A fair point Hoplo, but Ermor is not exactly a kitten either nor the player behind it.

I'd have you take just this one thing into account,
I have been in constant wars since turn 8 onwards, spending gems, gold, wasting troops etc, while your good ally is still untouched by war, which means he has an even bigger gem stockpile. His forts, army, doesn't it frighten you?

Think about who the real big bad wolf is, and if Pyth and I get defeated which seems like a very likely option after all, who will be left standing to take on your ally...

We look forward to meeting you in battle. Cheers.

WL, I might have been mistaken. I remember that *that* could have been an enslaved Agarthain Oracle. I owe you an apology if so.

NP Executor, gouging things from scout reports may be misleading. As is the case here.

Your point is somewhat valid though (MA Ermor has far less tools in it's shed them Jotun) but hopefully if you fall the nation that takes your lands would be very strong and I certainly plan to let Mictlan have it all.

Re. Pythium, If we win and if Pyth refuses peace then I may freely give some of it's provinces and one of it's VPs to one of my allies. I will do all that's possible to not paint a big target on my forehead.

But, First things first - we have a war to win.

Executor, I genuinely respect you and value your friendship. I guess we were bound to run into each other at some point and so we have :)

GL and may the best beast, wolf, undead, legionary, winged birdman or spotted jagwere win :D

Guys, If no sub is found for Van by next turn I'll be forced to turn it to AI. It sucks but I guess we're better off with AI than with a leaderless nation.

In case you didn't know there isn't a magic "turn AI" button on the server. I'll have to ask a favor from some trusted 3rd party to perform that task.

If you are willing to let a newbie sub in, I'll sub for Vanhiem. It would be my first multiplayer game however.

NebulousQ, I think that would be fine. The AI is completely hopeless and is only serviceable (in a way) for SP. As for you, I hope this would serve to be an entertaining learning experience. Please PM with your email address ASAP. Once I get it I'll set you up for controlling Van and extend the hosting so you have time to get your bearings.

PM sent.

Turn sent. I'll also add 48h to the timer.

Welcome aboard :)

Guys, it looks like Tryfan has doubly scrxwed us, first disappearing like that and 2nd by password protecting his file.

Hoplosternum, any chance you can ask him for the password?

I have set a master pwd in place but I'm reluctant to pass it.

Dear players, I am asking for any helpful suggestions you may have. I don't want to drag the game forever and NebulousQ has his turn but can't play it :(

Re: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, vets, busy, 13/16 players left
 

Well, just to be on the safe side I suggest you take over Vanheim and give Ermor over to NebulousQ. That seems like the most logical step to me.

Also, if you happen to find Vanheim not to your liking you should than change yourself to AI. And don't forget to send your gems and gold to someone so they don't go to waste, say to Jotunheim for example...
