Re: Defeat
 

Well, as long as you run the turn before May, I won't need to get a sub to watch my final battle.

Ugh
 

The game hosted after I reset it from time to time and I staled. I'm sorry, I'm being swamped with work at the moment and the remaining time goes into managing my other games. But I promise that I will play my turn today before I go to bed and rerun the turn again then. I should probably look for a sub instead of always holding off you others like that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Ugh
 

If it helps, Ich, I'm okay with you taking your time. I sign up, and sub, for so many games partly in anticipation of delays (but mostly for the same reason fish have so many children...).

Re: Ugh
 

Okay, I have finished now and uploaded my turn. Please delete your savegame folder if you grabbed the previous hosting. Sorry for not completing this before the 1st of May, vfb.

New turn?
 

I got a message saying that a new turn was up, but that didn't seem to be the case when I checked.

I'm slow as [censored], I know... sorry. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

The server is down. More here: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=610156

Re: New turn?
 

I think if that's the case, I don't have a problem just declaring Caelum the winner.

Re: New turn?
 

I really feel bad for making you guys wait so much, so I really would appreciate if we could just call the game over. vfb has convinced me that it would be pretty much impossible for all of you together to prevent me from winning, but it will still not be an instant win, it would take me many turns. I can just toy around, though. I forged the Gate Stone last turn (yes, even with the Astral Corruption up) and my plans for the coming turn was to show Bandar Log how devastating a powerful Master Enslave can be to his large sieging army, composed of lots of mind-impaired monkeys. I planned to do that for a long time, but forged some goodies first like Slave Matrices and Banner of the Northern Star.

I'd give the whole game away to download together with the master password so everybody can have fun playing out the endgame himself, too.

As I wrote before, I must admit that the game became too cumbersome to manage for a minmaxing perfectionist like me.

Re: New turn?
 

Yeah... if the server's down, I'm happy to call it over and declare Caelum the winner. I know exactly what you mean re: cumbersome mop-ups (isn't that the story of every single-player strategy game? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif).

Re: New turn?
 

Guess you'll have to start a new game, Mind Elemental. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New turn?
 

Okay then. Good playing and good behavior has won Chod-- I mean Ich -- the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: New turn?
 

Hah, so you managed to finish the game then? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Congratulations Ich. I'd say: well played, but I really have no idea of what you did, so I'll leave it at the assumption that you did something right. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

What turn did the game reach in the meantime?

The End
 

If anybody is interested in the game files, then I can bundle them up, the server is back now. Thanks to all who have participated and sorry for the abrupt end of the game again.
