You bastard! This is the turn you decide to stand and fight, is it?

Ah, well. I knew I was taking a big gamble. I also knew I wouldn't survive another round of you rampaging through my lands with me inefectievely chasing you so...

Bugger.

And now I still don't know for sure if I could beat that damned army. :(

9 fiery dragon heads could not stop the glacial advance of the ice. Glacial as in inexorable, not super slow. Though it did feel a bit slower than it should have been. In the battles of Fire and Ice, the flames are sputtering and about to die out.

Well fought, dojango.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Blame not me but rather my general who disobeyed a direct order.

I'd have him drowned in the swamps for that but for his actually gaining me a castle. So he'll get 20 young egg baring age female slaves instead :D

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

The only good demon is a dead demon, growls Fritigern as he sharpens his sword and prepares yet for another campaign -- with the fate of the Ulmish people, and likely the entire world, hanging in the balance.

He reminds himself that you cannot trust man, woman, nor centaur beast.

Steel is the only thing you can trust.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Cold steel.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I'm a need 30 hours on this turn WL.

Oh, yeah,
Molten rock, 1000°C+

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 36 hours. The game will now host at 06:19 GMT on Wednesday July 18th.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Good to have this up and running again. It's been an interesting game so far. Lots of wars :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

And more to come, Dogged! It don't stop!!

I hope we get on a more regular hosting schedule though, I totally forgot what I was doing. Then I remember -- plotting to kill centaurs and demons, got it.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Phew, finally got around to actually watching my turn. (Yes, a bit late, sue me.)

Guess that's it for me, I'm done for. Good game Wraithlord.

The only thing I managed to accomplish was force him to commit a ton of mages to the war effort so his research graph is pretty anemic. Wonder how long that'll last once all those Sauromancers hit the books... (There's about 216RP involved in the battle at my capital. Don't know about anywhere else since I haven't found a single damned scout province all damn game! ;) Not that I'm bitter or anything...

Edit: Also, great timing on that random event siren you stupid RNG. That abo****ely vital air magic sure is going to prove useful now.

Edit2: Hurray for tipos and the word filter working in beautiful conjunction. The word above should have been absolutely, but (after intense study) I'm guessing I typed the o and the s in the wrong order. I'm leaving it in regardless, cause it adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the post. ;)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

So the war has begun.

Crom laughs at your meneads! :happy:

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

The brave Ulm cowers and hides before an onslaught of unarmed naked Pangaea women! Mighty warriors indeed... ;)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Naked chicks are scary, dude.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Thank you Amhazair. You played well and gave me a lot of tough moments. These kind of wars can go either way. I could have just as easily lost a few key battles and with them the war.

EA is known for scarcity of scouts and it is a significant factor.

I did take a hit to research but luckily a few key spells are enough for start to mid game for Ctis.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Maenads + Ironskin. Nice.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Did Pangaea stale last turn?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Yes I did. One minute too late with submitting my turn. Literally.

Ulm, mind providing some insight into what paths you site searched your lands? Perhaps the population in your capital as well? I'm trying to match up my girls here. They heard there's some good lookin' folks in Ulm.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

You heard right! :happy:

Ulm wishes you luck in disciplining our ruggedly handsome, but unruly, population. Sometimes we have this tendency to throw axes and great swords through the spleens of visitors (ask Lanka.. but in his case it would be empty, skeletal ribcages -- somehow still effective). This rule applies even to naked women. Maybe that's why we don't get a whole lot of second dates.. :doh:

Continue your invasion at your own peril. We will never surrender.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Huh, 68 commanders! Didn't really expect that many. Don't you think that's a bit overkill? Well at least the taunting worked. You definitely mustered a force to be reckoned with.
Should have maybe just quaked you like I planned but those mages of your are tough old bastards. Takes at least 4 quakes to do any damage!
Ready for wave two this turn?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Overkill? I think it's just enough kill. Do you think I'm going to be able to research my way out of this? Do you think I'm playing for the long game at this point? It is do or die. :(

I am here to stonewall and undermine your victory so Ctis or Neifelheim can win (Lanka can go to hell where demons belong). Me and every single commander under my authority are absolutely committed to your destruction. Researching is for pussies!! Or, actually, I mean its for people who have a chance to win.

My empire has crumbled, but all that matters is that few stood against many. Many ... many ... naked chicks ... everywhere... :o

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hey!? Where's all that love and respect your enemy stuff?
Pangaea may be Ulm's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy!:)

Heck, I don't usually play to win either, not that I don't try to win of course, but sometimes just it's just much more fun sidelining the win part and killing everything you can. I think WL can testify to that from our former encounters.

Hey, maybe you'll get lucky in the end with those maenads. How ambiguous.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Oh, I do respect you. :)

I am playing to win, it's just I know I don't have much of a chance.

I do love you Executor! *kissy kissy* I must kill whom I love. It's so tragic. :cold:

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Yes. Executor is like this. A force of nature sweeping all in it's path.

Don't change Executor. We all love you :heart::heart::heart::ghug:.
And in this game this usually means we'll go to bloody war with you :fire: :p

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow morning. I have already submited my turn for this turn, and might very well be dead the next one. (Walls are breached and WL already checked out my defences with a scout, while dominion also looks dicey, though I think it'll hold.)

I didn't bother looking for a sub though. If I somehow do not die this turn, everything is set up to continue on in my abscence. (Defence is scripted, Blood saccing will continue with my capital income, my meager gem income is converted in more dudes by monthly casting.) Going AI would ruin this, so If I survive the turn just let me stale. (and feel free to force hosting if I'm the only one still having to submit a turn.)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Your wish is my command ;)

But seriously looks like you've put your last army to auto pilot quite nicely. Probably better than some human players, not to mention the AI would :p

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

WL, if you see this in time please add 24 hours. Won't need that much probably but just in case.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 24 hours. The game will now host at 17:09 GMT on Monday August 13th.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hah, that was some freaky action in 108.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I don't remember where 108 is. Got any more details you can share?

I hate being stuck at work when a turn comes in.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Ulm used the Wolf Soulstone on me. A bunch of wolves attack a 5 PD province, kill most of the troops which routs the PD minotaur commander, and than just a few squares before he runs off (and the battle ends) a wolf catches up to him and makes him berserk and trample them all to death. :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

So you haven't completely eliminated all my forces in one bold move. I'm still waiting for that.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I'm working up to it I promise! Tricky business plotting to annihilate someone in a single stroke of brilliance.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Yeah, just because of that berzerking minotaur commander, I now think that Pangaea's PD is actually pretty excellent. At least at low PD values, it's very good, compared to some others at low values.

You learn something new every day with this game. Or maybe this is just a special case. :hurt:

I am actually disappointed with the Soulstone in general, I remember it from Dom2 where it was amazing!! I mean it's still good in this game, just not what it was.

I'm surprised with all that research you didn't beat me to some of these artifacts, Executor! I guess you were busy researching spells to give you total dominance on the battlefield... not a bad call heh..

With Neifelheim hurting now apparently, C'tis, you might be our last hope unless Lanka decides to pull his weight in this game! I know I probably made some diplomatic blunders to piss you off, Lanka, but Pangaea is in a solidly dominant position in this game. I think we're going to have to 4 v 1 him.. and even then he'll probably win..

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

The minotaur is very useful. Pangaea is safe from any of those low level remote attacks. Last turn I saw you lose to 1PD with Call of the Wild, though it was fought under GoH.

Yeah I rushed battle magic, that was a priority. There was no point in risking construction 8, figured you'd get there first even with my research lead.

C'tis already declared war on me btw!:)
Though, thankfully, he'll probably have some logistical problems which might give me some advantage.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Gonna need another 24 hours again WL.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 24 hours. The game will now host at 13:30 GMT on Friday August 17th.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

WL, I need another 24 hours please. :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 24 hours. The game will now host at 13:30 GMT on Saturday August 18th.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

You're very official when postponing the game. :)

Could we possibly put the game on hold until Sunday? We're doing some reconstruction, paintwork, etc, in our home and things go very slow when you're working with a bunch of lumbering drunken idiots. So a two day job is turning into a week long **** up... :p

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Haven't you heard? That's the new llama talk ;)

GL with the reconstruction. I'll postpone 2 Sunday .

All. Have a quiet & restful weekend for you'll need your strength for the coming and ongoing wars :)

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Executor, by putting GoNB up you've declared war on all the nations. Or was it the other way around? :p

To whom who may not know GoNB is a killer global (+ 2 more globals doesn't hurt either ;) ). Right there with AN, FotA etc. If Pan can't be put down quickly, a joint dispel should be considered.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I do think it was the other way around. Hey, given everyone already declared war on me, including Lanka as of last turn, I think I'm entitled to all the help I can get!
Hmm, does this seem familiar to you WL? People declare war on me, I start pulling out all sort of crazy ****. Good times. :)

BTW, would anyone be interested in selling me a Winged Helmet? I will pay generously.

Oh, and I totally support a joint dispel attempt. In fact, not only on GoNB, all of them.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Lol. You're the best, err the worst, foe :)
And when put in the corner, phew, may the gods help us all.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Yeah, ouch. You could pull punches just a little bit, Exec. I almost regret landing that army. I keep wincing in anticipation of the violence that is about to be visited upon those poor, innocent giants.

Pandemonium?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

You flatter too much please, I'm sure you'll the better of me soon enough. ;)

WL, I need a delay again. 24 hours should be enough.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

I was just about to ask for the same thing. Scheduling turn time is getting to be a bit rough. Should we extend the deadline permanently by 24h?

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

The hosting interval for MemoriesOfIce has now been changed to 96 hours, and the deadline for the next hosting has been automatically postponed by 24 hours.

Executor, what is more flattering?- My high opinion of you or the fact that it takes four nations to, maybe, stop you? :eek:

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Perhaps actions do speak louder than words. :D

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Sorry WL but I am going to need 12 more hours.

Re: MoI - Memories of Ice, EA non newb game - Ongoing
 

Hosting postponed for MemoriesOfIce by 12 hours. The game will now host at 02:48 GMT on Friday August 24th.
