Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Yeah....what's up with this???? How long can the first turn take??????

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Well a lot of vacillation, come on folks. Let just move along, (jeesh, its like herding cats)...

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I'm in a game called Dark Paradise. It started on June 30th and we are on turn 32. At this rate we can open turn 32 for Christmas.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

well, personally I would like to restart the game with balanced starting positions....but I am one vote

llama has a proposed starting setup, I suggest we take it or this game will be down to 3 players in about 10 turns.

You guys decide

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I vote nay, nein, nyet...

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I'm the last to send it in. I stayed up until 4:30 AM last night, so I know it didn't get hosted until this morning (I think I checked my email before I went to sleep). I think 12 hours is a reasonable amount of time to play my turn, so take it easy guys http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, unless someone has a major, specific grievance, I think we should just play.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Although I will say that especially since this is a newbie game, if anyone has less than 3 provinces adjacent to their capital or are less than 3 provinces away from an opponent, we may want to restart. That said, I have 4 adjacent to mine, and I'm fine with that.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I didn't think of that, I will abide the results of the vote. The one reason I don't want a restart is simply it will add much more time to get going. Sorry if I seem testy but I spent my morning waiting for some action and got one lousy turn in. I'm in five games and no motion whatsoever. Lesson one learned, don't wait for a game, it will happen v e r y s l o w l y. The one game that it didn't happen was the best, "dark paradise". I died early...

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I have one major problem and that is, I CAN'T STOP JOINING GAMES, I'm in 7 games and starting 1 more!
So this is probably going to be a very very fast game ( I'll win of course ) with these starting provinces, but what the hell WAR ON!!!
We'll make BlitzKrieg 2 when we finish this one too fast!

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I have 2 provinces (not including the capitol) which are both wasteland and a very small island with another 'good ol boy' on it.

since I just played my second turn I guess i'm stuck with it.

I just wanted to know if it was random generated so that I would know what to expect in future games.

I plyed SP with this same group 4 times to see how the races would start and in 3 of 4 they all started in pretty much the same place.

This time they where almost 180 opposite.

I will live and learn so that next time I will adress this before we start.

If you want to start over, GREAT.....but I don't see that happening now.

So good luck and take pity on a poor begger if he stops by and asks for a gold piece to feed his pitiful little army of militia because thats all he can afford (sigh)....

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I wouldn't if this game lived up to its name. My scales aren't the best you've ever seen, which typically means I'm best suited to a quick to medium length game.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Hey, if you are screwed that much grudge, I will change my vote. So in this case I change my vote to restart. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

It it random generated, never really occurred to me to set up starting provinces, but I guess it's too late now, and if it's any consolation I also started in the waste Grudge, just hope nobody's near me or they're suffer a terrible fate, a swift death by my hand.

So Bwaha Grudge and I are for restart should we???
If we do restart, do we use the start locations I suggested, and anticipatient I also wanted this game up and running as fast as possible, but with my luck, my life is basically turnmoil 3 misfortune 3!

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

IF we change, please look at world of warhammer. It has fixed positions already, so arranging a good game will be easy.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Thanks I really am screwed.....and world of warhammer is a GREAT map. a little hard on my old eyes but a really great looking map!!

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I really like the underground connections,

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

they have underground connections in the warhammer map?

Man, I am not very observant....

where are a couple so I can check them out.

I know about the caves but not the connections.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I've received a number of PM's regarding this game, so we'll restart after all unfortunately.
World of Warhammer is too big bwaha it has about 210 provinces that is too much for 8 players, that makes it 26 per players, and if we decided to play that map we'd have to take on more players which will take more time... and so on!

So,we restart, I'll work out best starting locations with Llama, and when we start again I expect to speed up a little we wasted too much time already!

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I hope everything is fine now Grudge,
check your starting provinces if they are the once I suggested on the previous page, I think they're rather fair.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

*finds out the game has restarted*

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Sorry, old game, Old rpg game that had shotgun weddings and stuff... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Is this game on 48 or maybe even 72 hours??? It should be set to 24 until MAYBE turn 50. Even then...... If it is on 48 hours from turn one, I'm gonna hafta think real hard about continuing.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

It ought to be 24, isn't it on 24? I'm not very good with time zones.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Not sure when I played my turn, but next turn isn't due to 11 or so TUESDAY morning. I know I played the turn either this morning (Sunday).

I just hate thinking about waiting 48 hours to play a turn that takes less than 5 minutes. And I have been around these games long enough to know, that if you give the gang 7 days, someone will want one more day...cuz 7 just aint enough time.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I think someone is sulking... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Oh jeez, I thought I sent that damned turn in! Sorry guys.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Okay, who set up these start locations?

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

>I think someone is sulking...

Ok,Ok!!! I'll stop whining. Just got spoiled with Dark Paradise.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Yes, when that game is over I want a rematch with the dark paradise players... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Jim, the game's on 24 hours interval with quick-host on.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

I mean it, really, did someone assign these starting locations or did we randomly restart?

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

The starting positions are
38, 27, 39, 76, 106, 123, 124, 79

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Okay. Well they weren't correctly assigned. I'm happy to play with things as they are, but I know for a fact that at least one of those is wrong. I have a very, very close neighbor. :p

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

You should have said something earlier, I posted a reminder to check if the starting lands were OK,
So, do you wanna keep going like this or what, I'd hate to restart again but if it's a BIG problem...

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

OK, everyone was really good about when I was screwed.

I just checked my map and see 6 crowns (what I assume are capitols), I don't know why I can't see the others but here is what I have showing on my map.

Do these show the same on other peoples maps?

124...118...75...6...(these next 2 are right on a line so it could be one or the other)either 90 or 103...141 or150.

most have 4 to 5 provinces between them I has 3.

What ever you guys want to do I will go along....if its start over for Anticipatiant then I say lets do it and stay in the game and not get frustrated.

If its continue, maybe they could have some diplomacy. And lets continue.

You vote I will abide by the majority.. Anticipatiant if your close to me I will work something out with you.

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

No, don't want to restart! Just wanted Exec know for his edification http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Uh, and also I wanted to vent just a little.

But it's okay, really. Anyway, I couldn't say anything earlier, because I didn't see my neighbor until turn 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

Yeah, the crowns show the same, but the crowns aren't the capitols. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

>Anyway, I couldn't say anything earlier, because I didn't >see my neighbor until turn 2.


And aint he good lookin???

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

The crowns arn't capitols?

What are they then and why have them?

Just curious

Re: BlitzKrieg - EA private game
 

They're victory points. They're built into the map. In this case, they may have higher chance of magic sites, but basically they DON'T MATTER, since this is a fight to the death. You can ignore the crowns. I believe, in fact, we may have been mistaken in restarting in the first place, unless you had any, er, confirmed sightings http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
