-ssj

[RadioGibbon]

Alright then, thats it for signups, I'm setting the game up now. Will edit first post when its done.

[kianduatha]

I so botched this already; I realized somewhat belatedly that I should've made a Freak Lord and called him Master Blaster. Ah well...

[FAJ]

You can always re-upload pretenders. Untill the game has started, you can keep sending in new god files to replace the current.

[RadioGibbon]

If this isn't a game winning move right here then theirs no justice in the world.

[FAJ]

Is re-naming on?

Just curious.

[RadioGibbon]

yep, renamings on

[johnarryn]

just waiting on one more pretender, it seems.

[don_Pablo]

Just 2 notes.
1) 44 sea provinces for the only aquatic nation seem to be a good bonus.
2) non-preset starting positions means that a capital could have 3 or fewer of neighbouring provinces.
(I remember I started with 2 in Qwerty played on this map. )
So the start is rather unbalanced, imho.

[thunderbird]

Anyone near the great caves around 105, drop me a PM.

Well everyone knew what they were signing up for, and its too late to do anything about it now. Besides, by the time Atlantis has captured all those 44 sea provinces those poor saps who only get two adjacent starting provinces will have been rushed by those who had more, meaning several huge land empires will be in place to check Atlantis, so everything will come alright in the end.

[FAJ]

A lot of the water is unnconnected. The land nations will definitly have to try and keep the water nation in check by locking him in.

[johnarryn]

Jeez, turn 2 and already im getting hate =)

Yes, much of the water is unconnected, so not sure of the huge advantage. Also, its not like others couldnt have chosen water nations.

Not sure why anyone needs to be locking me in anyhow. But of course, my neighbors are free to attempt to deny me that, if theyd like constant coastal raiding...

[FAJ]

Like you wouldn't do some lovely coastal raiding anyways ;)


So, the game is underway...
Anyone unfortunate enough to end up with a 2-neighbor home province? :D

[Grijalva]

Wow, well I'm sorry to say this guys (I've never had luck so bad in this game before) but I'm afraid I am finished already:

A vampire count decided to be unfair and attack me on the first turn, my whole army and PD got wiped out and my initial commander died while fleeing into independent territory. I have but a few units left and no territory outside of my besieged castle :(

So I'm going to go ahead and switch to AI since I have little chance of recovering my castle and defeating the hated Vampire Count, but, many months from now...if you come across a haunted city where an evil lord dwells...know that a proud monkey-people once stood there.

FYI: I had misfortune-1

[RadioGibbon]

Thats pretty bad luck dude. Hope to see you in some other games.

[thunderbird]

It looks like the AI took your province back.......

[Grijalva]

Cool, I guess that a few single-blessed tiger-riders CAN take out a vampire count and his cronies...oh well :)

[kianduatha]

yep, tiger riders are pretty awesome.

[FAJ]

Bandar even won the death match!

[mscfish]

I am very sorry to say my aerothorax was recrudescence again.And I need to go to the hospital for operation.It will cost at least 10 days.

So I can’t continue my job.And it is an emergency,I don't have time to get a sub.
Very sorry for this.

mscfish

[mscfish]

I have a sub for me,angelsong.

His email is state_of_myself@qq.com.

[AngelSong]

may maker bless us.

[FAJ]

I am very sorry to hear that mscfish. I wish you luck!

and welcome to the game AngelSong!

[RadioGibbon]

Sorry to hear that mscfish, I hope you get well soon.

Angelsong, I've changed the e-mail address and resent Tien Chi's turn, so you should get a copy of the current turn. Let me know if you don't get it.

[AngelSong]

Thanks,I take it.
the wheel turn on.
If somebody nap or trade with mscfish，please tell me.

[FAJ]

Yah, he owed me 1000 gold ;)

Right,I know it,maybe you can give the number of your capital,I will send one hundred soldier and 1000 gold...:angel

[kianduatha]

Could we perhaps get an extension for Thanksgiving weekend? I'm visiting family tomorrow, and this is the last turn I'll be able to do before Sunday or so.

[RadioGibbon]

You americans and your wacky holidays...

I've extended the turn deadline until 08:50 GMT on Monday November 30th.

[ghoul31]

Hey whats wrong with a Holiday celebrating the slaughtering of all the Indians, and taking all of their land?

[FAJ]

Whats wrong with it is that it only lasts 1 day!

Thanksgiving FTW

[Svamptripp]

This has been a fun although a short game for me. :D It seems like I as Pangea will not live for that much longer (I will continue playing until I am totally gone). I now has no choise but to revert to guerilla actions to strike the Man lands from the depths of the sea.

I would just like to thank all for a good game especially Man and Ulm for showing me how to play properly. ;)

Good game Svamptripp! You had some really bad luck there at the end. Hope to see you in another game.

[sansanjuan]

Sorry about the stale. Spent last night in ER with my 12 yr old (he's on the mend). Came back a bit befuddled and sent in the wrong game file.. :doh: No need for a rollback.
-ssj

[thunderbird]

I didn't receive the last turn. Requested a resend and nothing.....what should I do now ;)

[RadioGibbon]

I'm assuming this is turn 23 you haven't got right?

I've tried asking for a resend. If you don't get that let me know asap and we'll see if 'resetting' your e-mail works (ie: changing it to what it always was).

If that doesn't work then I guess we'll have to pause the game and I'll see if Llamabeast can iron the problem out.

[RadioGibbon]

A day that will live in Infamy!

Ashdod decides to commerate the 68th anniversary of Pearl Harbour with some treachery all of their own, tearing up a NAP-3 and leaping across the border with both grotesquely oversized feet.

Some sources are speculating that the Trollvader had advanced intelligence of the attack but allowed his frontline forces to be surprised in order to lure the forces of Ashdod to their doom, whilst other sources are speculating that the Trollvader is running around in circles screaming obscenities and chucking stuff at the wall.

[thunderbird]

Looks like the server is acting up again....anyone else unable to confirm turn receipt? I will assume it all goes well and head to bed ;)

[RadioGibbon]

According to the server there were no stales, so I'm just going to assume that everyone got their turns ok unless anyone says anything.

[FAJ]

I recieved the message for a succesful turn upload, and I recieved the new turn without a problem.

[johnarryn]

Hahaha, three people attacking me? Ulm, Man and Pythium have all invaded Atlantis without warning. Was it something I said?

[thunderbird]

I can't speak for everyone, but we just thought a (under)sea side vacation was in order ;)

[johnarryn]

Can we extend the time limit to, say, 36 hours? Im having trouble keeping up.

[RadioGibbon]

Ok.

[FAJ]

Maybe extend the timer to 48 hours for the holiday season?

Even with short/simple turns, I will have trouble keeping up when I am on the road for family gatherings, parties etc.

[AngelSong]

Thanks all,may we can fight another time.^^

[RadioGibbon]

If it hadn't been for the sea between us AngelSong you would probably be sat in my capital right now. Instead you've got Machaka in yours and I've got Ashdod in mine. Funny old world.

Thanks for playing and sticking it out to the end.

We can go 48 hours now, but I imagine every one will want to take a holiday between about Dec 22nd until Jan 2nd or something anyway.

Van's ability is very useful;)，like this game but dislike micfish god ^^，hope we can meet next war.

[RadioGibbon]

I've whacked a big chunk of time onto the hosting period/interval thingymajob, so we can all enjoy the holidays without worrying about people on the internet trying to destroy our e-empires.

Those of us spending christmas and new years alone weeping softly may still submit turns as rapidly as they like.

I'll switch the hosting back to 48 hours on Jan 2nd.

I am certainly ready to roll again but I can understand how others may still be in Holiday mode.

What I was trying to say above in typically garbled fashion was that their was no need for anyone to submit a turn until Jan 2nd.

The server didn't show this but I thought it wouldn't be a problem because their were only a few peeps still to submit, and a new turn would be processed still with the horrendously long hosting period, which would be shortened on Jan 2nd. However someone seems to have hit the christmas cheer really hard so we didn't do the festive turn I was expecting, meaning I've been putting things back so no one stales.

I think I'll try wrangle the server to host at midnight on Jan 2nd, as thats when I said normal turns will resume, and then we can all get back to murdering each other.

The server shows Jan 11th as the due date, I am assuming we are back to 48 hrs? Not sure if you can adjust this or do you have to manually run it? Thanks....

[RadioGibbon]

Yeah my bad, I've been terribly lazy admining this game. The turns are on 48 hours, except the current one which was still on christmas time.

I've changed that now, new deadline is the 7th, which should give everyone plenty of time to get their turns in.

[sansanjuan]

Odd Atlantis staled. One would think there was sufficient time between the last two turns. ;)
-ssj

[ghoul31]

Hey Vanheim, you are only attacking me with 3 nations? You will need at least 5 or 6 to defeat me. Keep recruiting.

Okay then, although I might need to lend them the gems to teleport in since you seem to be at war with all your neighbours right now.

PS - Machaka and Ermor I get but whos number three?

When it rains, it pours :(

<3 Horrors :D

[ddavidd]

Wow!
Eater of Gods!:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

:rolleyes:


Neither do I, I've never seen such horrors, brrrr
I'm quiet surprised.

[sansanjuan]

I must publish my stupidity for all to see. Strategically perhaps a poor move but that's ok.

So I'm forging and casting rituals under Astral of Corruption. Mages with Astral get 2 pearls and are scripted to cast Returning in non-Cap provinces. Works like a charm. If however you miss a script or a pearl on one of the twenty mages... bad things can happen. Things begin to look bad when the horror is not a run of the mill horror but the Eater of Dreams... things go from bad to worse if that mage is holding a sword of many colors and a ring of wizardry... the downward spiral continues if it also happens to be your pretender with 3 globals. :sick: Not looking for sympathy... Just needed to share. Now that I've got that off my chest.

Anyone know why twiceborn did not light up for the pretender? He was horror routed in my dominion. I thought he would show back in my cap the same turn (he was not undead/inanimate/demon).

Anyway... Please send Astral gems to Pyth if BoT is not your CoT (Cup of Tea).

-ssj

[13lackGu4rd]

if he was routed away than he did not actually die during combat now did he? he only died after the combat where he couldn't retreat anywhere. this is the best explanation I can come up with, and I think it actually has some merit ;)

[sansanjuan]

From further review he died from "consume soul" 999 damage. Bit of a mystery as to why his safety net twiceborn did not engage per the vets debug analysis in the main forum page.

[sansanjuan]

Caelum went AI. Must have missed it. When did that happen?

His player got eaten by the defiler of dreams probably :/

[RadioGibbon]

Well thanks for playing, hope to see you again in some other games.

I'm out too, the old fashioned way (ie: ground into the dirt beneath a giants heel).

Congrats Ashdod, that was a pretty crazy war (from my point of view at least).


EDIT: If anyone still involved in the game wants to take up admin duties they'd be welcome to them, but if not I'll be happy to carry on.

Radio,
Regardless of the outcome thanks for setting it up. This game certainly has exposed me to lots of spells I haven't seen before. That list is likely to grow...
-ssj

[ghoul31]

What is the deal with Belphegor, Lord of Hell? Every time my troops killed him, he just exploded and appeared somewhere else on the battlefield at full health.

[Graeme Dice]

If he casts phoenix pyre, then he will explode and re-appear everytime he dies as long as he doesn't have more than 100 fatigue. It's a great spell in combination with reinvigoration and lifestealing items.

[FAJ]

Yes, Belphegor managed to get Blood Vengence and Pheonix Pyre (and reinvigoration :D ) off before you paralyzed him. You actually got him down to 10% hp and 100+ fatigue, so one or two more hits would have killed him. But then you routed.

You won the battle of course, as when he became unparalyzed, I hit the turn limit and auto-routed. Running scared of an enemy army that consisted of 2 hibernating bears at 195 fatigue. And he calls himself the lord of hell...

[ddavidd]

Hi,

I'm gonna leave for one week. Solmyr will replace me during this time.
Please send messages in game instead of mps.
I'll be back the 9th of march.

Have fun

[FAJ]

This is a bit late to ask, but can I have a 24 hour extension for this turn?

[sansanjuan]

All,
Radiogibbon has agreed to sub for me next week starting Friday 3/26. Have fun all and thanks again RG!
-ssj

[RadioGibbon]

Hey everyone,

as Sansanjuan mentioned I'm subbing for a week.

I've had to postpone for 24 hours however to give myself a little more time to get used to his situation.

Sorry.

[Graeme Dice]

Ulm finally managed to put together a force that could kill my pretender, well done.

[Ossa]

Yep:)

My single and only unique blood summon managed to get a few life for a life spells out;)

Btw, I'm away from Friday morning to Sunday evening - could we arrange to host just once in that timeframe?

[ddavidd]

I'm also have a break from friday to monday. Do you mind to wait until monday night for hosting ?

[FAJ]

Agree. For Easter postpone new turn hosting until Monday.

[RadioGibbon]

If your both away for easter then I'll add a big chunk of hours after the next hosting.

[RadioGibbon]

Pythium will be away Friday to Monday so I'll be postponing hosting for that period.

Also I've set Ermor to AI.

[sansanjuan]

Radio,
Request to add a day to the turn cycles... Lot's of balls in the air this spring.
-ssj

[RadioGibbon]

I can't believe this game was still on 48 hours. I thought it must have gone to 72 ages ago.

Anyway its on 72 now.

[FAJ]

I kind of liked the ridiculously fast pace :D

72 is appreciated though. I hate playing turns on weekends.

[thunderbird]

Everyone,

Apparently the host thinks I have received a bunch of gold or something....no idea what that is all about. I have about what I expected, but definitely no large sudden increase. I will of course be willing to submit my turn to anyone for confirmation. I assume this is a weirdo game issue?

[ddavidd]

It happens sometimes on several games. No worries

Hello. It looks like I'll be subbing for sansanjuan so, please, PM me any things that need to be said. Thanks.

[RadioGibbon]

+24h for Abysia

[ddavidd]

Hi,
I'll play the current turn, and leave for two days.
I won't be able to play the next one before satursday evening.
Could you ad 24 hours to the next hosting interval.
Thanks in advance

[ano]

Guys, with all respect to each of you, I think it's better to stop the game because it became pointless. Even if you manage to win some major battle or two, this will not affect Pythian war machine much. Actually, this machine is growing more and more powerful each turn - you can easily see this from graphs and, believe me, there're a lot of things that graphs do not reflect. Of course, we may continue this for another 90 turns but it will just become boring, in my opinion.
Ulm - loses fortress by fortress and doesn't seem to even try resisting
Man - lost a lot and keeps taking losses. Lost the goddess this this turn. Even if you take that besieged castle, it will decide nothing.
Machaka - is in fairly good position but is with no doubt way behind.

If you do not want to continu, then I require increasing turn time. 72h on turn 95 for a 127-province empire is just funny.

[ano]

If you do not want to continue
Meant "do not want to stop", of course :)

[ddavidd]

If you do not want to continue
Meant "do not want to stop", of course :)

I've just seen your post, I recognize you're certainly gonna win.
So if Man as no hidden trick in is hat, I think we should stop. I'll do so if Man agree.

[ano]

Ok then. Let's pause the game until the issue is decided

[FAJ]

I think it is long overdue, Pythium has this. Fighting with Machaka is fun, but this game is already decided, I think.

[ddavidd]

I think it is long overdue, Pythium has this. Fighting with Machaka is fun, but this game is already decided, I think.

If Man doesn't answer, we'll continue to have fun together

[ano]

If Man doesn't answer, this means he will be staling. I think it is even more pointless to continue in that case.

[ano]

I did what I could and Pythium really grew in power during my 5-turn reign. Now I have no interest in pointless blood spilling.

[thunderbird]

I agree with the group. Good game Pyth. I could not stop you.


Man

[ano]

Ok, fine.
Thanks for the interesting final turns, guys. I learned a few fine things from this game. Thanks, sansanjuan, for the ability to play this late-game Pyth.
Btw, Strands of Arcane Power is a very good spell (people tend to underestimate it). Not only it mind hunts\feebleminds mages in your dominion, but searches for magic sites pretty well after having wished for the Magic Power. And it requires nothing from you, only spreading dominion. 8 sites found and 8 mages killed\feebleminded this turn. My main goal which I succeeded in was spreading dominion as much as possible and then casting wish.
Once again, thanks and gg.

[RadioGibbon]

Alright then since everyone with more than 10 provinces agrees we'll call this game finished then.

Well done Ano (and sansanjuan) and thanks for playing everybody.

[sansanjuan]

I did what I could and Pythium really grew in power during my 5-turn reign. Now I have no interest in pointless blood spilling.

Thanks again ano for taking the helm. You are welcome to claim this one in the hof if you'd like.

All : The micro was too much for me without requesting 6 day turns. Crafting 8 communion battles is fun but.... I am very slow.

Also, I learned a lot watching ano's approach. Some things I might have done differently but no one can argue with his brilliant plan for wishing power on the guy with the mindhunt/ search global and then pushing dominion HARD. I may write more later. Typing on iPhones sucks.

ssj

[ano]

You are welcome to claim this one in the hof if you'd like.
Oh, no. Playing 5 turns is definitely not enough for the HoF entry. If it lasted longer, maybe I would like that but not in this case. Just mention that I was here when reporting, thanks.

In case anybody is interested, I may tell you that you could tear the Pythian empire to pieces. You were perfectly capable of doing that, in fact, and that would be very hard to counter. Most probably, Pythium would win anyway, but definitely not this easy.

ano,
you should. AARs are all about making stronger players. We should post a trn. I have some points too. The others made a number of VERY good moves but sometimes did not repeat or follow up a very wise strategy.
ssj

[ano]

Ok, I'll post the turn later and write something. This isn't going to be an AAR, of course, just some notes. Also, from my experience, people are rarely interested in such things after the game ends and they don't win.

Perhaps there will be no AAR, because nobody except you, sansanjuan, seems to be interested and with you I talked a lot regarding the situation. And I'm really tired now. Sorry.

This was a fun game. I tried out what I thought would be a decent strategy with Jotunheim, and it turned out okay, except for my inability to apply sufficient force to my enemies, and a general screwup of my blood economy. I kept waiting for B1 Vaetti Hags instead of just recruiting Skratti to blood hunt. Had I had a better economy, I would have had more of the skratti thugs that were working so well.

Here is the last turn for Pyth if anyone is interested who was where.
