AI really sucks for me since we were working well together and have a rather long border, but what happens happens I suppose.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

You might want to let Man stale for another turn or 2 instead of setting him to ai right away...he will still be in a good position (likely he will lose a couple provinces but will still be a good option to sub) and Rytek might still come back. This would also allow Licker to set up some defense/offense along Man's border if necessary so that a transition to AI would be as painless as possible.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

I will be gone from Wednesday to Saturday for thanksgiving and am hopeful that we can accept a delay. I've had no luck in finding subs privately anyway :p

This would be especailly an issue for me if Man is AI and I have to live through a couple stales with the notoriously insane AI along a 5 province previously 'safe' border.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

It has been almost two weeks now, and no subs have been found for Man. Therefore, I will abuse my great game administrating powers and put them to AI.

I have nothing against delays. Just ask away, post in the thread AND PM me.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

So Man is AI?

Important to me this turn since I am going to grab some border provinces to make a more defensable position.

The spiders would also ask for a CF with Mictlan at this point since it seems the nature of our relationship just changed.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

Looks like Oceania is in need of a sub/AI, too.
He has staled now during the long delay and it looks like he will do it again.
After the rather desperate fighting I personally wouldn't have a problem with going against a stale nation for some turns, though. :D

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

You guys just couldn't share the ocean...had to implode against each other for R'lyeh's cap. :D

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

Yeah, that was really nasty.
When I saw R'lyeh bordering me, I was 1st in most graphs I think and Oceania was close after. I hoped they'd be in the easter waters and I could rush R'lyeh to get a very strong position.
Turned out I was wrong and R'lyeh was exactly in the middle of our quite similar empires (both had a kraken sc pretender, equal number of provinces and conjuration and alteration well researched). Interestingly this led to some kind of cold war situation. Whoever controled R'lyeh would be the stronger one and I for one didn't trust him to let me live then (well, maybe that's just cause I won't do it :D). On the other hand R'lyeh had a very tough defense and even if you defeated them you'd be very vulnerable to a third party attack.
So I was just sitting next to R'lyeh and waiting for him to make the first move while the upkeep was eating me up and I was falling behind in research.
Luckily he did it and with the unhonorable move of attacking the guy who is just trying to kill my worst enemy, I got the better position.

(But to make matters worse in my noobieness I put the monster fishes into the first line when storming the castle. They get paralyzed at the gates and block the way for the other soldiers who are killed one by one through far strike and mind blast... :doh: )

Well, I guess I have learned quite a bit from the game.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

Well. I am back. I apologize to all of you for my stales. I was right in the middle of a move and my main PC was packed and ready for the move. I was planning on playing on my laptop but the laptops hard drive failed on me and I couldn't get the damn thing running. I just got internet service and my new house. I am sorry for ruining some of your games. I feel terrible about it.

Re: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!
 

If it makes you feel better, thanks to your stales I'm clawing my way back from inevitable doom!
