Re: EST
 

GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time). That is to say that in New York City it is 12:10PM right now, so I guess it would be 5:10 PM right now in London.

If you are in Moscow, I suppose it would therefore be 8:10 PM.

Atlantis Once again...

I must say sea nations aren't usually my cup of tea but at least this time I did not get a scale bug like one previous game. With the right scales things look a bit more hopeful.

The mysterious atlantic nation is particular interested in the peaceful rising and we look forward to meet other lesser and unholy nations for diplomacy and trading.

Turn 2
 

Turn 2 has been sent out.

Re: Turn 2
 

If no one has any objections, I plan to post the nations that havent sent in their turns after 24 hours. This isnt to be mean, just to remind people that we're waiting on them =)

Let me know if anyone has any objections to this.

Turn 3, and an announcement
 

Turn 3 will be sent out shortly.

Also, Bandar Log's player has had to withdraw from the game. Bandar Log is now controlled by the AI.

Re: Turn 3, and an announcement
 

I would suggest setting the AI to at least difficult level and defensive personality - to diminish the probability of a player taking advantage and get himself a nice second castle. But It's too late.

Anyway, it's a pity to see Seagull go. Hope we meet in some other, future, game.

Best,

Re: Turn 3, and an announcement
 

Unfortunately, the game doesn't give me the choice of setting the AI level. So yes, whoever is near Bandar Log will have an advantage. Nothing to do about it now, however.

Turn 4 Sent Out
 

Turn 4 has been sent out.

Turn 5
 

Turn 5 has been sent out.

Re: Turn 5
 

I did say that I wouldn't be too hard about having turns in on time, but i'm thinking of implementing a turn a day rule in this game, at least during these early turns where there's not much reason it should take longer than 24 hours to send your turn in.

Obviously if you have some pressing personal business that requires a slight delay i'm amicable to giving anyone an extension, but I feel as though the first few turns have been taking longer than they need to.

Does anyone have any objections to picking up the pace a bit?

Re: Turn 5
 

Turn 6 has been sent out. PLEASE try to have your turn in by 9pm EST on Friday, January 19th. If you can't do it, e-mail me. Thanks.

Re: Turn 5
 

I would like a faster pace.

Re: Turn 5
 

Turn 6 has been sent out.

Really? I sent my turn 5 on Jan 17th, and haven't received anything from you since then. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Re: Turn 5
 

I received turn 6 without a problem.

Re: Turn 5
 

I also received turn 6 - except it was a stale turn, but I'm pretty sure I sent my turn.

Anyways, I'm all for a faster pace (e.g. a turn per 24h) with some allowance for the timezones. I live in GMT and only play either at night, or right next to lunch if I have the opportunity.

Best,

Re: Turn 5
 

I can do 24 hour turns.

Turn 7
 

Turn 7 has been sent out. If you haven't received the turn by the time you read this post, let me know.

I apologize for the delay in hosting; however, despite the late sending out, it would be great if everyone could have their turn in by 9 pm EST so i can host again...

Re: Turn 7

I apologize for the delay, everyone. I am still waiting on Marignon and Agartha. If I don't receive their turns by tomorrow morning I plan to host without them.

Pangae location
 

Marignon scouts located the whereabouts of Pangae capital. We, the Marignon knights leader, are willing to trade the location of the city. The price is either 15 astral gems or 20 death gems.

The map number of the city will be sent privately immediately upon delivery of crystals.

Nastya, the Marignon knights leader

Re: Pangae location
 

Haha, that's a great way to have Pangaea tell the entire game right where you're at. Also, if anyone's willing to pitch more than 10 gems at me for the right to know I'll sell the location of my OWN capital for that much, damn.

Re: Pangae location
 

Greetings, Nastya, leader of the Mighty empire of Marignon.

We have heard many tales of your greatness. I can personally inform you that your scouts are having a GREAT time in our sacred groves. By the way, we know that in Marignon people have developed sophisticated and cunning ways of flaying themselves to raw flesh, but I hope you do not mind my arrogance if I suggest you took a bit of schooling and learn spelling: it is Pangaea.

If anyone is interested in knowing where the capital of Pangaea is I can also tell you, and for half the price Marignon is offering. Even better, I may throw in the locations of other capitals, including Marignon's.

Satyridna, Head Scout of Pangaea

capitals location
 

Satyridna, I am glad to hear that yo intelligence is workin, too. I am interested to know locations of capitals, excluding of course mine and yours, espesially those close to our lands. What's yo price?

Nastya, the holly knights leader

Re: capitals location
 

holly knights?

Our military commanders are mighty god-blessed horse-riding knights of chalice. Heretics, beware!

Turn 11
 

Turn 11 has been sent out. Email if you did not receive it.

re: capital locations
 

Yes, Marignon has not really being doing anything to win many friends; for instance, on the very first turn the Empire of Ermor received a threatening missive from Marignon. This is extremely odd seeing as Marignon has not even encountered us yet. It has never seemed like good diplomacy to me to threaten and make enemies of other nations before you absolutely have to.

Re: re: capital locations
 

I have heard the decrepid Marignonians incorporate fire into their religion, even though it burns their defective bodies if they embrace it? Blasphemy, say I.

They seem a fallacious people, and I advise anyone who encounters them do spit in their face and crush them, with cruelty, under heavy feet.

-Baal Davar, recently awekened

\"threatening missive from Marignon\"
 

Looks like it is ok to exchange early opinions on players' personalities in this forum thread?

First comes the story, then my analyze.

At the beginnning i receieved lots of in-game messages and emails - polite, rude, humorous, stupid, clever, friendly, threatening (but not from Ermor). I decided to write smth to Ermor and sent him in-game message saying: "Find sites of magic power, i will need them later to cast tartarian gate". Yes, this message could be treated as a threat (a threat to konquer part of the Ermor land someday in the future). And i did not expect Ermor to take it close to heart.

Analyzin cautios in-game answer from Ermor, and post #490251 i came to the followin conclusions:

1) Ermor leader has good memory and ... er... dislikes aggression

2) Other players did not send him any threats, which means there are all cautios strategs.

Re: \"threatening missive from Marignon\"
 

All my communications have been in this thread. So far the great Baal Davar has expressed his disdain for Pangaea and Marignon. Who shall be next? I'm sure you all are shaking in fear. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Micah capital
 

To Micah.

I am interested to know the location of yo capital. U said "more than 10 crystals". I offer 15 fire crystals.

I send u 15 fire crystals on turn 12, and immediately upon receivin turn 13 u write me private email containin the map number. Deal?

Delay
 

I apologize for the delay. I have been waiting for Vanheim's turn, which is taking awhile because confusion over turn number. When I send a turn out (such as "Turn 11") please make sure that the turn you are playing matches the turn i have sent out. Otherwise you can end up sending me orders for the wrong turn, which dont register as you having taken your turn.

Hopefully we will proceed shortly.
thanks.

Turn 12
 

Turn 12 has been sent out.

Re: Turn 12
 

Sorry for the delay... we have been waiting on Agartha. Hopefully I will be able to host when I get home from work.

Turn 14
 

Turn 14 has been sent out. Guess I never posted about Turn 13? Anyway, in the subject to some people I wrote "Turn 13", but I did in fact send the right turn.

Re: Turn 14
 

Nice job guys... only about 16 hours after i hosted and I have 10/14 turns.

Waiting on:
Vanheim

Turn 15
 

Sent out the new turn this morning. Please DO NOT patch until after you have sent the most recent turn to me. I will not patch until after I have hosted. At that point you can patch and then take your new turn. This seems to make the most sense.
thanks

Re: Turn 15
 

Turn 15 sent, and game patched. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Turn 18 sent out

Re: Turn 18
 

Hmmm, haven't received anything yet.

Of course, i expect to have been eliminated this precise turn, but i'd prefer to get a confirmation. And don't i even get a turn file to watch the final battle of my demise? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Turn 18
 

Right, got it now, and as expected, i ended up as an easy meal for the Jotuns.

There had to be a first player eliminated, and that dubious honor falls on me. Not bad for a first MP game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I suppose my main mistake was the pretender design. Not having played Tien Chi before, i went for an awaken rainbow crone, simply to quickly maximise early gem income, and make use of the seemingly polyvalent mages.

Alas, that had me completely unable to expand in the first 3/4 turns, as Tien Chi's starting army is, err, 'poor' to say it politely. And the heavy infantry/cavalry provinces surrounding me didn't help. I deeply regret not having gone for an efficient monster-type pretender to offset the delay in army recruiting...

And then, as i was getting going and slamming the surrounding independants, i fell on the Jotuns, and was trashed.

Oh well, we die and learn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Have fun, and try to post some news of the game from time to time, i'd like to know what happens.
