Time for a Slaughter - LA - Running

[Bullock]

All players with a track record of at least few months of play are welcome (on shrapnel or somewhere else). The game will be relatively fast paced, so don't join if you lack the time for such game.

The era will be decided trough a poll. So when joining you can lock up to 1 nation which will be locked for each era. You can change your mind 'til the game start, if still free ofc. And don't forget to vote ! (unless you don't mind which era we play)

Concerning water nation, they are welcome if there is at least 2 of them. So if you are the 1rt to pick a water nation, you can also pick a land nation in case nobody else want to play the 2nd water nation.

And like for all the games i'm the admin, i'm looking for persistent players who won't leave after the first defeat on the battlefield.

[FAJ]

Not sure if my track record counts, as I have not played in a year; I have been playing on Shrapnel since 2007, though. Looking to get back into DOM3.

If I am allowed in, put me down for Marignon

[Bullock]

Welcome in everybody.
You can pick a 2nd nation if your 1rt doesn"t exist in all era.

[Bwaha]

Heya, I'd like to play MA Van... :D

[Ragnarok-X]

I hope for EA and take Atlantis. If no second water is around, ill do Lanka.
For MA, ill do Atlantis or Pythium.

[YellowCactus]

EA Kailusa
MA Jotunheim
LA Ulm

Thanks!

[Evilhomer]

Sign me up

EA - niefel
MA - Shinuyama
LA - Patala

[Jolly Roger]

EA Fomoria
MA Machaka
LA Bogarus

Thanks for setting this up,

Regards, Klaus

[Minor Kitty]

Any era Acro
Ea SAUROMATIA

[FAJ]

Can you change my nation choice to Pangaea please?

[starcryst]

I'm a new player, which may exclude me from this game, but I've been watching the boards for over a week waiting for some games to open up and this is the first one I've seen. So if you need me I'm game. If not, any suggestions on where I can find a slot in a newb friendly game would be appreciated.

If you decide to let me in;

EA Caelum
MA Caelum
LA Caelum

Thanks!

[YellowCactus]

I think this will be a fun game. You will have to be a true nerd, and reserve hours every day to the game though. If your not ready to hold your pee and tell your girlfriend to go shopping...this may not be your game.

[Bullock]

hey starcrist, if you have a lot of solo practicing, are a persistent player and if we are short of participants i'm fine with you in. (i'm planning to start the game this WE)

[Bullock]

Can some1 split the poll plz ?? :) we have 3 votes for each era (considering only involved players)

[starcryst]

hey starcrist, if you have a lot of solo practicing, are a persistent player and if we are short of participants i'm fine with you in. (i'm planning to start the game this WE)

I have been obsessed with solo play for the past 2 months and I'm itching to get into an MP game. I'll definitely be persistent.

And I can break the tie since I originally voted multi-age - EA!

[HoleyDooley]

Bullcock, there is one player signed up who went AI with in the first 12 turns in a recent game.

I would hardly describe him as persistant.

[FAJ]

As I have changed my nation, you can change my vote to LA, if that helps break a tie.

Are we using the stock 'Cradle of Dominion' map? I have a few extra versions with suggestive names such as (fixed); are there any known bugs? If we are starting this weekend, it looks like me may be a few players short from ~15, do we want to use a smaller map?

[Bullock]

@starcryst: Ok that's ur chance, but it ll be tough ;)

@Faj: 11-12 is pretty good for this map i think. But you can still make suggestion. I'm planning to take the latest version i found, shouldn't be any problem.

[FAJ]

I am fine with cradle; just provide a download link for the latest version :)

What age are we going with? Would like to run a test or two before we start this weekend.

[parone]

any shot i can get in? im in one MP game currently, but it is apparently on permanent hiatus. would love to be some iteration of shinuyama, but will take anything.

[parone]

also, i think in MA crisis, we need a sub. mictlan, turn 25 i think. no wars yet, only one stale. so if anyone in here is looking to get into a newbie game, pm me or go to the MP sight and post. our guy has been missing 9 of the last 10 days...

[HoleyDooley]

Hi can we make a decision of what era please?

I haven't played Mictlan in any era before and need a quick test run.

[Bullock]

Parone you are welcome!

So we have 4votes for LA and 3 for other eras, so lets go LA!

The game should be up shortly on llama, check OP for link.

The game will start tomorrow night unless all pretenders are sent earlier. (or maybe later if some1 has trouble to submit is pretender this WE).

@FAJ: don't bother with map issues, you have nothing to do.

a 13th would be sweet, any last player wanna join?

[parone]

ill take the barbarian kings of tien chi. never even SP them, so please folks, be merciful...

[Bullock]

a small reminder before we start this:

Disallowed exploits:
*Copying Bogus' orders and overfilling enemy lab to prevent his own forge.
*Probing armies with scouts/commanders must be done in such a way so as not to block movement.

Players have to be persistent (to not spoil the game for others):

If you have a fort left who can produce troops you are not supposed to quit. Same thing if you have nothing to produce but some troops still up. At least try to hurt, as much as you can, the one who make u eat dust.
In most case its a 2min turns, thats not much asking.

[Jolly Roger]

Did I miss something ?
Most votes for MA !

In case of MA, Machaka for me please.

In case of LA, please Bogarus.

Regards, Klaus

[Bullock]

Yeah 2 people, who have voted for MA, are not involved in the game.

[Jolly Roger]

LOL.

OK, LA Bogarus for me.

Cheers, Klaus

[Bwaha]

I'll have to bow out, A young lady has decided to take up prospecting and wants me to teach her how and where to look.

[parone]

the cradle map i have says it is for 8-10. there are what, 13 of us? im cool with that, but do i have the wrong map?

[starcryst]

I know this is noobish, but seeing as its my first MP game, please forgive.

How do I connect to the server to upload my pretender? Looking all over the game page for IP / Port addresses and not finding anything. Has the game not been opened for us to upload pretenders yet?

Any help appreciated.

[ghoul31]

I'll take agartha if there is room

[parone]

sent in my LA pretender and it said the game was MA. ???

[Bullock]

the cradle map i have says it is for 8-10. there are what, 13 of us? im cool with that, but do i have the wrong map?

No don't bother all settings come from the server, you need only the picture of the map.

I know this is noobish, but seeing as its my first MP game, please forgive.

How do I connect to the server to upload my pretender? Looking all over the game page for IP / Port addresses and not finding anything. Has the game not been opened for us to upload pretenders yet?

Any help appreciated.

You have to send your pretender to pretenders[at]llamaserver.net with the title "slaughter".

I'll take agartha if there is room

Yeah i switched bwaha with you, which means we still have one room left.

sent in my LA pretender and it said the game was MA. ???

Yeah my bad, it's good now.

[HoleyDooley]

I know this is noobish, but seeing as its my first MP game, please forgive.

Any help appreciated.

Make sure you have Streamers & Standards mod activated as well at the time you created your pretender.

[Jolly Roger]

Sent pretender meanwhile, was accepted.

Thanks for setting this up.

Regards, Klaus

[parone]

im squared away and ready to die!!!

[starcryst]

I know this is noobish, but seeing as its my first MP game, please forgive.

Make sure you have Streamers & Standards mod activated as well at the time you created your pretender.

I'm in the game and good to go. Thanks for all the help from everyone.

[starcryst]

Actually I do have another question. I notice the map is called "Cradle of Ice and Fire" which I'm not familiar with and it doesn't come up when I do a search on the forums. Do I need to do anything special to get that map?

[Maliken]

If there is still room I'd like to join as Utgard.

[Bullock]

Alright Maliken you are our 13th.

@all: just don't bother with the map, you have nothing to do.

[Bullock]

I have PM those who haven't sent there pretender.

I hope we will be able to start this soon.

[starcryst]

Any news on our missing players?

[Ragnarok-X]

Since we are MA and i said Atlantis or Pythium and i dont see Ryleh or Oceania, i assume its Pythium design for me ?

[FAJ]

Due to some votes in the poll being from people not playing in this game, and a changed vote or two, the age is LA. You are still a '?' because you did not specify a LA nation.

[Ragnarok-X]

Wow, greatness. Why dont ppl use the damn vote function lol.

For LA, ill do Atlantis. If thats a no for being single UW, im out.
laters

[parone]

lol. either we do it my way or im taking my ball and going home!!!

[Bullock]

Atlantis ain't a water nation in LA. so it's ok.
Send your pretender asap then.

[parone]

lol. bull, you think he is so mad that he didn't know atlantis was a land nation that he quit already?

stupidity is alway funny. but i must say, for my own part, i didn't know that either.

[Bullock]

Well we have waited long enough.
Unfortunately i have found only craddle map with 11 fixed & 13 fixed spot.
So we will have to go random.

Goooooood luck everyone

[Evilhomer]

Anything we need to know about this map ? normal indies or some special ones ? Also where are the fixed start positions ?

-EH

[Bullock]

Anything we need to know about this map ? normal indies or some special ones ? Also where are the fixed start positions ?

-EH

I picked the vanilla map. So it's classic game with random starts (however your cap should have 4 neighbor prov at least, and shouldn't be in a crap province itself)

If you feel that your position sucks hard, send me a PM with your starting prov number. But it shouldn't happen.

[FAJ]

We can't use the 13 fixed position map? I didn't think you needed to fill all those spots, and we don't have an UW player to boot.

Also, I think you may have clicked site frequency once too many ;)

[Bullock]

We can't use the 13 fixed position map? I didn't think you needed to fill all those spots, and we don't have an UW player to boot.

Also, I think you may have clicked site frequency once too many ;)

If we leave a slot we are sure that some1 will fully benefit of it.(or 2 maybe)
While when it is random we know it won't be totally fair but the benefit will be split between more players.

i guess it can be argued, but that's why i've made this call.

[starcryst]

A question about multiplayer - does the turn run when everyone gets their turn in or does the server wait until the posted time for turns to be in regardless?

[Evilhomer]

A new turn will be generated if one of these two things happen:

1. All players has submitted their turns
2. Deadline for the turn is reached

[Ragnarok-X]

has it started ?

[FAJ]

Yes, it looks like we didn't wait for your pretender.

It is still turn 1, I would prefer to restart and have Atlantis in and have 13/13 for the fixed position map, but I maybe alone in that.

[Ragnarok-X]

Well, i can only log on each day after work. Yesterday, i didnt see a reply about my nation of choice and today it alrdy started.
You can either restart and i will send in my pret immediatly, or play it out.
No harm done.

[Evilhomer]

I am happy with my start so I rather keep on playing. To much delay and restarts make people loose interest in a game.

[starcryst]

I am happy with my start so I rather keep on playing. To much delay and restarts make people loose interest in a game.

Agreed.

[Bullock]

Yeah we keep this running sry FAJ & Ragnarok

[parone]

wow. i assumed indies were default. looking back, indies were never specifically mentioned...

no one to blame but myself. tien chi is just about done for by turn 3.

dumb dumb dumb.

oh well, i'll stay at it.

[Bullock]

ind:7 means independents are level7 ^^

[starcryst]

wow. i assumed indies were default. looking back, indies were never specifically mentioned...

no one to blame but myself. tien chi is just about done for by turn 3.

dumb dumb dumb.

oh well, i'll stay at it.

No kidding. Made the same mistake here.

[parone]

missed it. just saw "all other settings default"

i'll be lucky to get my first expansion province by turn 7. prob more like turn 8. anyone who sees me, kill me please. free capital expo!

[Bullock]

that's not the "persistent player" spirit.
Just play & do your best.

Maybe try to get some mercs !

[starcryst]

missed it. just saw "all other settings default"

i'll be lucky to get my first expansion province by turn 7. prob more like turn 8. anyone who sees me, kill me please. free capital expo!

Well the silver lining is Ind:7 should slow most everyone else's expansion too...

[HoleyDooley]

missed it. just saw "all other settings default"

i'll be lucky to get my first expansion province by turn 7. prob more like turn 8. anyone who sees me, kill me please. free capital expo!

Well the silver lining is Ind:7 should slow most everyone else's expansion too...

That message didn't reach Patala yet.

[parone]

no worries, im not giving up.

actually, on a crowded map like this, i think the high indies thing was a great idea. i just missed it and wrecked myself.

no problem, im the king of the 'last stand' anyway. when you stink, you get a lot of practice!

[FAJ]

I have to be out of town today and tomorrow for a funeral. I may be able to get turns in, but I have to ask for a 24 hour extension,please.

[starcryst]

missed it. just saw "all other settings default"

i'll be lucky to get my first expansion province by turn 7. prob more like turn 8. anyone who sees me, kill me please. free capital expo!

Well the silver lining is Ind:7 should slow most everyone else's expansion too...

That message didn't reach Patala yet.

And the silver lining to THAT is that it will make him a target if he's clearly the only person expanding quickly. :)

[Bullock]

As you can see on charts you are not the only one failing :)

Also a thief has stolen some of gems this turn !

[parone]

tien chi is making a sweeping, world wide announcement:

we shall no longer be known as the barbarian kings. we wish to be known as Tien Chi-the toothless little tiny turtle! if we are not referred to in this manner, we will bring all of our military might-that is to say, two archers and one crappy mage-against your nation!

by the way, does anyone have some turtle food that isn't too chewy?

[Evilhomer]

Tien Chi-the toothless little tiny turtle as they call themself have now started stalling (with less than 1 minute to go until hosting).

[Bullock]

great....

[parone]

i staled despite sending in my turn file not once, but twice.

once i got no response from llama(this a.m.) then i went to see if i had a new turn file i saw it was not in, and sent it again. i got a message that said there was no 2h file attatched-which, since i had just sent it, im sure there was.

oh well. sorry to make you wait. staling is never fun, but even less so under these circumstances

[parone]

homer, you are a dead man for calling us tien chi
one composite archer headed your way...

[parone]

man, this thread is dead dead dead. much as tien chi will soon be. Ulm is busy currently, but im sure they'll come back to stomp me into a lifeless corpse.

what is going on in the big world? is anyone at war? is someone dying? did anyone find anything cool?

tien chi(ooooops, i mean the toothless turtles) grows tired waiting for the the executioner's axe(or halbred or sword or magic wand) to fall...

[YellowCactus]

Okay okay okay....Ulm will pen you in for termination. Gee...we HATE pushy neighbors!

[parone]

LOL. why must kind words in dominion always be followed by treachary? but then, cactus, you are merely following my advice.

googbye cruel world.

[Bullock]

FYI

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...611#post814611

[parone]

that link aint workin bull

[YellowCactus]

Nice job repelling the Ulmish invasion Parone. The sixty five barbarian horsemen were a big suprize! What was the kill count? 85 ulmish Dead for about 6 Turtle archers? lolz...

[parone]

thanks for the update cactus-

i wouldn't know, as after the update, i cannot get dominions to work/boot. i am trying to fix it, but can't get my cd key(i deleted the email).

could i get a 24 hour extension while i try to fix this?

[HoleyDooley]

parone the key or serial number is locate din a file called 'key" in the main dominions folder. You can open it with the notepad program.

[parone]

thanks hooley. i got her runnin with some help from my friends...but

when i try to run slaughter, it tells me llamastandards must be enabled.

and while i have a llamastandards in my mods folder, it seems the game can't see it. any ideas?

[YellowCactus]

I would delete it and reinstall...the mod.

[HoleyDooley]

I believe there are 2 standards as mods, but one is specifically called streamers and standards llamas version, make sure you have that one loaded.

I believe the folder and dm is actually called "llamabanners".

HD

[parone]

yeah hooley. i actually have those. oddly, i am in another game using them, and that game is just fine. but slaughter will simply not load.

i am so tech challenged.

[HoleyDooley]

Okay, try deleting the actual "slaughter" game folder, or just cut and paste it to your desktop.

Download the turn file again, create a new folder to put it in, but name it different to the one you were using before.

Then try using that one.

[parone]

no, the slaughter file is there, no prob.

when i try to play slaughter from the game, it says llamaserver.dm needs to be installed.

i have, in about 20 different ways, tried to install that into the mods folder now, and just CANNOT get the game to see it.

hmph.

[HoleyDooley]

No, delete the folder with the slaughter file in it.

Create a new folder, call it whatever you want, as long as its different to the folder you cant get working. Download the turn file again, throw it in the new folder, and try using that one.

[parone]

it is so typical that this would happen after cactus said i won a battle. i haven't won a battle(except vs indie) in about 8 months. and now i will probably never see it!

[Bullock]

Weird bug. I have postponed the turn for 48h.
Try to post on the forum i m pretty sure that some1 like GP can help u on this.

Thx holey for trying to solve this.

[parone]

will try hooley's theory tonight

[parone]

guys, soyweiser got me squared away. will get the turn in tonight, i think. bull, thanks for the extension though.

[parone]

finally got a look at my turn. cactus you are right, we won one!!!

unfortunately, the kidding is pretty much over, as you are moving your real army in now. and the barbarians attacked our interior. and the giants are moving in to our west.

for tien chi, there can be no victory...

[YellowCactus]

The only victory in Dominions is Enjoying the game with Friends!

[parone]

i agree. i was trying to sound cool, not complaining.

i guess i failed:smirk:

[HoleyDooley]

Easy Yellow, parone is definitly one of the good guys playing this game.

You two also share a common trait, you fight your games out to the bitter death. Hopefully this trait can become an epidemic!

Hats off to you both.

[Evilhomer]

I Will be needing 24 h extra on this turn

[Bullock]

postponed 24

[Bullock]

I'm looking for 5A gems trading for 8 D/W/N or 15BS.

Edit: Already found !

[YellowCactus]

I'm looking for a good time. Will buy dinner and breakfast...

[YellowCactus]

Lolz....So! I sprang a deadly trap beneath the sea this turn in 'The Storms'. Agartha was storming the castle. So I teleported in 3 awesome SC's and made a Gateway with my god. The god I'm using has the ability to allow her followers to breath underwater. So I bring 230 magic units along, mostly dragons and holy troops. This is going to be a slaughter!

My message report says the 3 sc's that came in drowned (I didn't give them underwater equipment...hehe)
In the battle, only 50 of the god's 230 magic units came (actually like 25 dragons). So!

If you want to fight under water...try not to slaughter your own guys by drowning!

[parone]

im figuring this was NOT in this game...

and that, by the way, is absolutely something i would do

[YellowCactus]

yea, that was in Talon gamed. I drown SO MANY of my guys. Agartha really has it made under the sea...

[Bullock]

Minor kitty can you tell us whats going on ? Do we need a sub ?

[parone]

hmm. i really thought i could make this war hard on you cactus. yet again, i appear to have overestimated myself(it's not hard to do)

[YellowCactus]

Parone,
Have no doubt, you have been the master this game. Our horses tremble at the thought of Egg Shen's approach! Next time you ask for an axe-man, I'm not stepping up! Great play man. And you are not out. Giants are mounting upon the border.

[parone]

ahhh, thank you. but you won't let me climb back into my hidey hole! i planned on being a real pain but three things happened

1) my complete suckiness with SC reared it's ugly head again(it was funny watching my fat man trampler gimp around the battlefield though)

2) you outguessed me on movement really well

3) you outplayed me

still, it was fun. and i plan on hanging on as long as possible

[Bullock]

still, it was fun. and i plan on hanging on as long as possible

Great that s the spirit :)
And you might become a pain the in the a** for Ulm if the giants decide to attack before you eat the dust.

[YellowCactus]

The Giants did attack...

Good thing this is a WAR game...or I'd be offended!

[Jolly Roger]

I´ll be on vaction, leave on the 19th and return on 22nd of December. Would be great if you could postpone the next turn until the 22nd.

Thanks, Klaus

[parone]

haha, an extension. see, im lasting longer already!

[Minor Kitty]

On the road for 48hrs or so, can we postpone?

[Bullock]

ok i postponed, and will try to remember for u 2 jolly.

[Jolly Roger]

Please postpone for additionally 24 hours and I can return the next turn late on the 21th of December.

Thanks, Klaus

[Bullock]

I'm planning, between the 24th Dec until the 2nd of january, to put the timer on 10days with quickhost. which means you don't need to request postpone and still can play asap if u can. Try to play as usual if u can please.

[Bullock]

can we have news from Minor Kitty & maliken ? Especially Maliken who has stalled the last turn and still doesn't have played the next one ...

If you have lost interest in the game can you please have the decency to PM me so i can look for a sub through this calm period?

[Bullock]

Game is back on track with 48h/turn

[parone]

alas, i am no more. gg all.

[Bullock]

ty for sticking to the end Parone.

[parone]

my pleasure.

hey, if anyone looking to jump in newbie game, we need a sub for Eriu over on the zinvisionfree forum. turn 20 newbie game. Eriu is in a war, but in a really good position, with tons of Hall of Fame Tuatha and a big empire.

pm me for more info or jump over the zinvisionfree.com and go to the game thread(riddle of steel)

[starcryst]

The Forges of Caelum are open for business and we are willing to construct magic items from almost any path except Blood in exchange for gems.

We have a limited number of master smiths available, so we'll forge items each turn based on which buyers make the best offers in terms of gems above construction costs. PM me if you wish to discuss trading.

[Evilhomer]

There is some problems with the train I was supposed to go home with and I will be delayed as a consequence. Can you give me an additional 12 hours please.

Cheers,
EH

[Minor Kitty]

I'll be traveling all tomorrow, I've already sent in this turn but can you delay the next turn by 24hrs?

[Evilhomer]

My turn is up - just waiting for utgård/Maliken now

[parone]

sent it in. should be good to go. shame utgard is AI, had lots to offer

[Bullock]

We are waiting for the 2 same people who have missed their previous turn.
So if we don't have news from them soon i'll turn pangaea AI and look for arco's sub.

[starcryst]

Thanks. It's getting tiresome waiting until the last minute for every turn.

[FAJ]

Sorry for the stale; I don't like to do that. I missed the e-mail for it hosting.

[starcryst]

I have several smiths coming available for forging items. Can do anything except for Blood items. PM me if you need something crafted.

[Bullock]

It seems that Arco alias Minor kitty was bored and turn himself AI. Thanks a lot !

[parone]

kitty isn't really covering himself in glory the last month or so...

[FAJ]

Was this turn force-hosted without me?

My turn 39 e-mail was received Sunday @ 8:24PM (EST)

It says: "The next 2h file is due in by 01:23 GMT on Wednesday January 16th."

But it hosted already, without my turn in, far earlier than the 48 hours. If we are moving to a quicker schedule, can the changes be made on llamaserver and the e-mails to reflect this?

[Bullock]

Yeah it was. Everybody had played their turn under 12h so i pushed forward cause u r slow and with only 1 province left. I'm not blaming u for stalling this turn ofc.

[FAJ]

Could you send me a message next time you want to force host? I am trying to play it out to the end and be fair.

[Bullock]

i wont force anymore if u are so committed

[Evilhomer]

Looking to trade for nature gems. Can offer any other kind of gems and forge material up to const lvl 6.

Send pm if you are interested in a trade.

-Patala

[YellowCactus]

Don't nobody be helpin' Homer! He's too dang good at this game already!

[Evilhomer]

We are a nation of cuddly monkeys armed with sticks and stones. Surely we are no threat to anyone :rolleyes:

Also we are now offering 130 fire gems that we have no use for. Willing to trade them for any other gem types on a 1:1 basis.

Cheers,
EH

I saw Planet of the Apes. I know what's really going on with all those "cuddly monkeys" :P

[FAJ]

Keep it coming, monkeymen! We're down, but not out.

[Evilhomer]

Do not worry, we will keep on attacking ;)

[Evilhomer]

Need 48 h extra for my turn please!

[Bullock]

sure its done

[Bullock]

What a slaughter EH ... I had nothing scripted, and wasnt expecting that.

And the result seems even worse than what have been recorded. You stole me a Zmey ? You haven't lost any Queen ?

What a tough blow :(

But very nice move, well played.

[Evilhomer]

Yeah I was waiting for that big army to move out actually. To answer your question I lost no airqueens, but one of the Rudras got infected with disease + 20% hp loss - probably from that Plauge lord. Initially that fight gave me some fright since I scripted one of the airqueens to cast wratful skies, but it did not want to cast it for some reason.

I feel it was due payback for all those soul slays and mind hunts that has succeded way to often :(

on another topic I will be travelling tomorrow so if possible could we have another 24h?

-EH

[Bullock]

Still, the fact that there is so many discrepancies between the record and the report is utterly frustrating.

And concerning soul slay & Mind hunt. If i remember well, i saw only one lucky soul slay on a water queen and only one successful mind hunt after like 5 tries on a lonely grendel. So now you owe me lol ;) or at least we are even ^^.Not to mention your summoned earth elemental who are always reaching my cap only mage in the middle of 10 common mages. And anyway i'm lonely versus 3 so it sounds fair for the luck to be on my side.

Btw timer increased by 24h for this turn.

[FAJ]

If it makes you feel any better, I continue to stick it to the monkeys every time they storm my capitol.

Still fighting the good fight over in Pangaea :D

[Bullock]

Apologies FAJ i forgot you while counting but not on the field ;) Well played, i saw you repelling Patala, it was nice.

I'll do my best to come back asap if not too late.

Death to the monkeys !

[Evilhomer]

Sorry could I have another 12 h to do my turn. Thanks

[Bullock]

Np, its done

[starcryst]

Bull - any chance you could let my Grendels out of the Inferno soon? Vacations in warm locations are all well and good, but they've been gone so long that this is getting ridiculous! :D

[Bullock]

Bull - any chance you could let my Grendels out of the Inferno soon? Vacations in warm locations are all well and good, but they've been gone so long that this is getting ridiculous! :D

You mean why is there still so many grendel running freely in your green pasture.

Btw i'm curious how many did come back ?

I saw the one who's wreaking havoc in ulm's land. Also i guess one named Ecus. Is that all ? If so 2 is still a descent number ^^

Do you enjoy seeing them fighting in the abyss ? :)

[starcryst]

Only 1 has come back from the Abyss. There are 4 Grendels and a Treant still up there, including both of my teleporting Grens.

Watching them fight is interesting, especially the one that's got the Sickle, but they need to come home now!

BTW - is the national mage you use to cast that spell cap only or can you recruit him anywhere?

[Bullock]

If i remember well boots & the rune help coming back from there. i'm not sure though.

Mages with astral are cap only. (black one)

[starcryst]

Well they've both been gone nearly 10 turns now, so not sure how much help boots & rune are. You'd think they'd be able to just teleport back immediately.

Thank goodness for those mages being cap only - otherwise I'd have no chance against you as all. Maybe I should just attack you with Elephants instead - that worked better in the last game :)

[Bullock]

It has to be known by the world that Yellow cactus didn't respect his nap treaty with some1 who is already struggling 1v3. So let it be 1v4 !

Ghoul31 would be amazed by this situation :)

Btw Yellowcactus, it's the worst non respect of a nap i've ever seen i think. You are Very very mean ;)

[YellowCactus]

What? We had an agreement. You pay me 8 gold and 1 water gem every year...

You didn't pay up.

Besides, your the one who picked a NON-Wrapping map and generously placed yourself in the middle.....hahahhahahah!

[Jolly Roger]

Cool down, mates.

Finally it´s just a game.

Klaus

[YellowCactus]

It's a WAR game JR, so it's okay to have a hissy-fit sometimes!

[parone]

this is no hissy. you gotta go to dom3mods for hissies!!!! ahhh, i miss you boys

[Bullock]

What? We had an agreement. You pay me 8 gold and 1 water gem every year...


The agreement was to keep the nap3 up. You still have to warn me 3 turns before attacking or remind me that i forgot to send the 8gold lol.

[Bullock]

Cool down, mates.

Finally it´s just a game.

Klaus

I am ! Just making some statement.
But it's another highway to the victory for EH ! who is always winning ! :)

[YellowCactus]

Be warned Bullock, I am going to attack you....two turns ago!

[Evilhomer]

Seems someone broke llamaserver.

[Evilhomer]

Can I have an additional 12 h please :rolleyes:

[Bullock]

sure, don't wry. it's done

[Evilhomer]

30 minutes until host and 3! persons left to submit. If you see this in turn Bullock maybe you should extend turn.

[Bullock]

Wow that's a lot of peeps.

If there is a big loss of interest for this game im willing to call EH Winner.

[HoleyDooley]

Apologies for stale...was away all day and thought I had time still to submit my turn.

HD

[YellowCactus]

I'm trying really hard to play! Dang turns are just quicker than me some weekdays! It's easier on the weekend...

[Bullock]

ok then i'm switching to 72h

[Evilhomer]

Seems Caelum has stopped playing ? find sub or set AI perhaps ?

[HoleyDooley]

That sucks...to say the least.

Sub to found if possible.

Can't wait to finish my current games and say goodbye to the shrapnel community forever.

[Bullock]

Starcryst can u give us some news plz ?

[Bullock]

Big thanks to pangaea, you are doing an amazing job lol.

Now concerning Caelum he has barely nothing left, his pretender is dead and most of his grendel are in hell. i think he has only one left. His army are composed of mostly wolf and longdead. Honestly there is not much to sub.

[Bullock]

extended 24h for mictlan who was about to stale.
I'm looking for some1 to turn Caelum AI.

[HoleyDooley]

Well turning Caleum AI means I now have to fight him as well as you.

No point in me continuing.

The ONLY solution was a substitute but having 3 stales and you kicking his arse in that time ....(I leave the rest of that sentence unsaid).

I'll turn myself AI as well.

[Bullock]

Well actually i fought him once since he is away and his army was scripted.

I ll look for a sub.

[Bullock]

Well, if i don't find a sub soon is everybody fine to turn him AI?

[Evilhomer]

Maybe give it 1-2 more days and then set him to AI.

[FAJ]

If he is in a dire position, I could set Pangaea AI and take over Caelum if thats a possibility.

[Evilhomer]

Caelum is unfortunatly AI already. Miclan is the one that is leaving now but folket should be taking over for miclan, atleast that is the current plan. Not sure if he has received the turn and all the info he needs.

[Bullock]

Yeah he contacted me today, he had issues with mods. Should be good now.

But thanks for offering FAJ

[Folket]

Hello!

I have looked at the turn now but did not have time to finish it. I will continue on it tonight. I will try to ask my way around some information I need. What nations are AI?

[Folket]

Perhaps the previous player can send a couple of turn files so I can see what I'm up against?

[Evilhomer]

Hello!

I have looked at the turn now but did not have time to finish it. I will continue on it tonight. I will try to ask my way around some information I need. What nations are AI?

Caelum were turned AI this turn, all other nations are still human or are defeated.

[Bullock]

well played folklet :)
I forgot i was removing the shock resistance with golden army and my ghost did poorly.

But anyway nice start !

[Folket]

Thank you for your kind words. I will make my best to not disappoint you in coming battles.

[Evilhomer]

Could I have a short delay ? 8 h would be sufficient.

[FAJ]

Pangaea is out! It been fun.

[Evilhomer]

Pangaea is out! It been fun.

Thanks for the game FAJ, impressive that you never gave up - Hope to see you in future games.

[Bullock]

Pangaea is out! It been fun.

Thanks FAJ the abysian community thanks you for what you have done ;)

I hope to see you in my next game.

[Evilhomer]

What happened to Ulm/YC ? Did we lose him or did he just miss his turn ?

[Folket]

I have not had time to play this turn. Could it be delayed 12 hours?

[YellowCactus]

You lost me. Sorry guys. Life has bitten my Dominions in the A$$. I've got to throw in the towel this round.

[Folket]

What happened, why is there over week for the next turn?

[Folket]

Sorry I now saw the post on the main forum. This is the only thread I read so it might be good to post news here.

[Bullock]

Yeah i have been looking for a sub and Ossa is the sub.

[starcryst]

Guys I wanted to apologize for going stale in this game. As a new player, I took on too many games at once and then real world stuff got in the way and I simply didn't have the time to stay on top of the games I'd committed myself too.

I should have come by when it became clear I couldn't continue and given you warning so that you could find a replacement. I won't make that mistake again as its not considerate of the other players.

Hope to see you all in another game.

[Folket]

I'm unable to play this turn before Thursday evening as I will not be home. Can you delay it until Friday morning?

[Bullock]

sure its done

[Evilhomer]

Något gick fel!

Some bug crashed our game.

[Bullock]

Well lets go for stale turn i guess.

So sad for all the micro ... lol

[Jolly Roger]

Sorry for staling this turn. Must have missed to send the file.

Weird...:confused:

Cheers, Klaus

[Folket]

It was not your fault. The game crashed when llamaserver tried to host. So all of us staled. You should have a email from llamaserver explaining it.

[Jolly Roger]

Thanks for the update, mate.

Cheers, Klaus

[Evilhomer]

Going on a long airplane trip, could we add another 24h to the clock ?

[Bullock]

done

[Bullock]

2nd crach in a row ... utterly frustrating considering the huge macro i did on both turns.

At this point i guess the game is dead... maybe we can try to send a blank turn to see if it's unlock the game ? otherwise call it a draw ?
But it's burden to do the same turn a 3rd time.

[Ossa]

Absolutly. I'd suggest we try and each send in a blank turn.

It's a shame becauese the game is so much fun right now:/

[Evilhomer]

Sad to see this happen - any chance we can rollback 2-3 turns to before thos happen?

[Bullock]

I heard it was pretty buggy to rollback once. So several times...

So blank turn or rollbacks 2x ?

[Evilhomer]

I guess as the host you could try force hosting and if that does not work try rollback.

[Folket]

I think we should send in a blank turn.

[Bullock]

Lets go for some blank turns then.

Can i have a confirmation of bogarus & Mictlan that they have already sent a blank turn plz ?

If this fail i'll go backward 3 times and see what happens as a last try.

[Jolly Roger]

Blank turn sent !

Klaus

[Folket]

Yes, I sent a blank turn.

[Jolly Roger]

Hi folks,

by blank you mean I return the file I receive without saving any changes ?

Otherwise, please explain "blank" and we could give it another try.

Cheers, Klaus

[Folket]

You have to open the game so a new 2h turn is generated. I do not think we should send the trn file back.

[Bullock]

Sry i should have been more accurate.

By blank i meant that you have to open the turn, end the turn and send the empty 2h file.
You two had to do that because you had already a turn in it with orders.

So folket you have to open your turn pick "redo turn from start" then "end turn" and send back the new 2h file.

[Folket]

There are no orders in the 2h file I sent.

[Bullock]

Game seems to be working

[Folket]

Yes it is probably one of the battle we are planing that is crashing it. Chances are good it will crash again now.

[Bullock]

With all those crashes and huge micro the game has become somehow a burden ... at least for me. So i'd like to get the general feeling from other players to maybe put an end to it.

Anyway, several turns were missing about 1h before the deadline so i extended for 48h.

[Ossa]

I'd definitly like to continue - even if that means I'd duke it out vs the ai.

[Jolly Roger]

Whatever you decide is OK with me.

Cheers, Klaus

[Evilhomer]

I am ok to go on. I will try to submit later today.

[Folket]

I failed a player moral check with all the crashes. But I will try to rally and get some turns sent in.

[Jolly Roger]

Gentlemen,

I´ll be on vacation from tomorrow to Tuesday 7th of May.

Please delay until I´m back on Wednesday 8th of May, GMT 11:00 am.

Thanks, Klaus

[Evilhomer]

Well I managed to get my turn up. Just waiting for folket and Bullock.

[Bullock]

Well the game seems definitely dead.

For some reason i thought it was me trying to forge the chalice that was making the game crash (i thought it was already up on a grendel who was in hell). But it wasn't.

It has been a very enjoyable game until the crashes !

[Evilhomer]

Yes the game seems broken. I vote for starting a new one.

[Folket]

Is it common that the game crashes in the endgame? I do not remember having these problems before.

[Bullock]

First time i see a game crashing repeatedly like that.

[Jolly Roger]

I vote for a new game too.

Cheers, Klaus

[Bullock]

I vote for a new game too.

Cheers, Klaus

I'm quite busy lately so i won't start a new game soon. Not before June i guess. just sayin' ;)
