New Noob Game

[Peacekeeper]

You spammed Send horrors. I was fine with that.
You've sent countless seeking arrows. Im ok with that.
But when your mind hunts THREATEN THE LIFE OF PERCIVAL THE POCKET KNIGHT, I AM NOT OK WITH THAT! It's personal now Da!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

[OG_Gleep]

Erm...sorry those seeking arrows were mine. Your Marignon right PK?

[DaMilano]

Oooh, I'm just happy if I finally managed to hurt something. I know it will probably take you a long time to recover from those three losses my main army managed to inflict on you this turn before dying miserably http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[DaMilano]

No, he's Pangaea - but I did send a few seeking arrows his way, too

[OG_Gleep]

Oh ok good.

[Peacekeeper]

Im not sure how accurate the battle reports im getting are. For example, i got told I lost 2 units though I can count more than 2 losses in the battle. The round before I got a report that only 2 of your units got away, but I mean, more than 2 of the mounted demons got away not to mention the other troops.

Anyone know how to fix this?

[castigated]

last turn, i had a report of "units: 2, killed: -10"....i didn't even summon anything. the only spells cast during the battle were communion slave and communion master (i hadn't scripted the mages, and they were dumb as tards)

[Morkilus]

Note to all Ghost Riders: The dragon Bwargh does not tolerate your looting and pillaging! All ghost riders will be subject to the following treatment:

Thank you, that is all.

[DaMilano]

And meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, Percival the pocket knight narrowly escapes capture by the victorious abysian armies. We will get him next time!! /threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif /threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif

[shovah]

no you wont http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif that diet of pocket lint makes him invincible

[castigated]

hey mork...does this mean you're gonna stop using ghost riders?

kkthx

[thejeff]

Well, it's been fun, but it's getting kind of pointless now. Caelum's been the only thing keeping me alive the last few turns and I'm so far behind in research I'm never going to catch up.

I staled this weekend because I was away longer than expected and seemed to do just as well, or as poorly, as when I actually played. So I've set Marignon AI.

Enjoy the rest of the game.

[Morkilus]

You have no idea how much damage your spies have done, both directly and indirectly. No idea.

[thejeff]

It's good to know they were having an affect. It's hard to tell sometimes with the subtler aspects. Just the unrest and
income loss? Or is there something else I'm missing?

You'd started killing them off, though. I didn't have many left and lacked the cash/time to replace them. With my forts constantly under siege, what little I had was going to my inadequate defenses.

If unrest goes over 100, you can't recruit anything in the province.

[Morkilus]

I might as well say it... I started to patrol with a huge section of the army there, and fully half of them got wiped the next turn by Murdering Winter. I don't know if that spell affects units in the castle, but I lost a *lot* of good mages and items. If I wasn't worrying about the spies, I might have not lost so much that turn (if i understand that Murdering Winter doesn't hit units in the castle)

[thejeff]

I don't think I got any of his provinces above 100%, though.

[Peacekeeper]

good game jeff.

[DaMilano]

That was a pretty fun golem you sent this turn, peacekeeper. Hellsword + monolith armor = -10 defense total http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Peacekeeper]

Ya, I rushed that turn in and didnt think about the consequences of him vs a sage province. Mass summonings of phantasmal warriors = bad for someone who relies on 33 protection.

Also, did you happen to notice if his stone bird ever attacked because it sure didnt seem like it did.

[DaMilano]

No, I'd have thought the stone bird would have killed some more of those longdead - seemed a little buggy to me..

[Peacekeeper]

my thinking was the reduced action points from monolith stopped the many stone bird attacks?

noone has really been able to give me a concrete answer on action points effecting attacks.

It doesn't.

EDIT: Except with trample. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Peacekeeper]

thank you =)

[Morkilus]

All i can say is... equip ligtning rings to your commanders. 250 ghouls, a couple banelords, and about 30 vine ogres were worth the victory.

[extramedium]

If you aren't full, I'd like to play Jotunheim.

[Peacekeeper]

you sure your in the right thread extra? this game is on turn 50 something.

[OG_Gleep]

Roflmao. I'll take Caelum.

not funny...

[OG_Gleep]

If you were in this game, you'd want caleum too.

[DaMilano]

Okay, I'm pretty much done for, so I'm setting Abysia to AI this turn.

Thanks for the game everyone!

[OG_Gleep]

Oh nos.

[Morkilus]

Is he really that dead already?

Just so y'all know... be expecting Ghost Rider raids from me as long as Deiotarius, Dripio, and Darius don't quit!

(reads memo... kills messenger...)

Ahem... all mages are asked to delay withdrawl on their paychecks until further notice. Those quitting will be summarily executed.

[OG_Gleep]

Yep he is. I'm about to take his last provinces this turn.

[Peacekeeper]

nice fighting ya Da. Was a good war i think.

[DaMilano]

Yes, well played Peacekeeper. I guess Pangaea weren't half as bad as I thought from my singleplayer experience. All that stealthiness can be really nasty against a human player.

[Morkilus]

For that reason, Pan is my least favorite nation to fight, next to... you know... the evil dirty bird people.

[OG_Gleep]

I wish maenads were stealth capable. I've got 500 in one of my games, and they are trapped within my borders.

I really like Pangea as well. They are deceptivly effective. But since they all share stealth, you can mix and match them to form a pretty solid base, and back them up with Vine Ogres + Blood summons.

[OG_Gleep]

I am heading out of town this weekend. If anyone is not playing in either of these two games I could really use a sub:

Schitzor
Random Nations (hosted by Graeme)

I'll be gone till Sunday, if you can, PM me and I'll send the info.

Thansk.

[Peacekeeper]

In case Winnowing/MD are up before Tuesday, im going to be out of town and would like to delay new turns until I get back. Thanks in advance!

[OG_Gleep]

Incase anyone missed it our server should be coming up soon. I'm going to ask IH to not put the timer on until either:

a) PK gets back.
b) If Nah or Cast knows how to reach him and he finds a sub.

If anyone objects please post here, but since everyone has been pretty cool about it, and we don't have much time I'm going to PM him now.

[Peacekeeper]

Nah and cast cant contact me and this is the only access to a computer i will have before tuesday(i shouldnt have had access at all). Wait 2 more days!!!

[Peacekeeper]

This is just a reminder that the game is up again...and just because there isnt a timer at the moment(I pmed iron) doesnt mean you dont have to play your turn.....og.

[Morkilus]

I'm guessing that means new turn isn't up yet? I ended up with no time last night...

[Peacekeeper]

13 hours til it hosts....or until og plays his turn =)

[OG_Gleep]

I wanted it to host late, so held on to it. I hate it when its hosting in the morning.

[OG_Gleep]

Anyone else feel the sting of beeing absent for over a week? I really have lost track of what I was thinking prior to our break. Its taken me a while mulling through the billion commanders and items to try and get my head back, and I'm still not all the way there.

[castigated]

yeah...i made a few magic-path boost items that i'm not sure what to do with.

[Nah27]

I had lost a couple items that took me nearly forever to find.... was pretty annoying defininitely.

[Morkilus]

A bunch of my best commanders apparently didn't come back from vacation, and they took their "work stuff" with them too. Wouldn't it be cool if the deserting commanders became indies or mercenaries, available for other nations? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Peacekeeper]

took me 2 hours of looking over my turn to figure out wtf i was doing.

[Peacekeeper]

Its on now nah, lets have a good fight =)

[OG_Gleep]

That was just overkill nah.

[OG_Gleep]

2 min to go ...will he make it.

[Peacekeeper]

nah stale or something?

[OG_Gleep]

Nah feel free to do that whenever you want after turn 70.

[OG_Gleep]

2 min to go again

[Peacekeeper]

id like to suggest we pause the game until nah shows up. theres not much point to playing if hes staling at the moment.

im pretty sure cast and og will agree so ill just go ahead and pm iron =)

[castigated]

fine by me....i didn't even notice he was staling...

[OG_Gleep]

Oh fine. I was counting on one free round to wack him. But if you wanna be fair and all....

[Peacekeeper]

I wish he knew he was staling, would have made my turns a lot more productive =)

[OG_Gleep]

Game paused.

[OG_Gleep]

Cast/PK...have either of you talked to nah? Whats the word?

[Peacekeeper]

he fell off the edge of the earth....or his computer is inoperable/something more likely.

[OG_Gleep]

Update us when you talk to him. He's in a strong position, wouldn't be that hard to find him a sub.

[Morkilus]

With that size of nation, and three nations fighting you? (I don't count anymore...) I think it'd be hard to find a sub at all for that. Then again, I was probably having the most fun in this game when I was fighting three nations before Caelum decided to fight, and doing moderately well http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif.

[OG_Gleep]

I haven't officially attacked him yet, and I don't think cast has officially. The attacks by cast were pre-arranged I think.

Caelum has all the cards at this point, its his game to lose.

[castigated]

i have not declared war on anyone at this point, thank you very much. caelum was giving me provinces as part of our pre-arranged agreement.

[OG_Gleep]

We gotta face the fact that he might not be coming back. IMHO we find a replacement.

[Peacekeeper]

Im in agreement, weve waited more than enough now. Time to find a sub.

[castigated]

i think we should just call this game. that's my opinion anyways. someone could sub in for nah, but even qm probably couldn't pull out a win in his position. and helz if og or i have a chance.

[Morkilus]

WTF? He's in a perfect position for dominance. Who else can win the game as it stands? Pan?

[Peacekeeper]

Ya me, you really overestimated the strength of nah mork.

[Morkilus]

Fine by me... Yay good guys!

--Fansy

[OG_Gleep]

Ah dammit...I dont' want to call it. I have been building up for 15 turns and JUST now ..this last turn ...its go time. I say we find a sub.

[castigated]

i'll play some more turns, but i promise no effort from my end in finding a sub. if you want a sub, og, i think you gotta find one.

[Peacekeeper]

Hey mork, Ermor is all but dead. Why dont you take over for nah? I mean youve seen how he is using his armies and everything...

[Morkilus]

That might be fun... but have we waited long enough for Nah? Can we assume Ironhawk has the master password?

[Peacekeeper]

I think we have waited more than week now for Nah? When i asked some people more experienced than me they suggested waiting 1 round of hosting(24 hours in this case) was proper, any more than that is a kindness...

Ill pm ironhawk and ask him.

[Peacekeeper]

Ya, ironhawk has the master password. For clarification since more than 1 person seems to think this, Nah doesnt live in the same place as Cast and me.

[OG_Gleep]

Meh if you guys want to call it i'll go along. I am getting back into warhammer TT so its fine with me.

[Peacekeeper]

Well since cast suggested it and im the one that would be winning...i think we have enough. If mork disagrees ill take the one province he has left.

[castigated]

haha....gg mork

[Morkilus]

OH NOOOS... I'm still fighting back! I'll teleport...somewhere safe...

Nice job, PK... I hope I was somewhat useful during your rise to power. Nah must have realized it was hopeless.

This game needed to be called anyway; anyone notice the victory conditions were "Standard"? heh heh

[Ironhawk]

Congrats PK! Glad you guys enjoyed the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
