Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I'd like to register a complaint.... I had control of the majority of a province. The outside section of my capital.

Heh, I had been dead the whole time from my turn 1 guess being wrong. Had I randomly chosen south, White would have been dead by turn 4. Sadly I chose East, and green's setup was strong enough (and lucky enough) to avoid being killed by a stealth assassin dom10 pretender.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Hmm, to be honest...
That strategy looks like an huge risk, for little payoff. Shure the gems in the capital are nice.
But those nicer sites in non-capitol provinces...

BTW. please send your turn on last time to llamaserver, so the turn migth get processed faster.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I don't have much longer either and I am definitely NOT admining this game after I'm dead...

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

DK by awake pretender was my main worry the first turns. Troops and research-wise I was fine the whole time.

Now to regroup and grow, I've lost some indie provinces in the war.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

The 14 gems a turn from a capital is huge. Sure there are good sites elsewhere, but there are good sites everywhere.

Taking the capital early wasn't the goal though, the goal was to have a direction I could expand into quickly since it wasn't occupied.

As for the risk: the only cost of the tactic was the cost of the 10dom pretender. I actually had net +1 scales on top of him-- and with cataclysm mod that can be enough if you're willing to embrace the idea that when everyone has ludicrously high gem income scales arn't that important. So the main cost was in that I didn't take an SC that could expand or a rainbow that could use up gems quickly. (Or sage that could help the gem-use.... or a grand alchemist, but sadly that isn't an option)

There is also another hidden strength of Lord of the Night: the assassination ability. Early game this can snatch commander-prophets or non-SC pretenders if the opportunity comes up-- which it almost did. I did attempt an assassination in the capital of Green(On turn 3, I think), but the RNG just gave me a mage, not the pretender. (Note: I'm told immortality doesn't help in the assassination realm, as it takes place in a non-province with no dominion.) Late game, however, LotN can be equipped to be turned into a decent SC.... with assassination.

Oh, anyways, my final "turn" is in... and has been all day. Llama-server is borked though, and hasn't received anything that came in after 17:22 GMT on Thursday December 1st.

R.I.P. Pink.
Hey guys i have problem with sending my turn file now.
can we delay the next turn until llamaturns is fixed.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Scales sucks because Tons of heavy cav can't kill an SC. And you don't need gold for labs, temples, mages.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Hosting postponed

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I got the Admin. PW, so I can take over as Admin.
I did'nt get the Master-Password (Jiggymike did not specify one?), so lets hope nobody gets lost.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Well Brown, I warned you that this war was pointless. I have to say it feels pretty good to turn back your entire army and your pretender with nothing more than one-level mages and a handful of troops while also feebleminding one of your skratti from all the way across the map. I told you, I will not go down easy and I will make sure you suffer as a result of your attack.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

You have all reason, but only play a few games. And i try to made a rush.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

^Yeah, you'll learn. For example, if you'd used your dragon as a combatant instead of to cast spells, I'd probably have been dead 5 turns ago.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

:doh:

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

asking advice for another game
hey guys how should i counter Hel. attack with riders when im using Agar.
man i cant even kill 10 riders with my troops out number Hel.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Hel. = Helheim?
Agar. = Agartha?
Third sentence is a total mystery to me.

Sorry.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Agarthans are pretty weak combatants, can you cast Darkness at the start of the battle?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Use magic - what turn is it and what have you researched.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

its 30 turn.
i still not reach Darkness yet.
any quick methods to ease the situation?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Capital is gone, almost dead. Will be sending out gems to people this turn who agree to avenge me. Let me know what type you need, first come first serve.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I am Cyan.
Orange is the most powerful nation right now and i am started to attack her. Anyone want to join this Crusade are welcomed!

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

It is a time to force hosting.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Did I miss something? Nobody stalled this turn.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

OMG White helped orange to attack me.
I am losing and i hope you guys can win these 2 evil nation!

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Looks like Green and red are on holidays. Both stalled the last two turns.
I'm postphoning tommorow if they dont submit their turns...

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Apologies. I got rushed and forgot to post that I would have no internet over the holiday weekend. Resuming turns ASAP

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Red is still missing.
I'll going to extend until ~ 2nd January unless people want the game get hosted anyway.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Ach, Holidays and then got layed up with a cold. My apologies for stalling.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I didn't help noone. I just went and took it lol

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Also, someone else that can attack Cyan armies in the south (red? gray?) we'll finish him up quickly.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Just now found two turns from noobacalysm in my SPAM-Folder.
5 from 8 players (including me) stalled last turn.

Do you want an Rollback?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Rollback would break the game.

I'm out of town for 11-12-13, can I get an extension, please?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Bump. I won't be here 11-12-13 so I need an extension.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

game extended to 14th Jannuary

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Good thing too. My Email is pretending it doesn't exist right now so until I get that figured out I'm in trouble.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

E-Mail working again?
Need more time or want the turn delivered to another adress?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Email started working again, but it looks like my turn got in too late. Drat. Oh well, not Giving up now..

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Hi!

Same as last time, I won't be here until the 26th so if I could get an extension...

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Done

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Very classy, attacking me on a stale turn when I was traveling. Going AI.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

I thought you got an extension. Sorry, next game will send a declaration of war a week before.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Not only you're rude but bad mannered too. Don't worry, I'll take care not to be in any more games with you.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Sorry for insulting you. But I really hate when losing side start saying that I was doing something unfair. The turn of this attack was planned 13 turns ago (when I summoned Wendigos).

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Sorry White, I extended the turn as you wished. If you needed more time you should have said so.

Another thing i just now noticed looking at the staling data
http://www.llamaserver.net/doAdminAc...ion=showstales
wtf happened with green?

Do we have an Sub at hand?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

hawk120 will be taking over Green.
As soon as I get his eMail, I'll make the changes.
I'll extend the turn, so he gets some time to get familiar with his situation.

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

can any ally/ at war with green please let me know?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Anyone knows whats up with Red?
Is he still playing? Anyone in contact with him?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Setting Red to AI if he stalls again. Objections anyone?

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

2 stalls last turn... :(
Black who gets slowly beaten by me...
Green who gets steamrolled by Orange...

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

Wow, need to take notes from Orange.
Brown you are in an War with Orange too? If not, now is your chance. Otherwise the game is over and Orange has won.
(Might be even over, even if you partake in the final war...)

Re: Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!
 

We have nap3 with brown:) It is just enough time to finish you and prepare to new war.

Brown, if you are interested ignore this nap. Let's see if I can win 1v2

Notes for future cataclysm games:
1)Rushing research boosters is very powerful - you could have lots of them with this crazy gem income
2)Castles suck - labs are much cheaper way to recruit magi.
3)Scales are much better strategy than it seems - heavy cav in early game is good enough to expand and defend from rushes and in mid game gold income transform in lots of magi.
If you are paranoid about early game use awake bull + scales build (bull is the cheapest SC, wyrm works too) just don't loose him on the turn 3 like I did.
4) recruit magician each turn:)
