thought i'd throw this up here, boys. remmember, no diplo, only reactions to the game.

here's my reaction...i ain't gonna last too long.

Hi parone,

Diplomacy is allowed, but only though the in game messaging system.

Hang in there, I have heard about your skirmishes, nothing serious yet, you are not at war, time to turtle a bit and get that research going.

Your strength is in your mages, not your army.

as we approach the end of the early game, it would appear Shinu is in the lead. of course, it is very very early...

HoleyDooley

May 5th, 2012, 08:07 AM

Very early and I have a war on my hands, which will slow me up.

man everyone is in the pool! i thought i'd be the only one. i don't even like the water, either...

I'm fortunate to have nice friendly neighbors!

HoleyDooley

May 6th, 2012, 09:13 PM

Well, I have a nice surprise coming Agarthas way shorty....Abysia game him a bloody nose but they are at peace now......

Ulm told me Mictlan was going to go to war against Abysia...which I thought was strange.....

So I think the only two nations at war is me and Agartha right now....

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong..lol.

mattyburn7

May 6th, 2012, 09:30 PM

Yea. I'm definetly not at war with Abysia. He took a province I sorely wanted (gonna remember that! LOL). But right now at peace...and I got a cool Hero last turn. WooHoo!

HoleyDooley

May 7th, 2012, 09:18 PM

I don't want to say tooo much here as diplomacy is in game only.

But it seems maybe apart from Jimbo you other 2 are are way a way from the action.

Agartha picked a fight with me.....we haven't actually fought yet, he has taken 2 provinces but I hit one of his next turn with 12 mages and 200 + troops and magic items. He also picked a fight and ATTACKED Abysia at the same time....CRAZY!!!!!

Abysia beat his army up badly and was going to go to peace with him, but maybe has had a change of heart and will attack him.

Keep your eyes on Agarthas statistics...you might see a dramatic drop over the next 2 or 3 turns..lol.

Other than that I don't know of any other conflicts......

i am currently plotting a war of aggression and all i keep thinking about is proper routes of retreat...that's not a good sign is it?

HoleyDooley

May 10th, 2012, 07:06 PM

Ah, thats just the Italian blood in you.

parone

May 10th, 2012, 07:43 PM

lol. i do really like lasagna

mattyburn7

May 10th, 2012, 08:22 PM

Italian, Eh? That reminds me of some Sean Connery Lines from The Untouchables. Of course I say that being Italian myself :) (and German and Welsh).

HoleyDooley

May 10th, 2012, 08:34 PM

German hey.....

What ever you do...don't mention the war.

book idea: underwater warfare for dummies. i know i'd buy one.

HoleyDooley

May 15th, 2012, 09:18 AM

I know stuff all about fighting underwater.

Chapter 1. Just give them attack orders and pray!

Just got my butt kicked by a SC Pretender!

parone

May 19th, 2012, 09:34 PM

i like SC pretenders. but i am absolutely awful with them. in BSoD i have managed to get mine killed like 3 or 4 times. ironically, i named him lazarus.

HoleyDooley

May 19th, 2012, 09:37 PM

LOL...Well I love them too and I am using them in a number of games right now.

It makes the game a little more interesting.

Looks like Ulm took a province off you???????

parone

May 19th, 2012, 09:44 PM

Our relations with the Iron Army are strong. Ulm has acted honorably. but hooley, you tricky devil, you have little birds watching over all our shoulders, don't you?

HoleyDooley

May 19th, 2012, 10:07 PM

Never...we never spy on our allies.

Um, parone, you have a bit of food on your chin mate, bit to the left, thats it, you got it.

HoleyDooley

May 19th, 2012, 10:09 PM

You get my message re the Elixir of Life.

I need one if you can forge it.

mattyburn7

May 22nd, 2012, 03:13 PM

The people of Mictlan demand a beer for every blade of grass your spiders crush!

Holey: Sorry not that far about the construction lattter yet. Same for the Boots of Youth. I'm researching some other paths to try to take care of pesky spiders :)

parone

May 22nd, 2012, 03:19 PM

hmmm. it appears i may have lost the initiative...

parone

May 22nd, 2012, 03:22 PM

well, to whoever is listening:

check my graphs to see what happens when you:
a)expand recklessly with a nation you know nothing about
b)launch an ill conceived war of aggression on a player who is at least as good as you are(prob a bit better)
c)raid like a mad man down dead end streets
d)lose about 3 decisive engagements in a row

i apologize for nothing!!! on with the war!

mattyburn7

May 22nd, 2012, 03:27 PM

LOL...I was guessing your scouts hadn't gone that far when your army zipped past my capital with nowhere to go.

We make an offer. If they lay down there weapons we'll give them all a plot of land they can call their own that is spider free!

HoleyDooley

May 22nd, 2012, 08:25 PM

LOL...Thx Matty, I just sent a message in game which you can disregard.

You two having fun.

Meanwhile Agarthas army is still on rampage, I can beat it, but not the pesky pretender.

Have to kill that army before I can regain the initiative.

mattyburn7

May 22nd, 2012, 09:15 PM

Sounds like you are having fun with Agartha.

Parone and I are having some good battles. We just had a longgg dragdown affair. About 500 troops total involved. Fun Fun Fun!

HoleyDooley

May 22nd, 2012, 10:26 PM

Yeah well, I lost 3500 gold worth of mages, plus my main army because his pretender was sitting in darkness in his castle and had researched enough to cast Strength of Gaia.....Thus we lost that fight because of this and retreated from the province...only the AI decided to move his army and take the only retreat province I had...lol.

So he has 1 army rebuilding next to you, and 1 still on the rampage, I can only beat it at present in conjunction with PD, thus I can hold him in check, but will be some turnds before I take that group out if he doesn't attack me and I get to use my PD.

His pretender is sitting quietly in his castle smiling over the debacle he caused me. Can't take his pretender out in his castle without one or two SC of my own.

Thus this is going to drag on for some time and means attacking another play right now is out of the question. I am not threaten by him so much but I have to commit so much to take out that army and constantly patrol that area that another war against an unoccupied nation would not be pretty.

mattyburn7

May 24th, 2012, 08:39 PM

LOL..I'm an idiot. I set my army in the castle to break siege but forgot to script the army outside the capital to attack. D'oh!! :doh:

HoleyDooley

May 24th, 2012, 08:48 PM

Good to see I am not the ONLY idiot in this game.

I haven't concentrated enough.

How about this one.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I found an Indy Nature mage, excellent, I had better build a useless castle, in the forest along with a useless lab and temple to make this nature mage...only to check and find have national mage!!!!!!!
after I had built everything.

Along with the disaster with the Agartha.....I am back on my heels right now, trying to catch up.

jimbojones1971

May 26th, 2012, 01:04 AM

Yeah, it is always annoying at the time when you do stuff like that - but at least it is worth a story and a laugh afterwards :-D

sorry 4 the delay boys. had some internet issues. got the turn in, hopefully will have things squared away in a day or so.

HoleyDooley

May 29th, 2012, 10:52 PM

Its cool parone...I received your in game message and have replied.....

mattyburn7

May 30th, 2012, 02:54 PM

Yep. No worries mate. Hope you didn't leave any spider eggs behind!

parone

June 1st, 2012, 07:14 AM

i don't know if the abysian player checks this, but i absolutely did not mean to attack that province. i was trying to move those infantry back to my northern castle and did my turn in a hurry.

i'm sorry. the rest was just bad luck. will move out of there so you can have it back, but i understand if you decide to pummel me, as my mistake was costly to you.

once again, i am sorry, and did not mean to violate our NAP

mattyburn7

June 1st, 2012, 08:16 AM

I don't think Abysia has access to this. You may want to post message in game.

HoleyDooley

June 1st, 2012, 08:49 AM

I have sent this link to Abysia...via skype...and yes he does have access to this forum, but he never comes here, unless I tell him there is he needs to see.

I can confirm he has read the message......but I don't think he is toooooo
happy....lol.

parone

June 1st, 2012, 09:02 AM

if i was him, i would be very, very pissed. it was mostly bad luck, with a healthy helping of bonehead thrown in on my part.

HoleyDooley

June 1st, 2012, 09:45 AM

Yeah, but he didn't have his pretender scripted correctly...had he done so, it would have meant the loss of a province for a turn only.....
so it was an honest mistake on your part and bad play on his.......

parone

June 9th, 2012, 05:47 AM

is anyone fighting in this game? and why did everyone's income go down this turn? very odd...

HoleyDooley

June 9th, 2012, 10:38 AM

Two very good questions parone....I think we are like a deer in the headlights.......watching and waiting.

There are a lot of inexperienced players here...mind you, Ulm has a nice big army and his research is starting to go through the roof.

Looks like EVERYONE is going to make it to the late game...which will be hilarious...I had better brush up on some of the higher spells.

Yeah the income graph was very funny. Never seen that before. I got hit by a nasty event so I did expect mine to go down.

Still, apart from Agarthas early blitz and diplomacy suicide and your little adventure with the Aztecs its been a very quiet affair.

mattyburn7

June 9th, 2012, 01:51 PM

Yea. And our adventure pretty much ended with us exactly where we were! LOL.

parone

June 9th, 2012, 03:28 PM

yes. except me minus 150 units and two provinces!!! ahhh, but i deserved it.

HoleyDooley

June 9th, 2012, 10:47 PM

Apart from a few highlights for me, the game has been fairly mundane, but part of that has been my choice.

In about 4 other games started since this one I have been at war like from turn 10 in most of them...very exciting stuff.

tigercub

June 20th, 2012, 08:13 AM

I had a barbecue...and a few beers wile i looked over some toasted Spiders was going to eat a few but there were over cooked!

:)Tiger

parone

June 20th, 2012, 12:39 PM

yep. me thinks machaka's goose is cooked. i spent like an hour scripting that main battle and then apparently forgot to save the changes b4 i sent in the file. but you know what? i don't think it'd made a bit of difference.

you earned your stripes, tiger.

HoleyDooley

June 20th, 2012, 07:18 PM

parone, he needed that victory. In the mod game, his "empire" didn't even get to celebrate the first years eves party before it was snuffed out by some very big and ugly Ogres...lol.

Parone...you MUST play in the next mod game...I will not accept "I must attend to my horses" as an excuse.

parone

June 20th, 2012, 08:05 PM

would love to holey. i beleive my days are numbered here. i have been thoroughly bested.

HoleyDooley

June 20th, 2012, 08:41 PM

Well you try things parone, you will never die wondering what if.....

I was thinking of giving the spiders a go myself in the next MA game. I tried when when I was really new, so with a bit of experience behind me I think I can do much better.

Well if the balance of power has shifted greatly against you in All4one, no harm in asking for assistance.

There is a very weak neutral player right next to both you and Abysia...I am sure an approach to him will be favorably received and maybe even the odds a little.

parone

June 20th, 2012, 10:51 PM

lol. what happens happens. i don't mind getting ***** slapped, since i did start this war. i was bored. the tiger deserves the win. but i'll try to make it uncomfortable, at least.

i have no idea how to effectively play machaka. i can say, don't rely on spiders beyond early game, and set your scales for max cash. those casters ain't cheap.

jimbojones1971

July 10th, 2012, 12:40 AM

War between Shinuyama and Ulm! Truly, this game IS getting interesting :-D

HoleyDooley

July 10th, 2012, 02:43 AM

Yeah its been a while getting going but the thing is most of us have survived to late game, so lots of fun to be had by all.

Pity parone got swamped by Tiger....he misses out on all the fun now.

I am facing Iron Angels galore.......who will step up and take on the mighty giants now......two gem globals and no war...hhhmmmmm...lol.

jimbojones1971

July 10th, 2012, 03:42 AM

who will step up and take on the mighty giants now......two gem globals and no war...hhhmmmmm...lol.

We pass the time with knitting, scrabble nights and chook raffles. Nothing to see here, just us peaceful giants ;)

HoleyDooley

July 10th, 2012, 04:06 AM

Yeah right...coock raffles, what are they, Zmeies in Hawaiian skirts or something!

parone

July 10th, 2012, 07:20 AM

not dead yet. prepping a nasty last battle for my warm blooded friends. and picking off a commander here and there.

bested? yes. still able to be a pain in the arse? i think so.

mattyburn7

July 10th, 2012, 08:35 AM

And Mictlan is about to enter another war finally.

jimbojones1971

July 12th, 2012, 01:36 AM

Yeah right...chock raffles, what are they, Zmeies in Hawaiian skirts or something!

Pretty much. With a lycanthropos amulet. Enjoy your prize! :-D

September 1st, 2012, 02:40 PM

i finally won a battle vs abysia! of course, my whole empire was destroyed prior to now.

October 3rd, 2012, 08:59 AM

guys i am having real problems with my cpu. i have internet, but my "drivers" can't find it. im using my girlfriends' laptop to write this, but since i only have a downloaded copy of dominions, i can't switch it(and prob would never be able to transfer the game files anyway).

so you may have to set me ai. question: if i go AI can i come back? my uber geek bro will likely be here this weekend and may be able to patch up my ancient cpu. if so, i'd love to get back in.
