New Kinda Noob game Starting - Page 8

If there is a river, on this map only bridges allow crossing of rivers. There is a very slight chance it is a bug, if so try moving to a different province instead.

On another note, this might be a short game for me! My entire army plus reinforcements died to a small number of independent archers, and there are two unrest causing events for me. I'll fight to the bitter end though.

Yeah, noticed the sharp drop on the graph, I figured something like that had happened. Bummer. That said, there are none too many rush nations among us, and from the graphs I'd say only 3 SC gods are out there (4 if Yomi's pretender is a Cyclops or LoP waiting on some gear). It's not over for you yet.

That being said, expansion with EA Agartha is always a pain. Well, everything with EA Agartha is a pain

but early expansion even more so. They say CBM made the stone hurlers very good once massed, but meh. I just can't get anything done with them or the rest of the dreck Agartha can recruit. Even the sacred giants can't hit the broad side of an aircraft carrier :/.

I'm pretty sure the province connections are okay and that's not the source of the problem.

May I request a turn extension while I try to figure this out?

Ragnars said Extension granted....He will start with 24 hours. Let him know if you need more.

So you did hit 8 and there is a yellow line to the province you want to move to?

If not could be a bug but usually this isn't the kind of bug that comes from a modded game.

He should be home (he only lives about 1000 feet from me) and have it extended by now.

I should stop being coy -- I have a flying SC pretender who as far as I can tell won't fly. It will only move to neighboring provinces.

I tested it with this map before and didn't have any problems, although I never ended up in this starting position before.

This SC pretender isn't leading any troops who can't fly I presume? The *cough* can also spawn undead and sometimes they are automatically assigned to the summoner in some cases. Otherwise I know its happened to me before (very rarely, twice ever, thankfully nothing critical) where some of my orders are never carried in a MP game...

It isn't a Turkey is it? Not good being a Turkey this close to Thanksgiving!!

Seriously, I had the problem in a SP game on one of Pasha's Maps. I REALLY REALLY hate to say this but I reloaded it making a new game and it worked fine.

Try everything you can think of and ask some people who are modders. I will extend if we have to, but with one getting his starting army knocked out and you having problems, I don't want this game to fall apart or get in it about 30 turns and have issues come up.

We (I don't even want to say it)may have to start over so everyone has a chance to finish this game in one way or another.

Most of us have started together and are learning from each other as we go. I don't want to leave anybody behind as I enjoy this group of personalities.

my only (

) problem is for once I actually got a starting location I like (well, I knew that was too good to be true. Dang Dominion Gods are screwing with me, so I say to them

Guys, we are on turn 4...we could have this up and running again quicker than we had to do the rollbacks and we lived thru that. I must say his is the most resilient group of players you could ask for.

I got no problem with restarting if some players have issues with bugs, or if Agartha feels bummed out by his start. I'm really not competitive by nature (least not in the "f*** you I'm winning" sense of the word) and I wouldn't want to take advantage of bugs, or other players not having as much fun as I am.

No way would I want to restart! So what if all the Pale Ones are dead and there is no money to be found in any of the rioting caverns? I'll make it work somehow.

I want this game to be a stepping stone for all of us to the next level. I feel like we have all joined and been brought along at the same time, and I certainly am not going to let a bug screw this up at turn 4. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that attackdrone will gut it out, or Mockingbird would live with it.

But at turn four there is NO reason WHY they should have too.

If his Chicken (Lol, sorry couldn't help it) won't fly this turn I say we start over...and to make it fair to all, you have a taste of what you need, we will allow new pretenders to be sent in (if you want to).

I am going to extend the turn 24 hours and if Mockingbird gets lift off we will continue, if not we will start over. I just want to make sure whatever problem it is is fixed.

Sound good to everyone? I would like to hear from everyone with their opinions.

BTW, quickhost is still on aand I will be the last to send a pretender so you have time to let your feelings be known...honest opinions please....
