Your move, Ich.

The wizards perch atop their mountain redoubt. Deeply engrossed in dusty, arcane tomes, they can hardly be bothered with martial affairs and earthy matters.

"Yes, yes, stick with the plan I gave you, general. No changes, of course. Foolish knave, do not disrupt my incantaions further lest I turn you into a newt on an evil whim!"

Hotmail no longer considers it junk, but I think it may have junked an older mail. No biggie, I got ahold of who I needed to.

Goddamn you Caelum!

If there's one thing about this game I absolutely despise, it's the lack of diplomacy options. It fits themeatically, but it's sure annoying.

Re: New Dawn - EA Dawn of D - FULL
 

Lack of diplomacy? This game is all about diplomacy, with a little splash of magic.

"Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" while you look for a bigger stick."

Re: New Dawn - EA Dawn of D - FULL
 

Yes, and when you turn your back searching for big sticks the "nice doggie" suddenly bites you in the neck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The obvious solution to this is of course to not have a neck which to bite. Another one is to say, "bad doggie, sit!" while you pretend that you are holding a whole forest of sticks.

So that's why oceania went with a kraken pretender then... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I mean the lack of diplomatic options in-game, like treaties that let you combine forces or move through allied terrain.

Yawn. 72 hours is kinda slow. I don't want to change it, though.

We did a blitz session yesterday for a new game and finished 11 turns in two hours. It's taken us a month to reach the same point in this game.

72h is slow, but I don't want to speed it up. I'm content with this game as it is. We should consider that it may take six months or a year to finish, though.

I think it's just a few people dragging their asses. Really, this isn't rocket science. There should be some degree of urgency. One turn every other day is hardly a hard thing to manage.
