Re: Krynos\' head
Wel fought to you as well! I thought I was toast there for a while. Turns out that you need to net down a giant before you teach them to love picture books. Apostacy is my new early game MVP. Espicially when backed with communions.

Okay, turn postponed by 60 hours for Independence Day. It'll now host 19:40 GMT on Monday.

Triton Kings Communique
Despite having allied themselves with the nasty Aboleth, the MA Oceanian Capricons have been badly defeated in combat by our fierce Triton Knights. The battlefield of Soth Dagod ended covered with the pityful remnants of several dozens of Ichtycentaurs and a mummyfied bollock presumably lost by Baalz the false God while dodging the incomming attacks of his pursuers. He endured nevertheless a sever punishment and shall now be known as The Kicked *** One. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
The forecoming generations will remember our heroes for long. Our troops also went to siege an Aboleth castle and are heading now towards the Capricorns capitol. Since the underhand Baalz also said Half the Lich meanly invoqued a Plague on the Nacred Towers of our capitol, we here claim that every nation willing to help us against the Dark Forces still gathering under the Sea, every nation said I will be welcome and his willingness and donations to EA Oceania will truly be remembered for the Eons to come. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Herode, the Voice of Abou Yabesse the Big Fish. |
Re: Triton Kings Communique
Is MA Man the death match reward organizers?
Yomi are only interested in paper money and souls of the dead. We might send gems to said nation when the gate to the underworld is eventually closed, in order to get more competition in the arena. Would this disturb the organizers of the championships or is it in accordance with current ideas. |
Re: Triton Kings Communique
Yep, MA Man are the death match rewarders - please donate!
One thing that would be really awesome for a patch, KO, would be making the death match prize better. It would be great if everyone was frothing at the mouth to win it. |
Re: Triton Kings Communique
I am really looking forward to the 1st death match in Kingmaker!
First time I have ever said that about the death match. Shame I have no champion as yet. |
Re: Triton Kings Communique
Oh, internet has been found even in the most rural of settings!
Quick update, not that anyone cares, but i will be doing my own turns. So diplomacy can be directed towards me even on my family vacation. Note to Yomi: The Sybils' foretell that a champion from LA Arcoscephale will win the arena event. To eliminate middle men, and to save wear and tear on demon wings, Yomi can just send the Champion's purse directly to Pathos, Son of Titans, care of LA Arcoscephale. |
Re: Triton Kings Communique
Okay guys, we are back on 48 hours again. I hope those of you who went on holiday had a nice time.

Re: Triton Kings Communique
The war between Lanka and LA Pythium has begun in earnest now. Battles have been won by both sides, but the mighty Lanka host remains uncommitted. And though devout Pythium is outnumbered and outgunned 20 to 1, our mighty Hydras show no fear. They have never been defeated, and their tiny minds do not understand the concept of "hopelessly outnumbered". They, we think, will fight to the death. Hopefully, that is to the death of many demons.

Re: Triton Kings Communique
The war between Arcocephale and Maverni savages has come to an end.
After losing their capitol, the remaining red haired natives, their last druids and their enchantress queen returned to the forests where they gathered all their tribe (about 50pd) and defeated a big Arcocephale army last month. It was then decided to let them live in the wilds. Unfortunately for him the ME Caelian king, unaware of the big reunion of the Mavernis, and foolishly aggressive against Arcocephale decided at this moment to try an invasion and contest the control of this last Maverni province ; he was so confident in his chances of success that he declared war to the peaceful ambassador of Arcocephale. Of course, mammoths didn't stand a chance against astral mages, be them astrologers or the last mavernis druids. Caelum lost badly, both in his attack against Arcocephale and trying to take the Mavernis reserve. Astrologers now predict a very bad future for the bird men. |
Go Big Blue!
It was shaping up to be yet another disappointing season for the Giants: all forts sieged, all armies decimated, all playoff hopes dashed...
...that is, until Head Coach Kauthuga pulled a rabbit out of his hat, calling up 3rd-string reserves from the MA Jotunheim farm leagues. "Yeah, the defense has been pretty lackluster lately, and the offense...well...lets just say things were better before Barack went on the permanent DL," Coach Kauth said during a press conference in the besieged capital of LA Utgard. "But we've turned it around. This Giants team is united and ready to go. I mean, you shoulda seen them new MA Jotunheim boys smash that dollar's worth of PD...smashed 'em REAL nice," said Kauth, salivating noticeably. However, weary fans are already predicting a disappointing ending to this Giants rally. "I don't care how good Orm is," said one drunken season-ticket holder, "them Giants is ALWAYS gonna play a smashmouth game, and guess what...it ain't workin'." Will the MA Jotunheim boys be able to turn the G-Men around? Or will the decision to leave their vast frontier protected only by their notoriously crappy PD - while 90% of their forces are concentrated in province 734 - ruin their playoff dreams? Stay tuned sportsfans! |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Well the Giants are certainly known for having fan base of back seat coaches who complain about Utgard “leaving its vast frontier protected only by notoriously crappy PD causing Coach K no end of heartache. What are the alternatives Coach K asks – spreading expensive troops to patrol against Sidhe raiders, boosting the PD past 1, or getting blinded expensive werewolves on the company payroll? Useless and wasteful in all cases. No, better to send our troops to conquer other lands to stock up for the day that the inevitable and annoying Sidhe raiders sprout up like weeds.
Anyway, Eriu’s neighbors would be wise to strike down this foe, with his ever increasing research and access to Utgard’s gem horde (you can find him out of order on the lower part of the score graphs – another bit of elvish trickery) This treacherous foe shall soon be a serious enemy. His Sidhe are probably already trying to woo your women and staking out positions in your forts while he stalls and stutters his NAP negotiations with you as he did with us bumbling backward giants. Act now while he is spread out across Utgard and you will save yourself serious headache and marital problems down the road. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif -Coach K |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Wooing our women?
The proud women of Gath would never stoop to copulate with uncouth barbarians who don't even trim their genitalia. |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Er, the only genitalia trimmers we've met are eunuchs fleeing from EA Arcoscephale...

Re: Go Big Blue!

Coach K,
I hope you give the MVP award to that lone blind berserking Woodsman. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon09.gif[/img] http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Seriously, this auto-rout nonsense is absolutely absurd. |

He is a national hero and symbol of the indomitable Utgardian spirt.
I could say the same thing about absurdity of Eye Shields. I mean they basically have ruined my nation. |

Re: Go Big Blue!

Re: Go Big Blue!
MA Ulm has no fear of Eye Shields, as almost every MA Ulman is near-blind from the visors to the helmets they wear around the clock anyways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
But in other news, the Bank of Ulm has withdrawn back to the borders of Ulm proper. Only LA C'tis ever bothered to actually withdraw any money. And I want that money back, please (though interest isn't necessary, it would be nice). No one, surprisingly, withdrew any gems. Obviously no one trusts the newb. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif Also, if anyone cares, a new order of Black Knights has been created after the Mictlani massacre, headed by Anonymous the Black Lord (not to be confused with Anonymous the Head Banker, Anonymous the Voice of Monny, or any of the other disturbingly numerous Anonymous Anonssons in Ulm). Alarik the Black Acolyte has recovered from watching an entire army be smitten by giant bipedal toads (smitten with what? Love?). Finally, Calibrated Horizons has been killed with minimal casualties. Edit: One last thing for everyone. I currently have an equal number of fort and no-fort provinces. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif |

Re: Go Big Blue!
A brief note:
Since I have received an email on this issue, I feel I do owe a public explanation. KO is playing Yomi. Yes he has staled 3 consecutive times. By rule, he should be set to ai. However, KO is a developer. And he did inform me, prior to the game's start, that of the races not selected, he was interested in Yomi from a developer's standpoint. I have no idea what that means exactly, but it means I am not pulling the plug on him. I have no idea what he has left etc. and have no clue what, if anything, he can get out of watching Yomi's last breath. But I also figure he of all people knows how to set himself to AI when he is done looking at them. Aside from KO, there are no other developers playing(that I know of), so everyone else is bound by the rules. |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Unfortunately KO is no longer amongst us. Or, at least, Yomi isn't.
There was nothing changed by his staling actually. He was down to his castle, and it just took me all these turns to breach the walls. In fact, I didn't even notice him staling just for this reason: him not doing anything was the most logical thing to do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Well, it's been fun guys, but I think MA monkeys have my number, really enjoyed the game, and as always the only thing to do is to go down swinging.
"If you want my capital, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers,you damn dirty ape...indian god banjo playing things...DAMMIT!" But yeah, thanks for the tips on playing the monkeys (i.e watching you destroy me) I'll be using it in my hotseat game with a friend of mine, p.s if you could provide any other information about how to play (generally http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) Bandar that'd be great, I really want to trash him good, he's MA evil rome people. Anyway, like I said really enjoyed it, and next game I hope to be a bit more of a challenge for...well...anyone. |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Stale turning typically does not help your cause when you are at war, though if you are new at the game, and are fighting a wily vet like Atul, it likely is frustrating. My scouts are not watching your battles, but if you are getting trampled by elephants, that can be very disheartening when you are on the trampled end of things.
There are a lot of elephant nations in this game, and you really have to plan your defense against them before the game starts(pretender selection). There are just too many of them to just hope that you do not start next to one of them. |
Re: Go Big Blue!
DaveCG, too bad it had to be you, but I've got a limited number of neighbours after all. But, you've still got more than enough troops to put up a fight, so it's fields of glory next. Don't stale anymore though, takes the fun out of fighting. (I can send you PM about Bandar later on, need to go to work in a minute)
Xietor, elephants are for wimps. :-P Haven't recruited a single elephant during this game, and since magic has kicked off probably won't either. |

The Jotunheim defensive line has collapsed under an intense Eriu blitz, leaving the hero Orm scrambling way behind the line of scrimmage, surrounded. 1/2 of the Jotunheim players are down, and the other 1/2 are looking (rimshot!) for their eyes. Except for this guy, who for the time being still has 20/20 vision, amazingly: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9...smanak2.th.jpg This is all tough to swallow for Coach Uvini, whose team has yet to put a single point (of damage against an Eriu soldier) on the board; however, she's got bigger things to worry about, with Eriu's fearsome linebackers currently just yards from the coaches' booth... (Jotunheim: This is about the time you send an apologetic PM offering huge piles of gems, in hopes that I won't spend the 6A it will take to completely annihilate what's left of your little expeditionary force & capture your capital.) |
Re: Lanka mania
> Unfortunately KO is no longer amongst us. Or, at least, Yomi isn't.
We're still here, we're just not showing ourselves to you. We watch you from the other side and await your eventual arrival. > There was nothing changed by his staling actually. He was down to his castle, and it just took me all these turns to breach the walls. In fact, I didn't even notice him staling just for this reason: him not doing anything was the most logical thing to do. I was away for a while, and forgot to tell anyone and I didn't have access to a computer. I didn't have much to do during my turns anyway (since my capital was besieged), but I should have told someone to sub a turn and sent my gems to the death match. |
Re: Lanka mania
Aargh, a voice from beyond the grave!
You're not going to haunt me, are you KO? You know I love all those cute little oni of yours. Anything I did was in self defence only, and I'm also willing to plead insanity if needed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |
Re: Lanka mania
Ohhh, insanity. We like insanity.
Yes we do. And Ling, it IS a good idea to attack Lanka. In fact, if you are having a hard time with them, it's only becoming more of a good idea to attack Lanka. More people should do it, it's like poker, much more fun with 5-6 players. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif |
Re: Lanka mania
Attacking Lanka when 54 other nations exist to attack?
No one can say you do not like challenges. |
Re: Lanka mania
Yeah, I can give you location of LA Arco, you can all teleport/cloud trapeze there and have deathmatch for Xietor's capitol!
|
Re: Lanka mania
It's easy to act brave when there is an aspect of distance to be considered. Gath is worlds away from Lanka, and thus needs not to fear retribution for its words.
Though I must admit insanity goes well with JM's avatar. Stare not into those eyes too deeply. |
Re: Lanka mania

Oh yeah, it reminded me to set avatar, I had to do it like 1000 posts ago. |

You could teleport to my capital, but as K learned the last game, Banelords in constr 4 gear are impossible to kill with blessed troops, even lanka's blessed troops.

Re: Go Big Blue!
Results of the Kingmaker Pretender Poll
CHEERS to the Eriuian generals for successfully annihilating every…single…soldier of the Jotunheim Expeditionary Force, including the Prophet Orm (whose Heroic Strength had swelled to a comical 47), without suffering a single casualty. As promised. JEERS to the arms dealer who supplied Utgard with the Frost Brands & Vine Shields used in their successful defense of the EA Arcoscephale capital. |
Re: Go Big Blue!
Now that Utgard has tapped into the Kingsmaker arms market, we expect to avenge our brothers in Jotunheim and put an end to Eriu's giant extermination plan! We are still open to further purchases - looking for shrouds, brands, and...eye shields. After all, an eye for an eye! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif
