In other news, the brutal troglodytes of Ulm have breached C'tis' sovereign borders. May they be greeted with the warm embrace of pestilence and disease as they slog through to the Sacred City. May the brave temple guards slay for the glory of Ss'athra!

Also, anyone nearby is free to (ahem) help out. You will be rewarded with gems or items from our expansive magical emporium if so (requests welcome). Stop these agressors while you still can, they are rapidly gaining on the graphs!

Re: News
 

Well this has gotten rather ugly on the frontlines with Marignon. I've only tried Caelum in small doses before and so far I just am not liking the way it works.

Staling is very bad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif.

Re: News
 

Nation of Ulm is trading lizard skin boots. Bulk discount available.

I tell you what, make me an offer and perhaps it will be more profitable to take your gems than to bring civilization to your backward bogs.

Re: News
 

The sight of 30 mammoths paralyzed before they can even get to their target is priceless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

I've never played MA Caelum but i can't really see how to make it work. Their units seem to have huge weak points...

Re: News
 

An unsurprisingly brutal missive from a group of people that measure civility by the thickness of their armour.

My offer is to come attack our lands at your own expense. We'll see how well your famed armour protects you against the fevers of the marsh.

Re: News
 

So be it, let us measure the thickness of your capital's walls then. I find a naked broadsword makes for more civility than good armor, let us see if laying bare the heart of your nation brings civilization to you half men. May you one day find some small honor joining the Pangean half men in the coal mines to feed the mighty forges and help bring civilization to all corners of the world, ushering in a new age of prosperity for all true men. Sadly, I think you personally will not live to see that day.

Re: News
 

I saw that battle. It really isn't a good comparison of abilities as you had probably at least 3x the amount of gold/resources/leaders invested in your army compared to Caelum.

Re: News
 

I'm still happy with the outcome even if it wasnt a "good comparison of abilities"... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
I'm a newbie and my strategy worked..let me enjoy it for a while (that's until you 3 finish me off in a couple of turns...)

Hehe - whoever said there was more to life than winning was probably a loser. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You crushed him (and me) pretty good. Notice me running away? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: News
 

Dang mammoths are the only solid melee I have and they have such lousy MR, they got gutted. For size 3, Caelum troops are fragile and their propensity to dive onto enemy spears is disconcerting. High Seraphs seem plagued with afflictions too, even with growth. My prophet as an example, now has 5 of them spawned by an old age caused disease that has saddled him with being mute and feebleminded on top of other issues. My luck this game is terrible. At least it's been enjoyable anyway.

Re: News
 

The nation of Ulm has need of earth and astral gems. Our master smiths can make it worthwhile for anyone who wishes to trade for items, or we have most other raw gems as well.

Re: News
 

Machaka is interested in buying death gems, we think about 30 would be good, but we will also trade smaller amounts. We can offer Air and Nature gems.

Re: News
 

In the hands of an experienced player Caelum is one of the most powerful nations in the game. Personaly i fear them as much as any nation, including the vaunted heims. But, they are totaly a caster country. Mammoths have there uses, but for the most part the purpose of their army ("winged rats") is to distract and pin the enemy forces while their top notch mages blow the bejezzus out of them with Falling Frost, Thunder Strike, Lightning, Orb Lightning and/or Ice Strike while spewing illusion spam, especially False Horror, to keep the enemy at range. This of course, does not work until till you have the research.

Re: News
 

My High Seraphs are in fact set to thunderstrike many times before being forced to cast spells which is the only reason things have not been worse than they have been. My first couple battles with the mammoths trampling and my god zipping around with Awe+7 (after she casts thunderstrikes herself) backed by repeated thunderstrikes worked well.

The Prophet finally succumbed to his mass of afflictions this last turn. Now to get my god back...

Re: News
 

Buying EARTH gems for our allies, and ASTRAL gems for myself.
Will pay at 25 per, up to 60 gems, price negotiable.
PM me if interested.

Re: News
 

Looking for Astral Gems in large amounts, willing to trade Earth, Fire or Water in return. PM me or contact in game.

I would like to trade earth boots for a thistle mace.

Anyone else see that large Abysia/Marignon battle?

Carlos-
That was a nailbiter battle. I think you casted about 80+ mind burns at me while I launched about 90+ Fireballs/Fireclouds. At one point I think half the battle field was on fire http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

All my troops are complaining about migraines...

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Kojusoki will be subbing for me till Sunday, August 5th. Any diplomatic inquiries in that time should be sent to him.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Yes, lots of mages in that battle. Unfortunately mind burns didnt work as expected and a migraine was all your troops suffered. Do you think i should've gone with a massive Paralyze instead? Anyways, it all adds up to experience and i hope next game i'll do better. Well done Velusion!
Good luck! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Argatha is looking for a Thistle Mace.

We have earth boots available for immediate trade. We will also trade gems or we can create other items of equal value.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Hah!

You guys were too scared to send someone to go up against my 2F2H mage for the death match eh?

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I always forget about those Death Matches. At the start of the turn I'm usually psyched for some fun arena combat and by the end of my turn I'm mired in invasion details and production plans.

I need a Death Match reminder.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I found this on page 2 so thought I would give it a bump. Pls feel free to help out Atlantis they are under attack from the EVIL Oceania!!!

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I (Abysia) am looking to trade death gems away.

I'm looking for Astral/Fire/Earth or air boosters.

I'll trade gems 1:1 and pay the base cost for air boosters.

Corruption Issue
 

After some troubleshooting it would appear that Tien Chi's turn file is corrupt and the turn cannot host.

Digress - you will need to delete the turn info in your Nuance game folder and completely redo your turn (do not resubmit the same turn). I reset the clock so you have 48 hours to do this.

Sorry about the delay people, but these things happen!

Re: Corruption Issue
 

Sorry just saw the post - will go and get the turn in.

Bugger it went and put the turn in and crashed my computer - past experience tells me it has probably crashed things at your end too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Damn that ability to multi-task.

You read the post while you are opening the game at the same time - but get to the critical bit as the turn is being resubmitted.

Re: Corruption Issue
 

K try it again Digress

Re: Corruption Issue
 

Selling lightless lanterns, 5 death gems apiece.

Re: Corruption Issue
 

Agartha has gone AI. My Pretender got beat down twice by Arco's army. I thought that 35 MR would stop about any magic attack but I learned that Solar Ray is not resistable.

Re: Corruption Issue
 

As I have something important to attend tonight could you please delay the host for one more day?

Re: Corruption Issue
 

Still in spain, found a net cafe. Did I get a sub or am I gone now?

Re: Corruption Issue
 

No sub http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

But then I don't have one for me either - not sure if I'll make the deadline or not.

When do you come back Shovah?

If void misses his then all of us in the SE with stale http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Corruption Issue
 

Im coming home tomorrow. Should be home tomorrow night but probably cant play til the day after.
Stales really suck for me, I just started a war with caelum...

Re: Corruption Issue
 

just push the deadline back a bit I say...

Re: Corruption Issue
 

How many times has the game hosted since wednesday? *gulp*

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I'll hold the game until tomorrow evening for you Shovah.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Looks like I managed to get my turn in but thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

We, the people of Ermor, are in search of earth gems. We need 50-60 and can offer death gems and/or a limited number of fire gems in exchange on a 1-1 basis.
Contact me by PM.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Looks like the server may have locked up when i triggered QH.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

It does seem that way.
On another note the nation of Ermor(and our strange research priorities) has recently developed the ability to cast vengance of the dead with a number of its mages.
We are not a greedy people, and, with that in mind, we are willing to offer our services to the other nations of the world. If you are interested in purchasing some of our mages time please send me a PM.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Server's fine now.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I'm looking for water gems. I can trade fire gems or blood slaves.

I'd be willing to trade away 6 fire gems for every 5 water gems or 10 blood slaves for every 5 water gems.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Ermor is trading away fire gems. We offer a 1:1 rate trading fire gems for earth/astral and a 6:5 rate when trading fire gems for death gems.
We have a reasonably large stock and income of fire gems and would consider setting up a permanent/long lasting trade.
Offers will be improved for bulk buyers.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Arco is buying pearls.
We offer all other sort of gems incl. blood slaves at a 11:10 rate, with the exception of slaves which is 20:10. If you are interested in gold, we can buy at 40g per pearl.
PM me for more details.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Preparing to cast Arcane Nexus, huh?

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Preparing to summon a horde of Seraphs to rescue people of the Pythium from grasp of the most-stupid-ever leader, I suppose.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I'm looking to trade away my excess fire gems.

For every 5 water gems you trade me I'll give you 6 fire gems.
For every other type of gem you trade me I'll give you 1:1 exchange.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

I was asked to delay the hosting for 24 hours.

Re: Nuance - Random Nations, Middle Era (Sign Up)
 

Bah! Forget to set the Nuance clock back to 48 hours. I'm restoring the backup before it hosted.
