just in passing-is sauromantia dead?

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

Sauromatia is out. I ordered my Abysian minions to attack on turn 47. A few turns later Caelum joined in taking provinces in the South.

The long war with Helheim had left Sauro pretty weak. So, it was largely a cakewalk. Still, it had actually managed an 11th hour victory against Caelum in defense of one of its Southern forts. But, Nikelaos went AWOL just before. I don't know if he even saw his victory. That turn and everyone that followed was a stale.

Helheim went down just before Sauromatia went on autopilot. Sauromatia was able to close the deal just as my shock troops were moving in to steal the kill from him. But, to his credit, HoleyDooley (who had taken over for Curtadams) fought tooth and nail the whole way down.

thanks samhain. i thought hooley was agartha?

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

You are right. I was a bit confused last night.

Hooley was Agartha. It was Curtadams who made the eternal die hard with Helheim. Like Curtadams with Helheim, Hooley also gave no quarter with Agartha. I was in that fight and took some massive losses in a province adjacent to his cap and ended up ceding that province, his cap, and couple of other forts to a fresh invasion from Caelum.

ahhh. cool. yes, curt simply wouldn't die when i was playing. and hooley is game.

sounds like you boys are well into that late game grind. good luck to all.

Haha! So I see now that our NAP expired :P I guess this is thee sort of thing that happens when you sort of lose interest..

Well its certainly more interesting now! :)

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

Please postpone this turn for another 24 hours, I just had a busy weekend and didn't have much time on my game...

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

I'm postponing the game again.. not sure what to do.. I've been trying to stay in and get turns done, but it just isn't happening and I don't see it getting better. I realize that this makes me the wrong sort of Dom 3 player, but I just don't see me getting turns in... they take 2-3 hours+ and everytime I start to look at it, I just don't get anywhere. SO then it gets postponed forever..

What do you guys want to do? I can look for a sub, but I doubt they are going to get much done given the state of the game... I could go AI.. I could stale *shrug* I could keep postponing in hopes of getting a turn done one day..

I've been struggling to figure out a way to not have to post this, but I don't feel like I can do another big postponement and not at least comment :(

Sorry for being awful :(

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

Now that all NAPs are expired, I'm pretty confident that we won't need more than a few turns to come to an agreement on how to conclude the game. If you need to take a break for a few days, that would be much preferrable to having you sub out at this stage. But, can you maybe just spend less time and do quicker turns? At the risk of soundind cocky, I don't think the outcome is going to change at this point, just how long it takes to get there.

Re: Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

I don't think it's easy to find a sub for Caelum in the current situation. In the worst case we will have to end this game without claiming a winner if yon can not play and a sub can not be found either. To be honest, I don't really mind doing so, but it seems to be not fair for Abysia...
