Mork edited his first post which what he's playing I think.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I'll load C'tis later today.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

id like to play without the special sites. sundering has given me bad experiences with them =)

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

actually, in my play testing, i'm tending to agree with pk....

anyone particularly strongly in favour of keeping them?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

just waiting on Reverend Zombie, Tyrant and Morkilus at this point. try get them up in the next, say, 7 hours or so.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I'll upload shortly, but i do have a few questions about what attacks are allowed without Council sanction.

Assasination?
Spells like Hurricane, Blight, Swarm etc?
Neutral monster attacks like Send Horror?
Hostile Globals like Wrath of The Sea or Wild Hunt?
Assasin spells like Earth Attack or Mind Hunt?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I've loaded.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

tyrant, though this is definitely open for change, my thoughts were basically that any anonymous attack was okay. if they can't prove it was you, then there is no way of being removed from the senate for such an attack, even if it was likely you.

i also believe that all globals should be allowed, though i suppose this could also be changed.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

So anonymity is the criterion then. Check

Uploaded and ready to go.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Crap! I forgot to put Senator in my pretender's name. That doesn't make me rogue, does it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

upload again?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

uh, me too, i'll try to change it if it's not too late

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

if you don't have senator, it's not a big deal. i think i said in the first post "players are encouraged to..."

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

haha, I must have been tired, I named mine lord instead of senator.

oh well.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

P.S. Looks like the game has started

did everyone manage an upload? or did someone click the start game button to soon?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Yeah I was told to start the game. Its on 48 quick host for now. If we need to restart (to change settings etc, as I used the ones discussed here) now would be a good time...

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I see you altered the map file. I guess those hoping to recruit trogs, trolls, and maybe some amazons will be suprised!

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

The only change I made was no special sites, which was mentioned earlier in this thread. Otherwise I'm using the same map as here
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...art=1&vc=1

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

the first senator is dead. please let us konw when your senator has been revived so we can count on his vote happening.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

you scared me, I thought maybe it hosted and I didn't succeed at a militia heavy province! how embarassing that would be.

for some reason on every test run I did, I started in the same sector of the map - same as where I started in this game.

Honestly not the worst place to be.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

lol and why can't my senator send messages from beyond the grave?

I'll let you guys know when it's back.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Blech! The fates did not smile favourably upon my nation. Horrible start position next to wastes and mountains and temple gone already. I even had to alchemize to build a new one!

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

yeah, thats some awful luck, but everyone has some mountains (its how the map is designed, mostly to increase resources) and some people covet wastes because of the magic sites the sometimes have.

Your area, like all areas, should have at least two wealthy provinces.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

turns up, sorry for holding everyone up but i kinda forgot about this game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
i had one of those scary moments this turn, with the enemy fleeing from my almighty senator (who was reduced to around 20 health) with my heart pounding everytime he moved incase his flying brought him face to face with a broadsword weilding warrior who could potentially kill him in 1 hit. luckily no harm done yet.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Anyone playing draco...how did he work soloing? I couldn't get him to work, maybe because I don't understand bloodmagic that well.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

i solo'd with mine, didnt even use blood magic.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

....
doesnt sound like it went all that well.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

well he was reduced to 20 health, won the fight and got no afflictions so not too bad.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

You're right, but I forget to mention the plains are full of dragon eating crossbow men with heavy cavs and the other side man eating jade amazons. =(

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I had a turn like that, turn 1, where lord anachron was reduced to 14 health, however he suffered no afflictions and everyone routed before he died. Not playing draco here either though.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

I looks like everyone has uploaded but the turn did not fire

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Yeah not sure what happened there, probably related to a random reboot (windows auto-update being a bastard.) Anyhow I force hosted this turn (my only option) and set it back to 48h quick host, so all should be well.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Another one of us has joined Senator Rook among the ranks of the dead. A moment of silence will be taken in the lands of Man for Senator Vicente Valtiere.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

this is a very bad game for me, unrest in the capitol, pretender dying and random barbarian attacks. lucky me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

haha, I lost my temple on turn 3 AND had a hurricane at my best province and my capital got an ill omen in the first 7 turns! BEAT THAT!

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

id rather not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

at least the senate will allow you some comfort to rebuild, likely even the weakest nations will make it into the late game, by account of the CoW game, anyway.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

yes, but a slow start is quite damageing since other players often grab territorys you would have otherwise gained.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

You guys are getting all these bad events. I have turmoil 3/luck 3 and havnt gotten a single event. Good or bad.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

If your next turn gives you 1500 gold, can I have 200 of it?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

my events haven't been devistating, lost my temple, but already have an inquisitor to rebuild it with. otherwise they've been mostly gems or small gold events.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Oh yeah, well there was the time I got a "handful of earth gems" and I check my lab and see ONE. They could've at least not pluraled it.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

getting 1500 gold in one turn is definitely feasibile. in rand2, i got 2 of the 500gold events in the same turn. the sad thing was that i had no problem spending every penny of it that turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

ok bye bye everyone, im surrounded by enemys and as mictain with no provinces to hunt in yet im going to be dominion killed soon. ive already lost the province that was attacked by barbarians to pythium so i'll play this to the end but just saying bye in advance.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

there is a 1500 gold event, it also comes with gems, and a magic item.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Maybe we need to form a Coalition of the Unlucky. You can be chairdragon, Shovah.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

Perhaps we should propose that Pythium returns the province back to Mictlan as it was rather taken through a loophole cause than a legitimate one?

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

i would say that's a very legitimate way to get a province, but if you want to put forward a proposition, feel free to do so.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

ive got a bad enough start that i dont mind, im already in CoW so i wont be missing much by dying. only problem now is deciding who to give my small wealth to.

Re: The Senate of Dragon Country [sign up now!]
 

*** A bit of roleplaying for you all ***

Senator Black Wind speaks,

"Surely you'll see that our brother Vicente Valtiere, though temporarily deceased deserves to be treated better. After all, we are dragons and not vultures or similarly despicable scavengers. To use the example of "humans" to apply to this metaphor as the two ape like things are very easy to compare to most degenerate species, if a man trips and falls in the mud is it right to take what falls out of his pocket? In this case, the man who is doing the taking happens already to be a very rich man and the man who is at loss is but a destitute. Surely the great Senator Augustus will be glad to return what was originally Mictlans to ensure that our brother is not left with naught ..."
