They do not respawn. So if you have some mercs that are too valuable to let others have... well, they knew the risks they were taking when they chose that career path.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Also, if you haven't turned on private messages in the forum settings, please do so, it makes it easier to conduct diplomacy.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Looks like Thanatus del Dragos is stalling...
I hope he`ll come back, but if he wont, i`ll set him on AI while we`ll search for a sub.

Anyone has met him in game by scouts or anything?

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Question. When should we update our personal Dominions to the new version? As soon as llamaserver comes back up?

Also, for Admin, I will be without internet/email from about 1400 GMT on 1 July until 2300 GMT on 2 July visiting relatives. So, if we could have a delay on running whatever turn is due in that timeframe back to 2359 GMT, 2 July, it would be much appreciated. :)

I will post a reminder again just before I leave the house that day.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

What you should do is make a copy of your dominions folder and update. This way you have both version in working order. Llammaserver should tell you if you send the right version by mail.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

ok! =) ill postpone hosting when you need. If you can, tell me exact number of hours you need to postpone - that`ll be the best!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Again, we`re waiting for Thanatus del Dragos.

EDIT : Deleted message about Agartha staling.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED! - NEED A SUB FOR AGARTHA
 

Errrr...

We don't. He did not stale even once.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED! - NEED A SUB FOR AGARTHA
 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

well.... im surprised...

He made his turns in the last 5 minutes before turn hosting....

anyway...

ok, my bad, im jumping to conclusions too fast! =(

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED! - NEED A SUB FOR AGARTHA
 

No, it isn't your bad. Even if he didn't stale, he has still been the last to do his turn the last three turns. Which means he isn't doing his next turn right after he turns in as the last person. Add to that, that he has reminded people of the same thing in other games (I went through his posts), and he needs to be smacked with a wet noodle.

To make matters worse, I am in only two MP games and he is in both. And he waits to the last minute in both. It is a tad frustrating.

Thanatus, wake up man! If you are having an issue, let us (or at least the admin) know!

Thanks.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

As soon as I know how many hours, I will let you know. :)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Thanatus is with us again! =)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

And the last to do his turn again. We still have 16 hours on the clock.... Had he done this turn right away after being the last one to turn in last turn, we would be doing the next turn now.

I know, broken record. I will shut up now about it. He obviously isn't communicating a problem or changing the behavior, so :sick:

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

This guy is slowing down the whole game :down:

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Yeah, he is in both of my MP games and is the last one on both. With 13 hours left on the clock in both....

Oh yeah, I was going to shutup about it. It is just a little frustrating.... :(

I guess I might feel a little better if I knew there was some good reason.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Some good and hopefully transitory reason... ;)

BTW, it looks like we all should update the 1.84 mod:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...560#post779560

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Yep, we NEED to. Last turn, without updated mod i`ve watched quite interesting battle against heavy cavalery with 2 lances, 2 broad swords, 2 hoofs and 2 warhorse hoof attacks.

i knew its a bug, but still imagine picture of steel-clad mounted warrior impaling 2 enemies with his 2 lances at the same time. And after that fearsome attack, throwing lances away and pulling out 2 broad swords(grinding his kite shield in the teeth, i presume) and jumping in a middle of a battle berserker-style(still mounted)! And all that time his faithful horse was striking enemies with all 4 of its hoofs(2 of them is just so-so hoofs, and 2 of them is real warhorse hoofs) at the same time. Armored warhorse(with armored rider+2 swords+kite shield in teeth) jumping and landind a quadrupled kick(Bruce Lee style!!) on some poor trooper - that picture made my day!!! =)

SC by themselves, second to none...

i`ll update my cbm before next turn =)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Also, I will not be there this week end (going to a family reunion with no internet), from friday evening to monday morning.

Could you please change the timer so I won't stale ?

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

sure! ill postprone turn rotation on friday evening so that it`ll go up to monday morning.

if you sinchronize with The Kurgan and tell me exact time, that`ll be the best =)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Friday 10 PM to Monday 10 AM (French time, should be something like UTC+1 at the moment).

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

kasnavada - needs turn prolongation from 21:00 GMT 01 July until 09:00 GMT 04 July


The Kurgan - needs turn prolongation from 14:00 GMT on 1 July until 23:59 GMT on 2 July


so that ill make sure turns wont be hosted in interval of 14:00 GMT on 1 July up to 09:00 GMT 04 July and you wont stale.

check plz!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

!WARNING!

First stale datected!
http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ion=showstales

Thanatus has staled this turn!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

To prevent kasnavada and The Kurgan staling, im prolongating the turn up to 09:00 GMT 04 July + some additional time.

just send in your turn and when kasnavada and The Kurgan will go back, turn will be hosted.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

I don't leave for another 4 hours or so, so I will do this turn in a few. I may need that extra time for the next turn. :)

Thanks!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

ok, ill prolong NEXT turn! =)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Hey, is something up with the server? I sent in my turn (twice) but it hasn't updated yet.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Probably. If my forum reading skills are accurate llamabeast's ISP is not reliable. However, llamaserver is, so your turn will be taken anyway when llamabeast's got time to fix whatever is wrong / the ISP works again (depending of what happens).

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

" And thus started the war between the winged people and the unholy barbarians of Ulm. Scout reports had reported much, too much from there.

Their revenues were also far greater than those of the great nation of Caelum, or any other for that matter. They had a great army, the barracks to make it even greater, the money to field it, and a very secure homeland. That fight would be hard to win without allies.

However, Kantai, pretender to the throne of Pantokrator, lead by example and not by begging help. His voiced thundered as the orders were given, and soon, the very battlefields would shake under the forces that he controlled. "

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

I guess freezing winds of mountanis is blowing too strong, my winged adversary. We, Ulm is barbarian nation no more, as we didnt attacked you nation and we didnt shown any agression.

You, who atacked me without even a single word, dare to call us a barbarians? And now, after you realize, that lands you got by sacrificing the very lives of proud winged warriors is barred and useless, and retaliation is inevitable what are you doing? Call for help?

Abysia, if you have a NAP with Caelum, beware - their word are just like wind in their wings and they will turn against any ally as THIS is what i have for proposing NAP to Caelum!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

(It's not that important but... RP wise I did not send that message to you, and you don't know my people called you barbarians, unless somehow you read minds :rolleyes:)

(The only thing you have is some declaration of war sent by a messenger).

Then again I like to do RP "in-character" and not as a player. Meaning my characters have the informations they have and that I'm not "Rp-ing" as myself playing Caelum (for example, in your text, you are somehow some semi-omniscient player able to read mind, and speaking to me and the player playing Abyssia simultaneously). Now, that kind of interaction is fine too, what troubles me is the mix between both.

That's the moment where I sit back and think I'm not really making myself well understood. For example, my "characters" think
you are barbarians, however, me, as a player, doesn't. :doh:


(that said, I need to answer).
As a player, the only think I got to answer is... come on, do you really believe that having more then twice the number of province and income than your neighbouring opponents was going to get unpunished ? It's a "anything goes" diplo game ! I fully expect to be backstabbed if somehow I get to the same position. If you want to know, Abyssia does keep a threateningly high troops near me just for that or whatever plans he's fomenting, so do I, and that's just part of the fun. If he wanted, he could backstab me, and that would just be my fault for not being prepared.

That said, why is LA Ulm PD so damn stupidly strong ? I'm wasting entire armies just mowing through it.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

I don't understand. The time limit was exceeded today, but the server didn't send the files. Am I missing anything? :confused:

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Probably because the server was down when the time came. The admin of the game will have to force the turn to run I suppose. And Agartha will stale...again.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

... as usual the server seems to be on the blink. Can't they fix it for good? :down:

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Do we need to turn on some option to make the turns host before the deadline?

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

It's already on :

If you click admin, you will have most of the info you need. It's Llamaserver weirdness again. He provides us the server, and obviously, I think his server having this kind of behaviour is not what he wants.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

The turn seems done, but I did not get the mail. I took the liberty of asking for a "turn resend" for everyone, just in case.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Thank you! =) just got my turn and turn resend!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Getting the feeling these turns need to start getting run every 48 hours.... Anyone else?

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Same here.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Yes please. 36 hours at least.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Why is the turn interval still sitting at 24 hours? Three players have requested it be increased and we are past the turn it was supposed to be increased via the original post anyway.

Please increase the turn interval.

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

The hosting interval is still sitting at 24 hours, so why was the turn limit shifted to Monday?? :confused:

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

I shall be away and without access to internet between July 29-31(inclusive) and on August 2. Any chance to change the timer to prevent me from staling? :)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Hey Ulm, I just made Soshyos a prophet ! Why kill the poor guy ! Now I have to wait 6 months to make another one !

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

ok, ill prolong hosting! from July 28 23:59 up to August 2 00:00

is it cool with you?

Caelum - Soshyos owed me money, so you beat them out of him! Yarrr!

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Oh noes !! My troop go gamble with yours ? And my prophet too ? And I wondered why my treasury was always empty...

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Muahahahaha!!! thats my secret weapon, that will beat your winged armies!!!


I`ve changed hosting interval to 48 hours! Rejoice!! =)

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

I'm kind of getting worried of super weapons now.

"The fortification in XXXXX is unharmed, we need more men to breach it".

Come on, I got 200 people hitting the door and it's unharmed... Get out ! I'm waiting for you !

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

It was you?? What a relief! I thought it was a tax collector....

Re: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!
 

Well... I did collect the tax of your people while waiting for you to get out.
