Re: EA Hellscapes(Sign-up)
 

Ok so Im trying to find another MP game to join as this is my first and only MP game so far and I'm not having any luck finding one on the forums but yet I keep seeing new games starting on LlamaServer Do people just randomly join some of those games without there being a thread in the forum or what?

Where else do you find games to join?

Re: EA Hellscapes(Sign-up)
 

some of those may be tests. just look on this forum is best - a whole bunch were just started so theirs a bit of surfeit.

don't join a game blind - who knows the rules. You would be kicked or set AI.

I know the one called Artifacts Forgery (where you start w/ artifacts) is probably still open - just post.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Sign-up)
 

One possibility is to create a game of your own (its quite easy now thanks to llamabeast) but you shouldnt if there are already lots games going on as it might be hard to fill them. But you can always ask if theres intrest. I think there is an IRC channel for dominions but I wouldnt know much about that.

I dont think I got as bad start as you others did even when my scales include death, drain and, of course, heat 3 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif.

Good to see the site and forums are back up. The new look is a lot better I think.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

The foul smelling giants of Hinnom have launched an assault on the dainty, sweet smelling giants of Fomoria. If you are concerned about the astronomical lead Hinnom has in all charts, you might consider joining in on our defense. Alternatively, we could all just agree that Hinnom is the one true pretender now.

Fomoria chooses to fight, at least until they start eating us. That is pretty scary.

Cheers, DC of Fomoria

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I no case what so ever is the nation of Citis going to just surrender whoever the foe is. We shall fight to the last lizard! But of course fortunately to us the nation of Hinnom is no where near us (I actually dont know where it is due to the complete absence of scouts in our recruits, I guess a lizard stands out too well in a crowd:D).

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

well after seeing the first battles, i think this is going to be a quick one. Fomorian bookies have hinnom at 100:1.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

the sneaky formorians are inz our gardens and stealing our cabbages!

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

yeah, but they missed that 800gp temple :(

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

that was a really close fight... luckily i had some troop reinforcements passing through. It is certainly true that I think Hinnom PD needs to be nerfed (use their unarmored troops that no one ever buys as the pd) - that's the biggest issue w/ them IMO. also, some stat reductions on their troops, and lowering their preferred temp to heat-1 - those would go a long way to balancing them out

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

i should have waited to be sure the coast was clear. but your vanilla troops are way tougher than I imagined! i think hinnom may earn the status of a nation that needs to be ganged up on immediately like LA Ermor...

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

hey, i'm losing internet connectivity at the place where i'm staying :(

so, even though otherwise i've been enjoying the good pace, if we could go to 48 hrs as per the game post, I would much appreciate it. I can't realistically do 24 hr hosting as d/ling and u/ling turns is going to be somewhat iffy

and the faithless micts are about to attack me ;)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

No problem. It seems that all of my neighbors are trying to get a piece of me, so I forgot it was turn 20.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

The grace of Niefelheim goes far, but will be abused by none!
This is the last warning to all in the Niefel land, leave now and you will be spared othervice we will order a full scale attack.
Niefelheim claims dominion over land Ralothia 55, Mitclan will either leave or will be killed, and Rlyeh will retreat underwater or suffer the same fate.
The Lord of Winter has spoken.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Fomoria has been liberated in the first blow dealt to the cannibals of Hinnom. We call upon all Hinnom's neighbors to strike now while the evil brutes are forced to deal with the Fomorian insurgency!

And beware, Hinnom has taken control of the site that allows one to recruit Daoine Sidhe, so in addition to everything else, they now have stealthy, sacred, glamoured troops.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

meh, i just buy the sidhe for kicks. i have no sneaky leaders, and a crap bless... so :)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

yeah, well I didn't get a massive flood of help with my last Call to Arms, so thought I'd throw in that tidbit. :)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

you got one of the strongest empires in the game to annul the just-created nap, and go to war against me... or you're needing more of a flood than that?

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

It is an honor to hear this from you ... but it is my first multiplayer war and first game with/vs Hinnon ever ... either i overestimated my units or i totally underestimated the Hinnon forces ... regardless of which you kicked my *** in our first battle.

You've won the battle but not the war ... i hope this one is true ;-)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

that's true - you're one of the biggest empires from the score graphs, but not necessarily so experienced. I won that battle to about the same extent I had lost the battle against Formoria, when he finally decided to leave his walls :)

corazon was just overly whining for someone who just kicked my butt ;p

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

nah, when i see someone leading in research, income, army, dominion, provinces...i think that whining is completely justified. :)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Whiners or not, you should beware the maybe not as mighty as few others but mighty still nation of Abysia. We started from the very corners of the world, far from harm, and shall cover the lands with our infernal flames....

Just little advertisement since Im not in the center of action here:D.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Abysia's in this game? I was wondering what that warm glow out west was! :)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I think they are to the North east actually... North of Lanka. I could be wrong though I havent seen them yet, I guess if I conquered that Indy province I'd border them.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

People really dont know about our existence? Then I guess we have the element of suprise...

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Ok, I sent in my turn to the server but it is not updating and showing that I sent my turn in, nor has it given me a reciept to show I did so.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

yah, something's up w/ llamaserver - no indication that it is accepting sent turns - the mailserver seems down. best to pause the game until we figure out what's what.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

They say its working now in the other thread (madwar-game). You can give it another go.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Yeah its working.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

If anyone is in need of Astral, Death or Nature gems I will trade evenly for Earth Gems. I have a few water and Fire gems to trade as well. just PM me with what you need and how many and I'll let you exactly how many I can trade.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

sorry i'm the latest to get my turns in atm - big war, intermittant internet, travelling, and too many darn games ;p

but i should be home sunday, and dead in one of the games, so i should be up to speed in 3 turns

of course, given i'm being jumped by two powerful adversaries, this may all be moot soon enough :)

I would like to propose an international conferance for the restricting of the inhumane and disgusting mis-use of electicity as a battlefield weapon. ;p

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I'm afraid the Rakshasa Kings can't support such a restriction. ;)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

The Rakshasa Kings would like to celebrate our NAP with the goatmen of Pangaea.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Mmmh ... dom3 crashes when i try to open the new turn ... anybody else experiencing this problem ?

PS: already tried the resend turn file

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

You need to download the latest patch 3.20.
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwint...DOM3_page.html
You'll find it here.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

oh ... didn't know that even the running games will be updated .. i thought the i have to play with the same version the game has been started ...

thx executor for the info

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

It would appear that both Lanka and Pangaea are trying to put out the Abysian flames, and Hinnom is being attacked from all directions, whilst Rlyeh is surely planning a military campaign of its own with all that army building up.

And while the entire world is at war, the blue flames of Niefelheim grow stronger and await the right moment to fulfill their destiny and became the rulers of this world!!!

Wait...

EDIT: Muahahahahahahaha!!!!
That's better.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

All that army building up :eek: ? Why whatever do you mean? :D

R'lyeh has absolutely nothing but peaceful intentions. I assure you that what you see is simply a small peacekeeping force (Insert R'lyeh Mind control)... Yeah thats it... preparing to... errr Keep the peace or something kind of like that.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I pity those two nations that try to defy our insanely powerful realm. The wrath of Furriculus shall burn you like maggots in the inferno!

Ok but seriously were done for but we wont go down easily, and I even think the abysian dominion is leading in the graphs (leading or second). I just almost got a dom kill for Lanka but I totally underestimated the power of palanakshas (or something similar) and a water 9 bless. My only confrontations with Lanka is in this game and in one that im currently playing and oh dear I didnt know they were that good. Id better try them myself and see what they can do...

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Fomoria took the worst scales ever so will never be a real threat to anyone. It was my last experiment with Production, which I am convinced is useless. Anyway, we seem to have beaten back the cannibals with our "shock" and awe campaign, but we have become a backwards nation probably soon to follow Abysia into the history books.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

This is a message from Mictlan to all the leaders in Hellscape ...

the evil cold blooded giants of Niefelheim declared war to our friendly nation ... you will for sure say : i don't care ... but you all should care ... every (even minor) skilled spy should have told there leaders, that Niefelheim holds the most provinces, has the biggest income and has an enormous army of double blessed niefel giants ... to sum up they are the biggest powerhouse in Hellscape an by far the greatest menace for every nation.
But again ... why should you care if the declare war to me and not to you ... let me explain ... i was getting kicked pretty hard from Hinnon in our bloody long lasting war ... I'm realistic and know that i don't have a chance to stop Niefel ( nevertheless i will cause Niefelheim a warm welcoming in the hot Mictlan lands). If they manage to conquer my lands without trouble, they will be most likely unstoppable ... and that's the point where you will care ( but is likely too late then ) ...
The best i could do is to slow and bind ( a part of ) their army. This would be your chance to stop ... so nations of Hellscape ... don't let our beautiful lands become unfriendly ice desert.

Greetings

Mictlan

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

perhaps you should consider defending your homelands rather than continuing a fruitless invasion of my lands w/ all your forces then? As I see it, some large and very cold chickens are coming home to roost :)

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

We are pleased with such compliment of our might, but our decision to strike was but an answer to Hinnoms call to arms against you that came a little late due to heavy snow and slippery roads.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

heh - I think we may have actually forgotten to send the invitations, but We are glad you are coming to the party ;)

Protip: jaguar warriors are good braised, especially w/ some fresh thyme.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Can I have a 48h extension please? I am having troubles with my internet connection.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

i pm'ed him too... hopefully he checks the thread before host.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Ooo, sorry. I didn't check this turn.

Do we need a rollback? If three agree I'll do it (a rollback helps me, so I should stay neutral).

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

i'm fine either way

but if he wants one, sure.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

Fine with me - haven't even looked at my turn and I won't.

Re: EA Hellscapes(Play!)
 

I'm against a rollback ... this was one of the few ( to be honest very few) turns that something went good for me ... i killed the Hinnon pretender and two of his really annoying thugs ... i rollback would be unfair for me
