after buffing up toots flew to the rear and killed your commander. Next was your god but OH NO MY ONE MANIKAN ON THE FIELD DIED. so of course toots fled.

Re: MP Game - Return of the Rejects
 

The daily timer had gotten a little bit out of sync and was running at closer to 5 AM ET than 4 AM like it is supposed to. Since everyone had their turns in, I rejiggered it and now it is running at 3 AM.

Since the only one who ever submitted a turn anywhere close to the deadline is me, I doubt this will have much practical impact, but I thought I ought to mention it.

Nuzzle.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Guess I've been taking pages from Norfleet's book! Actually, my wealth is meager (less than 100 gold after upkeep). I did convert ONE gem with my shiny new Alchemy stone just to see how it worked. Can a master password be used by someone to view my nation to determine that the T'ien Ch'i are a legitimate, warmongering nation? If not, I'll quit the game. But I'm not quitting my other games.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

I've got a master password, but I'd rather not use it, as I'm playing in the game, and border you besides http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I could send it to a third party and have them check on things.

That said: There is a known bug with the Alchemist Stone where, if you use it to perform alchemy, and then remove it from the mage again afterward, you will trigger the cheat detection.

Not sure how to proceed from here.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Sheap,I only was able to connect via the IP-adress you gave out in another game(24.8.118.21),which I luckily discovered reading through some topics .

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

same with me. the domain name wasn't working and I'm only connected this morning thx to mardagg.

the game is still 24h isn't it? i've had a couple stale turns now and its frustrating 'cause i take it just about the same time every morning.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Yes, something is wrong in the DNS. I don't control this unfortunately, so all I can do is wait for it to come back.

Everyone use the IP: 24.8.118.21 for now.

I am sorry djtool that you weren't able to connect. But anyone that has problems, and doesn't want to stale, needs to either post in the forum or find me on IRC, and I will make an accomodation for you. As of now everyone has turned so I think we are in pretty good shape.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Has anyone been able to connect to this one today? I've tried over and over, but no joy, and it hosts in 2 hours or so.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Still not able to connect,too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

To the other remaining nations(Ulm,Man,Marignon,Tien Chi):

I strongly vote for a 48 hour no quickhost schedule now.

What do you think?

Btw.,Boron,am I right that you staled the Last 2 turns?

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

I'd certainly agree with 48 QH, for however much longer I'm still alive and kicking. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Ulm certainly agrees to 48 hour quickhost as these turns are freaking -monstrous-. I'm shaking in my little platemail boots for like 3-4 hours at a time, I'm going to have a heart-attack at this pace. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Damn your tartarians...to...um....tartarus!!! Dammit!!!

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Heh. And thank _you_ for nicely equipped SCs and artifacts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

On the other paw, people! CUnknown has had _no_ problems dealing with what amounted to mad castling of mine - at least half my provinces had castles.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I thought so,that you would agree to 48 hour schedule.
Your turns must be even more complicated than mine,with your armies spread all over the world and a sudden attack on your back lands.

I have sent Sheap a PM,hopefully we get the slower schedule quite soon.
I assumed that Tien Chi and Marignon will be ok with this,too,since we are getting into the end game,which means lots to do every turn(and with Boron having stale turns).

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

I agree to your demands upon any terms. Oh, wait. That was my surrender speach. Um. Can we slow down a tad? Ulm SuX. May his metal be re-forged.

No joke Mardagg, it's rough.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Heh. I must say, it's been a hoot watching the two of you killing one another instead of killing me. Almost as good as when I steal your commanders, or leave your armies diseased and blind. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Blind Knights are -so- much fun.

But now Sheap's server seems to be down, so I can't see the latest installment of my destruction of the three of us. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Yes,server is down and I wasnt able to do(send) my turn because of this.
I guess that Sheap did stop it in order to change the hosting schedule as soon as he has the time to do it.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Oh....I'm sure I'll be having my commanders killed, stolen, diseased and blinded long after you're dead Cainehill. Have your fun, hehe.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Looks like the game is back up. Is it 48-hour quickhost now?

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Its still 24 hour no quickhost .
It seems,that Sheap didnt read my personal Messages...maybe he is on vacation?

Well,I will send him another pm ,for the meantime we should be happy,that the game is running again.

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Sheap did not post anything since the 10th, and I do not think he has sent any word since then (I could be wrong, however).

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Mardagg going dooown!

Isn't that right guys?

Guys...?

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Um....Cunknown.
Your like.....sieging Cainhill. Not that I've any right to tell you how things are. You crushed four other factions beneath the boot of Ulm. But Um.....you may consider relieving Cainhill of his obligations before taunting the Vanhiem. Mardagg Own$ you!
Tee-hee

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

Sadly, he got somewhat lucky this turn - killed Stonehenge twice, making it difficult for the great undead hope of Man to come back in an occupied capital. (His luck was in that my own wrathful skies killed the lich the first time - WS was supposed to go off in a different province.)

I think I've been doing enough damage that I _think_ Vanheim won't have too much of a problem with deaf, dumb, blind kids who sure play a mean pinball. Er, with a bunch of diseased blind Firbolgs, Bane Lords, etc, who don't have an army with them anymore.

I can't win - but I can damage Ulm and your T'ien C'hi C'hi C'hi as bad as them 4 hurricanes hitting just after I vacated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed
 

The Tien Chi do not need Man's assistance in losing this one. We have chosen a course of mediocracy, and bravely sail the seas of fate. The vaults of Monkeydust house a number of poorly applied devices. Were we a business, Bankruptcy Court would be common-place. Our Armies starve while druids sit upon chests of nature gems.
Still, The T'ien Ch'i glow with Karma, as they remain a power capable of rebounding from random events! As for Vanheim. I'd suspect T'ien Ch'i is Last on they're list of 'things to take care of'. Now that Man dwindles, perhaps VanHeim is looking for a new lacky!

Just looked at the Hall of Fame,well done Cainehill http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

It was/is a pleasure to see,that there are also players,that don`t quit from the game,as soon as their winning chances start decreasing.

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

Hmm..my turns seem to be getting easier. It's something about that "You're all over the world and everyone is attacking you at once" thing that makes turns really tough.

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

So...like....Thuella is now dead.
Can she be re-summoned by anyone?
-Yc (Hoping she stays dead this time)

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

exactly.
I currently need 3 hours on average only for the "important" things,and that every day.
To play nearly perfect turns,with all kind of micromanagement,I would need at least 1 hour more,which I haven`t these days,and my schedule is getting very full with the beginning of the next week.

This game is still much fun...but with 24 h its getting on my nerves currently.
I really hope that Sheap will appear "out of the shadows" soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Tien Chi could use the slower schedule to watch more battles...with eyes of god still up .

Alas, the Last of the Tuatha is now literally the Last of the Tuatha, at which point the bards and sages will be set free to drink, sing, and write down the histories of the Last days.

In other words - once my Last Tuatha's are gone, I'll be pretty much out of options for harassment and attrition, at which point I'll go AI but not before.

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

Once your Last Tuatha is gone, you should be out of provinces I'd think.

Um...didn't you charm my assassin, though? Wouldn't he be good for harrassment? Or do they lose their leader status once charmed?

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

charmed units dont lose leader status.
Only enslaved units do .

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

Uncle mardagg....
I give up! Hey...what spell were you using to attack my Sc's minds with...Bune for instance..
-Yc?

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

YC,its Mind Hunt,costing only 2 astral pearls.
Together with at least 1 penetration item,I get a minium of 13 penetration value per caster ,which is compared to Magic resistance.Then 2 six sided dices are thrown for both and added to each number.So its possible to kill even Sc`s with over 20 MR,when you are very lucky.

Note,that the spell doesnt work if the opponent has an astral mage in the province where it is aimed on.
In this case,the caster gets feebleminded and no mind hunt is done.

Your Sc`s all were lacking the Amulet of Magic Resistance,in addition to the magic scale we both have(subtracts another 1 from MR),so that Mind Hunt was quite effective indeed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

As much as I'd like to pretend I have a chance in this game, if we were playing with a reasonable 'victory by provinces' limit, you would have already won, Mardagg. I think I will play a turn or two more then call it quits if things don't start improving.

Re: MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Reje
 

The Marignon AI is playing quite well ,thats why I was not able to use some of my special forces against Ulm so far.
I already killed or undead mastered around 300 vampires permanently in the Last 3 turns and now the AI surprisingly starts fielding masses of decent quality staff,like fire snakes and mechanical men.
The best he could do,since Vampires proved to be very ineffective,because all my armies there had been well prepared against this type of unit.

But its only a matter of time until I can throw much more armies against you.

Btw,Fiends of Darkness are the nightmare of Vampires!
Each has two magical attacks and in connection with Rush of Strength,this is killing lots of vampires in no time.
Just a hint for further games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
