clams? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[RibbonBlue]

Arg. I made the stupedest mistake again. I forgot to put my mages in the back of my army. ARG. But still, I did pretty well.
I lost though.
I fear the mighty holy armies of marignon shall fall before the unholy armies of pythons.

[Aku]

Oversway when I get a random e warlock I will forge hammers for clams with you.

and yeah pasha we can extend the time on saturday to extend into monday

[Huzurdaddi]

So Pythium is doing well? Amazing. It looked like they were nerfed in the mod. Things must be falling into place nicely for him.

So now that I am dieing. I a newb have a question. Is it fair play for me to give away all my gold and gems to some person to spite the snake like pythons(wait a sec, pythons are snakes! not snake like!!!?

[Cainehill]

It's actually fairly commonly done, giving your assets to a nation that stands a fair chance of going against the one that took you out. A few people think it's cheesy, but it's a historically common thing as well.

Don't be pathetic. I fight against not 2, but 4 people! And three of us attack me suddenly without any warnings. So, your words about "democracy" and "Saddam" sound strange.
It seems you can fight only when have a lot of allies.

I'm sorry, but i have better opinion about american DOM players. Now i see that they preffer unfair game with saying that their game is fair, but they opponent not.

[DragonFire11]

Ummm, pretty serious tone there for a game amigo. The strange sound of my words is attributable to the art of lighthearted joking. I assumed people playing a war *game* would not be offended by the act of war within the game, or even some related jocular comments. So if you view wishing you happy holidays, and giving you credit for playing the game well as 'pathetic' and a poor example of Americans, then perhpas you are the one with the problem.

The pretender of Tien Chi, the false god Yuck Fou has been slain by the brave and noble Jotun Giants. The killing blows were administered, fittingly, with a weapon of Abysian manufacture, a Kryss Knife which had been removed from the stinking corpse of an Abysian slayer mere hours before the perfidious Tien Chi army attacked.

Yuck Fou's death on the battlefield is proof that he is not a true god, but rather a charlatan dressed in a papier-mache dragon costume. His corpse shall be burned forthwith, save the head, hands, and feet. The head will be mailed back to the high mandarins of the corrupt empire of Tien Chi, and the severed extremities sent to the four corners of the land to demonstrate their desperate weakness.

Death to the enemies of Jotun! All hail Soapyfrog, defender of the true faith and champion of all free peoples!! Huzzah!

Aye, and yet another victory against Tien Chi this turn brings! Yea though my lands crawl with imps of the fiendish Abysia, still my opponents can not face me man to man. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I wrote that in the game settings in the first post.
So everybody who signed for the game agreed to that houserule.

YCs hurricane is force majeure so we turn off quickhost until YC is safe back. But after that we will keep 24h quickhost until turn 50. We do want the game to end before dominions 3 comes out. Iirc Dom 3 was announced for late 2005 so we need to hurry with the game. And apart from that it is more fun if it runs fast paced, i.e. at reasonable speed.

UG down

[Soapyfrog]

Whats with the server?

[DragonFire11]

Boron, I generally agree with you but since the server is down it might make sense to add additional time to accomodate those like myself who have one or two small windows each day to play. In my case, I did not know about the outage until it was too late, and I worry that I might stale.

[Oversway]

I agree too, I'd like to do my turn now but I can't connect, and if so I won't be able to until late this night... so I may stale http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pythium barely made it. I think he was at the 10 minute mark when he logged in his turn lol.

[Soapyfrog]

Smashed another Abysian army at the gates of his capital, killing many salamanders and imps, slaying a few demonbred... a phyrric victory unfortunately, as my force was so reduced in the battle the subsequent assault went very poorly.

It is unlikely that army will survive another turn, but we are confident that we have done considerable damage to evil Abysia. His military strength is at its nadir...

[Aku]

They were all expendable troops.

If you didnt notice I have arch devils and golem production starts next turn. The army you killed took 2 turns to make thats all and your army is basically dead, or will be on the new turn. The rest of your lands will fall after that since you really have no other forces. It really was a phyrric victory for you.

[Soapyfrog]

Heheh I noticed you have 3 Arch Devils, but that does not an army make.

Actually I am confused as to why you are so weak. You have not been able to beat my armies in the field, and your best tactic has been to mass cast remote imps. Where are the swarms of blood summons? Where are the ranks of Lava Warriors and Abysian Infantry?

Of course I will succumb to TWO opponents. There can be no doubt about that if no one comes to my aid. What can one do? Were you my only opponent, Aku, things would be veeeery different. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Aku]

If you were my only opponent I would of focused more militarily. I am only doing the war with partial attention and basically just aiding Tien Chi as my contract with him dictates. Why should I waste a lot of resources fighting you when I dont have to?

[Aku]

Clock is reset.

Pangaea has an excuse, he is moving to a new place and asked for extra time. Pythium though man you almost stale every turn!

[Soapyfrog]

Good to know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Methinks he doth protest too much.

Perhaps I should be clearer: I have you VERY well scouted, Aku... and you dont have much military strength at this time. Further I doubt TC paid you 100 astrals to be merely a nuisance to me. Your losses in this war so war have been high. Certainly much higher than mine! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thats not to say in 15 or 20 turns you wont be an unstoppable juggernaut. I think if you play your cards right, you will be.

[Aku]

I think my raiding has done its job of crippling your economy and causing unrest everywhere. If TC didnt have me and you fought him alone TC could of been in a bit of trouble.

Anyway all my development has finally paid off and production of my new toy will be starting shortly. And I could equip my AD's into SC's but I dont want to risk them against high str units such as the jotums.

[PashaDawg]

Good banter, boys.

[RibbonBlue]

If you see my oracle dont invade that province because I am using it to harras pythuim. And I am deepstriking it into his territory with Teleport.

Words can't describe the anguish!!!

HA HA HA HA.
Death to the sneaky and dirty snakes the pythons. I have killed Mumba THier oracle!!!
Bwahahhaha.

Hi All:

I am going away from Saturday - Wednesday. However, Cainehill has agreed to take over Arco for me while I am away.

Thank you, Caine!

Pasha

[YellowCactus]

You guys absolutely HAVE to see the movie 'Shaun of the Dead'. I can only say it's british and Ed reminds me of Arkas.

[PashaDawg]

Is everything ok with the QH schedule? It was 10 hours yesterday when I took my turn last night, and now it had started the new turn, but it only says 7 hours left!

[YellowCactus]

Yea....I'm no good at math....but somethings....wrong.
-Yc

[Oversway]

I agree, although I got my turn in... but it was rushed, I'll probably change some things tonight if the clock gets reset http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[YellowCactus]

The Clock was Reset

[Aku]

yeah sorry about that, the clock was fixed

[RibbonBlue]

Nooooooo.
I have to leave for camp on sunday.
And mean while I am reclaiming my capital from the dirty sneaky pyths.
My camp is a "computer camp" meaning they have computers.
It is possible that I might be able to continue from there.
But it is also possible I could not.
So I was wondering if it would be okay with you guys If I did not go AI, and then atempted to continue at the camp. If I did not, I would stale and then could you guys set me on AI?

[Aku]

Thats fine Ribbon Blue.

[Soapyfrog]

Another victory over the evil armies of Tien Chi! For the second turn in a row the enemy is thoroughly routed. The fire-blessed Red Guards and Celestial Soldiers did manage to inflict significant casualties on the nature-blessed Herses and Woodsmen, but the cost is easily bearable, with fresh troops flowing up form the heartland every turn.

Of course, it seems there is no end to these Tien Chi armies either, but their eventual victory shall be dearly bought!

[Soapyfrog]

Hmmm interesting to see that making the hellsword do -10 damage was not quite enough to adequately nerf it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

At least that Golem did not completely blenderize my army... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Aku]

Jotum probably has to best chance against a hellsword golem because you can actually hurt it at 26 prot and give it afflictions. Now I have to summon a new one this turn and transfer the gear and heal the afflictions of the old golem which will take a few turns and give him new gear. Bah the hassles. Anyway I have another sc coming your way but hes not a golem. One that will theoretically do better than the golem.

Soapy did the troops that routed die because I dont see a province they could of retreated to?

[Huzurdaddi]

Hmmm ... a golem you say? I guess astral weapon reared it's ugly head. That is a pity. It was one of the openings Zen left in the mod.

[Oversway]

Seems like a fair opening, since you have a counter with magic duel. (and for the golem, other counters as well). Anyways, I don't think the idea was to completely eliminate life drain weapons.

[RibbonBlue]

My capital shall be reclaimed.
I teleported my oracle into next to my capital(owned by pyth) then bought mercs in that province and invaded my capital to recapture it!

[Aku]

Server will be down for an hour.

[Soapyfrog]

Aku: Why would I tell you what happened to my army if you do not know? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Are golem's magic beings? If so then its time to forge some moonswords...

[Soapyfrog]

Another great victory for the forces of Soapyfrog!

Once more the main hosts of Jotunhelm and Tien Chi clashed on the field outside the fastness of Narfell. The Green Dragon of Soapyfrog and the Red Dragon of Yuck Fou had both taken to the field to provide encouragement to their respective hosts.

A great cry went up from both armies and the battle was joined. Enormous Herses and Woodsmen swung their swords and axes hewing the ranks of Red Guards and mowing through militia like the chaff that they were. A few celestial soldiers were on hand to bolster the ranks and indeed they held firm for a time as their lesser comrades melted away...

As the TC ranks broke and the Jotuns pursued through a hail of crossbow bolts, Yuck Fou succumbed to the throng that surrounded him, dying for the second time in this ill-begotten war. Desperately the remaining TC commanders attmepted to rally the troops with deed of great courage, but one by one they were slain until none remained. Out of 189 souls, but 32 wretched individuals escaped...

A great victory for Jotunheim! If only someone would aid the noble giants, it is clear that this war could be turned around... alas, with a fresh Abysian army taking the field there can be no question but to continue with a desperate defence, making my enemies bleed for every piece of land they covet!!

[YellowCactus]

We of Mictlan salute your bravery.

The Horrors!
-yc

[Soapyfrog]

Alas, while valiantly trying to protect the homesteads of the Jotun heartland, the Green Dragon of Soapyfrog has succumbed to one of Abysia's vile and fiendish constructs. He equips his Golems with hellsword, skullcap, marble armour, boots of quickness, ring of the warrior and burning pearl. Then the golem casts astral weapon, making the hellsword armour-negating. Dangerous, and teleportable! Also, non-routable due to the Hellsword.

The thing is not resistant to cold or shock obviously, and as has been pointed out magic duel may kill it. Masses of undead would also do the trick...

[Oversway]

I think golems have a 50 morale anyways. They arn't magic beings, unless zens mod changed this. Thats a tough SC to counter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Aku]

Golems never route.

Golems are not magical beings.

Bad thing about golems is their crappy attack rating is base 8 so you need to put a burning pearl and ring of the warrior on them.

[dian]

Guys. A strange things happend. A seeking arrow did about 32 damages ( 15hp + 17armor ). In normal games it does about 5-15 damages (not ap or an).
P.S. And one more. If arrow kills someone the message has a icon of question symbol (?). During this situation the message has a icon of Pythium's flag.
It's very sad thing. This hero was the last hope for a future war.

[Soapyfrog]

Golems will still route if not berserk if they happen to be in the company of other troops/leaders who all die/route. I think....

Dian, a seeking arrow can do a lot of damage in Dom2 (any weapon can) if they are lucky since the damage rolls are open-ended. (er... I think... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

[Oversway]

I thought that I've seen (non bersker) golems continue to fight after other troops died. Same with gift of reason'd gargoyles and crushers.

Although the routing stuff doesn't always seem to play by the rules... so who knows?

[Aku]

Yeah non berserk golems will not route. Jurri has used them against me armed with blood thorns in Invis Swarm. I will destroy the entire army and it will say Ryleh has routed but the golem stays to fight the entire time.

[Soapyfrog]

Cant seem to connect to the server...

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Reverend Zombie.

Nope, I am here, watching your progress against the fiendish Pythians with great interest.

PM me if I have missed an important diplomatic communique. I did stale once over the weekend, and would have missed a message sent in-game that turn.

[YellowCactus]

Is Pasha being mean to you Reverend?
-yc

[Aku]

It looks like Soapy must of hired Manuk to invade me even though we border on only one province.

Soapy how does it feel that you are going to get Manuk killed? Well you probably find it funny that you are going to have someone die with you lol.

[Huzurdaddi]

My gosh, Aku, such tough talk by a person who hosted the the game and selected the nation most unbalanced by the mod.

Comical and sad.

[Soapyfrog]

Victory again in the field for Jotun! An Abysian army comprised of about 30 devils, 25 imps and 30 Salamanders is intercepted and smashed in the woodlands of West Rawlinswood, all three Anathemant Dragons supporting the force slain without mercy. A handful of salamanders and imps fled the field... the victory came at no small cost to the Jotuns however, but reinforcements are on their way.

Still, while the string of Jotun victories continues, the strategic situation continues to deteriorate. The noble Herses simply cannot be everywhere at once. How much longer can this go on?

[Aku]

WTF is your problem troll. Why dont you stfu and go troll some forums you are actually in the game.

And wtf is unbalanced about Abysia. I am sure Soapy has seen no unbalanced issues. I play Abysia because I like them and thats it. In another cherry mod game I am Abysia and nobody complained about them. The nations complained about were Pangaea and Ryleh being unbalanced by cherry mod. Pangaea getting light lances on the white centaurs and Ryleh getting 3g 50 morale lobo guards.

So Huzurdaddi stfu before I stuff your mouth with my cock.

[Oversway]

I wish I had more scouts over there to see the fun.

[Soapyfrog]

Oy! Language! Tsk tsk. And I hired no-one Aku, my pet. Manuk was inspired by the courage and honour of the Jotun race in their struggle against a vicious and unwarranted assault by the evil, and largely incompetant (:D) forces of Tien Chi and Abysia.

I beleive that soon all nearby nations will rally to the banner of righteousness and victory over opression, reducing Abysia and TC to a pile of smoking embers!

As for balance issues... I have opinions, and I'll express them when the game is done. Now lets not have such unpleasant outbursts, please. It cheapens us all.

[Huzurdaddi]

Aku,

Oh my you are so tough. I'm quaking.

Abysia is the reason I did not play this game. One test game was enough to show me that the nation is totally buffed by the mod.

And considering what I have seen of your personality I am quite pleased that I am not playing. You are quite the ... ahem ... must be nice ... character.

[Cainehill]

Think Pasha is due back today, but with some big critical battles happening next turn, I'd like to request that the clock be pushed back a bit just to ensure he can take it, as I just don't have the time to do it justice.

[Oversway]

I'd like to request more trash talking by Pasha in this thread. Thats the main reason I joined this game. Well...sort of http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[YellowCactus]

Huzurdaddi.
Would you please stop posting in this thread. The game is tonz of fun. Your mean-hearted insults are effective at getting Aku's goat. Hope your happy, now go away so we can enjoy taunting each other in peace.
-yc

P.S.: Your taking the GAY out of GEORGE.

[Manuk]

The everwise and traveller god of Man, Malkutt has spoken an inspiring message of concern of the crimes done by strang people hardened by fire whos origin its unknown to us.

The murdering they do has a reason, they sacrifice innocent to a bloodthirsty god, and most of the people of man disaprove that behavior. This is to summon devils like born the most fearsome dreams. Every soldier has now a crusade:

Stop the world from being flooded by inhuman creatures.
No matter what the perils are, the gentle giants of the north must be saved from extintion. And the word of truth must be spoken by our divinity.

[PashaDawg]

I have returned from a very relaxing time on a lake here in the beautiful State of Maine! I will play my turn soon, and I promise to crank up the trash talk for CUnknown. I better hurry up... I dare say that Arco will soon be squished by the evil yoke of C'Tis! (Bad, Rev. Zombie... bad! Just because I attacked you without provocation does not mean that you should squish me with such cold-hearted abandon!) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks to Cainehill for filling in for me while I was away!

I believe the maxim goes: "never trust Arcoscephalens predicting yoke-squishing by C'tis..."

[CUnknown]

I know I'm not hosting this game and I have no business setting rules or anything... but...

I hear that the game has a unit max of 30,000. I hope that people will take this into consideration and not go too crazy on units so we never hit that max. I'd do my best to limit myself to under 3,000 units, at least until there's only like 6 people left or something. If you are playing one of those powers who gets tons of free units and can't help yourself, I'd say a limit of 5,000. That should be the absolute max until people start getting eliminated, I think.

Obviously, I have no authority to make rules. I think this is a good common-sense measure that we can all self-moderate on, though. We don't want the game to break! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If we do hit the unit max, I'm sure most people would just quit, right? I think we should do everything in our power to avoid hitting that max.

Not that I'm anything even remotely close to 3,000 units, I'm just saying. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[YellowCactus]

I totally agree with Cunknown. Furthermore, if your Pythium, you shouldn't build ANY more units. You've got quite enough already young man!
-yc

[Boron]

I like the suggestion too.
Fortunately Pan is not Pan CW but base Pan and Ermor is soon dead and AI.

But still we can easily break the 32k unit limit.

There is one problem i can see though: Some nations need lots of bul**** units for some special purposes like mictlan slaves for bloodhunt patrolling.
Mictlan can easily get 1000-2000 slaves alone for patrolling and i don't know if pan took turmoil, he will get maenad hordes also.

Aku has the last word since he is the host but i would say that a voting doesn't hurt.
So please vote if you want a unit limit or not.

[PashaDawg]

The Arco Council of Philosophers has authorized me to take drastic measures to ensure that the C'Tis undead hordes will be kept as low as possible.

I'd like to take this quality moment to thank the brave men and women who help give the Arco Flying Horsey Brigades their mythic-oomph!

Um...reports of Mictlan strength have been overestmated by the decietful, lying Pythiums. I assure you that the blood site Dian speaks of is nothing more than an Inkpot's End at the top of an old, dormant mountain. Furthermore, Mictlan's financial crisis have deemed the sale of this sad province neccesary.

And I have returned and thank you for the slow hosting on the weekend. Yet another glorious victory over Tien Chi! A marauding army of Red Guards and celestial soldiers met its demise in the icy north, having penetrated the Giantspire Pass all the way to the Icelace river. In thier desperation to stem the endless tide, Jotun necromancy helps win the day. Not a single soul of that ill-fated army would ever see it's home again, those that fled were lost to the endless jotun wildernesses. More than 40 celestial soldiers and a vast host of Red Guards and lesser troops perished, at acceptable cost to the victors.

To the Mandarins of the ill-starred Tien Chi Empire I say thee this: we will swallow your armies whole!

[Soapyfrog]

Yuck-Fou of Tien-Chi... how many more must die? What is the ultimate price of your seeming lust for the blood of your own people, spilt to fertilize the soil of Jotunheim?

We almost grow tired of trying to enumerate our victories... once more, a Tien Chi army is defeatedly soundly at Giantspire pass, masses of red guard and imperial horsemen slain, celestial soldiers lying in heaps upn the field... we can but weep as we slay, knowing that things could be different, if Yuck Fou simply willed it so.

Alas... his appetite is insatiable...

[YellowCactus]

Wow,
First, Tien-chi, Then Abyssia, Now Pangaea. Soapy, you are surely the scurge of the North. I'm not certain if you might not take the prize for 'Most ganged-up-on'. Pythium is the current holder of that belt.
-Yc

[Soapyfrog]

Well really Pangaea is attacking Man, not me... but of course this has a negative effect on me since Man is less able to help me out against the evil Abysians (still I hear he is doing a great job... at least one of those stinky Golems has perished).

I receive word that Pythium is on his last legs? Perhaps that means Abysia or Tien Chi will receive a well deserved knife in the back soon... one can only dream... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[PashaDawg]

Is this game on 48h quickhost? If we could keep it that way through the weekend, I would appreciate it. I have to leave for a conference on Thursday - Saturday.
