Primea, newbie MA game (started)

[lch]

I don't think ComTrav would really need the extra time, but I am resetting the timer now.

[ComTrav]

Thanks, Ich, I've played my turns.

And AI Caelum has besieged Marignon's largest army with ten Holburg militia! Surely they mean to reclaim the capital. The Great Northern War continues. (It's fortunate that the AI tries to break sieges, as over a hundred fliers could hold up a fort extremely well.) I can't believe your pikeman downed my Bane Lord. Maybe Marble Armor was a better choice than Ethereal Robe.

Meanwhile, the Atlantis/Agartha war seems to be drawing to a decisive close.

The Forges of Ulm (TM) are now interested in nature gems, and will trade gems/forging of any other type for them.

I would be quite careful about giving Ulm nature gems, I smell tartarians.

No offense meant by that, just dont want them around yet.

[ComTrav]

...why would I need nature gems for Tartarians? (And certainly, research for some people is high enough that they could be running around with Tartarans now, as well.) There are certain nature items that are good for a thug/sc, but there are lots of other, less-impressive options than Tartarans.

Besides, Tartarians are getting nerfed soon anyway, although how much shattered soul will reduce their viability as an endgame tactic isn't clear yet. And we're certainly approaching the 'endgame', with several nations with very high levels of research.

[Ylvali]

I was thinking of gift of health, which combos with tartarians. But if you say it ain´t the plan I appologize.

EDIT: you´d also need nature gems for gift of reason, actually tartarians reqire much more nature than death gems. I thought that was the reason you wanted them.

I'm going to be out of town for the next week or so (until the 9th) and won't be able to play; given the server situation, I realize this may not matter. If we do manage to resolve the situation, I'm totally fine letting ich (or someone) play temporary sub for a few turns until I get back.

[lch]

The server is back up. Since it's about one month and a half after it went down, I'll ask very cautiously if people want to continue playing this game or if you have already moved on?

In case there aren't too many people who have abandoned this game by now, I'll restart it over the weekend.

[cupido2]

I'm still in.

I'm in China and I won't have any access to dom3 until the 9nth of August at least. Anyway, I wasn't in a very strong position so you could set me to AI.
