Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I do not think everyone is equally affected. And I do not think it is playable. When you summon troops, they are supposed to appear.

Some races rely on summoned troops more than others. And races that have been at war need to summon troops to compete with races that have had long periods of peace and already have many tough troops.

I think hacking the chaff out of the game before the next turn is a more realistic solution then trying to kill off all of the free spawn-much of it underwater.

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I'll need everyone to chime in here.

I'm fine with calling it now, but will soldier on to the end if the majority wants to continue.

That's partially fatigue talking (for me) of course, but I can see how non-free spawning nations might feel hurt by this.

Frankly I'm really surprised it took us this long to hit the limit...

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

it's a good reason to ban LA ermor, and maybe a couple other nations like MA pan, from games such as these. Or, if you don't, at least try to take them down before it comes to this http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

Same here, I can go both ways.

It has been a great game, and I'd hate not to do it justice by just letting everything slip while the game hosts on 3-days intervals. But, dunno how much of that feeling is due the fatigue.

I don't think it's the freespawn nations that are the problem, but getting a realistic winning goal. I mean, current 650+ provinces is _huge_, no-one's even near it. I've got a fourth of that amount. %/ Can't say what would be a better goal, though.

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I had also a strange thing this turn : An event that have to lead to an attack of my province by neutral, do not create this attack.

But of course it is not as important as yours.

My people are great and proud but they are not anymore in the course for victory, and i hope that a mighty god will give me a small place in heaven at its side. Perhaps i can play music, or sing, or serve ambroisia and nectar.. Things like that.

If you want to stop the game, no problem for me. But i'am not a major player. If game go on i will go on.

STelteck.

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I don't think there's anything I can do to fix it from a modding standpoint - I could make a mod that killed all of LA R'lyeh and LA Ermor's units entirely (by making them amphibious or air-breathing, respectively), but I can't actually change the way freespawning works.

Obviously as a sub I'm not going to wish for Armageddon; but if anyone else wants to keep the game going, that would do it.

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I didn't get hit as bad by this as others it appears, only 2 of the 3 abominations I called didn't appear.

If people want to call it, it's all good. My last few turns have not been any great shakes as it was thanks to my grandpa's illness and funeral, and now with the holidays here, I have a lot less time to focus.

I've had a great time, and was quite pleased that I was able to survive and, while not being in the upper echelon of nations left, I can't complain about my fortunes either. I do have 1 artifact (the ankh), when I saw it was available in my construct list. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

Someone decided to lower the world population last turn by summoning my Djinn away from me! I wonder who that may have been? /winks lolomo.

Re: LA R\'lyeh
 

I also had a notice of an Indy attack that never materialized, as well as losing out on quite a few summons that did not materialize.

Since all players seem to be affected, perhaps a turn or two more are needed to really determine if this limit has made the game unplayable, but if the majority want to call it a game now, it's okay with me.

When is EH coming back?
