Ok, my turn is in, but it took about 20 tries tonight.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 3: Revenge of the Living
 

Emailed gandalf for a server restart, that should fix it

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 3: Revenge of the Living
 

Hey, come on now. We're about 70% to "??????" if you look at the number of lives sacrificed!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 3: Revenge of the Living
 

"I still think its caused by someone NOT using the Quit button on dominions to disconnect properly."

For anyone in windowed mode, this may be the cause!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 3: Revenge of the Living
 

ok I'll give you that one:), but those walls are going to break real soon so you'd better sacrifice the remaining 30 % as quickly as possible.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Pythium, don't you have better things to do than poisoning helpless birds?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Hi ulm, I think you wished you would have agreed with my NAP terms now don't you! :P

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

The war against Caelum is going well. I think. I haven't checked the turn file yet, but iRFNA doesn't sound happy!

The misfortune of my foes is like sweet honey on the bread of victory.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Well, I can hold off pythium easily enough. So I guess if I'm going down, out of the ashes will rise an incredibly strengthened niefelheim!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Lol to be honest iRFNA you are naling the topics of the game with those names:D A New Hope for Lanka:).And about the pervious ones, I got attacked by Ermor in the attack of the dead and then I attacked Ulm in the revenge of the living:D

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Hope for Lanka? What parallel universe do you hail from?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

lol well I can see him taking over your territories (3 in the last couple of turns) So I take that as a hope unless you are just lure-ing him into something

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Honestly, not worried about it... Lanka is really quite unimportant to anyone except Abysia.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Still can't connect. Can I get a 48 hour extension? Assuming this is a problem on my end and not with the server, I should have access to a computer that can connect soon.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

e-mailed gandalf to reset the timer

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Sent in my turn.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Vanheim and Fomoria: I applaud your curiosity but I decry your carelessness. Your scouts need some more training.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

My poor birds are helpless against the skinshifter hordes. Pythium and agartha, best to start massing some serious armies now, cause when niefelheim breaks through my borders like a chestburster, you're going to have a serious problem on your hands.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Hordes you call them. Why, I only have a single standing army. I think your birds are just weaker than you think.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Each skinshifter is worth a horde of birds :(

And I know you've got a whole lot more of those bastards in reserve!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

It it my fault your brittle bones snap so easily? If a skinshifter sneezes on one of your birds it dies.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Pythium is looking to trade earth gems for air gems, 1:1 ratio. Let me know.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Don't forget to take your turn R'lyeh!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Thanks I actually thought I submitted my turn already.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Pythium is looking for air boosters and air gems. I can trade boosters for other magic paths or gems for them. Let me know by PM.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Goes for this game as well.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Merry Christmas Admiral Aorta! AVENGE ME!!!!!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

hook me up with your air gems and soem death gems plz and thank you!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Bam! More than you probably bargained for.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

<3 you.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Gems sound good. I guess the monkeys were too much for you?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

It was a really interesting war lwarmonger I learnt a lot from it and even at point I thought I'd lose the war(espesially when you killed all my gandharvas).My people recognise you as a worthy opponent and it was a pleasure testing their skills to the limit. We will take good care of all the lands we take from you and make sure that your people continue their peaceful and happy life.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

I don't suppose you have some before-death gold you want to lay on me?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Yeah, those loss leaders were really good at soaking up my iron Blizzards. Once I had that researched I had wanted to hit all of your armies at once in the hopes that I could wipe out all your main forces and then roll you back (I hadn't gotten to Evocation 6 until after you destroyed my main army, so I had to wait until your sieges were in place)... sadly those individual squads in your main army largely negated all 17 iron priests casting iron blizzard. I inflicted casualties, but not enough to get to "?????". Oh well!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Nope... I've got a couple of turns left as long as I've got money. I plan to make Lanka work for what they've encircled (and probably not get it... I think my crippled empire can at least rob Lanka of what they are trying to take).

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Nevertheless I thought you did briliantly given the fact that your main goal was defeating ermor and your armies just werent created with me in mind.One thing though (of which I was scared) you could have raided me a lot with your stealthy rangers. Monkey pd plainly sux 15 of them would have been enough to take a proince in most cases and if you destroyed my economy I probably would have been in bad shape even if I could take over your capital.

edit: though I assume you didn't mass them because they are not nearly as useful against ermor.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Apologies Abyssia. Lanka's death throes managed to take a province from me, which thus necessitated some assisted euthanasia. Didn't mean to get your troops caught up in it.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

I'm quite capable of killing Lanka myself, thank you.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

To be quite honest with you, by the time you massed to attack me I was beginning my transition to a blood economy (without the research mind... that was all focused on getting to evocation 6 for Iron Blizzard, next up was blood once I had all of my counts harvesting blood slaves) and was running short on funds. I can produce a lot of rangers in an extremely short period with production 3, but when you attacked funds wise it was a choice between recruiting my one iron priest a turn per fortress (important for my planned iron blizzard spam)+max producing my undead guardians (whose black halberds were important for killing your blessed units) or going with a raiding force of rangers. Since all I really wanted to do was hold you off and then wear you down through attrition (which I thought I could do between iron blizzard and that huge army you destroyed at the outset)I decided to go the more conventional path. I just didn't have enough depth to fall back on, and was about three turns too late in researching.

Very well played though. I'll fight to the last!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

It will be a pleasure:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Because I promised I'd ask, and because I realize that people are starting to die in this game anyway, if anyone's looking for another newbie game I heartily recommend that you sub into FrolickingFledglings over in the other forum for LA Atlantis. They're a leading nation, yada yada, the relevant details are here.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Can't connect again in 7+ tries, will need a reboot to access game again @.@

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Last night I was freezing on "waiting for game info" and this morning I'm getting "failed to connect".

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Yea, couldn't connect to any game this morning either.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

I think the server was down for awhile this morning; I couldn't get to the list of private games to check them, anyway. It seems to be working now.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Prepare to be annoyed to death, niefelheim!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

Sorry about the delays guys, I had thought I had nothing left. I logged on to set myself to AI

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
 

I know right? I thought I was done too... once Bandar Log finally gets around to it I probably will be. Still have three fortresses left!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 4: A New Hope
