Eternal Knights don't fly - and they aren't really knights either, having neither horses nor lances. They are just very powerful infantry with flambeaus and (IIRC) they are ethereal.

If me and my brother were to use a different computer entirely to take our turns for awhile. Would that still be considered a Cd Key violation and our turn orders ignored? I am asking this because I suspect that me and my brother will not be able to use the desktop computer for a week starting on August 30th.

I do believe the server tracks CDkey violations by the following method: Two nations are checked for having uploaded from both the same IP, and the same CDkey. If you are the same IP and same CDkey, you are assumed to be one person playing two nations. If you are the same IP and two different CD keys, you are different people behind a NAT firewall. If you have different IPs and different keys, you are different people. If you have the same key, and different IPs....well, sucks to be you.

OK, here are the stats on the enternal knight, which is infantry and does not fly:

HP - 14
Prot - 12
Morale - 30
Magic R - 14
Str - 12
A - 12
D - 12
Precision - 10
Move 2/10
It also is sacred, has 100% fire resistance, and regenerates 2 HP per turn.

They are led by a powerful priest with the flambeau, which does 13 AP damage and also casts the holy pyre spell.

Not bad, and it would be nice if I could recruit those eternal knights there when I take it and build a temple. But I really doubt that will happen.


I have decided to attack it with my god and 8 archers in 4 squads, hoping to kill the priest with proper battlefield management and good scripting. Since there is only the one commander, I hope to get them to retreat by killing that leader quickly.

Of course, I could lose my pretender and be just like my neighbor Vanheim.

More likely, if it fails, I will lose my archers and the God will safely retreat.

you're counting on 8 archers to accuratly take out one target from accross the battlefield before an army of nasties takes them out?.. if you pull this off, that would definitly be something.


oh, and it seems half the players put in their turns after only an hour of quickhosting... sounds promising!

"Needs to respond" - I take it you sent him a message reminding him of the game, asking him wtf? Sometimes people forget about a particular game.

I personally sent him two pms. One was after the first stale and another after the third stale. The first pm was read but no response. The second pm has not been read still.

He has been doing his turns in another game we have him in but this one except for today when he staled in that one too. I don't know why he would stale 4 days in a row in one game but not in the other game until now. And he should of at least replied or something because he did read my first pm.
