fair enough. It always sucks to get rushed successfully.

Hope to see you in another game in the future...

So, who killed the Gorgonian Icecream Factory the first time?

A crossbow bolt from an indie that one shotted it on the first turn severely gimping my expansion.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

So I'd better sort this out sooner rather than later. I'm not going to be in the game that much longer. My war with Pythium was going well when our neutral neighbor decided to invade me from left field.

this means we are going to need to change who is admining this game. since I can't really admin a game I'm no longer in.

we won't need to migrate the thread again since this isn't my only game and I'm not planning to leave the forum, so if you ever need the first post changed I'm just a PM away.

so, anyone volunteer? if we get no takers I will try to conscript mcsfish, since he's the cheeky basterd who attacked me. :P

I've got a few turns yet, so we'll be fine for a while.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

you're still in the game, don't give up before it's actually over... once we get to the bridge(you eventually dying) we'll cross it, until than there's no point discussing it.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

fair enough. but mull over if you'd be up for it, folks...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

If you take over the Rock the Cradle, I would take this one over.
Hope I wont get crushed as soon as I take over the Admin role.
Seems like the one goes with the other.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Sounds like a plan Korwin, just PM'd you.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

can we have a short extension on the timer i havent been able to get to get to a comp with dom3 on it today. 12hr would do

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

extension granted

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Cheers turn is sent.
Fighting ermor is very annoying. Killing 400 of 500 troops and still losing a battle sucks.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Pay reperations and we, Ermor of Bob migth let you live.
Alternatly We could see some sort of Tribute from you to us.

Bob the eternal softy, who will foregive his enemies, if they pay enough..

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Well you know, I could help you. If only I had some supply items. Doesn't anyone have supply items? I'd pay well for them. Currently I am forced to attack Ermor using armies composed mostly of priests and a few blockers. Thats not sustainable.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Well I may have forgotten to mention that I had another bigger army on the way with even more tramplers and priests. We shall see how this one fares.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

T'ien chi stalled... :(

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

did he stall again?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

yup that's two stalls in a row for Tein. what do people suggest?

I'll let korwin assess this one, since I'm literally two turns away from throwing in the towel by this point. if he doesn't chime in by around 6pm tomorrow I'll do the nessessary admining.

NB that Tein is at war with Jomon, and doesn't seem to be doing too well. probably not helped by the stalls.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

I guess I should chime in, I've been fighting him and winning pretty clearly, although that has a lot to do with the fact that he has stalled his last two turns. He is in no way beaten though, still got all his mages, although his position is getting worse and worse for every turn.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Well I did the same thing i did with Atlantis, and checked his previous posts. It would seem that -not counting his signup post in the old thread- he has not made a single post to the forum for the last year. And the last game he played in also ended a year ago. It is possible that he has simply lost interest in the game and its community.

How bad IS his situation anyhow? Could maybe Utgård or Jomon chime in on the situation?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Or, if he doesn't want to play anymore, could Colonial take over his kingdom?

Maybe give Colonial a turn or two to get back on his feet some.....

Or (!) Colonial could come help me manage these feisty maenads. *wink wink nudge nudge*

I mean after a few gallons of wine things get pretty crazy over here in Pangaea....

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

we must pause the game until we know what's up with TC. we can't just let him stale away.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

As Neil Young said in his song "Hey, Hey, My, My..." :

"It's better to burn out than it is to stale"

;P

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Ugh. My last turn was actually a stale turn also. I just didn't find the time to finish my turn, and the deadline snuck up on me. Holidays and all that.

I'm still here, though, so don't worry.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Well, this is only from the Jomon side of the war, but he hasn't lost anything significant just yet, only territory, but he seems outnumbered. He does however have all his mages, and they seem to have decent magic, so he is in no way finished off. However, Atlantis and Patala are fighting him as well, so it's definetly going to be tough.

I agree that we can't just let him chain stall, it might help my situation, but i'd rather have a fun fight.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Sent an Message per the llamaserver to t'ien Chi.
I'll extend the turn if He doesnt show up.

(stupid iPhone writes Random words in Capital letters)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Utgard will not attack Tien Chi for the next 2 turns then.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

all right, I recomment we give tien chi one more turn before taking action. after three stales, we'll be entitled to sub the position. I'll have to think about taking it on myself. I have some experience with EA TC, so i wouldn;t be completelyu thrown in the deep end. the prospect of loosing 2 wars in a row on the same map isn't particularly something to look forward to...

in the mean time its great of utgard to give them a turn's breathing room. if their other enemies, particularly jomon could also pledge to not push the attack this turn, that would be ideal

any chance Jomon?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

there's no point letting TC stale a 3rd time, it'll only make the position that much worse for whoever subs into it, seeing that he's in a multi fronted war already. we really should freeze the game until we either hear from the TC player or sub someone in for him.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

fair enough.

game postponed for 24 hours. If we haven't found a sub in that time, I'll take over for a while.

and I can't be arsed to actually look for a sub. anyone up for it?

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

I wont be taking any new territory this turn, that's fine, would you need another turn to get to grips with things or what? What should I do with the fort I've been sieging by the way, seems annoying to pull back and let it rebuild, but I don't really care one way or the other.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

don't bother pulling back, just don't storm...

and sub requested (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...455#post766455)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

found a sub. seems the only problem is that he is away from 24-27 of december. is that ok with everyone? i could sub a single turn during that period easily enough. I'll give him the post later today if there are no objections...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Ti'en Ch'i subbed. I'll play one turn for him on christmas if it comes to it.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

i have joined and found into the game....played my turn.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Second Year
 

Good

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Altantis staled last turn...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

You don't know this being new, but Atlantis is cursed. Its just something we all will have to live with.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Bob who is immortal Ermor greets his new neighbors and we would like to thank Phythium for the donation of this tasty province.

Was a little out of the blue but if somebody would like to make an donation to us, we do take them.


Bob the immoral, the eternal, ruler of Ermor

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

so why does LA Ermor sometimes randomly aquire territory in the far reaches of the globe? I've seen it happen in single player as well...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

sorry but the Serpents give no donations. congratulations, you've just made yourself another enemy, as if you didn't have enough already... not much I can do to harm you, as you're too far away from me and almost dead anyway, but I'll at least retake the province you stole from me with your remote spell.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

I always thought that it was an ermorian version of Imprint soul. But that does not explain why he would attack pythium...

The wiki say nothing about this.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

@Korwin - Props to you on your 'Bob' personae. Very amusing and witty; I always enjoy his commentary. :)

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Just a quick FYI to everyone. If LA Ermor are in the game, then there is a random event all nations (except LA Ermor) can get that causes Ermorian cultists to attack a province. I'm guessing this is the 'attack' / 'random gaining of province' thing being talked about. (note I don't think this event applies to an all era game, as the event appears to be late era only)

You can blame LA Ermor if you wish for these attacks, but they are not really at fault (unless you consider actually existing as a fault) as there is nothing they can do about it, and it is certainly not a remote attack spell they can cast. The event is actually being triggered by the scales of the player who is getting attacked. So if a player wants to blame someone for these LA Ermor attacks, then they can usually blame their own scales for them :)


You can see the event here in Edi's event list. It is #253.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

well, don't have enough experience playing in games with LA Ermor, as I don't play LA too much and even when I do their usually banned, not to mention that I usually have more than dom5. oh well, Ermor is almost dead anyway, so it doesn't really matter...

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Ermor is immortal! Undead yes, but not dead!
We have some guests in our lands.
Nothing more.

Bob the still immortal.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

The game will host in one hour and Atlantis is set to stall yet again. Will we need a second sub for Atlantis you think? Because this is getting annoying. My first MP game went for 34 turns without anyone stalling. This one did not make it a single turn.........

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Atlantis came through, I am glad to announce.

Re: Last Rites - First Blood! - Third Year
 

Hi there!

Today is the last day i can play before christmas. I will come back on 27 dec so then i can play again. So i am not sure i f one played turn is sufficient?
