Re: Host delay?
Oh, it wasn't so much a strategic error in me being overextended - I had both Yomi and Argatha essentially conquered and no indication that wouldn't be wrapped up before our NAP expired. The setback when the double SCs unexpectedly popped out like jack-in-the-boxes was followed by you jumping the gun and attacking before our NAP had expired and whatsmore immediate abandoning any semblance of acting in your own self interest to simply ignore everything and throw every troop you had into pushing as far and fast as possible into my lands. I'll admit it did catch me off guard that you abandoned any pretense of defending your lands as the Abyssians massed on your other border. Its a bit odd that your conclusion is I need the Abyssians to save me, I opened a third war front fully expecting to be facing roughly half your army, falsely believing you'd have some interest in fighting off Abyssia. As it is the steam runs out in your blitz with no lasting consequence (other than briefly keeping me from putting Argatha and Yomi out of their misery), while Abyssia rolls in from the West and my regrouped forces begin to move back up to offense.
So yes, it did not go as smoothly as I hoped but I don't think I made any big mistakes given the information I had at the time. |
Re: Host delay?
There's rarely any truly lasting consequences from having someone who's going to die stinging you - other than the fact that it slows you down momentarily which, in and out of itself, is something of that will have an ever so slight effect that will affect you forever. You know, in the form of a maybe slightly smaller troop number/research/etc in turn X after war (which is kind of a given), which is the best I can hope for in the first place.
And yes, I'm quite certain that you did need Abysia to help you out - as in, instead of him being in opposition of you, really. Although. Had you been alone and Abysia had stayed out, the effects of my raids would've been... I'd say, a lot worse for you (basically because I'm forced to rush and exert myself even more than I had originally intended), as Abysia wouldn't be lowering my income, forcing me to bring my mages and such closer to the capital instead of letting them sit where they were, running after my raid groups and so forth. Your poison arrows are little more than regular arrows for my armies as most of them are undead, and by extension, poison resistant. Only really scary thing you have are those durn sacred riders. Just against you, I would've expected a rather prolonged war which I would've lost as I couldn't have kept up in sheer numbers (my (gem) income is abysmal) I think, but still, a long war. What I'm trying to say is that I was rather optimistic of my ability to fight the war until Abysia came in, too. At that point I knew I can't even survive for long. Throwing half of my armies on one of you and the other half on the other would've been suicide - your army sizes were practically identical to mine, and together they were TWICE the amount I had. I knew I had to fight one almost exclusively while giving the other practically free passage through my lands, or I wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING. -- I'm gonna go away on Friday and come back on Sunday, so could the turn be postponed if I haven't sent my turn? Puhleeze! This is an important time for my nation, as I try to cause some havoc on mah enemies before actually dying. |

Uh, well, I go away on Friday, I'll be gone at least from like... 16:00 EET (GMT+2), and I'll probably come back at around 16:00 EET (GMT+2), which would be 14:00 GMT on both days.

Sunday... How did I forget that word from that post?

Re: Host delay?
Not sure why Yomi would continue to attack me while Sauromatia is everywhere. Oh well, I have killed Yomi's dragon, again. So Now Sauromatia has 1 less SC to worry about.

Re: Host delay?
Doh! I thought we had a delay. Oh well, one stale is a small price to pay for having that dragon gone (I think he was jumping blind trying to avoid my hit squad and didn't really mean to attack you Rytek).

Re: Host delay?
I was under that impression as well. I just barely got my turn in like 5 minutes before the deadline.
Sensori is going to be pissed. I think every game he asked for a delay in, he isn't getting it. Jazzepi |
Re: Host delay?
I think he got his turn in, Lanka attacked me this turn...
