Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

When I get home tonight I'll go through my old turn files and confirm how long it took for me to get restless about the kraken province. It is possible that I am mis-remembering how long it had remained neutral because there have been a few lengthy delays between turns.

That said, I didn't hustle into the province knowing you were trying to reclaim it. I was completely unaware of your mind hunt attempts, or any other attempts of yours to retake the province. My teleport was completely independent of your mind hunt and the fact that they collided was utterly accidental.

Me taking a now-neutral province that used to be yours might be considered rude, depending on factors such as how long it had remained neutral. As such, I confess I might, MIGHT, have done something rude (I will confirm the timing later tonight). However, the letter of our NAP is that neither party would invade nor cast spells (anonymous or otherwise) at provinces owned by the other party. You didn't own that province when I cast a remote spell (teleport) nor when I invaded it. Our pact remains unbroken.

Whether or not you feel like one water province of dubious claim is worth ending our NAP over is up to you. Personally I'm not scared and I assume you have bigger fish to fry than little ol' T'ien Ch'i. But if you want to give us nothing better to do than screw with you than so be it. We aren't going to win this game anyway so bring it on, Druid Boy... a war with us would cost WAAAAY more than we're worth, especially to someone who is already big and powerful.

Concerning your other water province, don't worry we won't interfere with your reclaiming it.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Ok, we still have NAP, though your actions was on a border of breaching our pact

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

The nations of Fomoria thanks the host for the timely extension!

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

NP, i am going to change the hosting interval to 52h.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Well, that'll do it for Mictlan.

I've fought it down to the point that there really isn't enough left to even try to be creative with, so I'm going to turn it over to AI for the last couple turns until Formoria gets around to siegeing that last fort.

Good game y'all and see ya around.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Thanks to Six for sticking it out! You certainly were creative with what you had, and at one point fought of an assault on Mictlan.

Cheers,

Mightypeon

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Good game and good fight six, certainly you made it as hard as possible :)

With respect

Druids

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Any plans to make the turns a little more lax through the holiday weekend? Finding it difficult to prepare for thanksgiving and get my turn in

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Done

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Okay I am confused. Are there ant mods on the server other than Cbm 1.92?

I cannot view one of my battles from this turn since the game keeps crashing with a foreign language error message referencing a file it cannot load named firebird.

Consequently, I can scout a unit named Firebird that probably partook in the battle.

Can anybody figure out why this is?

Did the Cbm makers change the firebird file without changing the version number? Perhaps I have an older or newer version of 1.92??

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I had the same problem, your version of CBM lacks some creatures and heroes sprites, download the latest version, and if the problem persist download the latest version of EDM and Worthy Heroes(that shold be included in CBM 1.92). That fixed my problem.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Okay, that did the trick Morla - was able to view the battle now, and what a battle it was!

Awesome fight Ditoloco! That was an exciting battle to watch all the way through! Massive clash of forces which makes this game fun :D

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Looks like I missed something while staling -.- _:)

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Yes. You missed another healthy dose of roasted boar, although this one would have been less tasty as it was decaying and had rigor mortis setting in. There were also plenty of Inedible undead squashed by heavenly gifts.

We had about 50 mages and 200 troops on both sides of the battle.

It was epic.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I will need a 12 hour extension (heavy work + me getting ill).

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

OK, extension granted.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Well, i was not so excited about a battle since i lost :)))
i still have to watch it carefully, i have feeling that my communion did not entirely worked as i wanted, but communions generally never do :)

Truly epic indeed

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I seem to be unable of sending my turns.
Perhaps a delay until llamaserver ceases its borkiness?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I am having right now a very hard time and i am forced also to ask for extension. It would be great if we move deadline to Monday b/c also this weekend is very crazy for me.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

It appears that a single Maverni going offscript and casting Communion master while beeing offscript reduced mavernis artillery output by about 50%.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

How did you come to that conclusion?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

A mage with a fairly early turn order casted communion master in turn 4 I believe, if I remember correctly before many of the communion slaves, who then ceased to cast themselfs. This noticably reduced the number of rocks falling down.
He then proceeded to cast other random staff that prevented the comminion slaves from blowing up things as intended.
I am not entirely sure wether this would have made a difference though. I am also quite certain that the Firebird and its solar brilliance hurt Maverni more than Agartha, especially since Agartha put up AntiMagic, and thus had superior MR.
Imho, the AI should never cast communions by itself.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I had the impression that he wasn't trying to do a reverse communion as he probably would have blown all their fatigue before I was within the range that the gifts start being more accurate.

But, I think you know more about communions than me so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt Mighty.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Well, he had Druids as Communion slaves, which would be a bit innefficient of them. Also, in the initial communion, the communion master spells all came last. Two things that greatly indicate a reverse communion attempt.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Hi all, i will postpone the game 12h more, for marvernis sake. At this stage of the game i will try to avoid, if i am not asleep, stale turns from any nation. Hope this helps.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Last extension 6h, just for the Madrid-Barcelona. I think we waited long enough.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

While I hope to not need it, I'd like to request an extra 24 hour extension now. This weekend was entirely eaten up by family obligations and I was utterly unable to deal with the volume of turns I need to look at as well as diplomatic dealings I need to be cognizant of. I'm going to try and spend tomorrow evening getting all caught up but that may not be possible (yet more stuff going on) so 24 hours of breathing room would ensure no stall or half-baked turn gets submitted.

Thanks.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Done.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

What do you think think about a pause for christmas?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Might be a good idea. Perhaps turn off the turn timer and leave the quickhost on?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

@Excist
Brilliant!

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Brilliant, i will try to do that.

But how?

Well, hosting changed to 240h

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

@Morla:
Brilliant!

on another note, has ditoloco completely quit without notice? I was having fun stomping his forces and then he has seemed to completely disappear for several months (stales 5 months running despite delaying almost a week for him)

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

So, a new year... looking over it I can tell I no longer have the time needed to maintain my current glut of Dom3 games. Both work and home concerns are making it increasingly hard for me to keep pace with these games, resulting in delays, poor plays or (in a few rare cases) stalls. So, I'm going to try and find subs for me in almost all of my current games (I'm only staying in two that are either very close to a conclusion or are very low maintenance).

Sorry for the withdraw but I don't have the time to spare and my half-assing several games won't do anyone any good.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

OH, we will work this out.

I will come back januray 4th.

Let´s hope we find a sub.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Ok, shatner found a sub "Rejakor".

When he takes over Tien chi, i will resume this game.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Hey guys, i'm shatner's sub for this game, looking forward to gaming with you all. :)

I'm definitely planning on continuing in the current theme, so you can expect a largely unchanged T'ien Ch'i, practicing The Way, and generally chilling out being a cool dude.

I'm sure i'll get to know you all through the game, but i'll just state here that I haven't played in a big MP game yet - this, and the other Morla that i'm subbing for Shatner in, are my first. So, let's make it awesome, eh?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Beate Uhse wishes you luck, and merrily informs you of Fomorias excellent beaches.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

HI, i will continue extending the game till T'ien Ch'i sends his turn, i will send mine after all had submited their turns, except marverni, what happened to ditoloco he was in a strong position?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

He lost 1 major battle annd then seemed to have disappeared. Perhaps turn him ai?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Hi, I would like an extension for 12 hours if possible.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

it´s possible, i extended the game 24h just in case.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I'm away from my pc tonight and don't think I can get my turn in today.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

K, i extended the game 24h, just in case.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Can we have a check as to who is how interested in this game? I am currently seeking to reduce my dominions 3 load a bit, and I think I am in wait... 5 games in total, and in the mid-late game in 4 of those.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

I am having the same issue. And my interest in this game is decaying a little bit, what the rest of you thinks?

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Well, I have mixed feelings because I was having tons of fun in this game as I had the biggest come-back play in any game I've been in. But, that was spoiled somewhat when the Marverni player just disappeared without a sub or going AI and being at peace with everybody else...

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

If any of my neighbours is willing, I would like to do a "Full scale battle" (like, all of my stuff vs all stuff of somebody else) somewhere.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Aw.

This position was really interesting. Not that I was doing the diplomaticking that I should have been to keep it alive.

Too busy moving little men and spending gems.

Honestly I was looking forward to the massive endgame free for all that looked to be about to commence. And now I don't get to unveil any of the nasty little surprises I had planned. sigh.

Re: new NoooB Game, (Running)
 

Rejakor, we can totally throw all of our stuff at each other.
