For the record, Ctis suffered a dominion kill, and has been eliminated from the game.

Rumor has it that the Agarthans in their attempt to aid the hapless Ctis Pretender who was afflicted with disease-went a bit too far with their aid.

The game is on a bit of a break until Monday to welocme a new baby, and perhaps a new player Gray Z taking over Arcos mighty empire for GM.

Let me be the 1st to welcome Gray Z to the game. Good luck feeding those elephants.
Thanks Xietor!

I guess it's bad timing that I inherited an elephant race while there is a post about elephants on the first page...

I haven't heard from GameExtremist yet, hopefully I get to talk to him before he leaves. Could everyone send me their status with me just in case?

I would be shocked if GM did not brief you. In any event keep me posted. If needed I can delay host until you are briefed, and in a worse case scenario, I can have turns sent to your email address and give you time to see what is going on.

Do you have the proper versions of the mods downloaded and the map?

I just checked all of the download links at the start of this thread and they are all still working. If you have not seen arcos elephant, you may want to make a practice game and test the mod and get acquainted with your Epic Hero.

He has a summon troop command, plus a strong unit that comes as a dominion summon(slow rate though). and only in a high dominion. Since a priestess rides in the basket on top of the elephant, he also has a "heal" command. That can be useful when your elephants need healing out on a war campaign.

Done.

You should be receiving the turn file shortly. The Llamaserver now has your address as the one to send arcos turn files to. So I am out of the equation.

Good Luck!

Default Re: Vote

At this point, I am proposing a vote of the 9 remaining players. Since this game is a test of the Epic Heroes Mod, as well as a mp game, I want to ban certain spells that can end the game through "magical" means, rather than the field of battle. To be fair, there will be a package vote on 4 spells

1. Arcane Nexus
2. Burden of Time
3. Utterdark
4. Astral corruption

To my knowledge there are no blood races, so 4 is likely not relevant. Arcane Nexxus impacts the 3 astral races equally, while the 2 death globals impact Shinuyama, machaka, and Agartha.

It is an all or nothing vote. A simple yes or no will suffice, but of course you are free to vent about how i should have had the vote at the start of the game etc. you are right. But this is the 1st multiplayer game i have administered(not counting 1 v 1 games), so patience is a virtue.

My vote is to ban the spells. 5 votes will carry the day either way. We have 9 players, so there can be no tie. Banning the arcane spell prevents rlyeh from just sitting in the water all game making clams and springing the game winning spell later on while the rest of us beat each other up.
