Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Many thanks Pasha!

Ok, so we're finally good to go http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I'll send turn #1 at 10:30 PM GMT+2.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn 1 sent.
Good luck to everyone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Next hosting will be on Friday 10:30 PM GMT+2.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Thanks for setting this up and for hosting!

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I noticed now that I do not have the neopangea map. Where do I get it?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I believe under the Scenarios, Maps, and Mods forum there is a thread about Neopangea. And the link is in there.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Use the small version of the map!

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Take it from here: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...31&fpart=1

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

The only complaint I have about this map is the transition between sea and land. Some places ...there is water yet its still considered land. It makes for planning routes difficult.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Maybe you can report it in the above thread so the map maker can fix those.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Did the turn run last night? If so, I didn't receive the email.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Isn't it scheduled for tonight? Or am I confused with time zone translations?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Oh. Heh. No, I'm confused by day-of-week - happens when you're working 6-7 days a week in a home office. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

It is scheduled for tonight. I guess 48h hosting can be a bit confusing. For now I suggest that we keep it that way but later in the game we can switch to fixed hosting like on Sat. Mon. and Wed.

Oh and tonight is GMT+2 so translated to PST for example it 12:30 PM.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

yeah, really sorry guys. i thought i had withdrawn from any games starting while i was away, but i apparently forgot about this one :\

gooluck everyone!

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn number 2 sent.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Did I win yet??

Shmonkey!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Oversay will be out of town from wednesday evening until saturday evening. He has requested that we delay the hosting so that he doesn't stale. I am for that, unless there are stern objections...

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

With that travel schedule and the current (early) stage of the game, it seems you could host Tuesday, Thursday (with oversway sending his turn Tuesday night or Wednesday morning), and Sunday.

Would that work for him?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Hi!
Could you please tell me the provinces I should fix?
(I'm the author of the map).

And hope you'll enjoy fighting on Neopangea http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif .

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

That makes sense. Oversay?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I have noticed a couple things, but let me get a few more games on it to give you a complete report.

I do really dig this map tho, next to CoD, its the most pleasing on the eyes imho.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Works for me. I sent the next turn in already (for thursday). Pasha agreed to sub but it seems that I could get my saturday turn in late saturday night (maybe technicaly early morning sunday), so I told him not to bother. If we want to host sunday evening instead, that is fine as well.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn #5 sent.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Just sent my .2h file, maybe it is not too late to host tonight, despite the email. Thanks for waiting, everyone.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn 6 has been sent.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Anyone else not having an easy time?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Strength 9 indies is something you really have to plan around. Stick to taking out provinces with only some combination of militia, infantry, archers, and light cav. Avoid heavy cav, crossbows, and knights until you are sure you're strong enough to take them.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

LoL I did.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn 9 sent.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Guess I staled, then - I was thinking the deadline was tomorrow.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

@RonD, I am sorry that you have staled and I hope my previous status message wasn't confusing. If you recall I have said that yesterday: "Also the next hosting might be delayed by a few hours (it depends on how late I return tomorrow).". I did not by any way say that the deadline is tomorrow. Please tell me if this message was in any way not clear so that I might be aware of that for the future.

I know how annoying it is to stale. So, for all the players, please make sure to tell me if you think you might not be able to send the turn in time.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

It wasn't your message - for the past 8 months I've been in at least one email game that hosts on Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday, so I just had Sunday on my brain.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Same for me.

I was just lucky that I happened to notice from the host email that the turn was hosting Saturday instead of Sunday, or I too would have staled.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

This is not good. If more players find it confusing then we can swith to a fixed hosting schedule of Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Oh, I suspect I've learned my lesson.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Gmail is awesome. If you have GTalk, you get popups when you recieve an e-mail. I have forgotten a couple times already, and the 24 hour updates from Wraith have reminded me to get my turn in.

If anyone wants a gmail account let me know.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Oh and turn 10 has been sent.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Nah27, I am about to host turn 10 and still haven't received your turn.
This will be the second time straight that you stale.
Are you having trouble participating in the game? If so, please let me know asap.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Where can I find the map?

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

On turn 12, you need the map? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Take it you had to switch computers or reinstall. It's on the mods/maps forum, here.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn 13 out.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Turn 14 out.

No stales http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Can we possibly pause this game for a few days? I have to be out of town from Thursday morning to Monday afternoon (PST), and was wondering if we can pause during that time? The next turn is due to host Wed (tomorrow) and I can play that turn before I leave, but then Friday and Sunday I couldn't do.

Let me know if this is possible or not, or if anybody objects (and I can try and find a sub).

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I think there should be no problem with delaying the game for a few days. This evening's hosting will be as scheduled but the next hosting will be next Monday evening.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Awesome, thanks!

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I have look at the rules. When did it change from no blood hunting to blood forging/blood magic is forbiden? I think it should be up to me if I want to use my three slaves a turn for magic or for dominion.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

No, it shouldn't be. RTFR : Blood hunting is prohibited. The map settings give an unfair advantage to blood hunting nations being the reason for this rule .

Given that no one else is allowed to blood hunt, so that blood summonings and items wouldn't be in the game, why do you think all of a sudden it should be your choice? Especially given that then, it becomes essentially impossible to tell whether or not you're cheating and blood hunting.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

I'm almost dead, so what I say doesn't count, but I agree with Cainhill -- I thought the rules were pretty clear. Although, I think blood battlefield magic may be acceptable. It wasn't really discussed, probably since it isn't that great.

Re: Clash Of Armies
 

Folket, there was a phase prior to the game starting that we have discussed the possibilities wrt blood nation/hunting.
Before that game had started we had all agreed on the following rule:
"1. Blood hunting is prohibited. The map settings give an unfair advantage to blood hunting nations being the reason for this rule. Since Mictlan needs to blood sacrifice for spreading dominions they are an exception to this rule. Mictlan is allowed to blood hunt but are prohibited from blood research and the forging of items that require blood slaves (with the exception of the jade knife). "
Meaning excatly that. We all agreed that blood hunting should be prohibited but were willing to make a (small) exception for Mictlan so that it would at least be able to spread dominion. The alternative to this rule would have been to simply ban all blood nations.

I have made this as clear as possible, even asking you via email whether you are still interested in playing Mictlan in spite of this limitation, to which your gave a positive answer. Anyway, I understand there might have been a confusion, for which I am sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif, yet those were the agreed house rules.
