Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I think every single province in the game got attaacked by it. It looks like it anyways.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I have a few provinces it missed. But some of my provinces were attacked multiple times, up to 5 times. lol.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

It had so many attacks that I frequently only saw two battles in a province (when hitting 'v') but there were clearly later battles that my forces lost. I haven't played a game with Utterdark up this long... is this normal? It is definitely funny. Can someone please go kick the crap out of Shinuyama's last fortress?

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I'm wondering if our turn is delayed because we are getting exponentially more attacks from Utterdark every month, and last month we had so many (almost every province, more than two attacks/province) that the game couldn't even show them all to us after the fact. So to the other games in progress, sorry if we broke llamaserver! If it's not dead this turn and is just taking some time then sorry in advance for next month!

Lol, good job Juffos, but did you have to extend your wrath to the entire llama server?

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Whoa, I just got this from llamabeast:

Hi. On trying to host Abandon just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again.

I hope you manage to get the game back on course, whichever option you go for.

DAMMIT JUFFOS

I'm good with whatever Pythium, Man, and Bandar want to do. We might want to dispel Utterdark at some point since it's actually blowing up Dominions 3... the last turn that actually managed to host was pretty buggy (in terms of many battles not being seen, I'm guessing because my message buffer couldn't handle them all) and I'm guessing this one might also crash, but I guess we'll see.

It might be good to not spend a huge amount of time on a redone turn that might just crash the server again...

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

If it crashes again we should probably call the game broken and end it.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Can I have a 24 hour extension on this turn? I am in Alaska on business and haven't had a chance to do the turn yet. I have Dom3 on a USB stick, but won't be able to get it in before the midnight EST deadline (the time difference messed me up on the last one, sorry for the stale). Thanks!

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Is everyone still enjoying this game? Is Shinuyama about to die so that we can get rid of Utterdark and stop the ridiculous amount of shadow attacks? Can we cooperate to dispel it?

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I am loving the experience all of my thugs gains. Send out a warden with eye shield/bracer defense/star of thralldom and 2 turns later he has 4 stars. lol.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Does any one else want to call an end to the game? The buggy utterdark keeps shutting the server down whenever this game hosts.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I'm just here as a sub, and yeah the Utterdark bug makes it annoying to even try to play. We could always end it like we ended Mists of Time... wishing for a death match tournament, winner take all! Just a thought...

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Well ok, sounds good to me. Just need Graeme Dice and Juffos to agree to the tournament and I will wish one up.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

ok, this turn I am wishing for a tournament. Winner takes all! Anything goes. I dont really stand a chance since I went military power over the research so I missed out on all the good artifacts. Oh well, prepare your champions!

I will also send an ingame messege to everyone noting them of our intentions. I figure if Man, Bandar log, Ulm and Pythium all agree, we are the majority. Or maybe Shin and Marig are not reading the forums i dunno.

Also, I was loving the buggy utterdark and had no intentions of shutting it down. But I feel bad for taking advantage of something that was so bugged. I have a good amount of death income (from Ctiss holdings) and a simple bane with a shroud and a bracer (less than 10 gems) was able to hold my provinces(The shroud gave em regen, armor of 23 and MR 18, not to mention gift of health).

Enough rambling, let the best champion win!

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

So, the artifact laden Prince of death from Ulm wins the tournie. Congrats.

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

I wonder what would have happened if I had went up against Pythium's massive air elemental barrage in the first round. I was paranoid about Man sending his S9 pretender and getting a mind duel off against my S5 pretender. I was surprised not to see more undead commanders in the mix due to Utterdark. Good game!

Re: Restart on MA Abandoned Game - Started

Good job Stretch, way to make Stew_Pidaso shine :)
