Ok, no more cheating message, sorry about the delay and good luck everybody.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Great. Everything appears to be working. Good luck everyone.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

thank you for organizing and trouble-shooting.

and yes, good luck to all.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

anyone know where arco is?

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

hey, my computer died. I'll need a day or so to try and extract Dom 3 from the hard drive, if it's even possibe.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Hm... If Torgon doesn`t appear RIGHT NOW - we`ll have our first stale. :(

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Yeah, perhaps I wasn't entirely clear, but I'll need to either have the game paused or find a sub while I sort out some computer issues.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Apppologize for missing this exchange.

For future reference, if you need an extension PM me so I get an email notification. I don't always check the forum, but I'm constantly checking my email. I'll pause the game for now. Let me know when you find a sub.

Although it looks like argatha has submitted already, do you still need an extension?

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Dojango is Formoria

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Ok. I postponed hosting for 48 hours. Let me know if you need more time.

Sorry about missing this guys and allowing the stale. I've had a bit of an emergency at work this week and haven't been checking the thread that often.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

No Worries. I'm helping LL with BSOD. I tend to be on the board quite a bit. If you'd like a 2nd pair of eyes watching I'd be happy to help...or if nothing else if I see something in future I"ll send you PM.
Cheers.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

So i extended it another 24 hours. Hopefully we'll have a sub in shortly. Thanks for the patience.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

OK, back in business

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Dojango. I sent you a PM awhile ago, but I know you've been busy with computer issues. I'll revise and resend. Cheers!

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Awesome.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

i need a 24h extension

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Done. Extended 24 hours. Also if you need an extension drop me a PM so I can get an email alert.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Anybody want to trade me (Pangaea) an antimagic ammy?

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I'm travelling and I should have internet access. If I don't submit my next turn in time something went wrong, but I'll be back soon. So please extend time if I haven't submitted.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Glorious nation of Tir na n'Og wants to buy fire gems.
Also, if someone`s interested, we`ve got a war trophy - Endless cauldron of broth. As we don`t really need it, we`re ready to sell it for low price.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

PM sent Sharp.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I am impressed with Maverni. In the right hands they are an excellent nation. Good job Torgon.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Ulius is the last to turn in his turn this turn, so I am suspecting he may have overestimated the internet connectivity in the boondocks from whence he departed to.

6 hours left until he stales..

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Yep. I noticed. I extended by another 6 hours. Hopefully he shows up soon. I know he's in a war with tien and missing a turn could be problematic.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

They're definitely underestimated. But CBM also really buffed them by making boar warriors recruit anywhere. But even without that they're pretty strong.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I think, +4 str battlefield-wide national spell was even a bigger buff.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Ehh... You have earth mages coming out of your ears so its not like you couldn't throw down a few strength of giants pretty easily, and its not like its that far away at ench 3. Strength of boars just gets you there faster and with less micro management on the battlefield.

Basically just makes them less of rush target, since they can punch through armor fairly easily.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

internet broke down yesterday night so I couldn't submit. Have time to submit later, hope it doesn't break down again.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

We could turn off autohost for you perhaps until you're steady? Tor?
ssj

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

The problem wasn't the autohost it was the 6 hour delay Torgon gave him for traveling wasn't long enough for him to deal with his internet problems.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Yeah. I'm just saying if he is still having internet issues we could turn off autohost instead of setting a fixed time/delay.
-ssj

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

And I'm saying if he is the last to turn his turn in and is having periods of not being able to access the internet, it is actually better for autohost to run so he can do his 2 turns back to back when he does get internet access.

If he turns his turn in at hour 15 and then has to wait until the host runs he may lose internet access again within that time.

Keeping autohost on and extending the turn 12 hours at a time until he gets internet access is a better solution.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I'm going to extend the hosting another 24 hours, Ulius, get your turn in as soon as you can. PM me if we need to work something else out.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Does nief need a sub?
ssj

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I think he might. It looks like he's going to stall on this turn as well. Only might be problematic getting a sub for him, since he's not exactly in a great position with Tien taking him for quite the ride.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

There is no honor in fighting sleeping giants....
TC

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

I'm going to send him one more PM, if no response I'm going to start looking for someone to sub in for him.

Would you mind calling off your war at least for a few turns for whomever comes in?

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Just an FYI Torgon. He is in another game and we are looking to call in a sub there also.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Full, Submitting Pretenders)
 

Roger that. I've been submitting turns assuming nief would be would be (fighting) back. I will stop further expansion into nief provs but do plan on continuing a siege initiated a couple turns back when they were active. Sound fair? I can resubmit tonight.
ssj

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

I would recommend just leaving a scout seiging so they at least have some options when they sub in.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Looks like we have a sub for Nief. Everyone welcome Nimiria to the game.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Hello all :)

I am taking over as a sub for Niefelheim.

I hope you will give me a bit time to see what I have and what is up. As I see now I am besieged already, would be nice if this can be stopped somehow :)

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Welcome Nimiria.

HHMMM name sounds familiar.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Welcome,
TC will send a messenger shortly to discuss terms.
ssj

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

It looks like Yomi's gone AI. Don't really blame him as we was going down pretty fast and was about to loose his capital.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

yeah- my best defenses didn't hold and it was about to go from 2vs1 to 3vs1.

I really didn't have any answer to your army set-up Torgan. i think that maverni, especially the way you played them, are very good at taking out yomi.

So yeah, i went AI- figured it wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Yep. I'm actually not really sure how I'd counter what I was doing as yomi. A pack of level 3 priests plus 4 or 5 level 5 priests is going to absolutely ruin your best forces. And the other option of switching away from demons and to conventional forces isn't a great one either as marv's troops win without much of a contest against bakemono and bandits.

Only thing I might have done differently is research targets. You had construction 4, but that alone really isn't enough to make Dai Oni scary. They just die with a bunch of gear on.

I might have gone for some evoc w/ a little conj first. A bunch of Hannya's and Dia Oni's hurling fireballs and flares with phoenix power would have put a pretty big dent in my army. Alternatively you could have raced up Enchantment for skeli spam and flaming arrows. Skelli spam probably wouldn't have overwhelmed my troops, but it would have distracted mages from your expensive demons. And flaming arrows w/ bakemono archers is pretty devastating.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

agreed - though in my defense i did have a plan - it just required a tiny bit more time to come to fruition.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I (Arco) will go AI this turn. Abysia and Pangaea destroyed me and there really isn't anything I can do.

Re: March Madness Newb/Intermediate Game (EA, CBM 1.92) (Running)
 

Yea. Just saw the big drop in gem income this turn. I'm guessing they just took your capital?

Which one (aby or pan) ended up taking it?
