this is intended to be a faster paced game. if u tend to be the last person sending ur turns in or if u have the tendency to send ur turns in just before the deadline, please join other games instead.

anyone wanna join this game must send his pretender in WITHIN 24 HOURS of posting the application here to make his application valid. (to avoid dragging the start out for weeks as happened before).

if u join this game please keep fighting if u have a chance to win, dont quit too early. on the other hand we wont spend too much time looking for subs, if u think u are in a hopeless situation, just turn the AI on.

We are waiting for players with at least minimal MP experience.

good luck and much fun to everyone!

hi! first of all thanks for the intention. may i advise u to gather some experience first? I didnt make it clear (at all), that i intend this game for at least intermediate players. if u insist, u can participate, but i personally would prefer some more veteran opposition. I hope u wont take offense on this.

[Evilhomer]

Can you give a link to the map please ?

[earcaraxe]

cant find it now. skymoon, would u link it pls?

[Evilhomer]

will there be random starts ? seems random starts on this map gives some weird results.

[skymoon]

It's true.......

[earcaraxe]

i agree. on the other hand knowing the neighbors place of capital, which may help the attacker.

besides: are there any 7-player fixed starts version? I wont make any.

question for all: is it ok for u if we switch to 6 players and use the 6 player fixed-starts version?

[earcaraxe]

or sixlands. that is a little smaller for 6 players.

[skymoon]

all ok for me.

[skymoon]

Still only 6 players.
I agree switch to 6 player, random start.

[PsiSoldier]

Im interested in this if you are still looking for more. ive played about 10 mp games but havent played for about 2 years or more....

Id like MA Ermor please.

[earcaraxe]

fine. pls send ur pretender in, is asked in the OP.

[earcaraxe]

we are going to use this map: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showpost.php?p=801732

[PsiSoldier]

Ok Ill send it when i get home from work.

[earcaraxe]

just to be clear: i consider spy (upsrising instilling) activity an act of war.

[skymoon]

Sure.
Btw, who have spy in this game? Ulm?

[YellowCactus]

Yep, we bein' sneaky!

[Evilhomer]

TC court lady. She was tired of all that walking and decided to take a break and create some drama.

[YellowCactus]

Women!

[skymoon]

Diploma annoucement
The great shinuyama signed a NAP-3 with Man.
The great shinuyama sighed a NAP-3 with TC.

Long live the friendship!

[YellowCactus]

Can I have a NAP? (A long long dirt nap!)

[skymoon]

It's very sad to announce::(
MA Man drop the NAP-3 at turn 14, so attack is free from turn 17.
MA TC drop the NAP-3 at turn 16, so attack is free from turn 19.

What a broken world!:doh::doh:

[Evilhomer]

The glorious nation of TC is looking to trade for nature gems:

In return we can offer most other gems F/A/E/W/S (no death).

We can offer research items also
- feather (for 6 nature gems): can be sent on this turn

- Lightless lanterns (9 nature gems): 3 turns for delivery

other items: earth booster/nature booster/water booster(x2)

[Evilhomer]

Can we increase the hosting interval ?

[earcaraxe]

skymoon has turned his shinuyama AI after suffering a huge defeat from my army. however it was far from crippling.

[Evilhomer]

He lost a huge battle against me as well. Can we increase the hosting interval now ?

[earcaraxe]

then its our mutual glory.


i would like to know the others opinion as well, since it was advertised as a "faster paced game".

[earcaraxe]

but u can get a postponement for the current hosting if u want.

[KeithZ]

I'm sorry but I think I need 24hours delay for this turn, thanks!

[earcaraxe]

np, postponed.

[earcaraxe]

guys, what do u say to switching to 48 hrs hosting time?

[earcaraxe]

or 30. or turning quickohost off for a more expectable hosting. (easier to integrate into RL)

[Evilhomer]

I vote for continuing like it is until turn 50, then go 48h quickhost.

-TC

[PsiSoldier]

We turned Quickhost off?

[earcaraxe]

i have turned it off, isntead of postponing or waiting until the last minute sending my turn in. i have little time for the next 2 days.

[earcaraxe]

Evilhomer- Tien Chi has cast harmful rituals on my capitol, despite having active NAP.

[Evilhomer]

Nope, that is not true at all. We have not cast anything at you.

[KeithZ]

Evilhomer- Tien Chi has cast harmful rituals on my capitol, despite having active NAP.

If you mean the Volcanic Eruption, it's from Caelum.

[earcaraxe]

yeah, i would have answered the same :)

the facts that got me convinced:

-i got 4 random events (2 in my cap: one volcano, and one blight) in my turn. i have order3, and had about 1 event on average so far per turn, so its next to impossible that its just bad luck.

-Ermor has zero interest in weakening me, so the source of the blight and the volcano must be TC or Caelum.

-Caelum doesnt have the paths for either spell, except his crone pretender, but even she cant cast two rituals.

-TC has the paths for the volcano, and i can imagine them having a mage (or hero) or a pretender for the blight.

-TC has done something similar by sending a spy and inciting revolt without being in war already, at the start of the game.

-It all happened right in the same turn, when TC notified me on cancelling our NAP3, so the intent is right there.

[earcaraxe]

wow :D

[KeithZ]

wow :D

Shall we end this game now? We all know TC is going to win.
Of course I don't mind playing some more turns, I will just try to get your capital:smirk:

[KeithZ]

Blight was cast by a unfrozen mage, just for fun..

[earcaraxe]

wow :D

Of course I don't mind playing some more turns, I will just try to get your capital:smirk:

i agree TC is going to win, so its ok for me.

regarding my cap: i didnt have time for the last 3 turns due to RL events. My second defeat at ur easternmost fort , where i managed to kill 8 of ur mages with foul vapors was my last where i did any significant scripting. so it was a great war for u, u fought very well, congratulations!

but im afraid any further accomplishments in our war wont highten ur glory too much.

[Evilhomer]

If we do decide to continue I would need a 24 h extension since I will have a long distance flight.

[PsiSoldier]

Well I wouldn't call the game dead yet... But it would take the three of us to Stop TC at this point.. As of next turn I can start pumping out my own SC's though so that would throw a bit of a spin into things..

Not to mention I already have devious plans for dealing with his SC's that they will not be able to resist..

[Evilhomer]

Sorry I will be needing extra hosting time. I will get my turn in on Monday. Delays due to united airlines being untrustworthy.

[earcaraxe]

hosting delayed by 24 hrs again.

ok, what about a collective and immediate peace treaty between us (ermor and caelum) and attacking TC also right now?

i also want 92 and 49 back.

[Evilhomer]

So what is happening with this game ? Man seems to done a sneak attack and then gone AI at the same turn. Ermor and Caelum what are your opinions about continuing ?

Edit: we also seem to be on 24 h quickhost again for some reason.

[KeithZ]

I just want to surrender...

[PsiSoldier]

Hell I don't really care. we can end this.. Give me more time to concentrate on another game where I'm in 1st place

[earcaraxe]

then i call it a game, thanks for participating!

congrats for Evilhomer, ruler of tien chi! u played very patiently!

[Evilhomer]

Alright, thanks for the game guys.

[PsiSoldier]

Grats Evil. Good game.
