Turn 32

Uh, that looks like a screenshot of a battle involving my troops, but there are no such battles shown here.

My Messages are:

* Research in Alteration is completed
* The remnants of the dead prophet's power have
X Nevelon was the victim of an assassination

What happened?

Re: next turn is up!
 

Anyway, what do you mean that it is a good thing your pretender routed. Your pretender is afraid of fire elementals? Maybe he is Susceptible To Fire or something? I suspect that you are being sarcastic.

Oh, I get it -- everyone else in that picture is routing except for some fire elementals, so you are irritated that your pretender didn't stay and finish them off. I sympathise -- I've had a big disappointment regarding routing rules in another game I'm playing right now.

Anyway, I sure wish I could view the battle myself. What the hell.

Re: next turn is up!
 

Hm. That screenshot shows a Lammashta, but my only mage who can summon Lammashtas died by assassination (according to my client) before the battle. Also, my client shows that there was no battle. Bah. Did you see the assassination battle? In the Version of it that I saw, my mage summoned a Lammashta which promptly slew him, then slew your assassin.

Re: next turn is up!
 

Zooko, stop assuming stuff!!!

Fisrt of all, my pretender would have died trying to kill 4 fire elementals; that is why I was very fortunate that my pretender routed.

Another thing, that battle was LAST turn. I assassinated a mage this turn.


EDIT: Maybe some of our other players should take screenshots with cool stuff that happened.

Re: next turn is up!
 

Uh -- I don't remember that battle. Did I miss a turn?

Oh wait -- that was the one where you didn't bring your undead-summoning mages. Yes, I remember that one. I wonder why you didn't? They are all busy researching some powerful new spells, perhaps?

Re: next turn is up!
 

you know, if a player stales a few turns, it is standard practice just to force him to go AI (using master pass); then you don't need to get especially mad at him, and the game can get back to it's normal pace.

Calista?
 

Are you going to send Calista to AI Argitoth? He(she?) does occasionally play a turn, even though he doesn't communicate. I'm fine with it either way.

Re: next turn is up!
 

Unless he was your neighbor with a peace treaty that the AI of course doesn't honor, in which case it's not inappropriate to get especially mad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
