I joined as Pangea

[johnarryn]

We gonna start soon?

[Zachariah]

i wanna wait just a little longer

[carlosib]

Sorry Ramiro, as i saw noone had taken Ermor i thought maybe you had changed your mind. I'm taking Vanheim instead. The problem is i don't know how to leave Ermor free for you to take. Can anyone please give me a clue with that? I've already taken Vanheim.
Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Reverend Zombie]

[Ramiro]

don´t worry I will simply click on your selection of ermor and I am now in control of ermor you are free to choice other race !

good luck !

[Kojusoki]

Im in as Jotunheim:)

[Zachariah]

ok i kicked it off!

seeya on the battlefield...

[Kojusoki]

dont you think that at least at the very begining we should make a 24hrs host?

[johnarryn]

I was just thinking "Man, people havent even taken their first turn? Weak."

Not intended as an insult, I just assumed the game would move along quickly in the first few turns.

[Kojusoki]

exacly johnarryn - if somebody cannot spend 60-90 SECONDS for a turn at the beging of the game I think he is not interested. There are people fromm all over the world so 24hrs host should be on, but I used to play first 10 turns in the first day... And then 1 even 2 turns a day! With 6-8 players... With huge battles etc... SPEED UP PEOPLE!!!

[johnarryn]

This is silly... may I suggest our host begin to look for a replacement for Vanheim? If he stales more than one turn it will be harder for someone to salvage the position.

[Tequilich]

Wahoo turn 2!!!

[Herbacious]

There is no password for Vanheim, lets look for a replacement eh?

[carlosib]

Vanheim is still here
I was having difficulties getting the map file. I've just managed to download it and played turn #2. Sorry for the delay, i should have no more problems from now on.

[johnarryn]

Alrighty! Just waiting on Ermor and Atlantis for the next turn!

[Zachariah]

if atlantis doesn't take a turn again this round, i'm booting 'em

[Kojusoki]

so we have to wait next 23hrs to find it out....?
not fair i think:(

[Dragonninjaakira]

Sorry guys, end of school work is piling up plus I thought I had a full 2 days to take my turn, no more delays from Atlantis I promise.

[johnarryn]

Who's playing Caelum? Be nice to be able to do some out-of-game diplomacy.

[Kojusoki]

New patch has come - what is the situation on server? Is it already patched?

[Blofeld]

Can't connect to the server.

[Tequilich]

same here cant connect.

[Tequilich]

I also just wanted to say thanku to Zachariah for the hosting of all the games I am in.

[Zachariah]

sorry, server back w/ patch. and yer very welcome: i love this game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Kojusoki]

sorry for the delay

[Reverend Zombie]

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

[Zachariah]

possibly... can you try and hold off on taking your last turn till just before you leave, and send me an in-game message telling me when you'll return?

[Reverend Zombie]

Will do!

[cupido2]

Is someone willing to deal with those nasty Jotunheim giants? They keep attacking me and I slay them in the dozens but they won't stop. Help is appricated because it's annoying and a bit embarassing to see them constantly get a bloody head when dealing with my humble troops. Thank you.
T'ien Ch'i

[Blofeld]

Heh, I told you to ally with me against Jotun. Before I fell to combined might of Jotun, Ermor and Shinuyama, that is.
In other news, we are responsible for the humungous drop in Ermor army strength as the foul legions fell before the brave defenders of Pangea. 560 undead cavalry + 230 living troops, including numerous Pretorian guards were put to sword.
Pangea shall never be defeated!

[johnarryn]

Pangaea is doing an amazing job of sticking around despite persistent efforts to wipe him off the map... goddamn 7 white centaur raiders...

[Kojusoki]

Thanx for games - cupido2, dont be upset, Jotun has been already set to AI:)

[cupido2]

Aaaah, what a shame Kojusoki! I wished to see the last stand at Jotunheim in a couple of turns. Beware T'ien Ch'i the defeater of the Giants!

[Ramiro]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! No more driads......................................Weeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[johnarryn]

My game keeps freezing when I try to connect to MountedOpposition... is the server down, or is something else weird going on?

[Reverend Zombie]

Down for me, too.

[Catquiet]

Any enemy of Shinuyama who sees one of his temples unprotected by fortress or army, send me the province number and I'll drop some Ghost Riders on it.

Not that this would take down any of the temples in itself...

[Catquiet]

Ghost Riders can turn the province independent, doesn't that destroy the temple?

[johnarryn]

Yes, it does destroy the temple (as far as I know). I think Ich somehow got the impression that you were trying to gain control of the temples (rather than destroy them). I think you are trying to destroy them, though.

[lch]

EDIT: Sorry, forget what I said. You're right, it turns indy and the temple gets razed.

[Zachariah]

i had to AI Marignon because they were about to stall again.

[Zachariah]

Hourly updated scores now available at:
http://www.evilzombies.com/dom3/MountedOpposition.html

[johnarryn]

So, there are like 4 of us left in this one?

[johnarryn]

Server down?

[Catquiet]

Server is up now.

[johnarryn]

I cant connect... I really dont want to stale =(

[johnarryn]

Connected, but staled anyhow. My fault, need to pay more attention to the time limit.

[johnarryn]

Guys, im going to have to bow out of this game unfortunately. Im moving and won't have access to the internet for the next 10 days or so, and i've already fallen behind on my turns. If you can find a substitute that would be ideal.... sorry!

I'll try to check my account here, if someone wants to substitute let me know, I will message them with the situation.

[Catquiet]

Can we switch to QH with no timer till Shin gets a sub or Johnarryn gets internet access again?

[Ramiro]

no problem !, this week is very complicated for me and have very little free time, It could be an exelent idea if we frosen the game for a week.

[Zachariah]

this game is so close to ending, i really don't want to stall it at this point.

[Ramiro]

I dubt it will end soon... Any way is not point in play without siyurama, please put in game in stall for a week.

[Zachariah]

I'm going to put a 75 turn limit on this game, unless its really close.

[Ramiro]

well if the game end in 2 turns I concede the victory to Ryligh or shinurama, probably if I attack shin I could get enouth vp and resources to win but since I have an alliace with him and I never broke my word and I doubt I can kill rlight in 2 turns..... well I concede.

a question: are the games set with a predeterminded end turn ? I believe this game will end in natural way byturn 120 or about( has outriders a turn limit ?)

Good luck !

[Zachariah]

ok, looks like Ermor is the clear winner. I'll leave the final score file up for a while. Also, I'll be starting a new game on this same port shortly, so stay posted.
