Hello:

This game is on the map I finished recently, called �Bering�. It is a map for 7 players (2 water, 5 land). The map has preset starting positions that are randomly assigned. You can find the map here: Bering map thread (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=621496&page=0&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)

The settings are as follows:

Play by email (not a server game)
Era: Early
Map: Bering
Mods: Conceptual Balance (Full)
Indies: 7
Research: Default
Victory condition: There will be 7 victory point provinces (one in each capital). The player who controls 4 out of 7 will be the winner.
Graphs: on
Gold/Resources: default
Renaming on
HOF: 15
Turn hosting schedule: Turns 1 - 15, Daily; Turn 16 - End, 3/week on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (deadline at 9 pm Boston time).
Number of players: 7 (2 water, 5 land)

Players:

1. Pashadawg: Agartha
2. djo: Lanka
3. Aezeal: Niefelhiem
4. Charshep: Atlantis
5. GrungeBringer: Sauro
6. named: R'lyeh
7. DryaUnda: Hinnom

Jolly note: I think it is very fun when players spice things up with role playing. Trash talk, witty banter, yarnspinning and crazy choices are encouraged. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks.

Pasha

Niefel plz

as usually I'd like to go for 15 hof spots (I'd love so much more)

PS the hosting will be quickhost I hope so if pplz are fast the game is faster too ?

PashaDawg
July 18th, 2008, 10:04 PM
Hi Aezeal:

15 HOF spots would work.

The game would not be quickhosted. I host by hand the old fashioned way (with an automator script). So, pretty much the hostings will be in the evening when turns are due. Although sometimes on the weekend, etc., we can squeeze out a few extra turns if folks are eager beavers.

Nice map! Any room for a n00b? I've played a handful of SP games and was involved in an MP game for a few months before the servers went down. I played Atlantis in that one. It seemed like a challenging nation to play but I'd like to try them again.

I'd like Sauro if you have room if its CBM....I'm a real NOOB tho so if you feel that I am outclassed i won't take offense

PashaDawg

You're certainly welcome to play, Charshep. Maybe another noob can play the other water slot, so you won't be an obvious target. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Great. Welcome, namad.

One slot left. It would be good if we could get one more player with a bit more experience to balance things out a bit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

July 18th, 2008, 11:37 PM
Great! Two quick questions. Do I need the mod installed on my box or does only the host need it? Also, when do you want our pretenders by?

PashaDawg
July 18th, 2008, 11:44 PM
Good questions, Charshep.

You need to have the complete mod enabled when you create your pretender. That is essential, or else we'll need to restart.

The game is filling up very fast! So, maybe we'll start this Sunday night? We'll see. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

PashaDawg
July 19th, 2008, 12:30 AM
Welcome Foodstamp.

Sorry DryaUnda. Foodstamp elbowed his way in. I'll keep you in mind in case someone drops out before we get started.

The mod is here: CB Mod Thread (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=624209&page=0&view=collap sed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)

PashaDawg
July 19th, 2008, 12:40 AM
Okay. Now that we have a full roster, I'd ask that each player send me a PM with his/her email address (unless you know I already have it). I will then send you mine.

Once you have my email, you can send me your pretender file. It will be a .2h file in your newlords folder. I will send further instructions via email, etc.

Thanks.

well thanks for pointing that out.. I'll be sure to send a Jotun scout to the swamps to let them know where the Hydra's should go to http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Let's be honest.. all those races are strong early game but Hinnom and Lanka have a much stronger end game.. if you live to mid game then it'll be between those 2 races.

Anyway Hinnom is just a bunch of newbie giants, an impurity of the race and should be destroyed.. and I don't care much for Demons either despoilers of the world, just not natural, a lot of them are to big too.. more fake giants.

Vote Aezeal of the Niefel party for GOD-election: for 1 race of giants to rule the lesser humanoid races.

You youngsters...I'm running Dominions 3 on a hand-built Babbage machine made of recycled toothpicks and bottle caps. It takes me three hours just to input the turn, never mind play it. I transmit my orders back to Pasha over a disused telegraph line. The dots and dashes hit the only Atari 800 connected to the Internet. It runs a ping server that forwards the dots and dashes to Pasha, who is kind enough to run an sh script (not tcsh, not bash, nothing fancy like that) which makes the final translation back to a .2h file.

I hope to upgrade next year to an awk script (if I can get awk to compile on my Babbage machine; I'm spending my vacation on it).

So all in all, I'm comfortable staying with the initially advertised and agreed-upon pace.

by babbage do you mean the old video game and computer parts store babbages? i remember buying a 2meg's of ram upgrade there when i was a kid heh

djo
July 27th, 2008, 08:02 PM
The old computer store "Babbage's" was named after Charles Babbage, a 19th century Englishman who designed/invented mechanical calculation devices that were the forerunners of today's computers. They were meant to do things like calculate tables of logarithms and other tables of data important for engineering and ship navigation. You couldn't actually "program" them (the "program" they ran was determined by how they were put together), but they were revolutionary computation devices for their time.

So I was joking that I was running Dominions on a very old and slow mechanical machine. (On the other hand, some people build them as hobbies today!)

Aezeal
August 23rd, 2008, 09:41 PM
ouch this has GOT to hurt

On the right side: 5 Niefel Jarls with their subjects 30ish Niefel Giants, also backup with a Jotun scout/prophet and a priest (lvl2). The brave giants have also enlisted the fabled archer in white led by a pegasus rider in their army.

On the other side, the armies of darkness and demons.

About 25 PD in fodder as a screen in front of and between the demons, all misled markata's wanting to give their lives for the false god. Then some 50ish evil demons and half a dozen evil mages and their evil summons, 3 HUGE lumber constructs and several vile clockwork horrors.

The battle starts and right away the mercs move a bit to the front, not able to stay still as commanded. The giants, clinging to tactics stay behind their bravest leaders while the prophet blesses the entire army.. blessed giants, what can stop them.

But then the false prophet also blesses the already fearsome demon, they now seem very speedy, able to block every attack AND with improved stamina. A dark moment for the forces of good.

The next turns all the priests of good banish, doing some damage on the demons also destroying the undead summoned by the evil mages.

While the brave Jarls defend their kin with banishments the evil army advances, waves upon waves of the crazed, fanatic and in the end completely stupid markata advance towards the banishing Jarls. The Jarls are to busy banishing the demons and probably haven't even SEEN the stupid critters so their troops, the now blessed niefel giants advance to intercept the markata horde. While the markata are being slaughtered the Demons also advance behind this wall of small bodies. They overwhelm the leader of the mercenaries and kill some of the archers who then cowardly flee. After the Markata's have been vanquished (the giants all with tears in their eyes for they know the silly little monkeys do not know how they where misled, and now they face a useless death, not doing a single point of damage.) the real battle begins. The demons try to swarm the giants from the sides (in the centre the last of the dying markata fall on a huge pile of small dead bodies.) On the right flank the battle is especially brutal for there the clockwork horrors swipe their razorsharp talons at the frostgiants. The most combative of the Jarls move to help their kin while the other half keeps on banishing and doing major damage along with the priest and the prophet. A cleansing chime of a bell is heard from time to time and when heard some demons suddenly stop existing. The battle is fierce but in the end the giants have the longest breath, the cold is getting to the demons and one after another they fall before the huge and powerfull blows of the famed Jotunlongswords. The last of the demons fall before the holy giants of Jotun and the demon leaders flee the field running in panic while the valliant giants pursue.

A glorious day for the forces of good, but the giants also have losses. 3 of their comerades lie dead on the field. A huge cairn is erected and the giants are surrounded by the blades of fallen enemies. HUge numbers of demon falchions are put into the ground around the bodies inside the cairn. The prophet blesses the cairn so the fallen in this already epic battle will not be forgotten. May they rest in peace while the demons find a new hell to be tormented in by even greater evils.

What canI say.. to say I'm sorry I'm ridding the world of the plague of your false prophet and it's demonic blooddrinking followers would be a lie... so I guess... DIE DIE DIE would be more fitting :D

I wonder about one thing though.. my report says your 7 commanders n mages didn't die but afaik they can't retreat to the castle... are they gone or do you still have them?

Nasty thingabout giants is that while they should rockat sieges it actually takes a hell of a long time cus there are so few... I guess you'll be summoning more lumber constructs and mechanical men.

Another thing.. did you actually patrol with the whole army all those turns I've been hanging around the capitol? (I though I was smart taking a few provs but not all I thaught you'd think I'd take those last 2 before taking the capitol)

Aezeal
August 24th, 2008, 11:11 AM
PS demons and undead are pretty much screwed now you can mass produce cleaning bells and get 2 of themon commanders :D for only 5 watergems they deliver VERY high damage to demons. Of course their use is very situational but i think I'll mention in the cbm thread that 10 gems might be a better price.

I wonder about one thing though.. my report says your 7 commanders n mages didn't die but afaik they can't retreat to the castle... are they gone or do you still have them?

They are gone.

Nasty thingabout giants is that while they should rockat sieges it actually takes a hell of a long time cus there are so few... I guess you'll be summoning more lumber constructs and mechanical men.

Lanka isn't so bad. Some of the other monkey nations have the 700 defense "Crystal City" (or whatever it is). Try taking one of those down with nothing but normal human troops!


Another thing.. did you actually patrol with the whole army all those turns I've been hanging around the capitol? (I though I was smart taking a few provs but not all I thaught you'd think I'd take those last 2 before taking the capitol)

You did the right thing, in my opinion. I'm not going to give all my past plans away, but let's say that I was hoping to have the big battle while I still had a PD screen. Lot of good that did me!

you going AI? (your situation would be plenty of cause for that since I don't think you can do much the AI could also do. Of course I might completely not see some tricks up your sleeve but I'm thinking your last turns will be boring...)

djo

I must have a high tolerance for boredom, because I always drive my nations all the way into the ground. On the other hand, the turns get really quick to do.

Aezeal
August 25th, 2008, 11:24 AM
yeah but if you can't recruit and lost about half your mages... lol you really want to see 40 giants crush your beloved pretender (something female right)...

I'm thinking you are up to something... I'll order some more giants towards your castle just in case. More cleansing bells too :D

Nice one to take all those provinces with your scouts.. I doubt it'll last though. I'm pretty sure one of those provinces will have an insane PD when my Jarls knock at the door ... but I think that will only increase their kills and won't save your province :D

djo

Nice one to take all those provinces with your scouts..

djo
September 5th, 2008, 05:43 AM
I was referring to the universal trust among all monkeykind, that all living things ought to respect each other's sovereign boundaries. Too late I realized that the giants did not have fur, they were wearing furs. Alas, that oversight made all the difference.

The idea of a walking Ice Age calling some poor defenseless monkey-demons "dangerous" is, I trust, as clearly absurd to everyone else who may be next on the trampling list as it was to us.

namad if you can forge something for those gems (which I can't so they are useless to me) I might be willing to send you some.

what do you want.. deathgems and forging death magic are things I can do :D

and i can't forge really any earth items until i get earth boosters which i can't forge...

i mean come on... 2:1 is a good deal someone take it!


hell for a very small supply i might even do 3:1 just to get off at least one dark knowledge and pray i get lucky

if you are in his dominion troops can turn on their commander (and that troop + a devil then attack him)

My troops and a devil luckily have near 0 chance of killing a Jarl but it cost me a 150 gp giant this turn.

namad

is anyone interested in selling me a skull staff, or thistle mace, or earth boots, or perhaps other boosters? I have lots of earth gems and several gems of other types with which to pay? PM me a list of prices and boosters you can forge?

Aezeal
September 15th, 2008, 04:39 PM
I'm not interested in gems really just in things I can't make myself.. no reason to help you with magic diversity for only a few gems I can't really use..

if you dispell that global I'll give you whatever booster you want though :D

If you give me an air booster (the helmet) then you can get a booster from me.

PS I didn't say the spell couldn't hurt me, I said the troops couldn't kill the commander.. the commander still killed a 150 gp giant which is reason enough to want it gone.

No I will stay on, I leave at 4 am weds morning and will be back 11 PM Sunday night so If we can get a turn in today or tonight I will check and get it in before I head to the airport, otherwise I will just ride it out and be back Sunday.

Every other game is down to at least the 20th it looks like a s LLama is out of town and the server is messed up (at least thats what I hear) but we get ours direct from Pasha so maybe it will work out...

Did we have a NAP pasha? can't even remember talking to you that much, and certainly can't remember much replies..

but, if we had I still have the moral high ground since you already attacked me once with some loony lonely commander :D

Aezeal
October 15th, 2008, 04:05 AM
PS if I relly broke a NAP there is no reason for you to wait another 3 turns to attack me

It's war now, I attacked you and neither of us should pretend it didn't happen. Just retalliate if you want, I'm gonna press the attack either way.

namad
October 15th, 2008, 01:29 PM
why would you have broken the nap without warning to attack hinnom's capital? is it because now that your are so close to winning you consider all previous agreements void?



looking to trade away fire gems: either for useful items, or gems of a type i can use

Aezeal
October 15th, 2008, 01:55 PM
Well as I said, I can't remember a NAP but if he says there was one I'm not sure enough to say he's wrong.

Anyway I don't really figure why you'd think I'm winning.. sure I can't deny I have an advantage in some areas but you and him are teaming up and he has loads of troops and summons (I've seen his armies and I'm not happy to be fighting them) and you have loads of research.

in any case if I'd been 100% sure of winning I'd certainly not have broken a NAP (if I'd known there was one). But really I can't remember talking to pasha except through grudge when we planned the assault on Hinnom (only when we nearly clashed I talked with him directly)

And as I said... if there was a NAP he'd broken it already since my main army slaughtered a lone invading commander :D

PashaDawg
October 15th, 2008, 06:58 PM
Hello Aezeal:

I just forwarded the email correspondence between us agreeing to a NAP. Will you honor it?

I don't recall attacking you previously, except that it was agreed that I would take back a certain forest province. If there were any attacks by lone commanders, then they were purely and obviously accidental.

Pasha

Aezeal
October 16th, 2008, 08:54 AM
Yeah you did attack me about 4-5 turns ago but I must admit it wasn't anything I could possibly take serious :D

Well you'll need to delay the turn then so I can make changes, I'm not going to be home the next 30 hours.

I really wonder why you just don't go ahead and attack me back, you have plenty of troops on my border (which is why I'm attacking you in the first place) but if you insist on another 2 turns of peace then I'll honor that since I've got a few things coming to strengthen my position (which is why I really think giving me another 2 turns to get that all settled isn't in your advantage.. but I guess you want to have R'lyeh as back up or something)
