Hey, you can still send a nature gem - I even took my next turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn is up

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Argh. Why did my small army of large giants route as soon as Anya the Virtue slew one of their bodyguards?

I thought bodyguards were immune to the stupid routing rules.

EDIT:

On closer inspection I see that it wasn't a bodyguard that Anya flambed with the first swing of her flambeau. Actually it was one of the large giants.

I guess what a small army of large giants needs is a crossbowman standing at the very back of the battlefield in order to give them courage. Coming right up! Look out Anya, here comes the Small Army of Large Giants And A Crossbowman.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

An army of only bodyguards and commanders will rout as soon as any one of them is killed.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

server is down and/or out

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn - server seems fine but maybe it was restarted already.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

yah no problems now

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Dear Anya:

I didn't need my Pretender anyway (err, I mean, I didn't need the physical form of myself).

I see that my Increasingly Small Army of Large Giants is still having a morale problem.

I'm still planning on hiring that crossbowman, and then oh boy are you going to be in trouble.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Mwhahahahahah

This is what you deserve, to have ordered your giants to stompa stompa my lava-farms, destroyng the precious cultures of magma mushrooms and of everburning grain.
Indeed your recruiter have done a good work finding all that volounteers, perhaps next time he'll find an High Priest leading a group of zealots equipped with crossbows.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

connection failed a few times, as if the server were down; then I got through.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn ran.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn is waiting!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

new turn

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Dear Anya:

My recruiter really outdid himself this time! Instead of crossbowmen, he came up with flagellants! Tenacious little buggers, aren't they?

Welcome to Limbo. Enjoy your stay!

Regards,

Gan the Great and Merciless and Temporarily Incorporeal

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Ah damned cold one,

It was your snowy guys that frozen my Virtue. Not your flagellats.
Poor my Virtue, frozen and icied, I hope she won't come back with Cold affliction.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

It wasn't just that she grew tired of slaying two flagellants per turn after a while?

> Poor my Virtue, frozen and icied, I hope she won't come back with Cold affliction.

And I hope she won't come back!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

hey is it a new turn yet? i'm at a different machine so can't check http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif, but we were just waiting on r'lyeh a little while ago...

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Nope. Still waiting on R'lyeh. Creepy suckerface little things, they are, too. Some of them aren't so little. But they're still littler than my worshippers are.

Re: MP Game - European War 2

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

new turn up

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn again

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

new turn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn again.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

yay new turn

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Aigh! She's back! Shoo! Shoo!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Send her my way, I'm always happy to kill his Virtues and even dragons. (Say, Cohen, could you feel the chill of my content when my ghost riders nailed your dragon in Ye Olde?)

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

A new turn seems to be up... Did someone stale?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I don't think so - I might've been the one to submit, causing it to host. There were actually 3 of us connected at the time.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

There's exitement in the air, to be sure!

Any plans yet versus the Mict? Sure looks like he's giving you a ride for your money!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

i would disagree about the claim that the attack was unprovoked, but whatever. w/out any agreement between us, there is no need for a casus belli

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Care to substantiate your claim of provocation? Is this more of the "Pythium was stirring unrest" nonsense? I would greatly appreciate it if somebody would please explain to these Mictlanese blood suckers that Pythium doesn't have any spies that it can recruit...

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Yeah, the plan is to clean his clock! Wanna help out? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif The attack did take us by surprise, so we have had to reposition our forces for our counterattack - but that will come soon enough.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Oh, not me! They would revoke my membership in the Brotherhood of Evil in an instant, if I were to help the innocent and the oppressed, so I better not. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif


Although the thought of romping through your lands to "rescue" you sounds mighty alluring... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

(So sorry, vague threats against all decent folk are a part of the code of conduct too!)

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Likewise, the forests of carrion would seem to have more in common with the forces of evil than with the holy forces of Pythium.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Yeah, and my giants are, uh, evil too!

Also, I live over in a relatively peaceful corner and I don't even know where all the rest of you warring nations are.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Your giants _are_ evil! I've watched them sieging someone's capitol already, and _I_ wanted him! "Peaceful corner" my .... donkey! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I'm not sure what this fight has to do with good and evil - it seems to me to be much more about national interests. Should Mictlan succeed, that would not be in the interests of any of Mictlan's neighbors.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Well, Mict's priests _are_ quite the wusses in comparison to Pythium's... An important difference to some http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

And hey, the Brotherhood has such wild parties, that no national interest can go before them!

Free mictish beer for everybody! Brewed according to our ancestral traditions in accordance w/ the mictish brew law - only the freshest of ingredients!

true, it is a red beer...

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Looks like quickhost has been turned off, and that we are now on 48h fixed host. Is this on purpose?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

hmmm i pm'ed graeme, but no response. i'll send him an email i guess.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I think he's about to die in the game, that might have something to do with it.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

It's a problem when the human host loses motivation in the game. When I host a game, I plan to have victory conditions that lead to a nice quick end when the end comes.

Maybe two teams of two nations each or maybe pentagram style...

This game should have fairly decisive win conditions because of the victory points. Only 9 victory points are required to win, so Mictlan should be close to winning, right?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Actually Mictlan has 3 victory points. Check the graphs.

And let's not jump to conclusions 'bout reasons for this little pause, eh?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

There's a victory points graph?

I didn't mean to assume that Graeme was de-motivated and that's why he hasn't noticed the quickhost setting, or whatever. I was just pontificating on the problem in general. I've been thinking about it, since I'm probably going to host a game soon, and I'm probably going to lose. ;-)

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

i'm guessing he set it to non-QH because of remembrance day - he likely has a long weekend. I haven't gotten any response from him, but that seems like a good bet.

edit: close to winning? lol

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Twenty-three minutes until next hosting! WHOO!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Oh geez that hurts. Anya just singlehandedly slew six giant commanders, five giant troops, and three tiny human fodder.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

But we'll lose both Zooko, whoever will win beetween us will be easy prey for the next player.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Shhh... Don't tell them.
