Nation Selection: Once the game is full I will randomly assign nations out. When signing up players may request up to TWO nations they DON’T want. These are nations you DO NOT want to play. Sign up in this thread.

After nations are assigned I’ll need you to email your pretender password to velusion@at@sbcglobal.net. This is because I’ve had issues with the Master Password working in the past AND so we can give your nation to another human player if you disappear. This is not optional. If you PM me your password make sure and include your email address if you would like to be included in the diplomacy email distribution list or want email notifications when turns host.

Once I have your password I’ll send you the ip/port of the server where you can upload your pretender. Once everyone is uploaded I’ll send out an email listing everyone’s email contact for diplomacy purposes and add you to the game turn email notification list (unless you specify otherwise). Then the game starts.

Quickhost will be enabled. The first 12 turns will be set to have a 24 hour autohost – so expect to do at least a turn a day for the first couple weeks. After that the timer will increase to 48 hours though it is hoped that players will normally still be able to play every 24 hours, with the occasional missed day. As turns take longer in late game this might increase further. As players get eliminated we can be more flexible with extensions and extended absences, but not in the first few weeks.

A small version of the map we will be using is here (http://67.66.187.69/dominions3/discordancesmall.jpg). The map has been tweaked to ensure (hopefully) that all players that start on land have at least four land neighbors and all players that start at sea have 3 sea neighbors. I have also tweaked the ocean connections so that separated sea provinces connect to each other across straits (hence all seas that look like they should be connected are linked). This map is a result of lots of random generation and a wee bit of photoshopping. If we do not fill, we will be using a smaller map.

Players who wish to surrender (resign) should simply let me know so we can find a replacement or turn the nation to computer controlled. If you will be unavailable for longer than a few days please let me know. Failing to do you turn twice a in a row without letting us know will get you put on AI. If I think you are missing too many turns (e.g. 3 out of the last 6) I will put you on AI. Once (*ahem* - If) I am eliminated I’ll rely on the remaining players to tell me when something needs done with the game.

[BandarLover]

I've always liked your games. The randomness feels like a mini-lottery. Sign me up.

Please no Jomon or Ermor.

[Jazzepi]

Sign me up. Anything but T'ien Chi or the Neiflahifhan. I'd love to try my hand at a water nation.

Jazzepi

The Lizzzzardsss will rulesss the worldssss!

[Ramiro]

well if you still need one please count me in !

[Reverend Zombie]

What's the beef against Jomon? It is currently the modal don't play nation.

[Tyrant]

So Evilhomer the R'lyeh expert randomly got R'yleh?!?

Nuthin wrong with Jomon IMO.

[WSzaboPeter]

Mail sent, this is a great opportunity to try Agartha Late age. Good luck everyone, and have fun!

[Evilhomer]

Funny thing is I get R'lyeh in every random game i sign up for. But to be honest, expert might be stretching it a bit, never played them in Late age even.

edit: it seems like FAJ ended up with marignon again. Also im looking forward to going up against you again Tyrant, it will be intresting.

[coobe]

Yeah Patala is so interesting, hope for some good fights http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Still thinking about my pretender though...

[Hadrian_II]

Feel my crossbows. Man will rule the world.

[FAJ]

You would think with all the fire-magic nations I get on random, I would be good with them by now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif.

You would think...

[Saint_Dude]

Is there still room in this game?

Back at ya Evilhomer, though i do not think we actually fought in the other games.

FAJ and i have exchanged nations since our last war. Warning FAJ- unlike you i will actually use Blood and not fight left handed as you did http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Have to say LA Aby is not on my list of favorite nations, but that's the way is goes in a random game, i'll do the best i can.

Good luck to all, should be fun!

Hey! It was my first game, I might as well have had both hands behind my back!

[Velusion]

I'm still missing passwords from a number of players. If you want in on the game be sure and submit your password to get the IP/port of the server ASAP.

[Velusion]

I'm missing passwords from:

Dedas - Utgard
Shovah32 - T'ien Ch'i
Reverend Zombie - Atlantis
Tyrant - Abysia

The due date to upload your gods is end of day Wednesday (CST).

[Shovah32]

I'll have my god and password in before the deadline.

[Velusion]

Ok I have passwords from everyone and everyone should now have the server IP and port. I just need everyone to upload their gods if you haven't already and we can start.

[Dedas]

Sorry but have you sent me the e-mail with the IP? I can't seem to find it.

[Velusion]

Dedas - resent the email

[Dedas]

Ok I got it now. As you suggested I had filtering on, most probably from one of your other games that I was eliminated in a while ago. So your mails just went straight in the trash. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I uploaded my pretender now.

[coobe]

no problem dedas! we let you pay for that in the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Dedas]

We shall see my friend! Although it is my first time playing Utgård MP I've been gaining quite some experience from past failures, I might even have moved from newbie to novice.

In the language of Dominions I have "gained a star". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[coobe]

then lets hope you dont get an affliction http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

i´m horror marked though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Evilhomer]

we seem to be uploaded, so lets get this rolling.

[Velusion]

I'll start the game when I get home tonight.

[JayThomas]

I'm having trouble connecting. Am I alone?

Erm...a few of us have been unable to get in to do our first turns--I still could not get in as of 7:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern DST. Could we have a bit more time for the first turn to get this straigtened out, please?

[FAJ]

there are 22 hours left on the meter as of now.

[Velusion]

Timers are reset if the server goes down, so time shouldn't be a problem.

Gah! /threads/images/Graemlins/Hourglass.gif

[coobe]

Already black Candles in sight..... thats not good....

[Evilhomer]

I also see black candles...some nation must be mad to start so close to the mighty R'lyeh.

[Hadrian_II]

i just hope my neighbour is not a land nation, it would be a bad start if i had to fight human opposition that early. (but a second capital would be a nice source of income)

[Tyrant]

Youv guys should just say where you are, that way we can reassure you.

[Evilhomer]

sure, I started in R'lyeh, close to the province 'ocean of plenty'.

[Shovah32]

Our nation too has discovered our first neighbour.

[Hadrian_II]

i'm sitting in the south-easth edge of the map, and i detected black candles on the island south of me.

Its the same size as every other large game I've hosted http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Evilhomer]

more than 30 provinces that only amphibious nations can reach, so I can't complain.

Especially for the LA R'lyeh. Discordance has a gigantic, connected sea, much like Velusion's other map 'eventide'. Let's all hope Atlantis is somewhere near R'lyeh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

[Evilhomer]

Great ....found atlantis http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[JayThomas]

I'll be on buisness travel from Apr 23 to Apr 26. I don't know if I'll have internet access during this time.

Can the game be put on hold during this time? If the delay is to long, a substitute is acceptable.

Thanks

[FAJ]

Im gonna be away this weekend. I will probably stale once, twice at the most.

I understand if you don't want to pause the game so early in it. Just don't turn me AI!

[Velusion]

Sorry - no delays this early in the game. It does move to 48 hour hosts after this next turn though, so you two will probably only miss one host at most (if that).

You might try asking a fellow player not involved in the game to fill in for you (they will probably only need to do one turn).

[CyborgMoses]

Haha, Atlantis and R'lyeh, with only one empty province between? Hmm... Now I just have to figure out how to beat down those crazy mind-controlling squid when my best troops have lousy magic resistance.

[CyborgMoses]

Wait, wait, 48 hour turns this early in? I can understand on turn 20, but now?

[Velusion]

CyborgMoses said:

Don't act surprised! From the announcement post:

Speed: 24 hours per host for the first 12 turns moving to 48 hours per host. Quickhost enabled.

[BandarLover]

Is the status page working? I keep getting 404 errors when using the link in first post.

[Velusion]

Fixed it. It has been up and working.

[Velusion]

Shovah32 (TC) has staled twice. Unless I hear from him in less than 24 hours I'll be looking for a replacement.

[Jazzepi]

Ugh. Accidentally lost to a dominion kill, I wasn't even paying attention to that =\

Jazzepi

[Evilhomer]

yeah thought your downfall was a bit sudden and violent.

[BandarLover]

I hate dom kills, just because you never seem to see them coming.

[Evilhomer]

well you do if you observe your candles, just start preaching if you are close to a dom kill. Usually not a problem for me since I prefer high (9-10) dominions.

[Jazzepi]

I was doing really well &gt;.@ I just was paying absolutely zero attention to my candles.

Jazzepi

[BandarLover]

That's what happens to me too Jazzepi. I once got dom killed two turns into a game playing playing Mictlan with a 'festival of fertility god being held' event. I GOT DOM KILLED BY A RANDOM EVENT!?! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Jazzepi]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

That makes me feel better.

I was rushing someone with skin shifters, and doing a good job of it my army was about 4x as large as theirs, but they had an awakened pretender and I wasn't paying attention to candles. I would have built some priests or something if I knew. So I guess they must have had pretender + prophet in the same army and it just overwhelmed my capital's dominion.

Jazzepi

[tromper]

hehehe, sorry about that Jazzepi, but you know how crappy my starting position was and your surge was sure to succeed - you were doing a fantastic job. And yeop, the Pretender and the Prophet knocked on your door at the same time.

(Oh and at least you should know that you gutted me and I'll be toast soon enough too, ya jerk http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

[Jazzepi]

Unfaithful louts! Next time I'll pillage my own capital when the candles get that low.

Jazzepi

[Evilhomer]

We seem to be waiting on one defeated player at the moment. Maybe jazzepi can press the end turn button, alternativly the host can press force host.

[Jazzepi]

I'm sorry. I didn't realize I had to end my turn for the turn I was defeated!

Jazzepi

[tromper]

Ermor -

Your incursion into the recently secured mountains to our South could perhaps be forgivable. However, it was clear that our valiant forces had eliminated heretics in Gnome Peaks prior to yours. While perhaps the Harab elders could be convinced otherwise, as our mutual pact is vital, the returning messages from the Mammoth riders decry your blunder, and it is causing discord amongst the Seraph underlings.

We ask that your forces leave these peaks, whose populace was celebrating our victory for a mere week before your invasion. Asna is being consulted, but her efforts in repelling the odd nations to the North and West are delaying response.

If you do so, we will remember, and the South shall be the domain of the once great Ermor, once these stranded celebrants are recovered.

If you do not. The Elders will congress and await word from Asna.

[Shovah32]

Filthy unwashed jotuns think they can sit on my capitol?

[LoloMo]

The Ermorian Council has reviewed the petition of the Nation of Caelum and has agreed with its merits.

In the interest of strengthening relations with our airborne neighbors, Ermorian troops have vacated Gnome Peaks. We have also respected the sanctity of your dead by burying them, as we realize that not all are appreciative of our gifts of rebirth.

May the resolution of this conflict further relations between our two nations.

Ermorian Council of Rebirth

Hey, we wear our smell like perfume. You will get used to it eventually. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[JayThomas]

I'm in Iowa, USA. I was able to get an internet connection but I can't connect to any of the game servers. Probably some firewall setting on my work computer which I won't mess with.

Anyway, I'll be home tomorrow evenning to continue my turns.

[FAJ]

Sorry for staling.

Completely forgot about dominions the last 2 days. Finals and whatnot.

[Tyrant]

Crimson Hope has faded http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif and Atlantis will soon rule Abbysia's small former realm. We did leave the Atlantean Dagon some nice parting gifts in the form of a dozen or so Horror Marks.

Thanks for the game and good luck to all (except Atlantis)!

[Evilhomer]

A shame you are out so quick. Now I only fear that atlantis will turn on poor innocent weak little me...

there seem to be some error atm. The game autohosts every 16 hours or so, but the webpage claims its every 48 hours.

[Shovah32]

The jotun pretender is dead. The force they had besieging my capitol is shattered(although the few survivors smell as bad as ever).

ps: now would be a great time to attack utgard with their SC son of fenrir dead.

GAH!!!!

I can't believe someone didn't mention this earlier... Everyone completed the last turn but a lot of people bounced the turn before that... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

If someone would have told me last turn I could have restored back!

[JayThomas]

That explains how I staled, I think.

[Shovah32]

Same here.

[Velusion]

JayThomas said:

Well you aren't alone. About 5-6 people staled but never made a peep about it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif. I can't fix it unless someone speaks up!

As it stands now a turn has passed that everyone completed, so I'd have to restore back 2 turns ago - something I'm sure many others wouldn't appreciate.

Sorry about that guys http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[BandarLover]

I'd be cool with starting back if those who staled REALLY need to. But it would suck to do all that again, especially since i don't remember what I did two turns ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I honestly never noticed it hosting early, just thought we had some SLOoooooooow people. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Evilhomer]

I did mention it like 3 turns ago, but since there was no response I thought people liked the fast pace =)

[Dedas]

Yes, you killed Ulvar, grandson of Fenrir, but now you have his smelly body in your capital! Ha ha!

Also, to anyone who would like to take the opportunity to attack me, know that I still have Urgrim, my prophet, grand champion of the recent deathmatch, ranked third in the hall of fame with no others than SC gods above him. He alone can defend my nation; one hand tied behind his back, drinking mead with the other. So I laugh at you puny humans. My people eat people like you for snacks before dinner. Ha ha!

[Shovah32]

If it wasnt for jomon still being a thorn in my side I would march in there right now and kick yo' *** mofo.

[Dedas]

He he he... I owe you one Jomon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Shovah32]

Dont get your hopes up, giant. When i get rid of these 'noble samurai' im coming for you.

[FAJ]

Im doing my very best just to recover from random events and my own stupidity! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

[Dedas]

I agree. In this game, your own stupidity is actually your greatest enemy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Digress]

Jomon was rushing to Tien'Chi's aid http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Upon realising that you had things well in hand we have nobly retired http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Shovah32]

Oh i get it now, you were assasinating my commanders to HELP me! Its all so obvious now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[FAJ]

Curious about using the sailing trait for the first time, I delved blindly into uncharted lands. I consider it bad form to attack without declaring war, so I am very sorry Arcosephele for the unexpected raiding.

Also, Velusion, I still want to be on the mailing list for this game. The e-mail I sent regarding the removal of my name from a list was for the Eventide game.

[cupido2]

And you landed just in my back. But I give you time to withdraw peacefully (before my elephants trample the "ants at arms" in the soil. Good fertilizer.)

[Evilhomer]

Some madmen accidently walked ashore, I dunno why they did that ...

Let me know if you don't get notified on the next host.

[BandarLover]

Haha...in my excited haste of new patch I downloaded and installed it....before checking to see if it would mess up my MP's first. DOH!

Will it screw anything up if I try to connect? Should I reinstall 3.06 or just wait?


I can be retarded sometimes, I swear. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Velusion]

You have already done your turn, so just don't connect to it yet. The next time it hosts I will upgrade it to 3.08 before anyone can connect.

[Velusion]

Velusion said:

Nevermind - you uploaded with the 3.08 patch which crashed the game.

You will have to redo your turn with version 3.06. If you already upgraded to 3.08 you'll need to install the game to a different location, patch it to 3.06 and do your turn (or just stale).

Don't worry as someone seems to do this every patch release. Just everyone keep in mind do NOT connect to the server with a 3.08 patch.

The server will be back up shortly.

[Velusion]

It was Pangaea (Fal) that did it. Tsk Tsk! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[BandarLover]

Whew...was gonna say I don't remember doing my turn before upgrading. Will wait for your server to be updated then.

[FAJ]

Ive upgraded to 3.08; but I have already taken my turn before that. Will the server be updated after this next turn?

[Velusion]

Yep!

[Fal]

Ouch, sorry about that, I had no idea.

[BandarLover]

Fal, what is your signature from? This line has been making the rounds with my friends and for the life of us, we can't remember what it is from...but I know we should! It is slowly driving me crazy and seeing you post here just popped it back in my head. I swear, this is how aneurysm's start! I know what I'm PRETTY sure it's from, but not positive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Velusion]

Fal - you need to upload using a 3.06 client. If you upload with your patched 3.08 client you crash the server.

If you have upgraded your install and didn't back it up first the only way you'll be able to do your turn is if you reinstall Dom3 to a different folder, upgrade to the 3.06 patch and do your turn (probably want to copy the map over from your 3.08 install). Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with this you can just stale this one turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Edit: The turn will host in about an hour, at which point I'll upgrade the server to 3.08

[Velusion]

Server has processed the turn and is back up with 3.08. Make sure you have the patch!

[Evilhomer]

anyone willing to trade gems ? I need nature/death gems, willing to offer any other (have mostly air and earth tho), items like hammers etc and if nothing else works money i suppose.

[Fal]

maybe. pm/email me.

[FAJ]

I only have 12 :\.

But i would be glad to trade them! (nature)

[Evilhomer]

well not much but i can send you 12 fire gems for those 12 nature if you want.

[FAJ]

ok, the gems are in transit

[FAJ]

Marignon in the market for boots of earth magic +1.

I can pay in air, astral, fire or slaves.

I need 3-5 of them.

Perhaps ulm could make an offer?

[Evilhomer]

I can make you those boots if you want, I don't want your slaves, no need for virgins in the deep blue.

[FAJ]

You can never have enough virgins around http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Shovah32]

You can when they die as soon as you bring 'em home http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Fal]

I can provide them too, will need some astral/earth in return. Pan always offers good price to its customer.

[FAJ]

I have already been contacted, and although the deal I got is not as good as you can offer im sure, i have already agreed with a merchant.

How about a starshine cap though?

[Reverend Zombie]

My internet access will be spotty this weekend. May I have some extra time submitting turns due Saturday or Sunday, please.

[Velusion]

I'll try to remember to increase the game timer if it looks like you will stall Reverend. Might want to follow up with an PM when it gets closer to remind me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

[Reverend Zombie]

Thanks!, will do.

[Evilhomer]

Something weird happened this turn, i got a corrupted turn message(for no reason) and I might not have been the only one.

[FAJ]

I didn't recieve the boots from you, I thought I had made a mistake and mixed up two games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. I'll chalk it up to a corrupt turn I suppose.

As for other odd things happening this turn, I thought I was lucky. I have order1 and luck1, and I managed to get 3 good events this turn. My assumptions of my luck were shattered though, as when I checked my provinces, nearly 90% of all my mages got either diseased or mute. Even one that had just been recruited! Oddly enough, the ones spared from disease were already insane from R'lyeh. Even my poor poor advanced scout, Leric, who isn't even old, has two afflictions. Doomed to die far away from his home ground http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Does blood hunting increase your chances of getting afflictions? My blood economy is about to die of natural causes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif.

[Velusion]

I'm taking this opportunity as C'tis to publicly begin letting my 3-turn NAP with R'lyeh expire. Unless someone does something about their exponentially growing power soon it's pretty much game over for many players anywhere close to the sea.

He will crush me quickly unless more pressure is put on him from others, but I'm not one to put off the inevitable.

[Evilhomer]

So little love for us innocent and peaceful sea dwellers.

Pangaea declare trade embargo on the evil R'lyeh, I will also support anyone who fights against the void beings with gold, gems, and artifacts. Regrettably I'm unable to join the fight as I'm not adjacent to R'lyeh.

[Velusion]

P.S. I'll give all my stuff when I'm dead to whomever helped me or hurt R'lyeh the most. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[FAJ]

He is adjacent to nearly everyone of my provinces, and I can't enter the sea. I am just waiting for him to decide to take my island. I feel sort of forlorn here.

[Evilhomer]

Was it turn 35 or 36 you cancelled the NAP velusian? And according to you what turn earliest can we attack each other ?

[Velusion]

36. I'm putting in my anti-r'lyeh orders on turn 39

[Evilhomer]

I have a large supplie of air(170+), fire(40) and earth(140), if anyone need them I would like death,astral,water or nature in return.

[Fal]

I also have a large amount of unneeded air and water gems. Need earth/death in return. Pans will always give you a better price than the void beings, so deal with the sane....

Wonderful news, Atlantis will receive our unconditional support!

[Digress]

All of this talk of a alliance against R'yleh has come far too late for warriors of Jomon.

After several large battles in which we were unable to defeat the mages from the seas to our south (they claim the stars but we cannot believe these abominations come from anywhere but the most primeval depths). No matter how many mad ones and assorted abominations we slew R'yleh mages survived and continued the throw Nether Darts at our rapidly diminishing ranks in battle after battle.

In a demonstration of the unwavering Jomonese honour code our finest mages have locked these accursed creatures in duels of the mind and have sacrificed themselves in an heroic attempt to avenge our fallen god, with some success (3 of our mages for each of theirs).

We hope others are able to avenge us and remember us

They came from the sea
Our katanas cut deeply
Shall we see the snows

[Velusion]

Soulrend LIVES!

;P

[Evilhomer]

The people of R'lyeh has decided to capture him and torture him a few millenia in the void, before he will be put down like he deservers.

[Velusion]

I just noticed he has the #2 spot on the Hall of Fame and far more kills than anyone else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Sweeeeet.....

Bring it crazy one! The Wraithlord never tires of slaying starspawn muck! C'tis has already divested itself of all worldly possessions so we can fight without hesitation and to the death! We hope those items/gems/gold will aid those who eventually bring you low!

Soulrend must die... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

I'm curious about this Soulrend fellow, you should post the image of your lone hero velusion.

ps. Jomon's Orion has only 9 kills but 1020 Exp?!?!?

[FAJ]

I tried to kill off another feeble minded commander by throwing him at Arcos massive 30 PD, but the fool had troops with him somehow. They failed to kill the commander but killed the troops that he somehow transported. :\

[Digress]

Orion is a mercenary leader - and hasn't been a very effective one for me. And while he has already seen R'yleh defeat Jomonese army after Jomonese war band after Jomonese assorted rabble he hasn't picked up any experience in the deal.

All his loyal troops have been nether darted into oblivion though....

Ask and you shall receive: http://67.66.187.69/dominions3/soulrend.jpg

BTW thats the Quickness heroic ability too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. I soul vortex up and sometimes cast Rigor Mortis if I feel like it (at least until my gems run out).

Actually he really could use an item upgrade... like some frost swords that are really nice - and maybe some quickness boots (I think it will stack with the heroic ability). If anyone wants to donate to the "Soulrend Forever" fund you'll get an autographed letter from him along with a promise not to invade your lands. Some more death gems (like 15-20) would be handy as well. Every donation goes toward hurting LA R'lyeh!

[Fal]

The nation of Pangaea hails to the greatest R'lyeh slayer Soulrend!

Ask and you shall receive noble C'tis, Some death gems sent, sorry Pangaea couldn't provide more, we are short on supply ourselves.

[Fal]

Wonderful news!

Pangaea will now offer artifacts at a much discounted rate. Check out our excellent prices!

Water Bracelet..6 gems
Skull Mentor...12 gems
Skull Staff...12 gems
Thistle Mace...12 gems
Earth Boots...13 gems
Starshine Skullcap...12 gems
Crystal Coin...24 gems
Winged Helmet...28 gems

Give him boots of quickness for his feet and for his hands i suggest 2 of the following: firebrand, frostbrand, shadowbrand. 4 AoE attacks per turn is fun(and thats before heroic)

[Evilhomer]

Oh I doubt he will be going close to a lab, much less forging equipment for himself. Its basically not C'tis vs R'lyeh at this point of the war, it's soulrend vs R'lyeh.

The Empire of Arco is not a hospital for handicapped Prophets nor an asylum for insane mages! If you want to get rid of your unwanted commanders in Arco's land, equip them with valuable stuff or send 2 gems to me. And don't send sneaky mages in my land. We don't like that neither. Thank you.

[Evilhomer]

I have taken my last turn before the summer and will be back around mid august. During this a friend of mine - folket - will be playing LA R'lyeh temporary. He has been informed of all current deals im in, so nothing will really change.

If you have paid for your membership into the "Soulrend Fan Club" and have received the official autographed photo of your hero triumphant atop a mound of starspawn corpses you will be exempt from his wrath. Soulrend realizes he wouldn't be where he is today without his dedicated fans.

This, of course, cannot apply to the starspawn scum.

BTW, being a man who has experiance with super combatants, have you any tips for me? I just sent a few to test out on Arcosephele, but I have low hopes for them due to no regeneration. Is ethereal\luck enough to keep them alive long enough to route the enemy? They arn't immortal http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

[Shovah32]

That depends on a huge number of things such as their health, protection, defence, fear, resistances, MR, killing power ect. If you post some of your set-ups in the main dominions forum you could get some more solid advice.

[Digress]

Jomon was so inspired by Soulrends example that we too have decided to head into oblivion.

Thanks for the game everyone - for me it has just been one big getting ground into the dust by R'yleh whilst being completely unable to land a punch on his starspawns(you know, the valuable, difficult to replace quickly units). I did manage to work out how to kill piles of R'yleh's freespawn chaff whilst being nether darted to death http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Hooray for me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[tromper]

I surrender to R'lyeh despite never encountering their zany forces. Nice job. I never once saw anything that happened to the West there, but apparently there was too much infighting and they ignored you or somethin'. Those two crazily good globals up is too much even if everyone ganged. Silly bunnies.

If everyone else chooses to slog on, please find a replacement or set me AI. Thanks for hosting, Velusion!

And no, you can't have my gems. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

if we don't dispel Nexus soon we might as well surrender. anyone up for it?

[FAJ]

I think its a shame that Arcane Nexus is often a game ender. I was having fun with this game too.

[LoloMo]

Ermor offers to overcast the Arcane Nexus, with the profits to be shared among the gem contributors. Minimum total astral gems collected should be above 300 before I attempt this.

[LoloMo]

FAJ said:

Oh shush, the game is far from over. I'm sure the lot of us can come up with 500 astral gems http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Fal]

yeah it's true Nexus is pretty much a game ender, way too overpowered imo. But given the circumstances that R'lyeh has many connected sea provinces as home base I reckon we won't be able to stop him even with a successful dispel/overcast.

I will have a lvl 9 astral mage available in 1-2 more turns and I can probably attempt to cast it too.

[Velusion]

I don't see how its a game ender if you all join up to overcast it... Just need an honest caster.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[LoloMo]

I believe I'm as honest as they come http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I will add that if any one of the Arcane Nexus, Inc. shareholders would be eliminated, his share would be distributed among the remaining shareholders. The exact amounts of each member's contribution will be PMed to each shareholder. The communal ownership of Arcane Nexus will have no bearing whatsoever on Ermor's diplomacy. Even if you are at war with me, I will still send you your share of the Arcane Nexus.

[Fal]

Yeah well maybe the game is not ended yet but we better dispel gift of natural beauty as well.

Well I'm more inclined to cast a dispel, it would be fair to everyone.

[LoloMo]

A dispel would not be fair at all, as everyone would try not to contribute and just hope someone else makes the sacrifice.

[Fal]

Interesting logic...I think you should really say a dispel is not fair to you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Sadly the fact is that no one except for us is offering gems http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I offer my pearl stores, but I have so few.

Few in Atlantis, as well.

********* Your Attention Please ************

As the second most powerful nation in the world, the Nation of Ermor announces the following Decree to all the inhabitants of Discordance:

ERMORIAN DECREE OF THE SUMMER OF THE FIFTH YEAR OF ASCENSION:

1. Whereas the Nation of Ermor has NAPs with Caelum, Ulm, Mictlan, R'lyeh, Atlantis, and Tien Chi;

2. Whereas the the Foulspawns of R'lyeh has cast the Terrible, Evil, Nasty, Incredibly Vile Arcane Nexus;

3. Whereas a Proposal has been put forth to Overcast Arcane Nexus using pooled resources, and with subsequent profits to be shared among contributing nations;

4. Whereas there can be no neutrality in the matter of the Terrible, Evil, Nasty, Incredibly Vile Arcane Nexus (unless of course if its benefits are shared by all);

The Great Nation of Ermor hereby terminates all NAP with the above mentioned nations, specifically, Caelum, Ulm, Mictlan, R'lyeh, Atlantis, and Tien Chi. Expect Ermorian Legions to sweep across your lands in 3 months time. War is hereby declared also on Arcos, with which we do not have a NAP.

War with Ermor may be avoided by becoming a shareholder of Arcane Nexus Ermorian Version, Inc., Ltd., Pty. To become a shareholder, donate a minimum of 50 astral gems to the effort of overcasting Arcane Nexus. To the shareholders of Arcane Nexus Ermorian Version, Inc., Ltd., Pty, the Nation of Ermor offers 25 month NAP, plus a share of the gem profits in proportion to your ownership of Arcane Nexus Ermorian Version, Inc., Ltd., Pty..

The NAP with Pangaea is preserved as Pangaea has pledged to support the overcast. If there are any nations that we have neglected to mention, please do not feel insulted, we declare war on you too.

To the Nation of R'lyeh, notwhitstanding your casting of the Terrible, Evil, Nasty, Incredibly Vile Arcane Nexus, you are also invited to participate in the Initial Public Offering of Arcane Nexus Ermorian Version, Inc., Ltd., Pty., and the same pacts will be applied to you.

To the inhabitants of Discordance, we apologize for this earthshaking announcement. We promise to make this period of conflict as quick as possible, although sadly we can not guarantee that it will be painless. Should this Ermorian ploy fail, the results are expected to be known in 5 months or less. Ermor will then concede defeat, and offer all its assets to R'lyeh, the obvious victor. The Aspiring God of Ermor will then turn over the task of overseeing the lands of the dead to the Omnipotent God of Bytes. The remaining inhabitants of Discordance may then seek to fight on at their leisure whosoever they wish.

Addendum:
Arcane Nexus Ermorian Version, Inc., Ltd., Pty will only be established with a minimum capital of 500 astral gems. The company will not be established if pledges total less than this amount.

[Fal]

ROFLMAO an official Ermorian blackmail.

Come on people donate your astral gems. R'lyeh is getting way too strong it will take all of us to bring him down.

[LoloMo]

The Ermorian Nation do not have any astral gems either, but we will alchemize ALL our current stock of gems. Approximately 250 astral gems will be contributed by us.

[Shovah32]

Or we could all just consider your blackmail offensive and launch a combined attack on you, making sure Rlyeh wins(as opposed to you winning, which is the likely case if rlyeh goes down).

[Fal]

although it may appears Ermor is the second strongest nation on graph, I don't see it as a particular threat at the moment, in fact it is rather fragile. So imo to make above so called decree was really not such a good idea, it would have been more effective if the leader of Ermor attempted to awake his fellow nations' anti-r'lyeh awareness, instead blackmailing all of us for the personal gain.

I guess that's the very nature of the undead. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You may have read something into my post but i never said i expected Rlyeh to go down with the nexus. I was simply pointing out that its obvious your rallying(or trying to do so) various nations against the biggest threat to your position.

[LoloMo]

I would like to request for a longer time between turns. This is my first time playing LA Ermor, and the sheer mass of units to be organized and given orders is unbelievable.
Adding one more day or bringing it up to 72 hours would be great!

[Folket]

Given the speed I decimate your forces that should not be a problem.

[Folket]

I'm sick and I propose that we postpone the hosting till Evilhomer can find a new sub.

[LoloMo]

Given the way I've won the last 10 or so consecutive battles using minimal mages that should not be a problem http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Just a barb right back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I'm ok with the wait while we find a sub.

[Folket]

I'm pleased to see that you changed the host time from 72h till 48h while I was sick so that I would miss more turns. Now that I'm back you may change it back to 72h as there is nothing to gain from 48h.

[Fal]

LoL

well to make you feel better, I managed to miss two turn for whatever reason http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and no I wasn't sick.

[LoloMo]

I believe you missed two turns this week and last. Don't worry, nothing much happened, except that I got some research done. Now that you are back, maybe I'll finally get some income out of my Arcane Nexus http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[LoloMo]

There was server reset a few days ago I think that might have caused the change back to 48 hours

[Velusion]

Does this need to be 72?

[LoloMo]

I was the one who requested 72 hours before. I'm ok now, as two of my games have wrapped up, and another two have stopped hosting for two weeks already.

[Velusion]

OK. If anyone wants to push it back to 72 - just let me know.

[Folket]

I would like to have the game on 72 hours again.

[Shovah32]

Tien Chi is about to die either due to a dominion kill or simply being conquered by the evil nation of R'lyeh so, with our death imminent(ie: next few turns) we here-by open our borders to the world and invite all players to come and conquer our lands.

Provinces of interest may include:
Storn Woods(182) which produces 3 Death gems and enables the recruitment of necromancers(D2 no randoms).
Ophaleph(145) which produces 3 Air gems and 1 Astral gem.
Monherboa(113) Producing N1F1 and allowing witch recruitment.

Other provinces:
Birman Heights(176) producing D1S1N1
Nydian Ranges(166) producing D2W1
Terrym(164) producing S1
Assad(143) producing S2A2
Feral Woods(127) producing D2 and enabling ghoul summoning

Tien Chi(129) is also yet to be conquered although with several hundred of R'lyehs troops outside it should not take long.
As a warning to Ermor my capitol does contain many priests who were attempting to prevent dominion kill so losses are to be expected.

The nation of Tien Chi also forged the following artifacts earlier in the game:
Fenris' Pelt
The Chalice(fun fun fun)
Winter Bringer
Woundflame
The Boots of Calius the Druid
Nethgul
The Astral/Death Twin Spear
The Sword of Aurgelmer(very fun)

We also have in our possesion:
1 Enchanted Sword
1 Faithful
1 Dusk Dagger
1 Light Weight Scale Mail
1 Dancing Trident
1 DemonBane
1 Pair of Boots of Stone
1 Eye Shield
1 Herald Lance
1 Starshine Skullcap
1 Rime Hauberk
1 Blue Dragon Scale Mail
1 Chain Mail of Displacement
1 Bear Claw Talisman
1 Ring of Tamed Lightning
1 Lead Shield
1 Jade Armour
1 Pair of Winged Shoes
1 Ring of Regeneration
1 Skullstaff
1 Thistle Mace
1 Moonvine Bracelet
1 Ring of Sorcery
2 Horror Helms
2 Pendants of Luck
2 Shadow Brands

30 Fire Gems, 139 Air Gems, 50 Water Gems, 17 Earth Gems, 104 Astral Gems, 198 Death Gems and finally 45 Nature Gems.

We know we wont be able to spend our resources well in our current position and with dominion kill coming up we may not get to use them. All the items, gems and artifacts listed must go so either PM me or post a reason here of what you want and why and I shall consider it.

[LoloMo]

LA Ermor of course would like to have possession of the unique artifacts, especially the Chalice and Sword of Aurgelmer. The ring of sorcery and other path boosters would also be very welcome.

Any gems received would also be used to destroy the Evil Rlyeh, whom we will fight until the end.

We thank the noble masters of Tien Chi for their help in putting up the Arcane Nexus, and assure them that their spirits will live on in the Arcane Nexus, and that we will eventually triumph over the alien scum. (I always wanted to say that, he he).

[Shovah32]

Looks like most of the stuff will be going to you, LoloMo - nobody else has said anything.

[Fal]

To be fair the game is rather hopeless at this point, R'lyeh has pretty much won.

[LoloMo]

Nah, I don't agree with that.

[FAJ]

I don't think there is a clear winner. Its just clear that I am not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. I will have pretty little influence, so I am setting myself AI come this weekend.

Sorry about that LoloMo, although I hope my gifts make up for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Haha, thanks Shovah32, they will be put to good use plowing the madmen under the ground =)

Thanks for the game everyone. It looks as if its going to R'lyeh now but you never know I guess.
Im suprised that I lasted this long with my dominion so low http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

[LoloMo]

Thanks Shovah, see you in another game. I will attempt to prove you wrong. Check back in this thread once in a while, you might be surprised http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Can this turns hosting be posponed 24 hours - I will be hard pressed to play it otherwise.

[LoloMo]

It's been postponed 48 hours.

[Evilhomer]

This game is set on 48 hours quickhost

Can it be changed back to 72 hours ? its very late in the game and the pace is to fast.

reset

[Evilhomer]

Can we have another 24 hours on this clock. In part I have plenty to do and recently I have not been able to connect at all.

[LoloMo]

Ok, I'll have to be the one requesting for an extension this time. My video card conked out on me, and somehow, it corrupted my windows and some of my files. I rushed my comp to the shop and bought another video card, but I'm kinda too pooped right now to redo the 3 hour turn needed for this game.

Whats the status with this game? I just checked the scores.htm file and it looks like Evilhomer has won as he controls 202 provinces. Did the game recognize the win?
