I thought it would kill less than what it did. i am satisfied with a combined ~100 kills. I can keep doing it.

Not gonna give me any credit for wolven wintering my own province a few times to increase the effect? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Just wondering if we could stall the game a bit as i am traveling north for few days before i am able to process yet another turn. 20 hours delay would be appreciated greatly.

Cheers,

the province I hit with winter had no cold before you moved in and had 2 when i cast. I thought cold scale affected murdering winter?

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

It should affect it. I don't have the book in front of me but I thought the cold scale was the multiplier in the formula or the cold scale was added to the total damage.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

the turn I cast it, it had 2. Maybe cold scale changes before spells go through?

Wow, badness.
 

Deepest apologies, my friends. The problem with corrupted turnfile uploads has been resolved, along with the problem of me not having internet access over holiday after all. The game should be restored within 8-10 hours.

Update?
 

So guys, what's happening? It's _ages_ since I got crushed by T'ien Ch'i, but it seems like the game's still going on, is that right? And Yomi's still in it as well? Seemed he was doomed when I lost. So who's winning now? Has there been a confrontation between Vanheim and T'ien Ch'i?

Re: Update?
 

theres been like, 2 turns since you lost.

My lands have gone to marverni; and Im gonna try and give tienchi a decent battle or two before I go.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

By a miracle I have revived the game. Abysia's turnfile as well as mine were destroyed in the process. Abysia should replay his turn, changing some order or another, as his turnfile seems to be the one that caused the crash. And mine was lost because I screwed it up. I will not have time to replay it now but should be able to do it in much less than the allotted 24 hours http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

There, my turn is re-done.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Regardless of how inconsequential the battle was to my survival; winning against TienChi in one tiny instance, regardless of how stacked it was in my favor, has made this game worthwhile. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

In retrospect, I should have remembered to take my units off of hold and attack, but I can't complain; My god somehow managed to survive.

Thanks for letting me live long enough to at least learn something about the game, Frank. you can stop holding back now and take the rest of my stuff if you'd like.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Also, whats the deal with Darkness? It says that it doesn't affect Demons or undead. But it did. That is kind of frustrating.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

In this latest version, they removed the darkvision and made darkness not affect demons. They botched the second part :\.

By the way, what does having a mage on research effect?

With all these Vanheim scouts my Lizard warriors have been capturing, my Necromancers finally decided to perform an autopsy.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Lizards,
Thou might try holding you double bladed tongues as the wellknown fact is that the reproductive organs of yours race consist only of slimy egglaying thingies.

Elsewhere; on the bottom of the seas,

Atlantian claylegged statues crumbled as Vanheim took retribution of Atlantian earlier excursion to the surface to bring mayhem into Vanheimian lands.
Old grudge is now avenged in full.

Military fall of their allies was very fast and Maverni started to plan stealing the provinces of Atlantis. We told them that by right of might those are all properity of R'lyeh and Vanheim but Maverni didn't heed.

We consider them breaking our non-agression pact as they attacked provinces that were clamed by us.
We hope that they realize their folly soon enough to withdraw away from the Atlantian provinces to allow our retaiking those and thus allowing starting negotations on terms of a new era of friendly relations.

We have no need of anything from Maverni who have been most considerate towards us in the past and thus have earned our gratitude and friendship in full.

Message to Tien Chi:
Your warmongering politics are driving you too far!
We witness your vast and terrible armies closing in with a cloud of death and destruction on your heels.
Lamentation of woodland women has not waned as the Abysia is being stomped next.

We declare that Vanherr Thanatos and Vanheim take steps to protect other races from the approaching hordes of Tien'Chi!

Re: Warmongering?
 

You realise i havnt preformed a single blood sacrifice all game right?

ps: missing a turn due to technical problems sucks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Warmongering?
 

Wait, whats wrong with some good old fashioned warmongering? Its all the oni have left! Leave it to the pretentious celestial types to demean our national pastime. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

P.S. STOP CUTTING MY COMMANDERS ARMS OFF!

Re: Warmongering?
 

Hah,
Many feasthalls across the Southern continent are filled with laughter that Tien'Chi words bring to us.

Never have the brave men heard such a humour and we celeberate and feast as we hear how low lies must the empire of eunuchs spread. They are filled with fear, let the friends facing Tien Chi rejoice!

Re: Damnit!
 

Haha, you act as if my mages don't disobey what I set. You think i want them all to fatigue themselves and cast fire shield for no damned reason? They disobey about 50% of what i want, because they feel that fire shield is just the coolest thing a kid can do these days!

What does grip of winter do? My book says it does 50% chance of 5 AN stun damage. That would have really changed anything?

You know what would affect something? If darkness didn't affect demons, like it says in the description in game. and then if my casters didn't disregard everything I set. Wouldn't make a big difference, but it would be nice to play the game instead of rolling the dice and watching.

I suspect there is a version descrepency though, because I must not be seeing the same battle as you. You killed 4/11 of my Dai Oni and all my undead thugs. If that is what constitutes as a crushing like grapes at a harvest I can't wait to see what metaphors you use when you actually do something worth boasting about!

P.S. Why do my Dai oni recieve a -3 def. for weapon + shield combo.? All they are holding is the no-dashi two handed sword.

Re: Damnit!
 

I thought it was listed as armour+shield combo?

Re: Damnit!
 

either way, they have a two handed weapon, why the defense modifier? They certaintly don't have a shield!

Re: Damnit!
 

Deleted

Re: Damnit!
 

Stun damage automatically stops them? or just adds fatigue? Forcing half your army to be completely stunned every round seems kind of powerful.

So the shield negative they get is actually the armor, and the name is just a misnomer? That makes more sense than just a bug.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Wow Shovah. That was the biggest chain reaction of exploding fire mages that I've ever seen. I had to watch that one over and over http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Im guessing that was turn 67? I didnt watch all the battles there(i was hoping that with so many phoenix pyres some would respawn in the enemies army)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Yeah, I think so. And the explosions did take out quite a large hunk of my army. But it was worth it just to see the fireworks show.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Aye,
It was a bit disappointing as i somehow managed to stall my turn even thou it took couple of hours to properly plan the next moves. But alas the great Network-Moira intervened with her divine presense.
