Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Didn't realize I hadn't been set to accept PMs -- and I hadn't checked this thread in a while due to being a little busy in RL. Oops. I'm clear to accept messages now, though I doubt it'll matter -- my noobishness has basically put me in a position I don't think I can recover from. (I consistently underestimated the amount of troops it would take to fight both independents and Ashdod, and now it looks like I've probably missed some diplomacy attempts.) Looks like I'm not going to be taking my first game ever by storm... :o

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Euarchus will take over the game from me, at least temporarily. Would it be possible to send the turns to him for now?

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Need water and astral gems. Have all other kind of gems for trade.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

it would be possible, but i need his email address to do so

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Some changes:
I need S gems only now, exchange rates are:
with D and E :1 to 1,
with W,A,F,N I pay 1.5 of any of these gems for 1 S.

If you are site searching by spells, it will boost your search 1.5 times

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I am seeking a Skull Staff. I will pay in any type of gems for one. Quantities to be haggled over :)

I am also interested in a Dwarven Hammer. Again any type of gems in exchange.

PM me if interested.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Bandar Log and Machaka would like to make public our defensive alliance.

Meaning, if anyone cancels an NAP with one alliance member, the other has to cancel any NAP he may have with that power.

And, of course, if anyone ATTACKS an alliance member, the other member is obligated to attack in kind.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Machaka confirms the existence of this pact. The Spiderking is very pleased to announce the existence of this pact!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

People I have a problem.

Last night my computer has crashed so I won't be able to play. I have no idea of the problem so I dont know how much time I will be unable to play. Please dont look for a sub until it is clear that I will be gone for more than a few days. More information when I will know more about what appened.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Bandar Log and Machaka are happy to announce that C'tis has joined our defensive alliance!

If anyone cancels a NAP with one of the BMC alliance members, then any possible NAPs with the other BMC alliance members will also be made void.

If anyone attacks an alliance member, the other BMC members will in retaliation engage the aggressor.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

It looks like the game becomes more team vs team :)) The question will be if it will be teams 3x3x3.... or 4x4x.4... or something else :).

Btw. Is it a defensive alliance? What if someone from alliance attacks someone out of alliance?

I propose an idea, btw. Let's all together sign common defensive alliance against UFO and people from other planets, and pronounce any mutual wars illegal. And let's win the smartest, not strongest. Arcane Nexus rush!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

You may have wanted to read the text of the alliance-announcement before posting.

Its a *defensive* alliance, that should tell you everything. :-)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

There is no such thing as a defensive alliance, my noble pans see this new entente as a blatant provocation!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

C'tis is proud to joind the glorious nations of Bandar Log and Machaka on the path of peace and prosperity

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Who will defend the world from defenders :) ?

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

It was only a problem with the power button so everything is back but it's a pity I did'nt get even a 24h delay.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Small nations have to defend each other, else we all will be gobbled up real fast. This a multiplayer game where diplomacy is very important, believing one can just bully through to victory without co-operation with others is perhaps not the smartest thing to do :)

We three share common borders with each other, and we border the current superpowers in the game. If our defensive alliance is a deterrent to an evil nation planning an attack on one of us, then we have succeeded with our goal :)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I suggest we set arco to AI now.

He's staled out recently and is about to get finished off anyway, so why wait for him to stale again?

thanks

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I've already eliminated him...

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

the game is now on a 48h timer

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I need boots E+1 , please let me know if someone can do them for me.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Caelum is not long for this world. A couple of missteps have resulted in our armies ending up as roadkill in front of silly-large Jotunheim armies.

One victory does not a war win .... unfortunately.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I feel your pain. Agartha's on the verge of falling to the giant armies of Ashdod. My noobishness clearly doomed me. Still, it was entertaining! (And I take some consolation from not being the first player eliminated, which surprised me.)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Well Caelum is finished and Jotunheim appears to be about to taste a somewhat Phyrric victory as the vultures descend from all quarters.

Caelum set to AI.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Have a site with hydromansers (w3 mages). Not very useful for Rleh, so if someone has a mage recruiting site which is more useful for Rleh like silver order and needs water mages, I'm open for exchange.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Jotun Jarl is pleased to announce that treacherous plans of Ctissian tyrant to blietzkrieg Jotunheim out of the map have failed miserably. Brave warriors of Jotunheim lured Ctissian hordes into suburbs of our capital and with a little help of General Frost prevailed in epic battle.

Ctissians have lost hundreds of soldiers and host of mages and is about to face the vengeance of Jotunheim. Ctis is very vulnerable now and we welcome other nations to join our crusade against this filthy nation.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

The spiderking of Machaka would like to, just as a reminder, re-itreate that C'tis is part of the BMC defensive alliance. Jotunheim has already caused much grievance by destroyin Caelum, and as such their actions have in the past spoken of their intentions. Yet, the C'tis-Jotunheim fracass is a duel, and will be honoured as such; any third parts attacking C'tis would however face consequenses from the other BMC alliance members.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

The Bandar Log/Machaka/C'Tis defensive pact is more of an aggressive alliance designed to take out whoever they think looks like the juciest target. But go ahead and attack Bandar Log and machaka if you want. All their armies are currently tied up trying to cause me any real lasting damage.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Ha, someone with a giant empire is upset because because two minor powers decided to take him down a peg. :)

Just a reminder to all of the obvious, the Ermor empire is collapsing under the joint offensives of Bandar log and Machaka and maybe Ryleh (its hard to tell), come grab a piece of the fertile valleys and many castles that were once corrupted by legions of undead.

- ooo ooo OOO! (sic), god of Bandar Log

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Heh :) Look at who is crying :) Ermor, *the* giant amongst giants, is afraid of two small nations who stood up to actually give a token fight :) Yes, almost half of the Machakan troops are at the Ermorian front, that is true, but that hardly is *all* our armies, not even close :)

It may come as a shock, but the world does not rotate around Ermor. I also have another piece of news: Skellispam and a few netherbolts can take you just so far. Yes, it is alarming that Ermor finally began to research something, but Ermor is the giant on clay feet, and the clay can apparently not carry the weight of the giant; looks like Ermor is about to crumble before there is even any serious push! :eek: Then again, if Ermor gets its research going, none of its neighbours will be safe; not the small ones (no matter how united they would stand), not even the big ones.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I have not yet begun to skellispam!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

You know, that when you win a battle, but your losses are bigger than the losses of your enemy, then it is called a phyrric victory?

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

You are not quite correct. This term is about a person who became a winner but is unable to conduct war further. The real Phyrrus always did more harm to his enemies, by the way.

In our situation you've lost almost all your invasion force and I have strong and standing army.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

My understanding was he was a magnificent general whose dreams went unfulfilled.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

I'm Pan - my losses are always bigger than the enemy's!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

C'tis came just under attach by jotunheims vassal vanheim, and we think that this is a sign how desperate they are.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

So Jarkko and his spidery minions now make war upon the whole world?

I would have thought the realisation that he has been cruelly used by his so called allies as a cats paw for them to conquer while he gets nothing would have taught him some caution. But apparently not :)

We have no mutual border so his spidery forces are safe from me at the moment. But while his spell is up he can consider us at war our forces meet.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Really? No matter how hard I look at the map, it doesnt appear my dominion has spread outside my borders, so don't know how that is a declaration of war on everybody. Sure, if you send your troops into Machakan dominion you might suffer, other than that you are safe :)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Wrath of God strikes the whole world, though it falls more heavily in your dominion. I am losing troops, although I have a few spare to lose at this stage :p I suspect everyone - friend and foe alike will be suffering from your Global. You are now attacking every other nation on the map - a curious diplomatic move :) Especially as the spell is pretty rubbish :p

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Collateral damage happens, but when it is Ermor who suffers 99% of the damage, who cares? :)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

If 14 units is the majority of the damage, then it's not very effective.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

True. The effect wasn't very great this turn, and those 14 indeed are the majority of the losses caused.

Previous turn, when you had hundreds of troops and commanders in my dominion the losses were "slightly" different. And that is the only thing that matters, if Ermor deems it not worthwile to lose his nether spamming mages in droves by attacking Machaka, then the objective has been fulfilled :)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

There's no problem with Wrath of God over here in Monkey Country, even though we share a long border. Only a few units were hit at all, certainly nothing that could shake our alliance. Down with Ermor!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Well, I think Pangea will be eliminated very soon. It's been good fun, I'm pleased that I managed to take our Arco before getting eliminated (when I took over I assumed it was a lost cause), although clearly taking on Mictlan was a bridge too far!

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Good game Euarchus :) It is always tough taking over a position that has been staling a lot of turns.

Unfortunately for you my troops can be massed almost as quickly as your Maeneads and my cheap slingers are perfect against unarmoured opponents. And by this stage I could afford to send in a lot of mages as well. So I was surprised when you attacked me as Pan is almost my perfect opponent :)

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Ah crap, forgot to send my turn this morning before getting to work. Any chance to postpone the hosting for a couple hours, please? I have the turn done, just didn't post it, and my shift at work ends about half an hour after the hosting is due :(

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

postponed

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Thanks :) I left an hour early from work, but got stuck in the traffic. The turn is sent now, wouldnt have made it without the postponing.

Re: MA CBM Game Greenstone Running
 

Who is subbing Micltan?
