hes no norfleet, still a couple provinces without fortresses.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Well, it's official. Caelum won. I call my own people dead. It was a fun run. But with the entirety of my army, my prophet, and my Pretender dead, this time I'm really not recovering. I'm setting myself to AI. It's been fun being a thorn in your side.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Thorn in my side? You almost had me

Also, hello pythium! That inadvertent battle in golana was interesting

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Heh. True, I guess, but that mistform army just murdered me. I guess you can deal with the AI controlled Big Bad Wolf and his band of merry archers. Oh, and there's a suprise waiting for you at my capital.

Lanka, don't bother giving me anything anymore. I gave you all I had before setting myself AI. Thanks for helping me in the Bird Extermination Project. Sadly, it was a failure.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

lol he doesnt have much left unfortunately. But I like the supportive feelings between you two

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Hey, the underdogs gotta stick together.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

lol to be honest I don't see Neifelheim as an underdog:D neither is lanka, I think I was one of the underdogs at the start of the game.:) So why is no one supporting me and sending me gifts:S

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I meant a contextual underdog. Based on position, not raw nation power.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

well position plays a major role in dominions.but yet again lanka's position wasn't bad, his diplomacy though was quite bad. All my attemts to negotiate with them were answered with something of the lines of "Ekkk aOggg" :D
no wonder he didn't make friends with abysia:P

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

My downfall is attributed to, well, the suddenly mistform'd +300 units bird army! A single spell kills me. How about that. Otherwise my giants would have completely eaten the little birdies.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

well the asnwer to that is a good 4-5 thugs with magical weapons:)but yea forseeing it is the problem.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Thugs? I had two bone-a-fied SCs and something that'd I call a cross between a Thug and SC.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Ya, he had better than 4-5 thugs, along with his skinshifters, although they were all heavily crippled from earlier starvation. What he really needed was lightning immunity...

His prophet, despite 3 afflictions, was especially terrifying. I think someone else mentioned its hilarious strength earlier in this thread.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I see. Well the prophet str doesnt matter since its giants vs birds, and giants have enough str to kill them in one go, more than that its overkill. what he needed probably was more thugs to penetrate through mistform and to be lightning immune as you said. Skinshifters as cool as they are are not very effective in certain situations I don't think.(Or at least I havent seen them used effectively)

Anyways, Thanks for sticking up with us up to now SirMu and I wish you better luck next time:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Thanks. Niefl has always been my favorite folk to play. Any time I get to do so is a delight.

And yes, my prophet did have absurd strength. A little more and he could have split the earth in two.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Aww, no more demonstrations of giant power? Thanks for subbing in, SirMu. My scouts enjoyed the show. Also, grats iFRNA, I sort've thought you were gonna die there.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Hey come on guys... no props for LA Ulm? Still kicking!!!!!!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

LA Ulm? I'm besieging your cap atm :).

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

as far as I know he doensn't have a capital anymore. Now its just one of my provicial cities:D

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

That you are ruining! Besides, I'm still here!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

hmm well If I am running it for you can I get paid for it? I mean the position manager has quite a good salary. what about you pay me by giving me the rest of your provinces and forts?:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

We interviewed a citizen of LA Ulm's ex-capital, this is what he has to say about the monkey occupation:

"Sheesh, you can't even cross the street without stepping on monkey poo these days, and oh god the smell!"

-Name withheld on request (for fear of incurring the death by monkey poo penalty)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

You are already getting paid well enough through your 200% taxes that you have been subjecting all of MY lands to! Gangster government at its worst. At least when the vampires ran things you were safe as long as you weren't a virgin!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

4 hours, hylobius!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

yea now those virgins are in my palace, satisfying their god's needs:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Well, the last stand of Abysia is rapidly approaching, it's just a question of how many ermorian and r'yleh troops go down in flames with us. I'm not sure what to do with all these excess gems though, anyone want to use them to attack ermor or r'yleh?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

LOL. The turn I die Nief sends me his gems stores... Why did you think I was sending you what I got? I was dead as well.

Enjoy them player who I will not name.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

The funny thing is that I've built up a second stock of gems after that large amount I sent you... Still not out yet!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Whoops. I should have send them back to you then :D

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Don't worry about it... I don't even have enough mages to use the stocks of gems I do possess.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

There's just one demonbred with an entourage of witch doctors left. :(

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Two cities and two fortresses left! Bring it!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

well actually techninally four:)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

lol sorry:D my bad two and two indeed makes four:D anyways, loads of respect for leading the war for so long.(LOL and loads a disrespect for myself keeping it for so long)

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Yeah, I have been kind of curious about why I haven't been destroyed yet.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

you know the usual things barbarian attacks knights attacks, Bogus liberating some slaves. All the things a tyrant like me has to deal with:)
But in my defence most of you casltes have bloody 600-700 defence.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I believe we had two stales the last turn, Vanheim and LA Pythium.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

my bad, ive been busy the last couple days and it completly slipped my mind.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I definately submitted my Vanheim turn. The stale turn message said something about it being an old 2h file as opposed to a turn not being submitted. When I download the file, run the turn and submit the 2h I don't see how it can be ann old 2h file.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I had that happen to me in SeaOfInnocence a couple turns ago. I dunno what the cause is...

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Just an early reminder to try to prevent another stale, don't forget, Finalgenesis!

There seems to be staling and near staling from lots of people, does that mean the timer is too short for this stage of the game or is it forgetfulness? We can lengthen the timer if necessary.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

im fine so far, so its up to the other people to decide.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I'm okay with the timer

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

I'm fine with the timer as is, but I wouldn't have any objection to extending it if people are feeling pressured.

Also uh...sorry 'bout that Admiral. Your Last Disciple deserved a better death than that. :(

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Oh well, I'm dead in all but name anyway.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Don't forget again, Peacekeeper

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

its in with 4 hours to spare!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

There is only one lord of the ice. Only one who can bend it to his will. And I do not share power!

Btw, sorry ermor, just passing through

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 5: The Empire Strikes Back
 

Well, this is it. Bandar Log, I just sent you my remaining gems (some small reward for beating me, in addition to my lands). My last fortress will be taken this next turn. A few rogue bands of rangers might keep me alive for a turn or two, but for all intents and purposes resistance has been broken. Good game.
