[yandav]

Count me in, dear compatriote.

[wonderloss]

I am in.

[odeoderok]

I'm in, the first one was buckets of fun!

[Thanatus del Dragos]

I would like to play.

[Hurmio]

I would like to join as well!

[vargr]

I'd like to join too

[Hoplosternum]

Sign me up (again) :)

And for those of you who haven't played these victory conditions before they really do help :) No more dull turtling by most players before the traditional concession to / grand gank of the Leader(s).

[BewareTheBarnacleGoose]

Do you take first time MP'ers? If so, count me in!

[Num]

Hi,
I would like to play in too. I have played 5 mp games. A good-looking map (regardless the playability) would be much appreciated !

[DarkAvenger211]

Hey could I join in as well. I only have a few mp games under my belt but I would still like to join in.

[Galou]

Vets and noobs welcome.

I will roll the nations tomorrow (waiting for a hypothetical 12th player) and begin the game at the beginning of next week.
I think we will play on the same map (Galadia) than the previous game.

[BewareTheBarnacleGoose]

Sorry, Im not actually free, count me out.

[Galou]

Ok.
Nations are rolled.

[wonderloss]

I noticed a couple of maps called Galadia. Is Galadia 1.1 the correct map?

[Galou]

Yes, Galadia 1.1.

[Ossa]

Its probably to late to join, or? Otherwise I'd like to;)

[DarkAvenger211]

nice. When is It getting started again?

[Galou]

It's ok Ossa, you have Machaka.

I will create the game on the llamaserver soon.
It would be great if everybody send his pretender monday.

[wonderloss]

I am having trouble finding a download link for the End Game 1.1 mod.

[Galou]

Sorry, I didn't notice that 1.2 has been release. Assume that we will use 1.2.

[Hurmio]

Sorry, I didn't notice that 1.2 has been release. Assume that we will use 1.2.

We'll use CBM 1.6 though?

[Thanatus del Dragos]

Ooh, neat. I've never played Bandar before. They get Charlton Heston as a Hero, right?

[Galou]

We'll use CBM 1.6 though?
Despite the fact that I notice the news versions, yes, we will play with CBM 1.6.

[Galou]

Sorry, I didn't notice that 1.2 has been release. Assume that we will use 1.2.
Grmblm...EBM 1.21 to be exact.

Well, game created on the llamaserver:
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Scourge_of_Nations2

You can send your pretenders.

[Num]

I am out of home this weekend, I shall send my Pretender on monday night.

[Ossa]

Could you post a link to the map?

[Galou]

I am out of home this weekend, I shall send my Pretender on monday night.
No problem. Anyway, the game will start only if there are all pretenders.

Could you post a link to the map?

There is also a fix in the 7th post of the same thread (and still some misconnected provinces, although not much disturbing).

[DarkAvenger211]

How do I join the server without the IP? That link only gets to the info page

[Galou]

Hop! Here is the link to the FAQ of the llamaserver:

I think you should not have any problem after reading this, but don't be afraid to ask.

[DarkAvenger211]

I downloaded the map. But I'm still getting an error when I try to launch the game. I keep getting "missing wrappi.tga"

[Galou]

Well, the TGA is only in the first version of the map...

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=701977

[DarkAvenger211]

Stupid me :P I downloaded the "updated" one on the 7th post

[wonderloss]

Arco fell to Jotun.

Man, I could not do anything right this game.

[Galou]

Well, that was quick...
Could you put your nation in AI if you couldn't do anything?

[Hurmio]

Arco fell to Jotun.

Man, I could not do anything right this game.

Did you have some bad luck with indies? I see you had a nasty event with the villains.

Well, Jotunheim thanks for the warm welcome. We sure do like them Hoplites, especially as souvlaki... :p

[wonderloss]

The villains took the province on the same turn that my army moved into another province to attack. That attack went badly, so when my army routed, bye-bye everyone.

[Galou]

Turn 20, I changed the delay to 52h/turn.

[vargr]

Bandar Log capital was captured by Ulm.

[Thanatus del Dragos]

Yep, I'm in a world of hurt :(

[Galou]

Me too...
Agartha stormed the capitol of the Pangea.
We will hide in the most profounds forests in the area.

Galoupiot, god of the (now) Hidden Pangea.

[Ossa]

Pythiums Castle fell to the spiders of Machaka

[Ossa]

Nations of the world! Know that Yandav, ruler of Vanheim, is not trustworthy! Though he signed a NAP with Machaka long ago, he attacked with 4 stealthy stacks this turn. Not that he will keep what he took for long, but you should know that he cannot be trusted to keep his pacts with you.

[yandav]

My bad, I was sure that we didn't sign any NAP. I'll let you take back your provinces and give you some gold to compensate.
Can you show me the PM where I told you that I was agreeing with a NAP, I can't find it.

[Ossa]

Nations of this world! Know this, that yandav did not actually sign a NAP-3 with Machaka. He just wrote a message offering peaceful relations while reserving the right to one specific province!

So while he did something bad, he did not brake a rule to do so. The ambassador of Machaka just made the mistake of remembering this particular deal the wrong way.

@yandav: You may go ahead, though I advice you not;)

[Hurmio]

Hi,

I will be away for the weekend celebrating Midsummer's Eve. I'll send in my turn 36 tonight, but i won't be able to play the next one before noon on monday. So, would it be possible to delay the hosting of turn 37 until monday evening?

[Hurmio]

I mean delaying host of turn 38, i messed up with the turn numbers... :D

[yandav]

I fear that I won't be able to play from 07/15 to 07/19, sorry.

Oh, btw, Jotunheim has broken the walls of my capital 3 turns ago.

[Hurmio]

The City of Vanheim has fallen! A lone hero, Gaap the Ice Devil, refusing to yield before the might of Vanheim's mightiest army, backed by uncountable waves of mysterious Van sorcerers and powerfull Dwarven warlocks, single handedly slew each and every Van and Dwarf, thus ending the Siege of Vanheim.

Hail Gaap, Hero of all Jotun!

[Num]

I am afraid the vile people of Agartha have crushed the God and the Capital of Mictlan. Althought in a bad shape for a long time (well, since the very beginning) I feel like I had no chance against such a powerful opponent.

See you for another game.

[odeoderok]

Indeed Num, the fates turned their back to Mictlan in this game. But I was pretty nervous watching the final replay, when the AI started spamming Control after your script ended :)

Troglodyte power!

[Hurmio]

Again i need an extension to play time. This time it's turn 54. I've already sent in my file for turn 53, but i can't play turn 54 before monday. Sorry for the delay!

[Galou]

Hello all,
I need a sub for managing the game (not very time consuming) since I could not have a connection until end of august (holydays).

[yandav]

Well, it seems I'm done.
Merci Galou pour l'organisation.

[Hurmio]

Hello all,
I need a sub for managing the game (not very time consuming) since I could not have a connection until end of august (holydays).

I can do this, if it's not too late? To keep the game going on and so.

[odeoderok]

It just occurred to me, if Galou left autohost on, we can still play, no?

[Hurmio]

It just occurred to me, if Galou left autohost on, we can still play, no?

I guess we'll know when everyone has sent in their turns.

[Galou]

Well,
I'm back and the delay will return to 52h as soon as Marignon play his turn.

[Ossa]

Nations of the world!

The evil leaders of Agartha have broken their treaties and spit on their promises - Agartha has backstabbed the honourable nation of Machaka.

Their aggression will be swiftly dealt with.

PS: Monolith armour should be put on a an Enc-0 creature. Otherwise you're not going to make a lot of attacks in a battle.

It seems Machaka has a habit of imagining treaties where there are none, we have not made a NAP!

PS You're quite right about the monolith armor :)

[Hoplosternum]

Marignon falls to Agartha! Good game everyone.

[Hurmio]

I'm on a vacation from next friday to next week's saturday. Would you guys mind delaying the game for a week? I can also try to find a substitute, but i'd really like to play the next turns myself, as the game is in a very interesting phase.

I can play my turns until friday normally.

What say you?

[Ossa]

I wouldnt mind delaying for a week, as I'll be on a vacation myself. I will probably have internet access there but it would be easier for me if we could delay hosting.

[vargr]

Same thing for me. Better to just delay, especially considering what's at stake for Jotun/Agartha/Machaka.

[Hoplosternum]

Hi All,

The defeated Marignon here. I am (was) still in the game but my PC has packed up (writing this from a borrowed PC) so I won't be able to return any more turns.

You will either just have to let me stale or if you can turn me AI. I hope I don't hold you up.

Good Luck everyone and good game!

[odeoderok]

Hey Galou,

everybody but Marignon have their turns in, so can you force host or set Marignon on AI? Thanks!

[Hurmio]

Agartha fell to Jotun onslaught.

[Ossa]

That means Agartha 3 Jomon 2 Mictlan 1 Ulm 0 if I'm right;)

[Galou]

No,
It's:
Agartha 3PV
Jotun 3PV
Ulm 1PV
Machaka 1PV

I update "the message of the day" on the server and not the first post of this thread.

For what I could see (nothing) We could have three winners for now :).

[Hurmio]

Hi,

the game is in a situation, where only 2 players (Agartha and my Jotunheim) can win. Machaka can get to a draw by taking Ulm and Jotunheim. Ulm can get to a draw by taking Machaka and Jotunheim.

Since Agartha has no more castles(?) and Ulm is down his capital, i see no realistic chance for them to get more points. That leaves Machaka, who has graciously agreed to support my claim for victory.

I suggest we call it a game. What say you?

[vargr]

Ulm is ready to concede.

[Galou]

So, Jotunheim wins!
Congrats Hurmio.

And congrats to all, I was defeated early but I saw that you maintain a very good pace and nobody dismiss without a word, a pleasure.

I will launch a new game next year to celebrate the coming armageddon but for now I have my content of game.

Thanks all.

[Hurmio]

Thanks for the game!
