Jotunheim Thx.

[PsiSoldier]

MA Ermor please

[tigercub]

Abysia thx

Med experienced.

[Ragnarok-X]

[ghoul31]

[Bullock]

@starcryst & Tigercub : You are in if no more experienced players are showing up 'til tomorrow night.

Game is up for pretenders.

[Bullock]

we are waiting for ghoul & ragnarok and it's a go.

[Ragnarok-X]

Just for the record, can we change the map to something that is actually balanced ?

[Bullock]

alright pick a map

[Ragnarok-X]

For 7 players, i would say land of etheral squirrels. It might be a tad too many provinces, but thats the best i can come up with.

[Bullock]

Alright, never tried it & it sounds good.

Here is the link

If some1 hates the map let me know.

[Ragnarok-X]

Not quite.

http://www.llamaserver.net/mapModBrowser.cgi

pretty much down at the list is a map called "Land of Etheral Squirrels" with fixed starts for 7 players. That one.

[Bullock]

Indeed! Its updated

[PsiSoldier]

Unbelievable.. A second turn bad luck event when I have no misfortune scales... I almost may as well go AI already.. Geeze

[tigercub]

i have a good hand in that deparment aswell, first and second turn hurrican was one of the 2.it can get worse :hurt:

[Ragnarok-X]

Chill. Considering its Indi 7, its no big deal. In addition, unless you got a horde of Barbs or Knights on top of your capitol, everything is cool.

[PsiSoldier]

Well on top of my second turn bad luck event my only commander good for expansion goes and gets.... Heroic Stupidity!?!?! Now the dumb ****er cant even lead any troops Hahaha this is just not turning out to be my game lol...

[Bullock]

Tigercub seems to have vanished. He has staled previous turn and was about to do it again. So i'm starting to look for a sub ......

[Immaculate]

heroic stupidity on a thug is awesome. even a battle mage. a commander- not so good.

[Bullock]

i'm pleased to see u Imma, u know that ;)

But i don't understand what u mean

[PsiSoldier]

Heroic stupidity gives increased Morale, Magic resistance and Attack skill.. But it lowers all Magic skills And most importantly decreases Leadership.. So to have on your only starting commander for a game really blows..

[Bullock]

Yeah i meant why this ascertainment here ? :)

I thought he wanted to sub lol

[PsiSoldier]

He was commenting on my post about my starting commander getting Heroic stupidity...

[Bullock]

Aaah alright i missed your post. Nvm then

[Bullock]

great ! Try to post something here to warn us next time if possible

[Ragnarok-X]

Agartha is looking for a sidekick in wiping Jotunheim from the plane.
I offer a considerable amount of gold (3k) and a vast (!) chunk of my gem-filled vault to the nation that kicks some giant bud. I prefer it to be either Van or Pythium.

[HoleyDooley]

Nothing like an early 1 on 1 fair fight hey Rag?

Graphs show we are fairly evenly matched, but sure call on a 2nd or 3rd party
to make it even fairer hey.

That won't be me... i'm pretty ... busy :D

[HoleyDooley]

Well after the last turn, now he has a legitimate reason to call for help.

But certainly not before hand. I don't have superiority in troops but certainly in positioning.

[Ragnarok-X]

Oh, no worries. This game went to hell earlier alrdy. I got a kraken king event way back and it killed 20 of my guys and my hero. then you jumped me with your draco and my guys couldnt hit it because even 25 PD does not provice a priest for Agartha (hint: with a priest, my guys would have had +4 morale).
So. lol.
Then i decided to run for your capitol and offer my whole ressource stockpile to whoever wants it.

[Bullock]

Your Shrapnel's mailbox is full PsiSoldier.

Doesn't mean i was trying to contact you for any purpose ;)

[Bullock]

postponed 12h for tigercub who was about to miss his turn...

[tigercub]

canot send message to you psi coz your indox is full!

[starcryst]

canot send message to you psi coz your indox is full!

Yeah Psi - trying to message you and can't. :P

[Bullock]

What a popular dude :)

[PsiSoldier]

i just wiped my inbox

[Bullock]

I'm dead already :( trampled by some elephants i didn't see coming.
Sad sad story ...

Anyway is there some1 who feel like taking the hand over the admin duties ? If not, i'll keep it don't wry.

[HoleyDooley]

I don't have access to the forums from work, so I could miss an extension request. Thus I have to pass on admining.

[Ragnarok-X]

Agartha has been banished from the Realm.

[PsiSoldier]

I can take over admin if you like. never have been admin before so im curious about it.

[Bullock]

Ty Psi you are the admin now.

hf everyone.

[PsiSoldier]

Well this promises to be an interesting turn. :D

[tigercub]

no cancel nap3 psi? i am AI now!

[PsiSoldier]

We never had a NAP.. You never agreed to it. That was conditional upon you going to war with Caelum with me in the beginning and not only did you not take that offer but you informed Caelum of my intentions... So there never was a NAP

Not only that but you replied to me that you couldn't allow anyone even an Ally to have a province next to your capital and I never gave that back to you so I was always expecting an attack.

So don't sit there and accuse me of breaking a NAP that we never had.

[starcryst]

Wow, turns taking forever now. Really interesting end game Psi. Looking forward to see what you have planned.

[tigercub]

[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;815665]We never had a NAP.. You never agreed to it. That was conditional upon you going to war with Caelum with me in the beginning and not only did you not take that offer but you informed Caelum of my intentions... So there never was a NAP.....
a misunderstanding on my part (quote).

Obviously all this would include a NAP 3 or whatever you like as well.

I would however still like to formalize an alliance of some sort with you and begin a campaign against Caleum if you are up for it.
[11:25:54 AM] vonblast: as far as i was thinking that was a nap as i did not finalize it with a yes.

i stand corrected

merry christmas

Tigercub

[PsiSoldier]

Yeah. Sorry for the confusion though...

Merry Christmas!

[PsiSoldier]

Starcyst yeah I'm having fun. Glad you are too. I am still learning the differences between normal dom3 and cbm so its my first end game with cbm too. Actually its not as bad as I thought it would be. I kinda miss the options that a huge pearl farm would give me at this point but on the other hand not having to worry about creating a pearl farm allowed me to take an imprisoned pretender with good scales so I'm almost thinking it was more fun with cbm

[PsiSoldier]

By the way did I just accidentally violate our nap this turn or did you gate that army in with the gatestone I saw on your commander? Ill go back and look at the previous turn but I'm pretty sure it was abysia I attacked...

[PsiSoldier]

Starcyst I changed the hosting interval in case you need more time. we have been doing really well at keeping the game going fast but I just doubled the hosting interval in case you need it..

[starcryst]

Gatestoned him in. Wasn't your fault.

[starcryst]

Thanks. I'm off all week, so I'll be able to keep doing 1 to 2 turns a day.

[PsiSoldier]

Ok the six turn NAP has expired and attacks may be scripted this turn.

[starcryst]

Well played game Psi, I concede.

I made to many mistakes in the end game. Had very little idea what most of my guys were capable of since this was my first MP game and I kept getting my SCs killed and having to reforge all the unique gear and resummon them.

Took too long for me to start properly using my death mages to control your armies as well.

Probably the worst thing was that Van fought me to the bitter end and I was never able to release my troops from his region while both Jotun and Abyssia went AI the moment you attacked them. If they'd have fought you as hard as Van fought me it would have been a much more balanced end game I think.

But you had the better strategy and execution. Nice game.

[PsiSoldier]

Yeah it was fun. Thanks. Good game

Don't know if you ever got into blood but I was about to whip out a big astral corruption which I think would have surely ended it.
