So I guess the name of the game now is "adapt or die" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I'm not too worried till we see the second turn, and even then it just means there's a crazy fog of war http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Playing conservatively will be an understatement.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Heh, conservative, scouting-by-retreating, relying on immortals, or... I just don't know any word to describe those guys with gods claiming 20+ kills on HoF on turn 2. "Very confident". Let's hope normality ensues.

BTW, the status page is very cool. Almost addictive.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Yea, a user on here LCH made it awhile back and updates it every so often - it really is handy. I have a tab up at all time for each of the the games I play in! Just don't be toooo reliant on it. Sometimes it screws up (or rather I screw it up) so make sure and go by what the game says first.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

It is going to be harder to keep up with this thread than keep up with the game!

Blegh, scales bug. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

There goes my order and my growth... remind me to go turmoil/luck next time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I take this as a compliment.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

My god locked himself in the basement and no one has found the keys to let him out yet.

Starspawn 1:"Our most dreadful lord and master has locked himself in the cellar, and someone drew one of those damn elder signs on it, so I can't use my otherworldly powers to get him out!"

Starspawn 2:"Did you try tricking some hapless b-movie actor into daring to explore the basment? That works in all the horror movies. And our god can devour their soul when they release them as an aded bonus."

Starspawn 1:"Yeah I tried that, but they keep drowning. That's the problem with cheap undersea real estate."

Starspawn 2:"Well, keep the slaves looking for the keys I guess. Did you try the freezer yet?"

To summarize we are thinking about a 61 man alliance against LA agartha, want in shovah ?

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I made an offer to whoever is in the bottom left corner peninsula

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I think the only thing of value was people debating how much risk to take this turn with the bug and our general hope that it will be gone next turn.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I so wanted to just rush in, but I just can't do it. I hope it's fixed next turn, cause I hate having to send attacks blindly.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I don't know, I kinda like the 'flying blind' thing. Makes the game more exciting! Atleast, I'll feel that way until my monkey army stumbles upon a province with Trogs or elephants in it. Then I'll hate it.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Yea, i was wondering about the bug myself.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

It's the added fog of war penalty that all players will suffer for playing in a game this big and this fun. Start liking it. Or just pray that Velusion is right and it will sort itself out...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Well, since it impacts everyone almost equally, the bug is not *that* annoying.
I'll live with it.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Anything to give me an excuse for being the first out!

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Heh, that quote along with your avatar cracks me up.

Oops that was a typo. But still funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

To bring up another topic, who got the mercs? How much (you can give an estimate if you don't want to disclose your spending).

How much do you think the Villains will go for (probably have gone for by now)?

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

You can check who got them on the mercs tab. LA Ermor I believe.

I can't imagine the villains will go for very much. I never thought they were very good. But who knows in this game. I'd put my money on LA Ermor again.

Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

New turn is up, and everything looks good.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

First to make turn 3!

The bug is fixed (woohoo!).

LA Arcoscephale gets the mercs, interesting.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I noticed a few gods have bit the dust. I am guessing they fired magic missile into the darkness?

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I attacked first round and only lost 2 skin shifters http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I noticed the province north of the one I attacked had 50 troops filled with heavy calvary + infantry.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

It looks like, what with all the SC gods, there won't be much HoF love to go around...

But I AM glad I lucked out with a weak province on MY attack!

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

someone made a suggestion at some point (one of the wish list threads i think) where there would be a separate HoF for pretenders and one for everything else. Plus a bonus for pretenders on the HoF a la bonus ability. Doesn't make a ton of sense for most games, but it definitely would here.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Wahahahahahahahaha, I blindly attacked, and picked the only province surrounding me that had Heavy Cavalry, but survived! whahahaha hohohohoho I'm delirious with joy!

2 Mounted Commanders and 1 Priest routed. I was using blessed troops weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I am glad I did my normal "send commanders in to retreat" thing so I didn't have to do any worrying.

All praise King Dragon! Let us hope the rein of this Lizard King will be a prosperous one for us.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Everything looks good. My troops successfully managed to sit on their asses and do nothing. At least I can see my neighbors now.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Gee - either the devs, or the more vocal of their assistants, assured that all the nations could be played at once. I remember, "You just need a trivial mod to play them all" being said. My attitude was, "No, we have _fewer_ nations to choose from (in part because of the lack of themes)", but again, "it's okay - a simple mod fixes that".

You'd think it was american politics instead of indie game development. Feh. We have _less_ variety within a game, and more bugs.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Almost equally? Don't think so. Actually, it very much favors those nations like Abysia who essentially can't hire spies in the early game, since spies & scouts are worthless.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

two gods bites the dust, wonder it they were immortal or not...Anyhow the great dagon is still alive and kicking and now he knows what he is facing, seems the game is working http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

The argument is moot. The bug was around for one turn then disappeared. Lets move on...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

It seems, that my agression is progression strategy worked. The laughing stuff is that I got mercs for less then 200 gold. I was thinking that in a game with 62 players you need to bet a lot more, but then again, everyone tought the same, and did not bet, since they don't worth the price.

Offering for gold: S9; D3, N3 Anyone interested? Drop a mail to: bids@ctdd.ro
Thanks a lot.

Turn 3.
 

Up from the arctic depths of Time itself, the primordial Jotnar arise in anger to bring unto the world the wreak of Ragnarock.

Crops wither, brother fights brother, even the sun itself shall hide it's face in craven terror.

Sword time, crow time, wolf time...it has begun.

Russian roulette goes KA-BLAAM every now and then. Stumbled blindly into heavy cavalry province. %| ...next time...

Luckily I'm a wimp and chose an immortal, so be prepared to see Lodvathu, the god of MA Agartha, in the Hall of Fame 'till Kingdom Come! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

In a game this size a heroic ability will be a pretty rare thing indeed

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

w00t, i found the knights and defeated them, but it looks like i will loose a turn for reinforcements (duh)

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I don't think that an immortal who dies and is reborn is given a death. (seeing as they didn't... quite... die!)

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Turn 2 russian roulette report: woodsmen in the chamber, one druid for flavor. MA TC's mostly unaugmented opening army failed to humiliate itself. We are pleased.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Waiting only for Morkilus, so the next turn is at our doorstep. I guess it will host within a few minutes.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Probably impossible with this many people, but I'd love to get the first 3 or four turns done this weekend.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I am pretty sure that they given a death for the purposes pf the HOF.
