[Warhammer]

When do you plan on having this filled?

[MAJ_Disgrace]

I would like to play as Marignon if they're available for the age you're playing. If not, I would like Ulm.

[Tequilich]

Mictlan for me!

[Fal]

Tir na n'Og for me please.

[Tequilich]

I am uploaded and ready to rule.

[Stryke11]

Ermor, please.

[Hullu]

Uploaded pretender.

A weird one I might add, remains to be seen how it works for anything:/

[Stryke11]

Pretender will be up after work today. Thanks!

[Snacktime]

You still considering new players? If so I'll take Abyssia.

[Cooron]

Yes, you still have time.

I will start the game when i get from work tomorrow (if everyone here has uploaded by then). So if you manage to upload before that your more than welcome to join.

[Fal]

I can upload tomorrow evening (london time)

So the starting provinces are randomly assigned by AI? I played Aran a few times, and my capital was sometimes allocated in very bad starting position.

[RamsHead]

Since I am almost out in Perpetuality, I signed up as Oceania here. Hope that is OK.

If someone ends up in the islands we will restart.
If that does happen then please let us know asap. so we can get the game going. If you end up in the map corner then thats just bad luck but not really a game stopper.

[Cooron]

Fal did you switch to Helheim?

Tir na n'Og missing but someone took Helheim.

[Sensori]

Do you still have space? I might wanna try out Atlantis, just to make some competition underwater!

[Jazzepi]

I'd like to play Niefelheim if you have room for another.

Jazzepi

[Cooron]

Sure.

Waiting to see if everyone is ready so just upload. Starting when i figure out whos Helheim.

[Jazzepi]

I'm going to need until the afternoon. I have to get to my college classes now.

Nope I didn't switch. Guess someone else took it without posting.

heh I had so much fun with Tir na n'Og in the other game I decided to try out a new strategy here.

[Tequilich]

This is going to be one crowded map. But should be fun.

[Stryke11]

I'm gonna end up right by Neifelheim or Helheim and get put out by a double bless within ten turns again. I'll admit, I was a bit more comfortable before those two nations signed on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Fal]

Tir na nOg uploaded.

[Stryke11]

I haven't played TnO, but I've played Eriu, and Bean Sidhes, which are also in TnO I think, are excellent.

[Cooron]

Game starting, Turn 1.
Good luck everyone.

[Sensori]

So we're waiting for Ulm, huh. It's turn 1 maaan, can't be that hard!

[Sensori]

Happy days, Atlantis and Oceania are at war already (we're too close to each other for any kind of peaceful co-existence).

Who will win? Who will lose?

This, and more, will be told in the next episode of... HAPPY DAYS

[Tequilich]

Helheim missed his turn already...

[Cooron]

Helheim is our mystery guest it seems. No word from him in this thread and nobody seems to know who he is. He also has password protected pretender so i cant turn him AI (since master password is disabled). Unless he lets us know that hes going to be playing ill just have to force host hes turns. :/

I kind of knew this was coming when he didnt report anything at the beginning.

Oh well.. Theres practically a free fort waiting for whoever finds the Helheims capital first.

[Fal]

What's the indy strength? I've been trapped in my capital from turn 1 by 80+ barbarians and a few elephants + 50 slingers. Well, onto the 50 lizardmen I guess http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif


Must....expand....

[Cooron]

Indys at default. Bad luck i guess?

Lamia Queen and barbarians around my capital.

[Fal]

Damn those Elephants! they crushed my entire army!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

[Stryke11]

I will be unable to play from Friday night to Sunday night California time (PST). I'm ok with missing a turn but if the timing happens just so that I need to miss two please don't set my nation to AI. I will be coming back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks!

[Cooron]

No problem, im force hosting because of Helheim anyway.
Just let us know when you get back.

[Cooron]

DynDNS temporarily down, use 85.77.57.219

[Stryke11]

Back. Thanks to all who didn't attack me during my stale turn. I seem to be surrounded by more powerful nations with no more independent provinces to conquer. It appears mighty Neifelheim to the north and mighty Abysia to the south may soon come to blows with little Ermor in the middle. Giants are strong, but my forces to the south saw a terrifying red dragon rampaging through neutral territories. The legions are at the ready and are adopting defensive positions.

[Fal]

aha double blessing giants, how expected...I hope these things will be banned in Dom4...

Looks like I might be the first one out of the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Jazzepi]

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

This is a terrible map, and you got the worst starting position, if it makes you feel any better.

Jazzepi

[Fal]

Oh was that you? lol you got your revenge in this game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Sensori]

And Jazzepi (Niefelheim) shows his true colors. I'm already small and survived only because of a very crippling agreement with Oceania, and then this bastard goes off breaking the NAP we had by attacking me! FOr a goddamn province that had LESS THAN A THOUSAND PEOPLE in it! Assholism at its finest, I must say.

Mental note: Don't trust Jazzepi to keep NAPs, unless you're as strong or stronger than him.

[Jazzepi]

Server is down.

[Stryke11]

*Deleted* Thanks Tequilich!

[Tequilich]

I think u posted in the wrong thread bro. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Stryke11]

Oh wow...

Well, it would have been really funny had the comments applied to this game as well.

Thanks for the heads up Tequilich. Deleted.

[Sensori]

Niefelheim let me retake the province he and apologized for the mistake. So, no harm done, after all, he just made the wrong judgment call of thinking that I was dead (which I thought I was just a few turns earlier, so it was an easy mistake to make). The situation I was (and still am) in was why I said what I said. The NAP is back in force, and all is well in (the NW part of) the world.

[Tequilich]

Mermen taste like chicken!

[Snacktime]

Is the server down?

[Jazzepi]

No, but you must use the IP address listed in the first post instead of the URL.

Jazzepi

[Stryke11]

I won't be able to play my turn until much later, as I'm at work and last night couldn't connect (and the note to try the ip wasn't up yet), so you're welcome to force the turn if everyone else is waiting.

[Cooron]

dyndns up again. Most likely will be down again in a week or so. Im just too lazy to actually set it to update automatically http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Stryke11]

Having trouble connecting, both with IP and dy.fi.

Stats website down, too.

Lanka's working me, though, so it really doesn't matter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Those demon thingies are impossible for any Ermor troop to take out. There must be some magic I don't have. Banishment, even with a ton of Flamen going at it, is underwhelming, to say the least.

[Stryke11]

Well, after missing a few turns due to some spotty connections, I have been basically defeated by Lanka and their super demon ogres. I have set my nation to computer controlled, with only my capital still remaining to me.

It's been fun playing with you all! Good luck!

[Snacktime]

Cooron - sending you a PM. -Abysia

[Sensori]

I'm gonna be away between Friday and Sunday, so if a turn is gonna happen between that time which I haven't done and I might be staling, could the turn be postponed, puhleeze?

[Sensori]

Well, I'm back, staled once but since I'm a small fish in the pond I doubt it did any damage.

[Snacktime]

Good game all! Niefelheim smoked me utterly. I don't know what kills those guys frankly. Good job Jazzepi!

[Cooron]

Are you still going to play Abysia or going AI?

[Snacktime]

I went AI. He killed my pretender and entire army. I'd basically just be moving around stray units at this point.

I might add that I killed like 2 of his giants. It was a complete annihilation.

[RamsHead]

I have set myself AI. Normally I like playing to the bitter end, but there is simply not much I could do at this point.

[Sensori]

I have also set myself AI. And as much as I like normally playing to the bitter end as well... There's just no point.

Should've picked some land nation to have a more level playing field.

[Jazzepi]

Well, that's the end of it. I beat down the AI for some laughs. All hail your E9W9N6 crone overlord!

Good game.
