Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Looking in the Manual has Eye Shield special properties as "May Lose an Eye."

As the Manual is generally clearer and doesn't include Fluff like in game descriptions, and given Caerun has hinted that he has some sort of luck enhancer on his Cyclops, its more than likely just the roll of the dice.

I also have a sneaking feeling that it might be possible that Regeneration cures afflictions? Although I'm not sure that this happens during battles.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Okay, Although I don't know why the Baal charged into combat. Battles are supposed to end at the 50th turn and the bolo says it has 50 rounds of ammo. He was not hasted, quickened, in any manner. I'm so confused. Anyway game on. I'm having a terrible day today, you know one of those where everything breaks, malfunctions, spontaneously combusts, ect... I'm gonna :hide: for the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. :D

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Regeneration does not cure afflictions, it reduces the chance to get them though. And I think high MR units can resist the shield effect most of the time. Combine that with lucky (½ chance for anything bad to hit, not sure if it applies to this though) and regeneration - well, not much use for an eye shield against that.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Due to a business emergency I will be gone for the next few months. I suggest you set my position to AI. Game on.:D

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Hinnom set to AI. Hope everything works out OK Bwaha.

On a related note thats two in the last two turns have gone AI, and their both above me in the score tables. Maybe I should take the hint :(.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

The hint would be "start killing people other than your own," in case you're thinking of a different one.

Just look at me for an example. :) From my tiny corner of the world I'm now well on my way to eating up a nice chunk of Hinnom, thanks to Bwaha's real life misfortunes.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

This game is going more and more to Sauromatias favor... Has anyone seen tartarians yet?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Thanks to the heartless deans of my university, I'm gonna have 7 finals in 8 days, so I'm retiring from all my games, setting myself to AI. I'm really sorry people :(

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Wow, Maverni, I must tip my hat to you for bringing what you did to the table at that epic battle. I know I'm a noob, but I have yet to see such a large battle involving so many conventional units in a game of DOM3. I think it wasn't your tactics that let you down...just your choice of enemy :)

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Thanks Deadnature, it's been a positive pleasure to be burnt to the ground by you, but I think you being overly polite about my tactics.

In hindsight I'd divide them into 3 phases:

My Invasion: Completly Retarded - My druids were lavishly kitted out to be invulnerable to missile fire whilst my army had no protection against fire. Against Abysia, who has no archers and a lot of fire.

The Suicide Earthquakes: Retarded but necessary - An attempt to
wipe out your mages at the cost of all of mine, I think I got about half of them? Whilst your army did stop for the time it took me to build that enormous horde you just wiped out I dont know if this was to bring up fresh mages or just general consolidation.

Last Stand: Fine in Conception, Retarded in execution - The absolute key to this fight was slapping a soul matrix(?) on the Thunderbird so he could join the communion and cast Warriors of Musphelheim in the second turn. I thought the communion was large enough to make this possible but considering the damn pretentious Heron cast Fire Fend instead I guess its back to the Communions guide. My friend Hindsight watched the battle and was like,

"Why not just have all those Druids off teleport raiding here, have a massive communion because you knew it was dodgy, and once the Communion has started have a garanteed Warriors of Musphelheim before laying down an absolutely massive Gifts of Heaven barrage? You could have had a dozen druids spamming that stuff?" Needless to say I slapped him and booted him out the door.

As for your Abysians, who I'm informed played a small part in my downfall, the amount of firepower (pun intended) you brought to bear was pretty amazing, and would have been great fun to watch if it hadn't been aimed at me. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go barricade some doors.

tl : dr version - Waahhhh! Waahhhh! I lost and its not fair!

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Attention readers: I've got 2 or 3 turns left maximum, obviously I'll admin as long as it's needed, even after I've been wiped out, but if anyone wants to volunteer to take over it would be appreciated.

Volunteer in this thread or PM me and I'll send you the pass word.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

I can´t play more,my father is hospital.Put me in AI please

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Sorry to here about your father Majuva. I'll set you to AI.

All the best.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Tempting as it was to continue with my single watery province and enact a B movie style 'Revenge of the Fishmen' I decided to switch to AI.

Good game everyone, and all the best in your future efforts to burn things down Deadnature (They've certainly been vey effective so far!).

I'll keep checking this thread until the game gets a new admin (Hint Hint).

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

great game, RB...to be honest, I've played a couple of games as EA Abysia and this was my most successful conflagration to date.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

What sort of Christmas Break do you guys want?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Well I postponed the game i was admining until 3rd of jan, but kept the quickhosting on. I guess we should do the same?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Ok, the final war with Sauromatia is on! Anyone who wants to help Abysia in this struggle is welcome!

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Allright, llamaserver shows as Abysia gone to AI, should we just declare sauromatia winner and be done with it? I've been missing some of my turns and to be honest, my dominion was my doom ages ago. I do think I could stand a chance but actually without much going on, many players going AI and Sauromatia having most elemental royalty and tartarians, it'd be a rollover unless I could somehow come up with a counter to everything he's throwing at me (I know, petrify is a good bet). But I haven't enjoyed this game in ages. What do you two say?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

I suppose i could accept myself as victor and I guess arco might agree after last turn. He lost about 400 units including his SC pretender and 3 fully equipped golems.

I guess the main problem with the game was that you (Agartha) didn't attack me earlier while I was distracted elsewhere. As late as when Abysia attacked me might have worked well.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

I know, I've been standing passively by while people just've been going AI. I did try to get people to work against you at one point, but people were more or less "Well let me finish this war first, shouldn't take more than 20 turns or so". With better scales I could've probably made a big difference more early... But you've had mothe oak and well of misery up for a many many many turns. And to be honest, I don't have much use for maelstrom. And the other globals, except for earth well those others are there just to eat up slots.

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Hey, those losses were all part of the great plan.

Seriously.

Oh, and Cae is used to the dying, he's done it before. 's no biggie.

Plus I've still got stuff to throw at the war here. Like, y'know, the kitchen sink. Not that it'll help of course. From what I've seen, I'd guess Sauromatia has some anti-anti-anti-kitchen sink tools in a back pocket somewhere..

But yeah, I don't mind conceding it, it's a simple case of numbers at this point for me. I mean, I've never even had more than 3 castles this whole game, and the third of those I only set up after Hinnom fell. I could keep fighting for a few more turns I suppose, doing all kinds of nasty little things but it apparently wouldn't make much of a difference in the big picture. Gotta admit I've been rather passive over the past month and a half or so, as well.

Would that mean that the tiny un-noticed corner of the world known as Arcoscephale finishes third, though?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Probably yes, by just persisting. We should set this game finished then.

1. Sauromatia
2. Agartha
3. Arcoscephale

I guess. But in the end only the first place matters, congratulations :)

Now, whoever has the admin controls...?

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 

Okay, Game Finished.

Congratulations Isokron.
