You're right. One blade. 3 points of damage. 10 points of morale, still. Question is, where's my mage now? Not in my capital.

"omg it broke my nail! FLEE!!!"

[Cor2]

If a twice born enchanted commander dies while retreating, Twice born does not work IIRC.

[Szumo]

Most important thing is Twiceborn works only in your dominion.

[Janlm]

the fight didn't go exactly as i had planned, but i can't complaint, it was a good turn for me...

On another note, Vanheim has staled 6 times now, two turns in a row this time. Are you still with us Vanheim??

[PAR]

hello Arcosephale here

due to good relations with all my other neigbors i am afraid my only route for expanson is north

so to war with ctis it is then friend

[Hadrian_II]

If vanheim stales a 3rd time in a row, i will have to set him to ai.

[Burnsaber]

Can anyone send me Worthy Heroes 1.7? (not 1.7 a/b). I "cleaned" my mod file a bit and now I'm unable to do my turns, since this game apparently uses the old version.

[Hadrian_II]

On page six of this thread, i have it attached to a post of mine.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Well, of course. But thanks to previous work of my high priests and Lizard Kings, I still had 3 dominion, despite lands further in having less.

It's just that cowardly snake running away. If he'd stuck to script, nothing would have touched him. Still had ten morale, as well. So, now my best Sauromancer is lost to the abyss. You'd think that if you had a second out... but no, I got the lizard with the courage of a filthy mammal.

It's the retreat that killed him. I did have a spare territory for him to move to, but apparently, the order of the battles left him nowhere to run to. That's what's so painful... Not only did he run, but in a way negating my twiceborn and my plans... Well, at least my chariots managed something.

Currently, duke_commando is winning the race for most entertaining comment. He's ranked first on the hidden 'humor' page of the score graph.

[duke_commando]

if only humor = lots of astral gems, cause I think i'll be needing a ton of them.
I get the feeling Agarthas gonna be turning the sun off real soon, considering that hes like completely beating the [censored] out of all of us in the research race...
and gems too, except for yomi

[Valandil]

and, uh, every other race as well...

[Szumo]

You mean me casting Utterdark? I think you overestimate my research progress http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Papastoss]

My apologies for stalling. I was headed out for a trip and I thought I was bringing my laptop which has Dom3 on it so I could play my turns but at the last second I didn't bring it and I didn't have the time to get a sub.

Sorry about that.

[duke_commando]

damn, what a showdown at Caelum's capital

Sauromatia salutes the brave warriors who fell in the battles of Rocknest Forest.

[Hadrian_II]

What a lame stunt to attack my army with a scout to stop it.

[duke_commando]

i just did that to see your army...you can't stop an army with scouts as far as I know, since movement in friendly territory occurs before attacks. Thats why I attacked both the provinces on our border, since I wasn't sure where you were going to go.

Edit:
Actually i guess I didn't know the movement rules as well as I thought. I thought you had to be adjacent to an enemy province to attack it, since I've never been able to attack otherwise, but apparently if you've got a move 3 commander it becomes possible, even if your troops are move 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
So, sorry about blocking your army...i agree that it's pretty cheap, but that wasn't my intention.

incidentally, does teleporting/gating/faerie trod/whatever
onto an enemy army stop it as well?

[Hadrian_II]

I think movement has some random elements to it, but a battle even with a scout can be able to stop the other army.

[duke_commando]

yeah, I didn't know you could attack from 2 provinces away.

[Valandil]

Wow. I have a ringside seat for a monstrous clash between various monsters who could probably level atlantis on their own. If they avoided the petrifies, that is.

Caelum was a pretty neat battle, indeed.

[Cor2]

Nope, spells come in a diffrent turn phase, before army movement.

Very intertaining indeed. The Eagle kings enjoyed it greatly, and they got a little action in as well.

I hope this serves as a warning to anyone thinking of trying to take Caelums capitol. Its not as easy as it seems. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/firedevil.gif

Long live Rocknest Forest! Long live Caelum!

All Agartha misses the twin golems. Who could have expected they would get so tired from casting spells they'd die to Yomi's army instead of demolishing it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I must say, casting spells was the last thing i expected them to do...

Well, the three rules for building subercomabanants:

fatique, fatique and fatique.

Thanks for the free artifacts! I'll put them to good use http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif.

[Valandil]

Erm... Shouldn't that be "fatigue"

[duke_commando]

If there ever was a pyrrhic victory...
by the end it was down to archers holding the line against Kailasa, having run out of arrows.

I kinda screwed up with the distances, my cataphracts moved up too fast so only one mage fired shadowblast like he was supposed to. Also the archers and the ethereal xbow man were too far back to shoot that arrowfend casting kinnara http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

I did manage to capture a monkey archer though...unfortunately he is blind. :-p
that right there sums up the effect of the battle for me.

[Cor2]

Captured a blind archer. that is irony for you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Hadrian_II]

Just feel lucky that i forgot to change the script on my Yaksha i prophetized, so the divine bless came on turn 7, if my troops would have been blessed on turn one as i intended, i would have defeated your army easily. (It just sucks to loose a game by such an stupid error)

[duke_commando]

Ah, that sure woulda changed things.
Those sacreds of yours are insane.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Need turn postponed till noon tomorrow, local time. Or rather, 16:00 GMT Friday.

[Hadrian_II]

ok, i have posphoned the hosting, if someone is not happy about it, i will change it back.

[Valandil]

I should emphasise that Atlantis has less than one hundred men in its entire army. We will be very happpy if we are not the first to be eliminated. Also, I have just realized I researched a level of blood magic.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Thank you, Hadrian. Couple of exhausting days- though I can finally rest now.

[Szumo]

The magic shop has opened! Need something forged? Call 1-800-AGARTHA with your order and you'll be amazed at our prices http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Janlm]

what can you forge?

[Valandil]

At least, he can forge earth artifacts, has hmmers, and has the forge up. I would also bet on astral, and probably death.

[Szumo]

So when do we patch to 3.10? Velusion's server is going to be upgraded on Wednesday, would be nice of llamabeast did the same around that time too so we don't have to keep two dominions versions around http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Valandil]

AARGH. I may need to stale randomly or find a sub or something, since my computer is being psychotic at the moment. For instance, I recieved not one, not two, but Seven Hundred and Thirty Three "A new patch is available" emals from the llamaserver. I'm not confident that my backup of dominions worked, so I might have to reinstall and patch up to 3.08.

[Janlm]

everybody received that many emails from llamaserver... it was an error on the server, nothing to worry about. And i'm pretty certain you will need 3.10 now

[Burnsaber]

I'll be gone for the weekend (from 12th day to 15th). Any chance to delay the hosting while I'm gone?

[Valandil]

I might be okay, then...

[Szumo]

Agartha is willing to sell Dwarven Hammers to those nations unfortunate enough not to have them yet. We accept payment in earth, astral, death gems (perhaps even other). Send me a message if you're interested.

[Valandil]

Who killed the forge?

[Szumo]

I don't know who dispelled the forge, dispel is anonymous. I have my suspicions though. Offer for the hammers is still on though, I've spares http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, let's gossip. I'm hungry for news from other parts of the world, but I'll share a few things myself too.

War with the Yomi is in the full swing. I've repelled his raiders and started counter offensive, my thugs flying over his provinces and striking vulnerable points, with one of the armies getting as far as his capital (which is not particularly deep into his territory from my direction, though). The siege is on, but as his pretender and 2 Dai Onis, full magic gear and nasty army killing spells scripted - which i found by casting Call of the Winds at them, fortunately wasting most of their gem supplies last turn - are just one province away. Meanwhile though, with 2 other castles besieged by scouts with death wish, Yomi's recruiting ability is very limited, for a short while at least. A few provinces away a successful raid by 2 bane lords managed to capture province with 6 enchantress and slaughter the witches, as I'm sure most of you will hear with pleasure.

Mine and Yomi struggle has let Caelum catch the second breath. Now, with his capital free and provinces around being succesively liberated from Yomi grasp, while he's still in a weak position, there is a slight hope of recovery. Of course, such a recovery would require a diplomatic effort with winner of Agartha-Yomi war, and basing on my previous experience of Caelum diplomatic skill and attitude, seems quite unlikely.

A little beyond my eastern border Abyssia is continuing it's successful campaign against C'tis. It seems C'tis tried to eat something it can't swallow, specially now that rumors of Arcoscephale joining the fray come. Will they negotiate?
Perhaps other Arco or Abyssia neighbours will smell the opportunity for a back stab? Or will C'tis be destroyed whole, and if it happens so, will Abyssia and Arco start to fight each other over the lizards corpse as Agartha and Yomi did over bird one?

As the last piece of news, situation underwater still seems to be peaceful. R'lyeh and Atlantis have split the seas between themselves (though Atlantis has some holdings on the land too, i don't know whether R'lyeh does too). We ourselves have wondered for a while when this unnatural peace would end, but it seems both nations are too afraid to dare try to conquer all the seas. Or perhaps the frogs and the squids plotting together in collusion against all the land dwellers? We would welcome reports from other that support or rebut this theory.

That concludes the info from the north, let's hope others are willing to gossip too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

EDIT: typos

[duke_commando]

In the southweast Sauromatia is engaged in a neverending war against the Kailasa and its foul otherworldly creatures...naked men who fight with the strength of 100 amazons, protected by enchantment, and surrounded by an aura so bright that our soldiers shy from striking them. Also some of them have decided to wear armor, and not just any armor but platemail. We have won both major battles, though the second only because of a communication error between their prophet and god which left their troops unblessed. We must also admit that we also made a grave mistake regarding the fatigue cost of sabbath master, leading to only one of four mages casting shadow blast.
Since every one of their troops is worth about 100 of ours, we suffer huge casualties, with the result that we are unable to press the attack, which means they pull more summons out of their asses. Also since they are summons, hurting their income doesn't do much, if any, damage. The end result being this war lasting forever.

[Hadrian_II]

Kailasian troops where able to resist vicious attacks from sauromantian savages now since 2 years. There where times when it looked really bleak but now it is looking a bit brighter.
Also we have to inform all the other nations, that now would be the ideal time to strike sauromantia as they have commited their main army in the very south.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

On the diplomatic front:

As Ctis, the lack of scouts have dramatically limited my ability for diplomatic manuevering. I've only met 3 nations, two of which are conquering me. And I hear Agartha is quite busy right now. I'm not adverse to bribing someone to ally and take on either Abysia or Arcosephale. Despite the territorial encroachment, I still have a bit to offer- most of my casualties fall under the category of gold.

I've been avoiding engagement successfully for quite a while now while spamming leprosy with eyes of the void and spell foci penetration items- I think I took out about 1/3 of Arco's besieging forces. As an aside, did you know that Leprosy doesn't affect friendly forces- at least besieged ones.

I've pretty much brought Abysia's advance to a halt by virtue of fortress and city guards, but I can't keep that up for much longer, especially with a two front war. My gold income has just about dried up. However, since Leprosy had its chance to work and my research is nearing completion, I'm no longer content to sit back.

[Cor2]

Caelum's eagle kings soar free once again. We are surounded by a raging war between two great powers , both of which tried to destroy us. We gain great satisfaction in knowing it was us who sparked the war between them.

However we must choose sides if we wish to rise to glory.

[PAR]

hi ctis

that Leprosy was naughty but we shall return but better equipt

cheers arco

[Valandil]

atlantis, shackled by NAPs, is unable to do anything but hoard gems, research, and forge items. We prophecy our own demise.

[Cor2]

the tears of the Caeleian people will over flow the sea allowing atlantis to conqure us all.

That is my current plan.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Is there no-one I can buy off or bribe for help with six Clams of Pearls?

If I can't pay for interference or one side backing off, there's little I can do but be a pain in the *** to finally kill.

[Cor2]

I would help for that, Unfortunatly it would just be sending hurricanes.

[Valandil]

Hmm... Thanks for the swords!

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I'm sorry, I have to retire. Work is a horrible pain in the *** right now- coming in early 3 days now. Diplomatic energy, will to survive drained. Time isn't the issue... energy is. I had planned to fight this to the bitter end, but I've got to conserve my last scraps of 'give a damn' to keep myself going to work and to keep myself from telling my coworkers to go [censored] off when they repeatedly pester me to do something about ... ... something I've repeatedly said I can do nothing about. If not speaking Spanish is causing problems, then take some lessons- don't bug my *** to ***** about it for the fiftieth time.

Normally, I would let a single stall occur, or ask for an extension. But since I'm in the middle of intense negotiations, that just would not be fair to any of the parties involved.

My Play by play for this game isn't complete, but when the game finishes for everyone, I'll upload my text file along with all my saved games, to allow other players to draw their own conclusions and possibly learn from my mistakes.

[Cor2]

Work sucks, no one should have to work.

[duke_commando]

for sure.

Farewell, lizards. We are sad to see you go, even if you only have one head each.

[Hadrian_II]

Kailasa is death, Sauromantia has defeated us.

You were one tough opponent, this war seemed to drag on and on.

Something just came up and I need to leave town early Sunday morning. (Eastern standard)I won't get home until Thursday night. I'm going to seek a sub for this and my other games, but it's a long shot. Would anyone mind pausing hosting on this game if I can't get a replacement?

Since Llammabeast is offline for a week, could someone pass on my request to him via Email? I don't have his addy but I know that some people on here do.

Can anyone here sub in my other games? I'm in Evermore as MA C'Tis, and Dawn of War as Jotunheim. These are both network games.

There's a CHANCE that I will have web access where I'm going, but I won't know till Sunday afternoon. I'll be transferring my games to the laptop, in case I can do my turns there.

[Hadrian_II]

I could posphone the game for 100 hours, but as this is a very long time, everyone will have to agree on it. (this obviously only works, when llamaserver is working right)

[Ubercat]

Thanks. Llammabeast says to Email him on the server, rather than PM'ing. Does anyone know if he left his addy anywhere so we could do that?

[Ubercat]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

[Ubercat]

Yeah, I think that delaying the game for 100 hours will be good. No one appears to have objected so far. I'm about to send in the turn that just processed. If you could wait as close as possible to the next turn process to start the delay, that may give me more time to get back before losing an extra turn.

[Burnsaber]

The vile and greedy fatties of the underworld have come and claimed most of our lands under their rule of misery. They came and were victorious only to see the scope of the Oni's endless spite.

Our wisest sages foresaw our defeat, but we were not despaired. For they looked deeper into the future and saw that in time shall rise nation of Shinuyama and how they'll find way to call us back from the Land Beyond Death. They saw our inevitable return to the mortal world! Immortal as we are, we have closed the gates the world of Onis and retreated there to wait for the rise of Shinuyama. We will feast then..

The Sages also saw the pitiful future of the Agarthans. Sulking in their damp caves, doomed to extinction as they're too fat to reproduce themselves. The last Pale One will die old and alone, surrounded by some wimpy humans, while the mockering laugh of the Immortal Oni's rings in his ear even from the Land Beyond Death.

You have the lands of Yomi, but do you have? Pillaged and vanquished wasteland populated with few hateful and Oni-possessed peasants. Where labratories once stood, one can only find a huge crater nowdays. The great fortressess of Yomi have been taken apart by their order.. wait.. Can you hear that?

*GRUUUMBLE*

What's that sound?

Oh, it's just stomachs of the Pale Ones as they gaze upon our lands and find nothing to satisfy their hunger. We already ate all the babies you know.

Neighbours of Agartha, be prepared! He'll soon take his gaze upon your lands to satisfy their greed, unfilled by the pillaged lands of Yomi.

[Valandil]

Well, I have squished several hundred Rylehians, and victory will... wait... what. Retreat you say? We just signed a peace treaty with them? Are you mad, sir?
Wasn't it the peace treaties that destroyed us before? Aren't we sieging the very walls of ryleh itself?
Fine. Fine. I'll retreat.

Well, vile slugs, have it your way. Which land nation should we zap with... uh.. earth attacks?

[Ubercat]

Actually ..... I've already sent in my latest turn. You could let it process at the normal time and THEN delay it for the 100 hours. That would let everyone see another turn this weekend AND decrease the odds of me missing a turn. Thanks!

-Ubercat

[Hadrian_II]

I delayed the hosting for 100 hours now.

[Cor2]

I am dead. Good luck stopping Argathia.

[Ubercat]

I'm back! Thank you so much, guys, for your understanding. I have two turn files here, 53 and 56. I read the Email, and I'm assuming that I should run the turn 56, but I was just checking here to make sure. I'll go ahead and do that. The worst that can happen is I have to resubmit, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

So now that i am dead you can tell me all your secrects.

Agartha would like to purchase nature gems. We can pay in research items (Lighless Lanterns, Skull Mentors) or other gems. Send me a pm if you're interested.

We're giving away Lightless Lanterns for 3 nature gems each, and Skull Mentors for 6! First come, first served!

[Valandil]

Well, I have 224 nature gems and no nature mages... but the entire wourld should attempt to EAT the Agarthans! We shall never trade with the fould fiends! Never!

In other news, I have canceled my NAP with Agartha, mostly because I don't like caves. Tsar Ivan the rather-too-amicable is no longer leading my nation, since he died in righteous battle with about sixty mages (doh! forgot antimagic! doh!)

[Szumo]

How disappointing. You show mercy to a smelly frog nation, then they want to war with you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

He regenerated faster than your army damaged him, and your troops got lots of damage from plague spread by Woundflame which made them rout.

[Sir_Dr_D]

I vote that it is time to call this game quits. There is no stopping Agartha now. With all its research done there will be nothing for its mages to do except continuously create umbrals, and they have a higher gem income then everyone else put together.

I'm learning a lot about endgame myself, though (on a normal scale, not crazy one like in Perpetuality).

dammit...I must've misclicked so the remnants of my army didn't move and promptly got owned again. Most of them were diseased anyway though.
Agartha will probably eat me pretty quick, but I'll keep going until that happens.

[Szumo]

That Tartarian teleported on top of your army, and magic battles happen before movement, so you couldn't move away before battle.

Sounds good to me except that I need to leave town from the 2nd to the the 3rd. So maybe extending quickhost till the 3rd?

-Ubercat

[llamabeast]

Okay, I'll do that. Would someone like to volunteer to be the new admin since HadrianII has been eliminated?

[Ubercat]

It's looking like people are giving up on this game. That's sad in a way because I was just getting into it. I'm confident that, given time, I could defeat Arco and wouldn't mind getting into it with Agartha down the road.

My long war with Vanheim held me back for some time, but Arco gave me plenty of time to prepare after giving me notice. We were both spending time building up, but I think it benefitted me more. He would have been better off making a beeline for my heartland after the three turns notice, but he made a leisurely, methodical advance instead. My endless imps are just more than he can deal with and they've crushed 2-3 of his armies so far with slim losses for me.

The reason I'm saying all this is because I have to leave town for a couple weeks, starting Monday morning (eastern US). It's not fair to ask a sub to take over in these circumstances, so I'll be going AI soon. It's too bad people are giving up, but since I have to leave anyway, I guess it's irrelevant. Anyhow, NAP partners, be aware that I'm out soon. I have no significant forces near anyone but Arco, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

-Ubercat

[Szumo]

Well, if you're out, i don't think there's any more sense in playing this game. Sauromatia hasn't really offered any resistance so far, and i doubt he can offer any significiant in the future.

So, do we end, do we come back to 48h hosting, or what?
Tbh, i wouldn't mind if you 3 ganged up on me now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Ubercat]

My plans fell through so I'm back home for now. If there's a big hue and cry to continue, I'd be happy to come back and continue the war with Arco and/or Agartha.

I'd love to pit my main army against Agarthas, even if it's just to see how we match up. It's not too late to redo my turn and unAI myself. Perhaps just the two of us could march our armies together and fight one titanic battle?

-Ubercat

[llamabeast]

Yo guys, will one of you be admin? I will set the game back to 72 hours/give one of you the password ASAP, although I'm using a friend's laptop at the moment so it's very hard work to do anything at all.

You can send the password to me.

Cool, will do.
