Newb Network EA Aran (Full and Playing)

[vfb]

The Nation of Marverni thinks that the war for Aran was probably decided about 6 months ago. However, we are continuing the fight against Vanheim just in case Ermor and Mictlan would like to see their conflict through to its final resolution.

If you are all bored, though, now might be an good time for everyone to surrender to Vanheim.

Completely ooc, but I'd like to thank you for hosting, vfb - it's been a very fun game. It'd be nice to have another turn or two, as I'm finally going to break the long term siege that Mictlan has been hammering me with - for better or worse. Will be a fun battle to watch.

Nice job Vanheim, and if you'd like to have another game with the same crew, etc. (perhaps with a different map), vfb, count me in if possible.

Yeah its been a fun game and thanks for the host. If you throw another I would love a spot. I have to give it up to Ermor for countering my jags nicely.

[vfb]

Thanks! I'm glad you've enjoyed the game. I'll have to PM Eressil3 and K to see if they are interested too, since they may not be following this thread any more. I think everyone contributed a lot to making it a very fun game.

I will leave the server running until everyone decides they've had enough. Marverni is only likely to be alive for another month, possibly two.

The next game I will host is likely to be using the CB mod:

And I think the map I will use will be Parganos (Edi's Fix):

What era are you interested in? I'm just finally beginning to understand EA, and I've only played MA once.

Edit: tromper doesn't like Parganos ... at least according to the Utterdark MP thread. Any suggestions for a different map? How many people want to join? Is anyone from the first Tyrande game reading this thread?

Edit again: Looks like 3.07 will be done soon:

I'll hold off on hosting until 3.07 is done, and if *heim/glamor have been adjusted at all, then I'll also drop the CB mod plan too.

Well, I'm not bored yet, but I won't turn down surrenders if that's what people want

I was going to be away for a long weekend anyway, leaving after work Thursday, coming back late Monday. If we can get in a couple more turns before then, it might be a good time to stop?

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'd won 6 months ago, but I've certainly got Marverni on the ropes now. You'll be alive for more than two months, but I should have your forts under a siege you won't be able to break. If I can then focus on Mictlan, I should be able to win fairly easily.
Unless Ermor has something game-winning up his sleeve. He's got half again my research.

Mictlan has at least one Ice devil, which has me worried, but I don't think he has the blood income to push too many more out, while I should start to summon Air Queens and Earth Kings within a few turns.

[vfb]

Marverni is just waiting for our invulnerable hero Obelix to come along and thrash the lot of you . He's certainly taking his time showing up though.

I'll keep the server running while Vanheim is away, it's not on a timer or anything. We can either pick it up again when he's back, if there's no more unfinished business, move on to something new. Maybe 3.07 will come out by then too.

[thejeff]

Well if Obelix shows up, I will have to surrender. Though he really should spend his time fighting Ermor.

I'm interested in another game. Less so if it's CB, mostly since I haven't used it enough yet and won't have much SP time to experiment. I wouldn't want Vanheim again, though.

Maybe MA? It would be kind of fun to play through all the ages with roughly the same group.

I don't know about maps. I would prefer staying about the same size. Maybe a few more provinces per player to slow down the rush, but the same number of players?
