Klatu went into Tien Chi to check if he could turn him into AI and Klatu can. We are probably like 99% chance going to have to turn Tien Chi into AI but Klatu is going to give Drool some more time to respond.

Perhaps this was as a result of Klatu opening it up?

I am glad we might have an AI rather than a forced host - both are distorting but AI is probably more fair to those not nearby - it will lose but willl fight.


Oh and since the game is 24 hour host people are entitled to take 24hrs. Of course staling canels this right.

It would be nice to play a game with a blitz phase - several turns on one day every so often but it proved hard to arrange with our other newb game. I guess it would be easier to manage if you start one up with that as a criteria then everyone knows in advance & commits to it. eg 168 hour quick host except on thursdays 2100 until 0000 GMT when its 20 minute quick host.
This would be like a regular weekly FTF game rather than a PBEM!

A problem is time zones of course.


Hmm anyone intereseted in something like that?

Yeah that would be interesting but can everyone get together at same time to do the blitzing is the hard part.

And about drool...he was not only staling 4 days in a row...he was doing his turns in other games so wtf. If he didnt want to play this game anymore or something he should say something instead of playing his other games and staling on this one. He needs to respond soon before he gets turned into the AI.

I read your post again pickles and see what you meant. It would be interesting to start a game with a set blitz time so only people able to do it would join the game. It is an interesting idea that would be fun to do.

Check this one out for a neutral in my territory:
"The province contains about 100 hostile units. The army consists mainly of Heavy Infantries, Knights, and Eternal Knights."

Any guesses on just how darn long this place will remain independant? And this is with indy set at 6!!!

NP it's probably only scouting inaccuracies and there are only 50 knights (cough).
hhm - any idea what an eternal knight is? Sounds bad but you may get to recruit it.

Some of those reports can be misleading - hoburg with a devil - means 1 devil per turn. Druids can mean Darkvines which are really bad news.

ouch those hoburgs with devils are so scary
any blood mages in indi provinces are evil because they often summon hordes of imps so always the option for a lucky magekill

some indeps are really evil .
between me and pickles in newbie game 1 is an indy province with a golem leading living statues + gargoyles .
also we are at about turn 35 the province is still independent . neither pickles nor i have dared to attack it still

i guess your province is a good candidate for a similiar destiny panther

I think an enternal knight is those flying power dudes who come with the mercenary Orion. I believe they cannot be recruited, but at least I will get ordinary knights there if needed.

I may attack with a scout and see exactly what they are. If he is unable to retreat because they do fly, then it is not a big loss that way. And if I do this, I will post the stats of those guys in here for all us newbies.

But yes, it is a candidate for staying neutral a long time. Unfortunate for me because I plan to put a castle in the adjacent province at some future point.

And it was 70 the first time I could see it, so there ought to be less than 100.
