Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

well, i've been somewhat rooked by c'tis going AI, but i should still have some enjoyable fighting ahead of me

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I have just been going through the motions far awhile now too. Someone might be able to do something about Mictlan, but that someone certainly isn't me. I have gone AI.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Well, seeing as how I'll soon be fighting the AI controlled MA Abyssia, Oceana is going to take a few more turns to break, and Arco seems unlikely to stop taking pot shots at me while I'm otherwise occupied I'm in no position to vanguard a charge at Mictlan at the moment. This leaves no credible speedbump for their ascension, I say gg AdmiralZhao!

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Woohoo! I claim second place!

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'm fine with fighting it out or just calling the game right now. If people want to fight it out, let me know and I will consider any NAP to be canceled immediately. Please let me know in the next 24 hours, before I have to transfer the 500+ blood slaves into the lab.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'm three candles from dominion death so it's gg everyone for me anyway. Keep fighting if there's need, but if not, at least I survived to see the end! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

If Atlantis is calling it quits, small little Midgaard would have to bow out too. I say Mictlan has done a superb job.

I'm happy with what I've accomplished in this game. I survived Niefelheim's blessed rush and eventually defeated him after 50 turns, with myself having an imprisoned pretender, and no bless.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I upgraded my internet connection at the house. The status pages aren't up yet but the games are!

The new host to connect to (Ip address) is: ArsNotoria.net
The Port hasn't changed.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Ok, it looks like while some of the smaller nations are bowing out, Shinuyama at least wants to continue the game. Now I get to find out exactly how many clams he has stockpiled while the Forge was up. GG to everyone who is leaving us and survived till the (very nearly) end. Don't worry Dr. Praetorious, I will do my best to get you the silver medal.

Velusion, I'm not able to connect to the server to get the new turn. Is anyone else having this problem?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hosting stalled, like has happened before.

I also have a weird issue, whereby if I try to connect to the new IP using a shortcut, it takes me to some "Dominions 3 Performance test" hosted on the server... if i connect to ArsNotoria.net and 10020 through the game and not a shortcut, it works fine...

also, it looks like Baalz has just given up? not that anyone can stop mictlan... so it looks like dr P is guaranteed the 17th spot or whatever http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

My email script hanged it. It should be back up

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'm still having trouble connecting.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Hmmm... I can connect to it just fine....

What exactly are you typing in for the IP/Port?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

zhao - i had trouble, and tried the "open a second connection w/ another client" trick

what's the actual IP address Vel?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

99.166.71.111

However it is a dynamic address... so it might change in the future.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

i believe we can launch attacks starting next turn. Is that correct admiral?

though I admit I have barely been able to get these last turns in... I don't think it is conceivable that I can prevent your win. I'm happy to pick off another global though ;p

If atlantis had fought, we would have had a chance. It's difficult to motivate oneself for a grueling endgame though.

admiral, would you prefer I concede, or would you like to try and crush me for funsies?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Woohoo! I claim second place!

I've got a significant amount of work done on various megamods, although in some cases I'd like to add more material. Is there interest in a single-era huge game (or two, or three) with custom nations added?

Balance is a difficult and subjective thing, of course.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

you can claim anything you like, Dr P - why not first? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'm still alive! Woohoo! I claim third place hahaha

I would be interested in any and all custom nations game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I would absolutely love for you to concede, as that means I can finish my programming project tonight rather than spending 3+ hours doing this turn. In fact, I would be willing to let you have place #1.01, letting you finish ahead of even Dr P. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think you do have a decent position, at least until I make a try at taking back the Gift Of Health. After that I'm hoping the Burden of Time will finish off all your old national mages. It has certainly done a number of on my Horror casting corp this last turn. Really, it's difficult to tell how balanced things are without seeing how many thugs and SCs you have squirreled away. And what's with all the scouts? They worry me too.

If we are still playing, I believe there is one more turn left in the 5 turn NAP. Though given your globals killed/crippled several hundred of my units this turn, and that you attacked one of my provinces, and possibly fire-bombed some of my blood gatherers, I wouldn't be too surprised by an attack this turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Let me know if you want to keep going or call it here. I would definitely prefer calling it and saying GG all around.

Cheers,
Zhao

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

FYI - Currently AZ holds 250 provinces. He needs 275 provinces for three turns to win outright.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I don't suppose we could get a 24 hour extension while I wait on Arco's response? Also, so that I can do my turn?

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I got no problem with that at all

edit: don't stress yourself on the turn, zhao. i've been barely getting turns in, and the conclusion to this is foregone.

oh, and that one attack was inadvertant, as I had no idea you had invaded ctis, or where. Why would I knowingly suicide a nicely-kitted banelord against a vast army of triple blessed beast bats? nor would i waste gems on some firebolts. abysia rather springs to mind.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Put in the the extention

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hmm still 5 hrs till host... I guess I better get my turn in. Mictlan has uploaded. It might be best to go to 72/hrs, though i'm not sure how long this will last.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

ummm, Vel, instead of extending the turn 24hrs you changed the hosting schedule to every 7 hrs... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

hmmm, maybe we should do this as a blitz then ...

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

hmmm it hosted... i didn't attack... guess you can build up towards overwriting GoH. I'll post in the velusion server thread as well

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Damn... sorry about that... was trying to turn it 72. LEt me know if I need to roll back before the host occured.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

i'd prefer a rollback, but it's no biggie. see what zhao wants.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Could you roll back? I did not do much more than examine the previous turn before it hosted.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

I'll try to roll back right before it hosted.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Let me know if that looks better.

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Heh, I just love the AI version of me. At least he didn't waste too many nature gems in his whimsical artifact forging spree. Also, letting the diseased casters and their 60+ gems of equipment go was a classy move. Ok, I suppose it is time to get serious about this. Thanks for the rollback Velusion, I did ask for it after all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Blood slaves, prepare to be transferred!

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

yah i got the old turn back... but, strangely, after deleting the old game and reconnecting to d/l the turn, it indicates that i've uploaded... hopefully someone involved stales http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

entertaining last attack at least http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

but i was barely able to get in a turn, even though we had 72 hrs to do it

so i must concede, and I congratulate admiralzhao on his win.

til next time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

An armageddon certainly is a thematic way to go out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

GG everyone. Velusion, thank you for hosting for us. Archaeolept and Baalz, very well played. I never expected to be worrying about MA Shinuyama and MA Atlantis in the late game. Dr P, thank you for the good starting position and for holding my abusive triple blessed armies back longer than anyone else.

Now, to enjoy a much deserved vacation. Wait, I have to go to work tomorrow? That's hardly fair...

Re: Placeholder for new Megagame - Evermore
 

Congrats Admiral!

Re: Evermore - MegaGame - Winner: AdmiralZhao!
 

Does anyone have a link to this (or similar) mod? I'd like to get a game going with it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
