Game Started
 

You game is now running on 24hr quickhost. Enjoy!

Re: Game Started
 

Thanks Iron, for yet again hosting for us.

This should be interesting. This is a huge map for this amount of players (compared to the other game we are playing in).

Good luck everyone.

Re: Game Started
 

I've been enjoying playing this map in SP, as it really gives you time to set up a strategy. Let's hope we can get some interesting diplomacy going as well! Everyone know about the IRC channel? (www.gamesurge.net #dominions)

Re: Game Started
 

I promise NAP with all races I meet. =) As long as you give me a free province as fealty.

Re: Game Started
 

Kissblade, you are number one on my have to kill list. Just so that you are warned. I consider all other players friends.

Re: Game Started
 

Umm... maybe I should rescind my free province idea ...

Re: Game Started
 

Do you really have something to fear from me? If I remember correctly you totaly trashed me in a blitz not so long ago.

Re: Game Started
 

Really? I find that doubtful, you must've been thinking of a different player =\. I just started playing blitzes on Saturday. Unless you were the one I played where I got a five provinces lead early on and then lost horribly -.- ...

Re: Game Started
 

new turn is up.

Re: Game Started
 

Ya I love this map. It gives you clear borders and allows you to actually have a stable front.

Re: Game Started
 

Hi, just to let everyone know. Tien Chi will be trading Astral gems for nature at a one to one ratio. So if you have extra nature gems you wish to cash in, msg me. Note that I will have them in limited supply so hurry hurry, please keep all deals with me via messages sent through pm's or in game and not here. I will also take surplus earth gems as well.


Thank you,

A humble representative of the Court of Spring and Autumn

New turn, dudes and... probably just dudes.

Re: New turn
 

Re: New turn
 

Gah just my luck to bump into the one guy who says I'm on his number list as number one to kill ... on turn 3 *turns on the troop factory...*

Re: New turn
 

just my luck that my armies retreat the turn before they would kill the last independant commander on the field. bah!.

Re: New turn
 

woops.

Re: New turn
 

I hereby decleare a limited effort to end the reign of Tien Chi.

The evil liar that refuse to admit that he trashed me in a blitz a couple of days ago. (Seems like he does not know that Twokubikmeter is my second personality.)

Re: New turn
 

I really don't remember playing you >_<. It was castigated who was playing that game! I only did one turn for him >_>.

And personally, our court objects to being labeled "evil". We're not cold blooded lizard expansionists!

Re: New turn
 

Anyone who is in my way to expand is evil.

Re: New turn
 

If you planned to expand my direction, I have funny news for you. For you see, my other two surrounding provinces reports 40 heavy cavalry and light cavalry and 80! tribal archers and tribal warriors. Your provinces may actually prove /easier/ to take given these revelations ...

Re: New turn
 

Well, go ahead and attack me.

Re: New turn
 

new turn up

Re: New turn
 

You were the one who is insinuating hostilities first while the Celestial Empire of Tien Chi sues for peace! I shall not be one to act in such an immoral fashion as "preemptive strike"! Your trickery will not work upon me.

Re: New turn
 

I may have failed to win by trickery. Now I will win by force of arms.

Re: New turn
 

I find it foolhardy, that you would hold such a grudge when I wasn't even the original player of that game you were referring to. It was castigated who was using Tien Chi when you were using Caelum, I merely took over the last two remaining turns when he had to go. >.<

Re: New turn
 

Hehe, what is there to say... I may be aggressive. Some would say to aggressive. I am trying out the game.

Re: New turn
 

yah it's fine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif If only I didn't select a setup where it was more optimal to build up ... I really wanted to try out some of the new spells I never got to use too. =(

Re: New turn
 

new spells?

Re: New turn
 

stuff like enslave mind and communion.

Re: New turn
 

enslave mind+quickness vrs regular troops=uber leet pwnage (each man you enslave will die but each man you enslave means 1 less guy for the enemy)

Re: New turn
 

enslave mind = more reason to not let him live, get him folket!

Re: New turn
 

haha ...

Re: New turn
 

Well I hope your dragon has a nice vacation in hell ...

Re: New turn
 

Of course he will.

Re: New turn
 

yeah i laughted a little when i got that message, unlucky Folket

Re: New turn
 

Not really, he's just being stupid at this point.

His entire basis of attacking me is because I finished a game for someone who was leaving during a blitz. And that's apparently enough reason to completely trade off his early game for mine in a totally unrelated game.

Re: New turn
 

How many Vicory Locations does some1 need to hold to win the game?

Re: New turn
 

This game is really not holding any appeal to me thanks to one player. If someone can take over for me, I will be thankful.

Re: New turn
 

Please note: I am dropping from this game, Tom Scudder will be playing TC from now on.

Re: New turn
 

The great Wyrm emerges from his chamber. "It is the strangest thing. I just dreamed that I was a philosopher dreaming that he was a butterfly. I woke from the one, and then from the other. Who are YOU?"

"I am your Illustrious Majesty's humblest servant, the unworthy one Hou Ji, named by some as master of the dead." He is used to the Wyrm's erratic behavior, but this is somehow different.

"I have servants? I am a majesty? What is this place, and how have I come to it?"

"Majesty has been pursuing deep study into the Ethereal. This worthless one thinks that perhaps it has damaged his memory?"

"These ones, they are dead. Why do they not go to their rest, to the place appointed for them?"

"This worthless one has called upon them, in aid against war, should it come. The lizards of C'Tis have made threats against your most illustrious majesty's person, and against his empire."

"I am confused. I dream that I am a butterfly, I dream then that I am a man, then that I am a great immortal creature. You tell me there is a war, that there are those who seek to kill me. I remember nothing of this."

"This worthless one wishes to say only that the enemy has been implacable so far."

"Send them a message. Tell them we seek peace and only peace. Send it now. I must go, must seek the Eternal."

The wyrm slithers off, upsetting a shelf of scrolls as it passes. Servants move in quickly, righting the shelves and rapidly replacing the scrolls upon them.

Greetings, all.

Re: New turn
 

Greetings! May his Scaliness of T'ien Ch'i rule long in wisdom and Wyrmliness.

-Bwargh of Ermor

Re: New turn
 

May I also point out, however amusingly. The Wyrm slew the pretender of Ctis.

Re: New turn
 

This is only my 2nd game, my first being started days before this one so I don't really have a handle on dom2 mp. But isn't someone attacking early part of the game no matter what his reasons?

Re: New turn
 

Not when it's clearly gaining him nothing. All he's managed to do so far is lose his pretender and a bulk of his army and kill one celestial mage (who I placed wrong) and a noble. I'd counter if it wasn't for the fact that miasma is impossible to rush if you're not undead. Plus an early war completely screws both players normally. Case in point, I played a blitz a few days ago with Boron. While I eventually won, it costed me so much that the other players were already 4 times my level and pythium just came along and crushed me without a thought. So what's the point of playing a pointless game?

Re: New turn
 

pythium had also not run into anyone at all that game until he fought tien chi for c'tis' capital. pythium was bored.

Re: New turn
 

this was exactly what i was trying to explain to you in that game we argued in. i said we all had to attack QM, but you seemed convinced that if you fought me first, you would have been stronger.

now you're just contradicting yourself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif (that, or maybe learning)

Re: New turn
 

That was TOTALLY different. Your plan to attack QM was to take three of my provinces first!

Re: New turn
 

i only wanted one. that's what i was arguing about. at the end, all i wanted was a path to him, and all you wanted to do was attack me. you also agreed with me at one point that you thought you would be stronger if you fought me first. i saved the chat, and i would post it, but i'm not at home. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

edit: i'm not going to post any more about this, because we already spammed about it enough, and it's hard to pin down what the points are that you are defending. we agreed to disagree.
