I have returned your bunny, dear sir... hopefully it does not miss it's head :hurt:

Sorry, bro, the treaty was violated when you moved into the buffer zone. No hard feelings, but we're at war.

If Bandar log explains what that insane message he sent me means, I might be able to formulate a response.

Unless it's supposed to be a joke?

How could you possibly understand a monkey people? They'd probably just be yelling things like 'Monkey like eat kalamari' at you pre-attack

My current hypothesis is that Marakata's had been huffing paint, then decided to throw rocks into an Octopus

I was trying to infuse some light humor into the preceedings, and take the piss out of your Thing That Should Not Be. guess our simmian brains have more capacity for humor than you simple calimari.

@ Domenje:

I would sell a hammer for water gems, if that is a more available resource to you...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. But how did you know....

AAaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

Hrmm, read back over the messages. :)

I said I was going to take that province to act as a buffer zone between us. I didn't say no one would take it, and then jump into it myself, which would have been rather dishonorable.

So, considering that, I again offer your a 3 turn NAP. :)

Thought I'd better stick up a post, apologies for staling one turn a while back - I think I thought I'd already done the turn - I was surprised to discover I hadn't! :mad: I'm also on GMT so tend to do my turn in the evenings after work, so that's why it sometimes looks like I'm cutting it fine to the deadline. ;)

Nice to see you're all having a good time but if anyone needs to send me a message - please do so in game or via PM so I get an e-mail. With a little baby to look after, I don't have time to keep up with the thread. ;)

I know it's a rookie game, but it's still really balls annoying to lose so badly to such a rookie mistake.

Bottom line, the great Arco/Man battle, every single one of my casters was scripted with a spell that costs one gem as their first action. I forgot to bring any gems.

Result: Not only did I miss out on my first round of powerful essential spells, I also proceeded to have all my casters to not follow script for after that either, and just generally suck ***.

/cry for me Argentina.

Re: Rock the Cradle--Noob Only! (RUNNING)
 

I'm trying to figure out what spell it is. Since your casters are only 2N1A or 3N and one with 2A2S it makes me curious. I'm guessing it'd be Wind Guide for the sorcerer. Maybe Growing Fury? Couldn't be Haste cause that wouldn't have helped. Foul Vapours? No no W mages...

What 'battle changing spell' were you thinking of that requires a gem and able to cast at that level? I know you have Thaumaturgy 2+ and Enchantment3+ and Alteration 3+... Can't find it.

And I made a huge mistake too, I kept my rearmost near my mages. I lost 3 of my good mages! the other 1 of the 4 was just a mystic that I didn't care much about. Also lost a few elephants. Poor dears.
