I've also got a blue dragon breathing down my neck already. Hi Tien Chi! I might be out very quick.

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
 

i knew making my hero the prophet would advertise its arrival. but i couldn't resist.

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
 

v 3.14 is now available. do we go ahead and patch our games? will this affect the MP we have going right now?

edit: nvm. question answered in another thread. thanks llama.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Did Marverni quit?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Nope.. Marverni still in business, life just happened to get in the way.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Hello Lanka, Niefelheim and R'lyeh, how are we doing this fine day?

Not much time for chatting. Have some conquest job to be done. For barter, speak to me wife. Keep yer eye open. She's lookin for some fresh bones for a soup."

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

You're just a bit too far away, Ulm, but Lanka is enjoying an amusing view of Tien Chi's might blue dragon staring down a Niefelheim Jarl. Our demons are hoping to see some blood.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Just had an odd problem,

received the turn 9 file at 10:12am then got the turn 10 file at 10:40am.

anyone else skip turn 9?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

It came normally for me. You probably have something wrong with your e-mail delivery. Check your message for #9 and see when it was sent.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

yeah your right Loren, it was sent Thu 31/01/2008 11:01 AM.
Random bugger then..

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

That Jarl owned my dragon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif At least he was smart enough to run from an SC with frost resistance.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Thrawn, let's set a second round in capital of Lanka.
Demon apes wanted to see some blood. We shall give them a bit. Do you agree Randvek?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Not sure that would be the best for either of you. It's quite hot in Lanka!

I guess I am the nice warm filling between two cold nations. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Three! Ulm is kinda cold too you know.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Ah. I must profess that I don't know very much about Ulm.

You guys really should come visit Lanka and learn the joys of getting a tan.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

A tempting offer, Randvek... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

hEad unfortunately can't carry on playing Marverni due to person issues. I will take the current turn, and see if it's worth looking for a sub.

This also reminded me that I forgot to ask if anyone would be happy to be the admin for this game? It's hard for me to keep track of all the different games going on, so if someone actually playing could be the admin that would be great. All the admin has to do is postpone hostings and stuff if people ask for it. It's all very easy via the website. Any volunteers?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

If it's that easy as you say llamabeast, I'll do it.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Awesome, thanks Falkor. I'll PM you the password. If you get eliminated from the game, please ask someone else to take over (or PM me as a last resort), since carrying on admin-ing once you're not in the game is no fun.

Everyone else: Please ask Falkor if you need something admin-y doing.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Nope. Thank you for hosting and adminnig all these games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

I've just set Marverni to AI - it wasn't looking like a fun position, and they are at least bordered by at least two nations, so they will still have to fight over the scraps!

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

It seems like a lot of people are running into borders quite quickly. I know I have 6 provinces currently, and border 5 other nations (hello Tien Chi, Neifel, Agartha, Ulm, and, uh, I forget the other). Marverni's position sounds enviable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

5 nations! Looks like youve got a lot of diplomacy to do. Abysia has currently 2 border nations and has already started a ferocious assault against Ermor (prophets army with 17 troopers left but still raiding provinces)!

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Don't you love it when...

the turn you get a good Conjuration spell, your lab burns down?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

My early spreading and research stopped nicely in to a famine in my capital (the was lots of unrest). Luckily we abysians have an extra source of income in fire gems.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Ouch. Sounds like lots of bad luck going around.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

haha. I had the "1/5 population leaves" on my capital city around turn 4 or 5. ouch!

I had my pretender die on turn 3. that wasn't luck as much as personal stupidity/overambition. big ouch.

I hoping I'm just not the first one out. I got a nice defenisible strip of land, and about to get some decent spells (finally, lost tons of research while Calling God back)

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Well I guess this is what happens when you take death scales and drain scales to boost your goods power http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Sounds like a bad idea.

What's *REALLY* bad is death + misfortune.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

>>>Lizard hunting season opens in C'tis.
Everyone is invited. You get one cold (actually frozen) meal a day and can keep all your trophys!
Interested? Speak with Friedleif the Master Hunter of Nifel Mountains.

If you plan hunting on your own you have to travel to the southern C'tis. No lizards and no fun in the north.<<<

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

>>>The hunting season has to be closed.
As the pesky lizards organized an effective defence the hunting became too dangerous.<<<

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

We just want our swampland. But it's so cold there, we need to pack a couple space heaters with us.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

You gave me a good lesson Elswamio. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
We will see if I learnt something.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Well guys, Tien Chi has invaded Lanka with a sizable force. Considering how boxed in I was from the beginning, I doubt I'll have the resources to repel him.

Wish me luck, else I might be out already.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

I hope we teach eachother a lot.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Anyone else having problems getting their turns in? I've sent my turn twice to llamaserver and have yet to receive a confirmation email...it's been an hour so far, usually it's pretty quick...

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Still nothing after 3 hours, would it be possible to get a 24 hour extension on the turn?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

The server hasn't received my turn either.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

It got my turn tough...

Ok I heard from an other game that the server was down but its now fixed so just resend your turns.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

I hope everyone sent turn file in time. I was too slow to react. But the pretender file I sent during the breakdown for another game was accepted later. I think it should work the same for turn files.
Slobby, ThatGuyBob everything all right with your turns?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Yes, the 3 turns I sent in I guess got saved and all 3 went through at 3am. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

It got it both 1:35am, whew!

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Lanka is pretty hosed, I think. I'm only playing one more turn because I want to throw everything I have at Tien Chi and see what I can do.

Ulm and Agartha, feel free to invade what's left of Lanka. And please, continue on to the lands of the betrayers, Tien Chi. I may not have been able to beat his army, but I've put a very significant dent into it, and he should be weak. Heck, I might even wound or drop his dragon this turn. Wish me luck on that.

*sigh* I must really be bad. Getting into position beyond salvageable before turn 20 in a newbie game. Seriously unenjoyable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

wow that Niefel hero is a killer. I hope I can research a counter while I still have a capitol.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Sounds like I may not be alone going out early, eh C'tis?

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

I guess I exagerated a bit, but I'm guessing his counter attack will hurt more than my initial offense.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

I was actually working on getting my army down to Niefelheim to get him from the other side when Tien Chi hit me. No idea if he would have spanked me, but it would have been interesting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Nothing interesting down there.
You would only found swamp, marsh, bog, some more swamp and a bunch of nasty lizards chasing my giants. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Alright, I've given my gems away and Lanka is going AI. The situation is beyond saving.

Falkor, if I didn't do it properly, could you set Lanka AI after the current turn? I think I did it right, but I'm not sure.

Peace.
