Ulm is going AI - thanks for the game - it was a blast. See you around!

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

And thanks to you, too. You made a fine enemy, i really enjoyed waging war with you over the last 50 turns. After years of playing Dominions singleplayer this game was (and is) a totally new and great experience, thanks in part to you.

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

50 turns of war (!)

thanks for playing Ulm - althoug we have not had the honor to face Grom on the battlefield, we enjoyed reading of his great deeds!

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

Thanks spacht/parcelt. Shinuyama was an honorable and humorous foe, worthy to get crushed by. It was a great group for a first MP game.

I will be curious to see who comes out on top in Urapara.

> I will be curious to see who comes out on top is Urapara.

Yeah, if we kill Abysia, it'll be every man for himself. Kind of like Survivor at the end.

BTW, Abysia, I saw something ... eh ... Abominable crawling in your general direction ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

It would appear that Abominations are not so ... Abominable.

On the other hand, Nararaja has been kind enough to allow the guru who manage to mind-enslave Father Illearth to keep him as a "pet." The guru was last seen giggling uncontrollably whilst commanding Illearth to carry stones to-and-fro. Very strange.

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

Yes, I guess this turn had some mixed results for both of us. We do encourage you to keep shipping in those elephants... mmmh roasted elephant steak!

Bandar, I'd be interested to learn a few things: that damn worthless Illearth was fully equiped - did you get any of the items after enslaving him or do they simply disappear? Also, how do you get an abomination?

(if you'd rather share once the game is over that's fine).

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

Abominations are summoned -- Conj9 (S5 W2). I have been advised that I ought to have cast Gift of Reason on him so he could be given magic items.

No, Illearth didn't come with his gear. Actually, he was rendered a non-commander, which may be why. I will need to cast Gift of Reason on him to make him a commander again. I suppose all the gear was lost as a result. We'll see later. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

You get some of gear when you kill enemy. You get all equipment if you Charm him. But I think you lose it all when you just enslave mind.

Re: Urapara - MA newbie PBEM game [starting]
 

Hum ... not sure how Nararaja survived that, but he appeared in a province next to the battle (yet, the seige goes on!). There are goofy things with this version of the game when it comes to battle resolution.

That aside, the end is in sight for the noble Bandar nation. Its heros are dead, most of his stalwart armies, and now half of its rishis and gurus. Even a newly awakened Tarrasque (which just happened to be dozing near the fort in which Nararaja had been holed up) could not change the course of events. All of Bandar is open to Abysia's hordes to conquer. Truly, a sorry state.

Mental Note: In the future, don't bother with Mistform when the opponent is casting Fire Storm.
