Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

There is one trn file per nation, and everyone does only get his own, but i can change player emails. @falkor, do you have another email address that i can use? Or else i could set temporary my e-mail (or someones you trust) as yours and upload the turns to the forum, but in this case i need your original one so that i can set it back afterwards.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

It could just be a curious one-off problem. These things do seem to happen very occasionally, for reasons I can't work out (it claims to have successfully sent the file, the file's in the right place etc.). Anyway, I'll send the file manually to Falkor now, and if it happens again we'll have to think more.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Thanks llamabeast,
I'm awaiting your mail.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I didn't get the turn file either. Turns out my spam filter was deleting the message right away instead of moving it to the spam folder. I did receive the first two turns without a problem, though.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

The timing of hosting does not play good for me.
So, I'd like to change my request.
Could I have 8 hours more for the next turn (5), please?
It should be enough to let me finnish the turn after I'm back on Wednesday.
Colud someone of you guys support me here, please? No 48 hour needed just 32.
This would be great.
Thanks,

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I don't mind switching to a 32-hour clock for turn 5.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Seconded. 32 hour hosting doesn't pose a problem for me.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

3rded

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

OK, i will posphone the hosting after the next turn by 8 hours.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Lanka/Coobe has staled twice in a row now, out of four turns.

Time to set AI?

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

i'll wait for a third time, and set him to AI then.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Perhaps make a post to see if anyone would like to take over? Missing 3 of the first 5 turns is rough, but he's still not out of the running per say.

I just got out of a game that had a lot of people go AI and it really made the game not as much fun. Even though I got a chance to mop up 3 AI's, it wasn't very rewarding. I can do that in single player if I want to.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

That's odd. Coobe just signed up for Fallacy. Did anyone try sending him a PM?

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I think Coobe also abandoned the game Rhoscrowther without warning/switching to AI. He's gonna get a bit of a bad rep doing this

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I dont know if its fun to sub for a nation that will be seriously lagging back in expansion.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

coobe wrote me about troubles with the llamaserver and is asking for sub, so i see if someone is interested, and else i will set him to AI.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Hm, seems we need someone outside the game to set lanka to AI. (If i do it myself, i might have problems as my CD key is already used by me)

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

That was very nice of you all to wait for me.
Thanks again,

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Hmm, so that's how you want to play it, is it, my giant neighbours?

Formoria's capital is province 279. He is currently heading due west with two large (for Fomoria) armies--right through my territories. In a turn or two, I will know whether I can beat him off to remain in the game or not.

In the meantime, since he hasn't said word one to me--ignoring my NAP offer and trying to rush me--I thought I would see if I cannot display his strategy for all to see, in the hopes that he will not be able to concentrate exclusively on us poor innocent birdmen. Those north, south, and east of Province 279 may have freer expansion if they head in his direction, since two major armies of his are concentrating on invading me. Those west of 279, well...best move in his direction before he gobbles up all the provinces! ; )

He has at least a F4/W4/S4/N4 bless, and I *think* he has a E9 bless (his units' Prot went up by 3--not 4--once blessed). He does not have any other 9-point bless that I can see.

--Caelum.

Edit: *sigh* Direction good yes do I! ; )

Intriguing...

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I just got a warning email saying the turn is hosting in three turns. I had seriously thought that I had submitted my turn already.

Is it possible to get the turn delayed for an extra three hours until I can get off of work.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

AS an aside, I think that warnings should be sent out 8 hours in advance. 8 hours is the maount of time people usually are at work, and is the amount of time people spend sleeping. A lot of the time a 3 hour warning doesn't help that much.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I would PM llamabeast and Hadrian_II both, flagged urgent. Either one of them is capable of delaying the turn...

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

i was not around http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

btw. is anyone else struck by rotten luck? The light infantery and archers province i invaded this turn was actualy 3 air mages ;/

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Bad luck, yes. R'lyeh's start position was in a three province, land-locked lake. I did find the mountains of madness, however...which is...thematic.

Ftagn-tastic.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Did I say I'd taken over Lanka? I meant to. I've taken over Lanka for a bit, rather than set them AI immediately, as it looks fun.

Unfortunately one of my first actions was forgetting to transfer the e-mail address to mine, and staling. Oh well.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Hmm...well well. It looks like I've overestimated my foe.

Fomoria. I am coming for you.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Bad, bad wizards. Pest, I tell you.
The forests of Pangaea was full of them before Delophne founded The Holy Garden. They all run away, though. Except for the one who was hanged on the nearby tree... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Well I'm done for. Vanheim swooped in with his W9/F9 Vanhere's and jumped on my capitol.

I still haven't gotten any Order from the scales bug, and just didn't have enough money the whole game to even build many units.

So I'm going AI.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Bad luck.
See you in other games BigDA.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

That was a crazy @$%#@ battle we just had on your capital...I had completely forgotten that Fomoria had sailing as well. When you bit at my armies old position while I sailed to your capital I thought for sure I had 2 turns of sieging before you'd even reach me.

It's a shame you got the scales bug (hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch). Not to mention the 2 barbarian invasions that have hit you since we've been fighting, just bad luck in general for you this game.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

The peaceful, innocent winged folk of Caelum wish to public denounce the misguided warmongering followers of Ulm!

They have had the unmitigated gall to refuse to roll over and let themselves be trampled under our unprovoked, agressive invasion deep into their provinces.

But it is far, far worse than that! Those vile, greedy imperialists have seen fit to invade our own peaceful provinces! And more! They have committed the unforgiveable crime of succeeding admirably in their counterattack!

We cannot stop their onslaught, we can only slow it down. All NAPs with all nations are hereby rescinded. Caelum retreats to their mountainous home, to see who will finally crack our egg.

Be warned! Our final shell shall break a great many teeth indeed before it is cracked!

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I will be away the weekend, so i would like to ask if someone has objections against ingreasing the hosting time to 48 hours just for the weekend?

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

You have my humble support.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

no objection.

And the peaceful nation of Ermor has been attacked by the vile men-beasts of Sauromatia. Any help cracking their back country will be rewarded with the neverending friendship of Ermor!
Long live the Emperor!

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Yomi chose to follow Caelum's lead and attack Ulm. This has proved to be an unmitigated disaster.

Ulm will have armies at my door in short order and the sacred mountain of the Oni will be firmly in their hands within months. My apologies to Ulm for not putting up anything remotely resembling opposition.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I have been trying to move my armies from Dun Vale (237) to Aole (214) for three turns now, but they do nothing. I'm 100% sure that I gave them the right orders. This sucks because my army there has nowhere else to go.
Has anyone experienced a bug like this before? Or could it be a problem with the map?

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I've seen it in some SP games. It's really frustrating.
I think it does have something to do with locations on a map. In my SP games movement would be normal all over the place, but I just wouldn't be able to get one army to move from one prov to another.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

That's quite odd, i have not seen that one before. My guess is that the provinces are not really connected despite what the neighbor arrow says.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I set the hosting interval to 48h. Is there interest in setin it back to 24h afterwards?

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I started a single player on the same map and there was no problem. I will try to make the move with a diferent commander ,maybe that will help.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I would vote for going back to 24h. Then again I probably have less to do than some nations.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I propose to stay on at 24h clock until the turn 30.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

24 hour clock is fine with me

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

The vile beasts of Saurmatia, though they have killed many valiant Emorians, they have not crushed our spirit yet! Our citizens shall fight until the very last! Even now we have managed to nearly annihilate half of one of his bless armies, and we know that it is not easily replaceable. Onward to victory! for the Republic and the Sacred Shroud of the Prophet!

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Dang it. I staled for the thrid time this game. Each otime I had done my tturn and I thought I had sent it to the llama server.
