I decided before the game started that if I got LA Ermor and the cap actually kicked in I would put the nation to AI for the benefit of the game.

We are still well below the supposed cap limit (there are 62K units in the game currently).

Dunno that going AI is gonna help at that point, presumably the AI will still generate the autospawns at a rate preventing anyone else from getting new units. Particularly if LA Ermor AND LA R'yleh are both major powers. I think we should just kill them both now. If the world dying/going insane wasn't apocalyptic enough, now they have a plan to make all women in the world barren!

I doubt an AI-driven LA Ermor would be much of a threat to a group of players dedicated to wiping it out.

Besides - If I'm wiped out early we'll never know for sure if a unit cap will affect us. Remember I've seen a score.xlm file showing much more than 100K troops in single game. LA Ermor need to live for the sake of science!

If Ermor does not send me tribute, science or not, it days are numbered.

And I appreciate the gems/gold i received from a few nations last turn. Rest assured that it will be spent dooming LA Ermor to the abyss.

I especially like the message from ------, along with the 21 air gems, that said, "I am glad someone other than Honey Badger is standing up to Ermor."

Keep the gold/gems coming. In time I will destroy Ermor. The Supply items are not really useful quite yet, as I am not into LA Ermor's death dominion, so hold off on those in favor of raw gems.

I agree with Baalz in that if we reach the unit limit and I believe we will that putting LA Ermor on AI would not solve the problem. Indeed it would make it far worse, as the AI would recruit cheap chaff as well as the freespawn.

If we reach the unit limit LA Ermor and LA R'yleh have a duty to fight each another with there huge armies of chaff, so all the other nations can continue to recruit units.

By then you should both be recruiting quality units, so its in both your interests too... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Is it possible to rehost the turn?

I did not receive any gold income at all this turn, but should have received quite a bit, plus some extra due to two good events. There were not any bad events cutting income.

This appears to be a new bug, and I'm curious ro see if others have been affected this way, too.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

That sounds bad for sure. I got my income this turn i might add.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I got my income too. If we can get an independent person to review solo's files and confirm the income loss, I would agree that we should rehost.
