Decided. We're still at war. WAR!

Seal Hunters parties raiding R'lyeh, who's neglected a lot of defense. I won't take him out with that, but it should prevent him from getting a huge advantage from his underwater position.

My pretender's moving against Jomon now. We'll see whether I moved to soon. I've practiced in mp games quite a few times, and learned quite a bit, but I'm always finding a new way to kill him off.

Utgard's down there too? You can PM me if you want to coordinate anything to the extent of a war pact, avoiding each others forces, or declaring war upon each other.

... Lots of cold resist... I'd rather fight Jomon than Utgard.

The mad dreamers of Ry'leh will happily intercept your small raiding parties soon enough. We will introduce them to our rift gate, and see if their tiny brains can comprehend noneuclidean geometry.

Soon enough your capital will make a delightful sea-side prize. Please make sure to dust the carpets for us.

I hope to give your Illithids brain-freeze, by the way...

You're going to attack me anyways, so I might as well sow as much low-expense havoc as I can to prevent you from being a million times stronger than me when you attack.

The Mournful of Ice and Bone laugh at the madmen of R'lyeh... They declare their intent to take out amphibious nations, hold the only water province adjacent to my capital, and then don't defend anything. They're not mad, they're special ed. Noneuclidean my froggy behind.

Sorry, we were too busy conquering the rest of the ocean to defend a single province http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

ROTFL!
I actually treat that as a compliment.
Sorry I didnt see this sooner. Especially if its already settled.

I dont think we ever did pinpoint the bug. The closest we got was that apparently you can slip in sometimes, and sometimes not. It seems to have something to do with the game being distracted by a bad connection (the freeze screen) and letting the next one thru. If you do the steps provided, then you can often fill both bills. Create a freeze, then slip thru quickly on a second try while its still distracted.

It seems to hit mid-sized games for some reason more than others. The 2-4 player blitzes dont seem to have it. The monster game doesnt seem to have it (knock on virtual wood). But around 10 players it showed up on my server.

The mid-sized games both had it but only for awhile then cleared up after about a week. I "fixed" it by leaving a connection to the game continually from my desktop machine. For some reason, that seemed to let everyone in OK.

To Marigon: Ouch, I saw that fight. Slingers taking out your commanders is a tough break.

Re: Game: Outriders (open)
 

!@#$%*! right. I erred in not having extra commanders anyway. Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed...Say, perhaps you were gathering intel about my playstyle for our upcoming festivities. Maybe I'll act stupid to lull you into a false sense of security. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Game: Outriders (open)
 

Hah, you look to be strong enough to take the 2 of us!
