By the way, if anyone needs barrels of air to strike against R'lyeh, I could supply them. I would use them myself, but my main force are archers.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I'm going to be (even) less active for the foreseeable future, as university ramps up. You wont see any of my turns stale, but I'll probably be a lot slower in sending them in.

Also, Olm, I'll take any items, gems, or gold, as long as they're free :)

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I did not talk of giving away provinces.
Do I have to take your attack on Dhara as a declaration of war?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I am sad to announce that from now on the Nations of Man and Ulm are at war.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

<----- Points out that the peaceful people of Arcoscephale want nothing but peace.

Also, well done against Bogus :)

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Thank you. It was easier than I thought. mechanical men and lightning bolts seem to be all thats necessary.

The LSD is proud to announce the start of the operation Frogicide, aimed at derylehization of the world's sea, rivers and oceans. Our sanitation squad Alpha has met negligible resistance so far - two confused, frightened frogs and something resembling an oversized newt.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Beware, Kamamura, the worm of R'lyeh has risen again!

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Looks like I have stalled a turn. Oh ... well. You could have given a bit more time, because this weekend I was moving to a new flat and it was chaos (I wrote about it in the other thread). But the problem is I thought the deadline was a day later, and it was in fact the same time as the Elementalists game.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I will be out of town next week, and I am not having any luck with finding a sub for this game. I leave on Sunday. If no one steps in, the game will need to be put on hold for a week. I should probably be able to get in the current turn and the next turn before leaving.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I postponed until next Sunday.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Kamamura is unable to continue playing, so I need to find a sub for Jomon. I am also going to be out of town most of next week. I will begin looking for a sub and put the game on hold.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I have not gotten any responses to my requests for a sub. One option, to get things moving again, would be to set Man AI and let him take over Jomon. Would you like to do this, Olm? Would anyone object?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I thought about that myself, but I just don't have the time to do it.
When my extermination in this game was obvious I started a new one. So I have 2 games running plus this one (still). And I just don't have the time to do more.
I will continue this one until utter extermination (turns are rather quick atm) but I cannot take a large nation like Jomon, as much as I would like to.
I am sorry.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Well i am the new Jomon. Hope i can make this game fun.

Arco, Ryleh, and Man, could you send me a pm telling me our diplo situation?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Is tratorix still around? my turn is in, just waiting on ulm

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Oh sorry, didn't realize I hadn't sent my turn in. I'd kind of forgotten about this game. I'll send it in when I get home.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Louist, are you out there?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Its generally considered bad form when the admin lets the person he is at war with stale out and die without fighting back.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

It was unintentional. I normally do a better job of keeping up. I got pulled away from the computer when I was doing my Dom 3 stuff, and I forgot to postpone.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

No word from Louist. I guess I will begin hunting a sub.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

If traitorix could check his pm's that would be appriciated

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I may be willing to sub in for acro, but I want to have a look at the situation first.

Cheers,

Mightypeon

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Turn sent.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Turn sent, the situation looks quite salavagable, I have to say I subbed in for worse situations ;)

I understand I am at war with Ryleth, Jomon is at war with Ulm, and Man I have no clue about?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Jomon is also at war with Rlyeh. Man (thats me) is dead, but refuses to accept it. For what its worth I am at war with Rlyeh and Ulm and distribute my few gems between Jomon and arco.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Yes. That is a fair assessment of the situation. I think it is still anybody's game (except for Man).

Thanks for subbing.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Oops. Sorry guys, kind of forgot about this game after it slowed to a crawl. I'll have my turn in soonish.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

and check your pm's too btw

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Could a holidy extension be considered?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

No problem.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

If anyone is having trouble getting a turn in by the deadline, please send me a PM. I do not mind extending turns as needed.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Ill do that the next time ;)

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Sorry, first stale in my very last turn.
Finally got Domkilled.
Will post a brief AAR when I have time (after Thursday).

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Are you still with us, Jomon?

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Yeah, sorry about the stales. busy times

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

It is alright. I just wanted to catch it before a third. I have been pretty busy myself, and I have not been able to watch the server like I used to do.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

We all seem to be having trouble getting turns in on time. Half of us are subs. Do you guys have a strong interest in seeing this game finished? I have not been staling, but quite a few of my recent turns have been thrown together in a less than 10 minutes. I am in the process of moving, cleaning, and unpacking, which has cut into my free time even more.

If you guys really want to finish, I will stick with it. On the other hand, if there is a general lack of interest, I see no reason to drag things out.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I have been losing motivation for this game i admit. Jomon really should win this game, but i havent been doing this game justice to accomplish that in any kind of a timley manner. I'm all for quitting, but i wont quit if no one else wants to

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I dont really care much about this game too.
Fighting Ryleth is a pain in the rear end, but they arent exactly making progress on me either.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I wont get that turn in in time I guess.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Given everybody's replies, I think I will end the game. I will extend 24 hours for Ulm to reply. If he does not, I will declare it finished.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Finished. And Swedished! :)

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

you should let the turn host though so i can see if my communion works the way i wanted it to

:)

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

I will not end it before the turn hosts.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Its a bit sad, that my first MP game ends like that, I think it would have deserved a proper winner.

Well before everyone looses interest, I want to give a very short AAR of Man's failure:

Its been a long time since, and I cannot remember everything, but I'll do my best.

I chose a sleeping rainbow pretender with good Order and Growth.
My starting point was 8. A good defensible position, but unfortunately only against land nations.
The game started out very (very, very) poorly. I lost my Prophet in the first fight to a stray arrow from some horsetribe cavallery. Half of my starting army also perished.
I tried a dozen similar fights in testgames, loosing none, often winning without loosing one unit! But here it was a total loss.
So I has a slow start and soon found out that R'lyeh was my neighbor to the east. So no Pretender, no Prophet and R'lyeh spreading his deadly Dominion with probably dom 10.
I had to put much more money in temples and priests, than I wanted.
Going north I found an Inkpod End in the woods :-(
When I arrived at the cruciual province 24 R'lyeh had already crossed it with his Worm into the western sea, so now it was R'lyeh Dominion from two sides.
At some time the Worm (unequipped) attacked me, but it turned out longbowmen are great against him and he fled.
I had to cut through 24, otherwise the game would have been over then.
I managed to do it, and after some dispute with Ulm I managed to establish something of a defensible position with 24, 29, 31, 37 and 44. Even with building many temples and priests I had enough money to build quite some forts, so the position was not bad.
Then I attacked 49, as nobody else took it.
I got greedy as I saw the nation north of there (don't remember which it was) being very weak and hard pressed by Jomon, so I marched northward. That was the biggest mistake. I managed to capture some provinces with minimal losses, but just when my army reached the northern end of the map, R'lyeh attacked in the south.
My army started to march south, but was months away.
Bogus came to my help, killing the R'lyeh worm, who was sieging my home
, but it did not help much.
Perhaps I could have had a chance, as yeh had also other enemies, but I had annoyed Ulm with my nooby mistakes (using scouts to ferry troops and then "sneak" them into his territory without unloading the troops. That happened twice. And once I just confused the images of a scout and my mercenary commander). I can not blame him. I was annoying and weak. So he attacked me and split my nation. From the on it was dying a slow death. I had some minor victories but I went down fast.
In the end, after my Pretender died in sight of the Towers of Chelms, I gave everything to Jomon to continue the fight against Ulm and R'lyeh (which he did splendidly, as long as I was able to observe) and pestered Ulm with two Lord Wardens and a mercenary band. I managed to take 2-3 provinces from him and that was what was left of Mans hopes when the last white candle died.

As mentioned previously I had fun, although I must admit I like the MA much more and fighting R'lyeh is a pain.

If its worth for anything: I'd vote for Jomon as winner.

CU in other games.

Re: "Relaxed Pace" Late Age Game
 

Please kill it, this game has been crippled for a while now. :( Either Ry'leh or Jomon are probably in the best position to win, but I honestly can't muster up any enthusiasm for this right now.
