Admins can delete pretenders... we might want to consider this if Ermor doesn't make himself known.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (Beginning--No More Open Spots)
 

Ulm is ****ing terrible for three reasons

A) They have no diversity in their armies. Sure the heavy infantry in heavy plate is a great infantry type.. but that it's. It's one type. Many other powers would touch themselves if they could have it in their armies as well.. but that's as well.

And unlike say, Abysia's flaming magma men, they are not great enough to carry the team by themselves.

If Ulm has some sort of super sling rock spammer unit or something that synergised it would be good, but ulms ranged units are highly armour peicing which makes firing into melee super dangerous.

B) All teams with ****ty mages just have great MR out of the box. Ulm has ****ty mages.. and ****ty MR.


C) Ulm's mages are really crap, and the unaffected by drain dominion thing does not compensate for it. Like, at all.

Any one of these issues would make a race small in the pants, but it's really bad when you have all of them.


Bandar log are actually really good. Their high level summons are ****ing awesome. Rudra's are arguably the best value SC chassis going around - Mandehas are sweet as well.

Standard operating procedure as Bandar log is to try and pile up clams to get a huge pile of astral gems and then convert these into really hard hitting SCs in the late game.

They are a bit weak early on, but if you can muddle through the mid game your late game is awesome. It's actually really ****ing important to smash Bandar Log right in the face before they get the clam -> Pearls -> Rudra thing going.

@Colonial
Found the Delete Pretender button and used it on Ulm.
You can now resend an Ape Pretender.

And posted Link to the Forum...

I will play around with this barrel of monkeys this evening.

sounds like I went from 'attack him because he's easy pickings' territory to 'attack him before he gets too goddamn powerful' territory...

Korwin: You should use the "Send Message to Players" link on llamaserver and send out something (it may come to all of us, but no harm in that) saying that, since this is a noob only game, Ermor is deleted, but if the player is indeed a noob, he can post to this thread, make himself known, and then get Ermor added back to the game before we start. Otherwise, we may have a wrench in the gears ;)

I have Domenje's Marignon file from when I was going to be the host. I emailed him asking if it was ok for me to post it to llamaserver for him.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (Beginning--No More Open Spots)
 

Send an Message to Ermor, then deleted him.
Good thinking earwicker7.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (Beginning--No More Open Spots)
 

I realized that sending domenje's pretender from my email address might cause all of his future turns to be emailed to me, so I just emailed him instructions on what he needs to do. Assuming he gets it in quickly, that makes us good to go, correct?

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (Beginning--No More Open Spots)
 

I think we may have another person wandering in from nowhere... anybody know who sent in the Man pretender?

This is one of the reasons PBEM was appealing lol.

You can change the email address turns are mailed too via llamaserver.
