It's the AI I tells you! :0

I've stabilized the front I've had with Pangaea. No more chasing Maenads and Manikins throughout my lands. I'm still getting crazily outnumbered, but my magic is working out well (Thaum!).

And let's see if we can't get one more turn in before I'm off to JHUMUNC, shall we? :p

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Well, I'm off. Can you turn off autohost, so the turns don't end too soon? I can probably send in the turns 2ish hours before the Friday-Sunday turn hosts.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

well that was a reminder that this sure as hell isn't the comp I'm playing against... Hard to see how a non-air nation would deal with that many flaming arrows.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Well my screwup or whatever it was at my capitol was irreversable, so I'm hanging it up. Losing 5+ turns of recruiting cap only mages is pretty bad. No one to blame but me though, should have caught it earlier.

Sauro can battle Marverni to see who gets more of me.

Thanks to Yomi for the help, I sent you a care package, hope it helps :)

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

So, could we return to normal turns, after the break?

I have to admit, though, that the holidays came just at the right time.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

What do you mean by normal? Currently turns are 48 hours w/quickhost. This sounds reasonable for turn 35, no?

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I'm out. I have been failing miserably at fighting Yomi effectively, and am now being set upon by Vanheim. I have begun to dread opening my turns. See you all in another game.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

If Mictlan keeps staling, can we set it to AI or get a sub?

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I haven't staled (unwillingly) in five turns when I had computer problems, three turns ago I just had no orders to give.
It has been fairly peaceful in my corner of the world, see my research/gem graph for reference.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

While you're sitting there idle, I'm fighting a devastating war with Pangaea. Life's unfair. :(

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Yup. Opened my mouth too soon. Just seemed like another stale was coming as you submitted your turn pretty close to the timer. :up:

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

OK, I'm officially looking for someone to take over as admin of this game. My work load is on a steep upward climb and I can't really commit to checking in on the game more than once a week. Any takers?

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I'm going to be off for easter after this turn, I would like the game delayed a week when I'll be able to take my next turn.

Usually I play from my laptop when away from home but it got too hot and the motherboard broke, so I'm sol until I get back home.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Oh, and... when/how/why did Vanheim go AI?
As far as I can tell it is the second large nation and it seems a bit disruptive to have it go, I think it should be discussed and explained before we go on.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

His god died, but honestly that should not be a reason to quit.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I couldn't help but laugh when I read the messages and saw that somebody (aka Sauromatia) had rained a bunch of toads on my capital...

1. I haven't recruited any units since the first year.
2. My income hasn't been positive since I put up carrion woods. I don't care if I go from -100 to -300 income per month.
3. The only units there that aren't undead have recuperation.

:angel

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

ROFL.

BTW I am willing to cede the game to Juffos(Yomi). Mictlan does not do a thing, all the artifacts are gone, and I am way too behind in research and not likely to catch up. About the last time I took Drain scales.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

And I've been fighting a ruinous, unending stalemate of a war with Pangaea. At this rate, I predict one of us will win fifteen turns after the game ends.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Should Mictlan attack me, the game will result in Sauromatia's victory.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Hmm, I'm at home again and I noticed Pyg sent me the Admin password.
I'll take over his duties for the time being.

As I missed another couple of turns I'm in an even worse situation compared to you, don't worry about me attacking Juffos ;)

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Sauromatia's victory?

I managed to got beaten by Pangaea nevertheless. Thanks for trusting the guides that one could take Sloth-3 without big consequences.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

And I've got flying Carrion Lord Thugs attacking me, and I can never seem to get my DusttoDusting Helkarls on the right provinces...

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I am withdrawing from the game. I have no counter to the chaff Pangaea is throwing at me, and I am just way behind research.
It was my first MP game, at least I learned a lot.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Pangaea overwhelmed me, as well. Attrition! :(

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Please don't, you still control about 1/4th of the world, have the second highest gem income and less than ten turns behind the leader in research, while ahead of your main foe.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I figured I would delay until I know if you're going out or not P3D, if you are then we should find someone to sub for you.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

Chaff?

You want chaff, go see Mictlan's silly slave armies. My troops are battle hardened elites, the finest troops money can't buy. They say the best way to learn is through mistakes - well, most of my troops have made the mistake of dying, and have returned, emboldened by the experience.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I set myself to AI in the submitted turn.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I dislike the the thought of someone who controls a fourth of the world going AI - when there's four players left.

If you are adamant about leaving, then I'll post looking for a sub.
I have good hopes to find someone.

I have barely seen thirty turns of this game as a friend took over from early march to easter. I'm still set towards seeing the end, no matter how the game goes.

If you others think it's time to drop the game I can understand that, we have had enough dropped players to fill every province on the map with Ai and without a Sub, ~50% of the world will be in AI hands. I still want to make the best of what's left ;)

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

I can understand why P3D went AI... he has literally nothing in the eastern half of his territory. The only (small) speedbump in picking up his provinces has been the remnants of Marvernia AI. And my main armies are in the west. Ouch.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

With this many AIs, this game won't be fun any longer.

I say we end this game in a stalemate, any ideas?

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

The game seems to have fallen apart. 1/3 of the world is AI and Mictlan has 12 stales, including the last 3 turns. It's really a shame, I've been enjoying the fight. I'd like to continue but its hard to see this game having a good ending.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

According to llamaserver, every single player staled last turn. This game has to end.

I have almost 2000 gems in storage, a tartarian factory up and running, an endless supply of recruitable supercombatants, a huge supply of clams, fetishes and blood stones, access to every single magic path, huge armies buffed with will of fates, mass regeneration and army of lead and I am planning to soon fire up the arcane nexus with over 1000 pearls.

I believe I would win this game in the long run. Please do acknowledge my right for ascension, this game is really tiring me up.

Re: Yang: Newbie game EA CoD defaults - Running
 

My situation is pretty similar to yours - bunches of SCs, huge buffed up armies, clams and blood stones, all magic paths, and I've been saving up for a big global of my own (utterdark :D).

I'm willing to concede though. You're stronger and have all the artifacts, and since this would be 1v1 I'd have no chance. I really don't want to play this out any more. Pangaea with carrion woods is worse than Ermor for micromanagement.

If Redeyes ever shows up and agrees that you win we can finally end this. Congrats :up:
