MP Game - European War

Welp, I don't know what's happened, but as of turn 55, my empire has disappeared. All my units are gone, I got lots of battles with bad VCR headers, a few provinces seem to be under the control of R'lyeh

and the game seems entirely fubared. Did this happen to anyone else?

Don't know. I can't get through to the server

Ahhh... I thought you'd say it was C'tis fault

I can't even connect to the game, so I don't know what's happening

Crap. It looks like there was a collision between the two games I'm running on this computer. I had a similar thing happen in a different game that I was playing in a long time ago. The games are probably not recoverable, and I apologize for not having a recent backup.

Hmm. Well I guess that's it then?

Truper · #6 February 9th, 2005, 09:17 PM

I guess it is.

Had the game gone on, I think it would have been C'tis'. I think we could have an interesting discussion over the relative usefulness of late game Death gems vs. all others.

I for one think Tartarian Gate should simply be removed from the game. [Dons flame-proof suit]. In a game about Pretenders, being able to chain-summon Pretender-class units just doesn't make much sense.

I think I agree

I think I agree here too

death gems are good

There's no hoarding method to get them though. So their usefullness is somewhat balanced by difficulty of obtaining them. And Well of Misery didn't have to stay that long. Can you say wonders of C'tis diplomacy?

Tartarian Gate or Gift of Reason? Non-commander tartarians are not that dangerous. In another game I played, which lasted into the late game, Tartarians were the weapon of choice for everybody. Funny thing was a Wish-wars for The Chalice

I agree, C'tis was in an excellent position to win. Had Zen not dropped out though, that might have gone differently. He was a much more dangerous neighbor for alexti than I was. Especially after Caelum and Marignon attacked me. There was no way I could be anything but friendly to C'tis after that.

I figured I was doomed from the start since I was right in the middle of the map and everyone would hate having me as a neighbor. I'm just pleased that when the attacks finally came, I didn't get completely steamrolled.

Getting the Soulstone of the Wolves off of some AI Pangaean troops was fun. Marignon in particular seemed to be having trouble dealing with my Calls of the Wild.

Killing off your wolves was a nice change from all the undead. It's a pity the game stopped, I was just getting my summoned troops moving and getting the hang of Caelum. Still.. I agree the C'tis is the most likely winner.
