Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Was turn 3 already sent ? I dit not receive it.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I have only had turn 2 so far...

No turn 3...

I am confused...

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I received turn 3 a few hours ago, but just my .trn file was attached this time, instead of all of them as in previous turns.

Meanwhile, I now see that those little bridges all over the map are not just there for decoration!

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I got turn 3 also, and yes, only one from Arco. But turn two had 8 from Arco.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I'm still waiting for it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I suspect some kind of Stygian Paths spell to have been used for mail delivery. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Got my turn 3, thanks for resending Adam.

Done and sent my orders for the next turn, 4.

Only 1 from Arco now and Crystalmist for man is top. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Thanks too (but.. hmm... I've received another turn 3 trn file after sending my orders, was it supposed to be the turn 4 in the last mail ? lol I'm confused)

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Waiting for turn 4. This is a cool map I must say.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

ya, if you posted on this forum saying you did not have turn 3 I re-sent it, just for safety, and Hellz ya this map is cool. I love the artwork on it.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

The map is very cool indeed, and I just love the strategic bottlenecks in the map. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Indeed, the map is great. (On the other hand my starting position is bad, but that's my luck...)

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I also got a somewhat unadvantageous starting position. Ah well.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

i join the group with the bad starting positions

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

You can't possibly have a worser start than having only two neighbouring provinces. <_<

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Hum, the worse is... it's possible (province 150). I hope nobody started there.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

My start is not too bad, just to buck the trend...

Love the map too, good choice Adam.

Sympathy goes to Pythium whose god, Shoori appears to have died...

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif You think 150 is bad? 175 is even worse, thrust me on that.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Just looked at the map description and it says all players will have a minium of 4 adjacent provinces.

Also, another oddity, I have had dominion spread to a province about 7 away from one of my owned ones. I am no. 1 for dominion but seems wierd...

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Yes but 175 is nostart.

The list of forgoten #nostart commands and other errors is here (sorry I should have bumped this post more, it's a little too late, we play on the vanilla map I think, with two false seas).

(I was exceptionnally lucky when making tests on this map, the first I've started in 209 with 2 neighbours, the second in 150 with one, the third in a false sea -120, very good start location but a little strange for a land nation- finally I've edited the map before replaying)

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Pythia might be computer controlled now

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

is there a way for me to transfer hosting duty if i die? I will keep hosting because I am chill like that, but you know

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Hi Adam, did send my orders for turn 6 but have resent.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Hum... I've not received turn 6.

If I can make a suggestion : please post here when you send a turn, so if someone (typically me :') has been forgoten, he may ask faster.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I dont have all the turn 5 orders, I am missing marignon, man, and shinuyama

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Mine (ShinuYama) has been sent this morning.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I have emailed my orders to u again, so I have sent them twice. Hope u have them.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

sorry for the delay in getting turn 6 out, I was on a plane all day.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I am sorry for stalling, but currently the net at my home comp is down. this is because my mom didn't pay the bills. >_< She took care of them yesterday but I have no idea how long it will take before the net is up again. =/

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

No problem. This games flying along, lets hope everyone can keep the pace up.

Encountered a hill this turn and I was at the bottom, longbowmen can't fire uphill apparently in Dom3. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif So what do they do? Yes charge like lemmings up the hill, straight into the 2 handed sword wielding barbarian horde. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Oh yea, sent turn 7 orders to u twice Adam, first one I forgot to attach the 2h file...sorry...just got in from work...tired.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

meglobob i think you are a turn ahead!

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

hi all

i'll be away this week and would appreciate if you would not progress to far without me

thx

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

ok hadrian, I don't think people would mind goin slow for a while, just email me some details of if you can move a little bit and we will go from there

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Just wondered when the next turn is due?

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Yay, turn 7 and the game is already having week long pauses! Feh.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Must agree that week long pauses so early seems a bit too much.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I guess/hope Hadrian's "this week" was for "this week end", so we are going to have turn 7 tomorrow. It wasn't supposed to be "the next week" reassure me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I completly agree with others in that topic of the pause being too long.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

it was actually this weekend and not this week (sorry), im back now

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I totally agree, and I am so sorry. I was visiting friends at other colleges and could not connect to their internet. I also did not have a car to go to a cafe. I have sent turn 8 and hope to go back to the turn a day at least. Again, sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Everyone remember that you have 24 HOURS for a turn unless you ask me

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Turn 12! Welcome the awakening ones.

A Message from Machaka :

We will be pleased to establish relations with our south-eastern neighbour. We have noted that some heretics live in the swamps near the eastern border, but still don't know who they pray.

Anyway as a sign of good intentions we have decided for the moment not to push further our fronteers in this area, and will concentrate our next actions on independant enclaves in our territory.

(you can contact me by pm)

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

To All Whom It May Concern,

Agartha's presence on the northwest continent is surplus to requirements. This already dieing race will be swiftly dispatched before there boundless evil can spread further, bringing misery to all the creatures in the Cradle of Dominion.

All of Agartha's 3 neighbours, Man, T'ien Ch'i and Marignon in a secret council, reached the decision that a aggressive, bullying, diplomatically demanding and systematically cruel nation could not be allowed the right to exist.

Killaka swamp was recently liberated to reveal the populace in a distressing state (unrest 153), tales abound that the pale ones have been hunting there own subjects to feast upon in there lair. It is believed that this situation is reflected across the Agartha nation and accounts for there severe drop in income.

Those short sighted acts of depravity spell there certain doom, as there lack of gold will impede any chance Agartha has of fighting back.

Victory is certain...

So it is written, so it will be...

Prophet Tywin Lannister,
Hand of Crystalmist,
Man, Tower of Avalon.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I will be out of town for the next 48hrs. I emailed upstream about it so he should know. I'll be back on Sunday night to continue the domination.

That is all.....

Chris

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

All of my 3 neighbours, Man, T'ien Ch'i and Marignon decided to invade me in the same time, forming an alliance. (Man broke the alliance I had with him.) Now that's what I call cowardice. If someone wishes to join the war at my side he/she will be more then welcome. Or you can wait for those cowards to gain strenght and kill ever nation one-by-one.
To be honest, a 3 people gang up in the 12th turn is a certain way to be defeated, and from their part nothing more then cheap play.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

The aggressive posturing of the inhuman Agarthans made the war inevitable. Marignon would rather focus on worthier targets than a wretched bunch of pale bulging-eyed men who worship statues and obese mountain giants but Agartha's plans to attack Marignon gives us the justification to do this.

In addition Agartha's monstrous tyranny towards it's subjects is inexcusable as is their reverence is terrifying necromantic magic. Did you not learn what disasters opening the Seal brought? Did you not see how dark magics ruined whole empires? Marignon will free the world of Agartha's olm-eating rule before they become a problem for the whole world.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

The machakan diplomatic corps, in agreement with our traditions and values of peace and tolerance for the necromantic arts officially disapprove this early war, and particularly some of the justifications used by Marignon.

Anyway as...
- we are not on the concerned continent
- we have no relations with the pale ones, but are in very good terms with some of their ennemies
- we are currently too busy praying for the return of our unlucky god and a nerf of barbarian weapons

... We regret to have to announce : we are not going to do anything.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Man NEVER EVER agreed to an alliance with Agartha. Well talks were held, the aggresive stance, threats and demands Agartha made against more powerful neighbours was intolerable. Agartha has only its demonic/inept leaders to blame for its current plight.

As other nations will testify too, the Tower keeps its word...

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

Then this means WAR. There is one thing I do not understand... How could T'ien Ch'i be in war with me if we have no common border, nor any disputes among our nations... We did not met each other. Maybe their leader is under the mental control of Crystalmist... Well maybe not him, that foul smelling lizard is dead anyway.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

I'm not involved in this war but I don't see anything cheap about it. War isn't fair. And the sides aren't always equal.

Re: Middle Era, Cradle of Dominion PBEM
 

The Empire of Tien'Chi sends this to the nations of the world:

Agartha will fall, the proud HUMAN armies of Man and Marignon will be aided by the wisdom of our celestial masters and the mighty hooves of our cavalry. Our Composite bows will rip the pale flesh of the cave dwellers. As the nation with the largest income of magic gems we know our victory is assured.
