Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I owe you one now. Just don't change your mind while I'm away.

Don't hate me Darkstone, I'm not going anywhere glamorous. The idea is just to spend some time at the sea. I'm going to Chalkidiki, Greece.

Oh, and tell me who of you guys is sending those assassins? Jim is it you?

Assassins??? Moi???

I see my turn staled?? I was sure I sent in the turn!!!!

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

On the server it says we all staled, but I received my turn in the mail normally. Try the "Request turn resend" option if you didn't receive your turn.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Alright, but that still sounds real nice.

I have tons of assassins throughout Kailasan lands, most of them biding their time to strike, though some mages always insist on killing now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Also, I received two turns. So it seems like the llamaserver hosted twice, which is why we all have stales. The turn should still be rather fair, since when everyone stales, only the AI wins.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

I didn't mean slayers, but the actual assassin unit, or do you have those as well?

I didn't receive two turns, just one. So now I asked for turn resend and received the staled turn. But the thing is that the staled turn is turn 72, and in the mail it said I received turn 71. I hope this doesn't cause further problems.

Edit: I asked llamabeast to rollback the turn. I already did most of my turn and spent a lot of time, I'd hate to have to do it all again.

Edit 2: I just realized that maybe you were playing on the staled turn and spent a lot of yours time. In that case lets leave it as it is. I'd prefer to rollback if you didn't do much though - for consistency, my almost done turn and lost research.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Just in case you didn't get the message, we've rolled back, and the one to play is the one where you didn't stale.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Yeah, let's go ahead and play the original turn 71 as the llamamessage says. I did get two turns, and I did load in the latter turn. I have now saved the original turn over top that one, and have the real turn 71.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

OK....I just cannnot defend against Kailasa. He has way too powerful units for me. We can either find a sub, or the two of you divide the C'tisian spoils as you wish.

Giving up after just 2 weeks? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

He's barely taken any of your territory, though you did drop the ball with Ulm.

Look, I'm losing units left and right as well, mostly useless scouts and commanders, but mages too, to nearly endless amounts of mindhunts. That's what happens when he has the nexus, and the chalice to heal those feebleminded yogi's everytime he stumbles on one of my astral mages. He's also teleporting tons of stuff with tons of astral pearls. My strategy is all about using a lot less resources than he is, and I'm feel I'm certainly succeeding in that, though I'm still building up patiently in preparation of overwhelming power. All you have to do is hold on.

Playing against a more powerful (as well as skilled) opponent has been a very great experience, and very educational. Don't give up just yet. I'll leave you with this quote, "You can only become smarter by playing against smarter opponents."

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

What actually happened with Ulm when I set it to AI? Psycho said something about the AI busting out, which it was obviously going to do, but details would be nice to know. Anyone care to enlighten me?
