Hi everyone, I hope I could join as LA TienChi, since the underwater nations seem to be quite tricky for me.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Hi Gargouille,

You need to PM (private message) Tarrax, who is the admin of this game.

Tell him what nation you are playing (Jomon?), and what your new email address is.

Tarrax will then need to change the email address used for Jomon on the llamaserver, in the admin section.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Jimbo

Thank, lot of french people have the same problem with hotmail

For me, hotmail is finish.
I can not read my message, and i can not play this new turn.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

You have messaged Tarrax with your new email address?

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Yes, but "no answer yet".
I find temporary solution.
I must boot my PC with windows XP and use explorer for read my "hotmail message".
If i boot with linux and use firefox, i can not read "hotmail message", it's new.
Microsoft permanently lost a customer, microsoft are "censored"

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Hey guys. Just saw this. I'll be glad to change the e-mail address but unfortunately I misplaced the admin password. :o

I sent a private message to llamabeast so we'll see if I can recover it. I'll let you know.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Argh... thank.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Just a question to those of you who remain and maybe with more experience than me.

Given that this is a no diplomacy game, and if I should in the not too distant future cast Utterdark....will it basically end the game?

It appears to me that this is a fairly nasty (almost game winning) spell and given enough boost, too strong to be dispelled by a single player.

Given that pooling gems for a dispel is out of the question by the nature of the diplomacy in this game, is it fair that I should be able to cast it?

My thoughts are...no its not.

There seem to be some great struggles going on and if the consensus is that it should not be cast that's fine with me, as there are other useful global I can use.

I am more interested in seeing this game continue on rather than winning it by what appears to be a "loophole" in our game setup for my nation.

Maybe I am over rating this spell.....Your thoughts?

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

While I may not be more experienced than you, here's my thoughts:

Ermor was allowed in the roster despite the suggestion that it's too powerful in a non-diplo game.

It's easier to dispel spells than cast them. (You can turn gems to astral pearls much easier than to other gems[except if the enemy is cunning and casts it weak at first so someone will use all their gems for a dispel, then cast it strong afterwards, but with a high base cost, not necessarily viable])

Based on these two things, I'd say there's nothing wrong with casting Utterdark. Then again, I'm not totally sure what it does as I've never been in a game where it has been cast. Some weak shades attack everywhere, income plummets, darkness in every combat? Sure, it's annoying, but it's a level 9 spell that requires plenty of death magic and gems. If you've been hoarding gems for the entire game waiting to cast it, then you've crippled your game up until now. If you haven't, do you really have enough death gems so that it won't be dispelled? I suppose you have had Well of Misery going on for dozens of turns.

Anyway, that's just my thoughts, I'm sure others will have their owns to add.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Hi Tiv,

It does more that that. here is the description.

Description:
The world is covered by a blanket of utter darkness. All living beings must use torches to see even a few feet in front of themselves. Undead and blind beings are unaffected by the darkness. All provinces have their income and resources reduced by 90 percent. During the perpetual night, forces of darkness and roaming shades will attack enemy provinces. The spell lasts until someone dispels it or the caster dies.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Sorry, I just saw this. Personally, I think anything is fair game. If a spell is in the game, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to cast it. Even though there is no diplomacy, the fact that you'll cast a spell that will seriously affect all the world negatively will probably mean that all the players will gang up on you.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

If you cast this spell, you hit hard all prentender, for you it's a good idea (and this is the game, you are right). I'm not old player, and me never play with dead ou blood magic, it's the first time i see this "big" spell. I think, i cant win this game, but i'm happy, i stay with the last players. I believe Marignon or Ermor is the best, Ctis and me less strength. I seek how make with 10% of my income, i count my free fighters (upkeep=0), how cast "solar brillance" in all fight, ....

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

What's the policy for blocking armies with diseased commanders with 2 hp left?

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Well, as far as I know constantly blocking big armies with a single scout etc. is frowned upon in the community. So I'd say don't do it unless that single unit is a SC/thug.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Just checking, as my esteemed opponent just did that to prevent my army from reaching his castle. So if you're reading, bad you, don't do it in the future. :)

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

If Ermor and Ctis leave Marignon in peace, Marignon win the game. I can hurt him, i can resist a bit against his angels, but if Ctis and Ermor leave Marignon break my kingdom in peace, after he will be the master of this world.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Hi Garg,

Just FYI, this is a no diplomacy game, thus your comments above are against the rules/spirit of the game.....I know you are fairly new to dominions though.

As for me fighting Marigon, I don't share a border with him......one of the problems of using a non wrap map.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Argh, me stupid. I make my turn too late. Two hour for this turn was too short. I could not win, but i hoped make more hurt and less error. Tiavals/Marignon play better me, he win, this is right. Now the last survivors of Jomon stay underwater ( I lose this game, but i stay for play them last warriors and learn better underwater game).

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Jomon lost from long time,
I have less time,
so I leave the rest of my kingdom with AI.
Good end game at all.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Ok, thanks for playing.

What about the rest of you? It seems two nations have had stale turns for a looong time. Only C'tis and Ermor left beside me.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Yes, only you (Marignon the winer, i think), Ermor and C'Tis play yet. Rest of Jomon= the 3 water queens, one grendelkin, few kaijins, ryujins, a little onmyo-ji, master shugenja and others "small"...

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Thanks for playing Gargouille. I (C'tis) have been playing but it is true that only 3 of us are left.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Its a win to Tiv (Marigon). I am totally beat with no chance of a come back or offering any serious resistance.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Me too...
I send this last turn (97) for Jomon=>IA.
(sorry, i no play turn 96 and 95)

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Well I (C'tis) can put up a few fights against Marignon but it's probably futile. He has too many provinces, armies, gems, everything... And my armies being undead based and pretender being fire-based doesn't help. So since Ermor also agrees, I think I'll just call this game as a win for Marignon.

Congratulations Tiavals! Thanks everyone for playing.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Yay.

It was a nice game. I'm surprised HoleyDooley didn't pursue a more aggressive strategy with Ermor(no diplomacy would have meant people couldn't gang up on you too well), especially after casting Utterdark. I have noticed that armies disperse pretty slowly even if you don't have money for their upkeep, so if you were intending to wait for the armies to just vanish, I'm not sure it would have even ever happened completely?

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

I was also surprised by the same thing Tiavals. I had put Purgatory up so I can understand not attacking me much but I thought Ermor could try to expand into TC or Bogarus maybe.

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

I'm still getting turns for the game. It'd be great if you could end it in llamaserver. :)

Re: Tarrax3 - Newbie/Intermediate LA 12 Players (running)
 

Yes Tiavals I am aware. Unfortunately I misplaced / forgot the admin password so I can't declare it finished. I apologize. I sent a PM to llamabeast on two forums (this and Sombre's forum) but unfortunately I didn't get an answer. Does anyone know how to contact llamabeast?
