Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Should have set the game to autostart WL, won't have time to play the turn until tomorrow evening the earliest now. ;)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Game is on. GL all and have fun :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I stopped doing auto starts due to past issues w/ outside players sending pretenders. I prefer more control and less hassle.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I really like the north/south divide on this map. The only problem is that from the south, there's only one land passage to the north. That spot is going to be a killer choke if someone can hold it.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

some of the landmarks have teleporting sites; look at the province connections.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Provinces 26 and 27 in the south have connections to the central island and the three northern teleporters. Province 26 is underwater. 121, 88, and 97 have teleporters in the north. So, unless we have the ability to send water-breathing armies, getting to and from the south can only be done through province 26. Seems a bit unbalanced. Should be an interesting problem.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Let us see how the game develops and whether it would turn out to be problematic or not.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I really hope C'Tis is on the other side of the divide.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

C'tis nation is interested in peace with it's neighbors. War is against the principles of the desert religion who sacrileges life in all it's forms.

Life in C'tis are so good that the surrounding desert tribes sing its praise as follows:
"
If you're looking for bliss
Then head straight for C'tis
Where you'll find wonderful things
That you just can't miss
"
No wonder the tribe leaders willingly join C'tis :up::up::up:

More cause for alarm is the "one minute you have a kingdom the next poof and it's gone" doom days weapon - yes dom kill I'm looking at you :eek:

But all this talk is premature. The world is young and magic is strong. Peace prevails and hopefully will for generations to come.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Ulm also wishes peace with its neighbors, and we will happily send our legions of diplomats to meet with you. Don't be offended if they happen to wave their swords and axes about menacingly, it is the way we greet strangers in our culture.

Conan the Diplomat rides up, dismounts, and delivers this message:

"What is best in life? To 'love' enemies, see them 'grow and prosper' before you, and to hear the 'friendly banter' of their women. Yes, indeed. :D

Wait, you don't seem convinced. Ehh.. enough talk!!"

*draws weapons*

I guess my barbarians aren't very good at diplomacy, sigh. :doh:

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

We just have trouble not squishing the littles when they come strutting around in our neck of the woods. And then there's the balmy weather around here. We have no idea why anyone would want to be melting all the time.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Abysian bastards!

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I thought it'd be Abysia getting all fired up, not the tree lovers. Did he burn your forests down?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Fight like a man, don`t steal my mercs!

BTW, this map has some issues.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Merc stealing. A time honored tradition usually saved for actual war time. I've never considered stealing another's mercs during expansion. That's actually not a bad idea...

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I think you should examine the fine print of the contract that you signed with the mercenaries. "theft" is such a specific term.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Heads up to Ulm and Lanka, you do not want to clash with Yomi expansion party...

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

:eek:

Let me be the first to welcome our new Oni overlords to the neighborhood...

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Looking at the score table, the Oni have 666 income this turn...probably just a coincidence.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Just a head up. Turn 13 is available, if you didn't get it (like me) then go the game page and ask for a resend.

Niefelheim, Why did you stale?- Did you require an extension?-Next time plz give me a heads up (as in ask for an extension) so you would avoid staling.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Considering I was home writing and watching tv last night... Wow. I had no idea a turn was due. I received no warning email and I didn't check on my games before heading to bed. Thanks for the heads up on turn 13. I haven't received that either.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Yeah, me neither. Also, missed warning email in some other games.
WL, you might want to use the admin option to email all players. Some people don`t tend to check the thread regularly, and it seems no one got the current turn.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Errrr, I have a fort which refuses to be built for some reason. It`s been 3 turns of construction and it should have been done this turn but it says two more turns. Any ideas as to what the heck this is would be nice.:confused:

As a side note, with luck 3, turmoil 3 I`ve been having 2-3 bad events a turn for the last couple of turns...:rolleyes:

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

If I spot such a glitch again I shall email all. Thanks!

Edit: "As a side note, with luck 3, turmoil 3 I`ve been having 2-3 bad events a turn for the last couple of turns"

I hate L3T3. It's supposed to work like a charm and every turn you expect that 1.5K gold event or some other fabulous stuff but most what you get sucks.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I have fallen out of love with L3T3. There's a ton of gem events, but also the chance for barbarian attacks, hurricanes, cursed troops. Every bad event makes you feel cheated. And don't get me started on the upkeep causing militia events.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Quiet thread... how about some Abyssian jokes?

Q: Why did the frost giant cross the road?

A: Because he was afraid of the chicken on the other side!


Q: What do you call a frost giant who pushes you in the water and laughs as you struggle?'

A: A loyal ally!


So, a frost giant and a jaguar warrior are walking along and they see a gold coin on the ground. The frost giant picks it up, throws an arm around the jaguar warrior, and says, "Come! Let us share this bounty like brothers!"

But the jaguar warrior says, "Nah, how about we just split it in half."


An Abyssian, a Mictlanese, and a frost giant are walking along. They come to a river that is too deep and wide to cross. The Mictlanese says, "I shall pray to my god for the power to cross this river."

The Abyssian says, "I will study great and powerful magic to cross this river."

The frost giant suddenly picks up the Mictlanese guy and throws him into the river, where he drowns. "What did you do that for?" asks the Abyssian.

The frost giant replies, "You can solve any problem by throwing more mictlanese at it."

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but I like the way you're saying it!

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I think He's saying I should build more Mictlanese, which I will try to do. Thanks for the tip.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

If my prophet didn't have 132 HP to start with...YEESH.

Abysia cast Rage on my prophet on turn one, before he could cast Divine blessing...insane. I can't believe we won anyway.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Probably shouldn't have told all though nasty jokes about frost giant'ts momma's. Wanted them riled up enough to attack but not so much they'd win.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Well I'm being attack 3 on one as usual.

I guess I need to work more on diplomacy

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

You did bust out the early game thug/SC chassis.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Also your research graph doesn't really inspire fear, to be honest... :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

dojango, are you receiving my PMs?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I had thought my post on the forums had made it clear, but I'm not interested in your proposal. I won't let you cut and run and abandon Mictlan to his fate... you will share it.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I knew you wouldn't take the deal, but thought you might come up with a counter offer.

We'll just continue to grind you under our heels. That's a mighty fine fortress you have...

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

It will look even better once we put a few frost giant heads to counter-balance all those jaguar warrior heads (I do like how they shapeshift when you poke them eith a stick).

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Sorry to disappoint.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Fritigern, what is best in life?

To crush Dai Onis, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the Bakemono.

Yes, this is good.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

The memories of Ice

My memories are being ganked 3 on 1 and being done on turn 22

Such fond fond memories


P.S. those books suck

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

I'm going to be out of town and most likely in an area with no wifi or cell service for about a week. Would it be possible to put the game on a long timer?

I'll try to get turns in when I can, but service will be intermittent at best.

Badlands!

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

That's a nice army down there it is, Wl! I'm waiting to see what Amhazir tries to smash it with!

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Thank you Executor. I had my soldiers bath in the swamps for three days straight and then clean their scales claws and fangs before marching.
Good to know that the great eye of Sauronutor is always watching ;)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Yes, that. Not too shabby an army that is. I'm getting on it though. It's good you mention that army so everyone knows I'm serious. My current plan is: "Dump my complete gem stockpiles as fast as possible for anything even remotely useful and hope it's enough." Unfortunately, the only gem-type that's really going to make a difference (Due to research-and-especially-casting-time-constraints is Nature. So, I hereby declare a crash fire-sale of everything else.

Who has a use for FIRE gems? (Up to 66)
Who craves some WATER gems? (Up to 60)
Who'd love some AIR gems? (Up to 19)
Who admires the purity of ASTRAL pearls? (Up to 29)
Who's addicted to those excellent DEATH gems? (Up to 18. And yes Wraithlord, I might even be temped to trade with you, allthough I will think twice about any offer.)
(Unfortunately I don't have a single EARTH gem to offer.)

EVERYTHING MUST GO! GET THEM WHILE THEY'RE FRESH. Etcetera, etcetera.

We accept NATURE gems, and can allways be tempted by fresh virgins. Trades probably need to be concluded this very turn, so come on in and sample the products, but don't dally over your choises, for tomorrow it might be too late for you. (And especially for me.)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Also, Wraithlord, could you keep an eye on the turn timer for me? I went home to my parents straight from work today since my sister (who lives near them) had to go to hospital, (she'll be fine) and since tomorrow it's my day off work I thought I'd visit. So I do have internet access, but no dominions.

I'll probably be home before hosting time, but if I'm not could you add a couple of hours?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 12 hours. The game will now host at 05:16 GMT on Friday June 29th.
Just to be on the safe side.

RE. said army I've no doubt it will be smashed, I just hope that fateful battle would be glorious :)

OMG Amhazair, how much gem stockpiles do you have? :shock:
What the hell are you gonna summon from nature's offerings?-Now you got me real scared (I'm not cynical - just really scared).
Thank the gods it will at least take you some time to summon all those monsters.
I'd have traded w/ you but I need my N gems too. Hey, maybe I'll watch what you summon and summon the same?- Yeah a twisted eye for an eye will serve me well :p

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

What the heck's a Sauronutor? Sounds like a carnivorous dinosaurus.

Amhazir, I might be persuaded to trade nature gems if the price is right.
Purely to balance out the war of course, not out of personal interest. ;)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Huh, transformed Pans don't summon Maenads...

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

Don't you have enough of those by now?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - closed finalize settings
 

What? Never.
I like frenzied, drunken, intoxicated, man, children and animal devouring dancing women with uncontrolled sexual behavior.
