I don't think that's how it works, but I do believe multiple attacks reduce the defense (or is it protection? don't have the manual on me at the moment) of the defending unit, so swarms are useful against big targets like giants.

And while swarm wont help the defense of the 'swarmers', each giant can still only kill only one human a round (at least not without a W9 blessing or magical help), well, until they start taking fatigue damage from cold auras ;)

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]
 

Yup, its the cold aura which is the real killer, made worse by the onset of winter. E/N bless is for longevity and its quite difficult for any swarm of mundane troops to consistently crank out so much damage so early.

Of course, where the bless strat falls apart for niefel is the fact that the giants are cap only; for future reference his capital is at (214) by the way, just to the south of the centre of the map :gossip:

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]
 

Hmm, might be your best bet regardless, depending on how well their 50% cold resistance holds up.

Their short swords (and wolf tribesmen's daggers) might have trouble punching through winterized armor. Maybe Earth Might at alt-1 and/or Armor of Achilles at alt-2.

Of course, another option is to hit them where they aren't - maybe it's raiding/pillaging time?

Tien Chi is in the market for const lvl2 and lvl4 items! We may also be interested in selling gems for gold.

Please PM me if you are up the tree and interested in trading.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]
 

Kailasa has (10) Fire gems for trading. We would prefer Water gems, but will also take Astral or Earth.

Oceania is looking to buy a dwarven hammer. Perhaps multiple hammers if the price is right.

Pm with price suggestions.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]
 

I sent in my turn with the proper file 1-2 hours ago but Llamaserver didn't acknowledge it even to say that I hadn't sent in the right file. Sent the turn in again 10 minutes ago and still nothing. Can you delay the game unless you see vanheim host? Is something wrong with Llamaserver?

These are the people with turns waiting as of 0305 GMT.

Arcoscephale Waiting for 2h file
Kailasa Waiting for 2h file
Niefelheim Waiting for 2h file
Vanheim Waiting for 2h file
Yomi Waiting for 2h file

I just got confirmation in my mailbox from a turn file that I sent in for another game 2-3 hours ago. Hopefully this new delay lets my turn file get in before the hosting... I'd hate to stale for something like this.

Re: Mists of Time: Early Era Newish Player Game [game started]
 

Yeah, thanks for pointing this out. I've sent my turn in as well and it still shows mine outstanding. I was about to go to bed for the night. I've postponed hosting for 8 hours so that we won't stale while I'm asleep. This sort of thing has happened before and Llamabeast has said that when he checks it, the logs say it is actually the internet not delivering the emails to his server in a timely fashion.

I'll see what the situation is in the morning.

If we do somehow end of staling because of this, I will roll the game back since its out of our control. But I'll try and stay on top of it and not let it do that. I sent my turn in over 6 hours ago I think.

EDIT: Okay, this too funny not to share. I checked my mail and had gotten a mail back from Llamaserver saying "Problem, 2h file not found". Turns out I had accidentally attached my resume to the email. LOL Yeah ... been looking for work for too long now.

The server updated itself saying its got my turn now that I've sent it in properly. Try again on your end and see if it works.
