Just waiting on Morkilus and Rathar, now

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Sorry about the wait, guys. I'm ready now.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Ok kissblade - sorry you are having troubles man. Hope it gets better.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

So, I'm considering cutting Rathar from the lineup. We've been waiting for uploads for three days without hearing from him. No response to the PMs I've sent, either. I think what I will do is just wait until the map prepared by Sheap (which should be later today) and then if he hasnt gotten in by that time, we will just start without him. I hate to do it - but then I hate to make 9 players sit around for only 1. :/

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

People who are slow to start tend to be slow during the game as well.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Good idea, since anyone delaying the start is likely to just cause more delays as the game progresses.

We are The Quick and The Dead, and hopefully not Dead in the Water.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Eep. I work a lot on the weekened! If not too late I'll shoot something up asap!

Rathar

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Hmm I knew this was going to happen.. I create a god connect to the server, try to upload and it says I haven't created a god. Done it three times now.. Any clues?

Patched to 3.04 got cb and worthy up and on.. Ermm?

Rathar

N.M. I knew I was being an idiot and I figured out how. Pretender uploaded, sorry for the wait.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

We use patch 3.06 just in case you didn't do a typing error http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I talked to Ironhawk, who let me join in the last minute as pangea. Pretender uploaded.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Indeed. All pretenders are now accounted for. I have relayed the pretenders to Sheap (who is unfortunately at work today http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif ) and he has told me he will have the map ready by tonight. Whenever I get it, I will start the game.

So look for your first turn tonight or tomorrow morning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Ok guys - server is started! Game on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good Luck to everyone. Remember you can't launch ANY attacks for the first three turns

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

By ANY attacks, I assume you include indy provinces?

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

In the 'pretenders of the world' list there is still KissBlade as Patala.

Did he change his mind and play now?

We are 11 pretenders in the game, announced were 10.

Just to clarify http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

By the looks of the start, this is going to be a hectic game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Yep, you can't attack players OR indies for the first three turns.

Kissblade did indeed decide to play again. Additionally, I also allowed Mivayan in at the last minute since he had offered to play as a replacement when we were one player down.

This is definitely going to be a hectic game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I am starting to regret having a dormant god D:

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Oh wow, yeah you are in trouble. I was talking to another player who said he was also worried because he had a "weak" pretender. This game definitely benefits a strong, awake, combat pretender, thats for sure!

But on the brighter side, with the 3-turn cease fire, you only need to survive 9 turns before your pretender wakes up.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

True, but if I can survive the initial mayhem, my choice of good scales may pay off!

maybe http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I share that hope FAJ! Well.. For me that is, not you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I'm just hoping my game plan for this game doesn't turn out to be made of tissue paper as oh so many of them seem to be..

Rathar

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Turn 2 up!

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Turn 3 is up. No attacks this turn!

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Ughhhhhhhh

One of my sages was just assassinated by a Ninja http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

So much for these fortune tellers preventing bad events!!

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I find it very odd that I already have 4 commanders in the Hall of Fame.

To my neighbors, beware. If you find your food stores broken into and your barnyards raided after a dark night, know that one of my scouts apparently has an insatiable gluttony problem and is now unequaled in his obesity.

Assuming he can still lift his bulk off the ground, I'll demand he fly back to my capital and undergo gastrointestinal bypass surgery.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Turn 4 is up. Should we announce it every time? Seems usefull to do.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Yeah I have a random mage I bought in the hall of fame for no reason as well.

Feel free to announce the turns as you see fit. For my part as the host, I will announce this:

Turn 4 has been reached and the global cease-fire is over. Feel free to now attack indys or other players. Good luck to all!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Has anyone declared war already? I saw some big dips in troop numbers this turn.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I'm not at war with anyone, but my big fat scout fell out of the sky and squished 3 Ermorian Legions.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Pan lost a province from what I saw ...

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Yeah. Impossible to tell if someone took it from them or if they lost it to indies tho. Any comments, Pan?

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Curse those scales having an effect the events!

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Are you sure this game has 65% magic sites? Not a single death site in my whole glory empire http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

turn 7 is up. Ermor's castles are breeding! So sayeth the graphs.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

It should be 65 sites, yeah. Tho I just searched a mountain prov myself and found absolutely nothing which was a shock.

Guess if you want those death gems you will have to go to war with your neighbor!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Rocks have a longer lifespan than flesh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Geez, you weren't kidding!! Ermor must have like 5 forts now?? How can you afford that AND have the biggest army?

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I dont think ermor: ashen empire is putting gold into armies...

also, turn 8 is up.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Thats weird. I was in the game 2 hours ago and the only turn missing was that from agartha. Now agartha finished his turn but c'tis apears as 'not played'. I'm nearly sure his state was 'played' 2 hours ago.

However c'tis missed his last turn too...

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Im not in the same state as my computer. I will play my turn tonight when i get back.

I hope nobody attacked me while i was stale!

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Actually, sheap has informed me that LA Ermor is broken. They recieve extra gold to counterbalance thier death dominion. But that dominion is broken in dom3 and their population doesnt die off nearly fast enough. So the result is that Ermor effectively has a gold bonus compared to other nations http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Away
 

So, my grandmother has died and I must return to CT for the funeral. I'll be away until Wednesday but should hopefully be able to play my turns remotely most of the time. Sheap has offered to cover for me if need be. Unfortunately, the server is running on my home machine - so if it crashes I wont be here to restart it until I return.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Oh Drat.. C'tis was staling. Hmm What to do what to do..

Rathar

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

A gold bonus? I didn't see any gold bonus playing ermor. I've 200% tax (and high patroller) in home and ~110% taxes in other provinces and sometimes higher with patrollers, its all totally normal. Income is going down very fast with every point of dominion killing your people.

Look at the graphs. Did you see any bonus?

I'm not sure about die rate of population, maybe they die a little slower then in dom2.
But income/resources got a huge increase in dom3 overall and ermor do benefit from that only a small fraction (at the start of the game). So this could be a small compensation.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

How long has C'tis been staling? Do we need to find a sub?

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

C'tis mentioned something about not being in the same state as his computer. Did he only stale two turns?

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I only staled once afaik.

Was away for one weekend.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Ok cool

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

I staled once beacuse I played my turn offline, then apparantly forgot to upload it.

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

LOL!!! I cant believe none of you even sent a commander to the deathmatch! I won by default http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Long live the warriors of Midgard I guess hahahaha
