Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Well given your forces, it was quite a miracle that Agartha managed to pull off a victory, regardless of the cost in free spawn shades. The shades regenerate with the Lord of the Gates and next round you'll see the fearsome Agarthan Battle Mage Cadre 2nd Division. ( now is where you should be trembling, hehe)

PS Anyone who neighbors Pythium might want to take advantage of his momentary distraction in steamrolling Agartha. He has at least 13 hydras in and around our lands - the rest of Pyth cannot be that well defended right? If not now, then I wish my neighbors luck when they face the hydra rush alone...

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Exactly, you were lucky that my hyras retreated...

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

As promised Pythium met the Agarthan Battle Mage Cadre 2nd Division. This time 5 of 6 hydras were destroyed, along with Pyth's HoF prophet, and a Serpent Priest. The 6th hydra barely made it off the battlefield. Agarthan casualties were 10 auto-spawned shades.

Admittedly, this battle is wrecking Agartha's economy early in the game when there is plenty of easier fruit to pluck and we'd prefer a ceasefire. Those hydras and priest cost over 1500gp and it could easily happen again next turn. But if Pyth is bent on our destruction so be it - we will do the world a favor and inflict as much damage as we can.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Heh, I forgot to change my Hydras scripting; hold and attack was useless for that battle.

I am bent on your destruction now that you've publicly boasted of your "victories" and tried to get other people to attack me. I might have signed an NAP3 with you after our first encounter, but I read your post about that battle and thought, "is this guy serious?"

.....well now that I think about it, let's give peace a chance :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Hehe, yes, I am rarely serious.

The first battle report was the work of the Agarthan Spin Department - heads will roll for their selective fact disclosure though it was a miracle but hardly a victory. But you can't blame a a ruler for trying to save his nation. I mean, have you ever looked at Agartha's units? Then add hard research, CBM (which nerfs Agartha further), and a hydra rush. What is an aspiring pretender to do? Anyway, we hope for peace as further war will ultimately destroy little Agartha, but probably cost Pythium more than it could get just tapping easier pastures.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

No worries, you do what you need to...via diplomacy or otherwise. I'm doing the same thing diplomacy-wise in another game.

Anyway, long live peace! (at least between Pythium and Agartha)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Hey ... looks like this game was a short one for Patala. A little bad luck and being next to a rush nation cut things a bit short. For those interested, it is looking like either Atlantis or Hinnom shall have a second capitol soon.

I've set myself to AI this turn.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

sorry to hear that - I was wondering who was keeping you down. Better luck next game :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

FW, I feel your pain. There are some aggressive bless rushers in the WoT - not easy for the slow non-bless nations to get off the ground, especially with hard research working against us. Better luck next time!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

I really like Patala, but I need to come up with a better early game strategy. I've tried a couple things, but it is true that they need some space and luck. Once they can get some turf, they can get going.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

50% plague in my cap :O


don't worry, not looking for sympathy ;)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

looking at your score graph i am guessing it must be the result of overpopulation

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Looks like siMagnovox / TC is going to stale the second time in a row and hasn't been on the forums in a week. Might want to look for a sub.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

i think so. he's been at peace, his situation is good, the game is early - perfect for subbing.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Ok I posted to ask for a sub. I'll delay for 24h to get someone

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Really sorry about this but I have gone on holiday and I believed I would have internet access so that I could continue the game and diplomacy. But although I have Dominions and a PC I have no internet access. I won't be back for about another 5 days. Please can the game admin turn me to AI (you will need to change my email address and take my turn - turning it to AI - to do this I think.

I am very sorry about this. I thought I would have internet access (I have before when going on holiday in the same area but the cottage I has gets no signal at all nor do the nearby villages).

Utgard

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

I'm not sure what we should do. We posted to find a sub for TC but to no avail so far.
Tienchi and Utgard are two preeminent nations in our game and it would wreck things to set them AI now IMO.

What do you think all ?
Should we :
- set them AI
- wait for 5 days for Hoplosternum's return and hope to find a sub for Tc in the meantime
- any idea?

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

don't set them AI. As much as I've been enjoying the turns, I'd counsel waiting for utgard to return, and using the time to find a sub for T'ien Chi. hopefully a small hiatus won't cause any more problems.

or find a sub for TC, and let Utgard stale a turn or so... that's no big deal; he's still not in any war afaik.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

I would also wait for Utgard and in the meantime see if we can get a sub for Tien Chi.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

likewise, I'm all for waiting as I have too many games going already :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

The leadership of TC has been overthrown, and a new barbarian King sits on the throne.

Please PM me if you have diplomatic or trade agreements with TC.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Ok vfb you're in and thank you :)
I just changed TC email so if you didn't already receive the turn, just request a new one on llamaserver.

You have until the end of this WE when Hoplosternum/Utgard comes back to send your orders.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Hi everyone,

I am back :)

Thank you very much for waiting :)

Cheers!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

yay, we're back under way :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

The Agarthan Magical Emporium is now open for business. Many wondrous items available for purchase: flaming brands, gleaming shields, and magical skulls that will help you pass your exams. Prices are base cost + 3 gem forging fee. And for those nations wise enough to have peace treaties with the scholars of Agartha, we will waive the forging fee.

Come one, come all, supplies are limited!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

The Eastern Tien Chi Export Company is worried that Agartha may be unable to meet the initial surge of demand for its wares. So, we have decide to assist them by providing an additional supply of manufactured goods to the world.

Price is base cost, for all nations in the land. We are selling most Const-4 items. Our manufacturing base has not yet ramped up to its full operating capabilities, but we are recruiting more and more of our peasants into our factories every month.

Get your orders in early to avoid shipping delays!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

one stale... it's getting around the time when we should move to 48 hr hosting (or, 50 hrs is better, as it helps avoid the precession problem).

I'm fine w/ the current schedule, but the game is certainly about to become more difficult. I'd say as soon as someone asks, we should go to two days.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Oh great I sent my turn just before going to bed and didn't wait for the reply.
The lovable Murphy's law kicked in and my turn never reached Llamaserver or whatever.
As if I needed a stale right now...

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

me too ;)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

yah... that was kinda funny given you two are involved in such heavy fighting and both staled... we can always go to 2 day hosting when you guys feel the need.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Agartha is again under siege and this time shall soon fall. We cancel all our NAPs so that friends and enemies alike might feast on our magic rich lands. Also, we are having a liquidation sale on magic gems and items - we will trade 1:1 our astral pearls for your death gems and sell dwarven hammers for 6 death gems. Goodbye cruel world that sandwiched us between such mean and powerful nations :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

The Tien Chi Artifacts and Goodies Manufacturing Company announces that we are closing our factory for refurbishing and unfortunately cannot process any more orders at the moment.

If you have a pending order with the Tien Chi Artifacts and Goodies Manufacturing Company, rest assured that we will complete the manufacturing of your goods as promised. This only applies to new orders which have not been negotiated yet.

Stay tuned for the grand re-opening, coming soon!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Ok, Gath seems to be on the verge of staling again so I postponed the game by 12h. I also changed hosting interval to 48h from now on.
I hope it'll be enough for Gath since he didn't ask for a delay.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Thanks Kheldron !!! I have a bit of work in home...

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

hey, glad we're back on track :)

but the game's also getting more complex, and has entered the midgame. I'd like to move over to 2-day turns.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

I had already changed it but it seems the server lost it when it reset.
done !

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Demented Tzar of Bogarus, Demetri the Terrible, has seen some terrible omen. Convinced that Tsar Demetri's fate is sealed, he has stepped down and appointed his namesake to be the new Tsar until this ominous conjuction of stars is over.

I am away for vacation, for two weeks. Until then, Dimaz will replace me for this game; his mail is dimazzz80 (at) gmail.com

Please change the email tomorrow - perhaps I will be able to make one more turn this evening. :) Switching to 3-days schedule would be great as well, I'd hate to miss too many turns in this game - I really like it so far.
Have fun!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Mictlan, you have just placed yourself in the way of the Tien Chi Manufacturing Conglomerate, Real Estate Division. We are conducting survey operations in the New East provinces. You would be well advised to remove yourself from our path.

-- Chief Yao, Mergers and Acquisitions

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

The Tien Chi Goods and Items Manufacturing Company has noticed a drastic drop in our sales recently. We did not know why this occurred, so our investigators were dispatched to determine the source of our economic problems. They have reported back that it is the fault of the Jomonese, who have achieved monopoly status.

Tien Chi hereby revokes our NAP with Jomon. It is now turn 38, so hostilities can begin in turn 41.

Jomon has far more lands than any other nation. They have a huge lead in research, forts, income, gem income, dominion, army size, EVERY graph. Not only that, they were first to const-8, and have forged all the useful artifacts. And now, they have cast the Gift of Health. We expect tartarians to begin pouring out of the depths of Jomon hell soon.

So now is the time to strike! Nations of Wheel, put aside your differences. If you cannot make peace with your enemy, then at least seek a ceasefire. You destroy yourselves while Jomon grows bigger and bigger and more powerful.

The Jomon monopoly must be smashed, and the pieces of its empire broken from each other.

Tien Chi has no chance of accomplishing this on our own. We urge all nations to take up their swords against Jomon now, for the hour is late and all our doom is at hand.

-- Prophet Yao of Tien Chi

P.S. Gank Jomon!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

meh, tartarians - that's a bit of a joke at this time isn't it? especially for a non-death nation such as ourselves. GoH was mostly to prevent all the irritating barbarians. I guess T'ien Ch'i could count ;p

while we do seem to have been doing well lately, we are more than happy to distribute the wealth to our friends :)

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Tien Chi is sure your Sceptre of Dark Regency will help you summon some tartarians when you get your research done.

Anyhow, it would be nice if you were prevented from even summoning tartarians, since Jomon really does not even need any. We truly are all doomed if you get tartarians too.

There is no honor or glory in being a vassal state of the Jomon empire. Other pretenders allying with Jomon must be sad to realize they have given up all hope of their own ascension. What is the point, then? Nishida Kitaro, the Lord of Suicides, has robbed you of your hope. One Wa to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.

The allies of Jomon can redeem themselves by swearing off their loyalty to Jomon, and declaring themselves free nations once again.

-- Prophet Yao of Tien Chi

P.S. Don't forget: Gank Jomon!

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Agartha's merry band of rogues are clinging on to dear life trying to wage the final jihad against our unholy conquerors. We hope their conquest has been costly, or at least a nuisance. We only ever wanted to be left alone to forge items for the rest of the world...
:)

PS just for my own understanding of the game, I have bane venom charms in Issus, which is being sieged by Bogarus - are both the siegers and siegees getting diseased I wonder?

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

meh. attacking me becasue i am too large, or because you want what I have, or that I have dealt w/ someone dishonourably, would all be valid reasons. but tartarians? that's absurd - my research is barely past yours, or bogarus's - are you near getting tarts? Let alone that I have no native death magic, and really would need to bootstrap to demi-liches first. Attack me for solid reasons, not bs ones.


don: yeah, those bv's should be getting everyone. they got my scout ;p
It was pretty funny seeing the battle - all of pyth's mages were diseased :D

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

And most of Bogarus army too, thanks Don, hope it's the last turn of "someone is spreading badly deceases in Issus".

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

Powerful empire should have a respective challenge. )
Elders of Caelum break a NAP with Jomon and declare a war since trn 41.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

I'm travelling today, and will have very little chance to work on an extremely difficult turn before host tomorrow. I would like to request a one day extension.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

game postponed for 24h as requested

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

well, first turn of war against the alliance... some good raids at least, but, oh man, what a horrible way to lose such a beautifully kitted out golem

He got crippled. Utgard fled, but had one crippled guy... so the golem slowly and futiley crawls after the fleeing giant, until turn 50 runs out and the golem goes *poof* :(

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

"Tien Chi hereby revokes our NAP with Jomon. It is now turn 38, so hostilities can begin in turn 41."

I always thought that meant that we would wait until turn 41 to give orders to attack. Did everyone start without me?

If so, TC apologizes for our late arrival into the fray.

Re: Wheel of Time - LA CBM Llamaserver - FIGHT !
 

oh god the NAP system is so absurd... if you were to have a zero turn warning, then you're just attacked "out of the blue". A one turn warning, basically says "i'm attacking, you will be hit next turn". so a 1 turn warning on turn 38 would mean attacks could land on turn 39, just as a zero turn warning on turn 38 meant you were attacked right then...

and a 3-turn warning on turn 38 means attacks can land turn 41.

mind you, I would have preferred to have waited another turn :o

I guess that means we should just restart the NAP cancellation timer ;p
