Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Will we get email notification when the game has started?

I know we get the email for every turn after the 1st one.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I can not connect to the server so I guess the game has not started yet?

Looks like Shinuyama gets a scout for its starting army in the next patch, so I don't mind waiting for the next version. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

The game has started. If you supplied your email you should have gotten a notification via email. If I missed your email, please let me know!

Good luck everyone!

Remember - 24 hour turns with autohosting for the first couple weeks.

If anyone has a starting position where they don't border at least 3 provinces, please let me know ASAP!

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Velusion,

can you edit the 1st post to contain the final map? Eventually there will be a sub or 2 and it is easier to direct them to the 1st post.

I am guessing the races/players have already been adjusted.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

The link didn't change for the map - I simply updated the zip file.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I've updated the main post to reflect that you must hold 50% of the provinces for 3 turns for victory (or have everyone surrender).

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

You should have let me play Lanka! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Velusion, I agree with Xietor that there should be a link to the map in the first post.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Ummm... there IS a link in the first post. ?

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Hi, I'm subbing for EvilHomer temporarily. I can't seem to find the IP address and Port. Can someone please PM me? Thanks.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Vfb sent me the ip address. Thanks!

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

It's not coming up as a clickable link. But you can just cut and paste it.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Yea for some reason the forum code keeps breaking the clickable link everytime I update the orginial post.

Just cut and paste.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

wow a sub already!

Welcome aboard Lolomo.

The ever peaceful Wise Men of Pythium wish you joy and happiness.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

i cant connect to the server. everytime i start to load the map image i got some nagot gick fel bad package thingie

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Please try downloading the map from here (link copied from the 1st post in the thread):

http://67.66.187.69/dominions3/fallacy.zip

unzip it into your dominions maps directory, and it won't need to download the map in the game from the server.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

3 hours with three players to go

Calling Tien-chi, Marignon and Ulm! Your trains are leaving at platform 1.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Hehe, thanks Xietor. But I will be subbing only for like a turn or two.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

"Hehe, thanks Xietor. But I will be subbing only for like a turn or two."

Yeah, that is what EH usually says. On turn 11 you will be wondering what is up!

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

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

Hopefully not this time around. I am currently doing turn 2, so lolomos short sub is over now (thanks for the help by the way).

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Welcome back EH.

Glad you got the Puter fixed!

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Jeezum-i hate quiet game threads.

Let me liven it up a bit:

Some races with SC pretenders, who sit in the hall of fame, have decided to blast ahead for an early lead in provinces/income/gems. A bold strategy to be sure. But also tends to make neighbors worry a bit.

Another drawback to blitz type expansion with your pretender is shown by a glance at the Hall of Fame. Two races have already lost their pretenders. Which reminds me of the story about a race between a turtle and a hare......

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Yes, pesky fast expanders....

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Are their pretenders truly lost? Have their bodies been seen lying face down on the field of battle, carried to the tomb of heros, and interned within? For some, death is just a quick trip home. For others, well, even those that truly die may be called back.

On another note...

We have happened across a trove of nature gems, and would seek to trade some for pearls. If you would trade pearls for nature gems, one-for-one, please PM vfb. Edit: Our trade has been accomplished, so the offer is now closed.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

host down?

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Host was down for about an hour or so while the server was getting patched.

It's back up now!

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Fixed my PHP / Vista problems so the status page is back!

This is using Ich's upgraded script.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Ah.. got to love the status page, cheers Velusion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Why has the game not hosted? Hour past due. I assume we are not downloading the patch until this present turn hosts?

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I think the indies are tougher than normal. That is what i get for not reading the 1st page more carefully.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Connected and running okay on 3.14 ... thanks again for all your hosting and server maintenance, Velusion! Much appreciated.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

So, is the server 3.14 now, or still 3.10?

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

It's 3.14. I connected with 3.10 and it said version too low. So I retried at 3.14 and it worked fine.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I can't seem to connect to server? Oh well I will try to send my turn in the morning (Australia time).

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

The server seems to be rebooting itself about once a day... I'm looking into it. grrrr.....

Games are up (for now)

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

She's down Captain, down!

I blame Society(tm).

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

It's back up now. Just did my turn.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I hate those indies...

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

I concur.

Re: Fallacy - New Game (Sign-up)
 

Indies make the world go round. I love them. I wish there were more of them. I wish the whole world was indies. Wait, that's SP.

Re:Trade
 

Trading 1:1

Wanted earth or fire gems

Trading water and air

Due to overwhelming demand, i am halting the trading for now.

Re:Trade
 

Have I mentioned that I hate those indies? Agartha has to rely on foreign forces to get rid of them... what a shame! What a humiliation! We should just sit in our cave, worship a boulder and wait til a real god shows some mercy and frees us abberations of nature of our meaningless existance.

Re:Trade
 

I have water gems for sale. msg me if you want the best in town.

Re:Trade
 

My indies have been knights. elephants, 20 heavy cavalry. Sledding has been slow. But now that my pretender is finally awake, i anticipate no further problems!

Your diplomat has been expelled
 

The belligerent ambassador of Bandar appeared before the Lizard King of C'tis this month, to demand that we sell our land to them. Such brazen audacity will not be tolerated in our court! The province you demand is as close to our capitol as it is to yours. C'tis expels the ambassador of Bandar from our lands forthwith.

Since the aggressive demands of your servant violate the spirit of the non-aggression pact that existed between Bandar and C'tis, that pact is now cancelled.

If you would have the province of Ard for your own, then send an army there in three months, when midsummer is upon the lands, and the mutual obligations of our treaty have been discharged.

C'tis

Re: Your diplomat has been expelled
 

Seems ulm is going for stalled turn nr 3 now...

Re: Your diplomat has been expelled
 

Sorry.

This has by far been my most embarissing MP game yet, starting with my inincible cyclops dying of a diesease on turn four,and then most of my troops getting wiped out by independants. Using I always practice a nation first But I didn;t do it that much this time. Those ulm infantry just aren't as tough as I was expecting.

Now I have Shinuyama at my door. And with their low resource high strength troops, ulms armor doesn't help much. I was planning to contiue fighting, as I usually do, but in the few times I have been able to try my turn with my busy work schdule, I had conection problems to the Velusions server.


So sorry. Usually I take MP games more seriously then I have this one.

I would continue fighting but I cannot connect, and with the state of my troopsit is not worth figuring out my connection problems. Velusion, please set me to AI.

Re: Your diplomat has been expelled
 

Just set Ulm to AI moments ago.

No prob Dr_D

Re: Your diplomat has been expelled
 

"Screeching idiots!", Rex the Titan said. "I specifically told you to ask not demand! What this will cost us in reparations to renew is all your fault!". With this, the horde of advisor apes moderated their screeching to a muted crooning and fell to grooming to dissipate the nervous tension.

Being stuck in the corner with nowhere to expand kind of sucks! No indies in 5 or so turns for me..

Not interested in war, nuh uh nope not me! At least, not with the biggest player!
