Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

that is the second time i have been 'seeking arrowed' by vanheim. it is such a ninja move, that while it is humbling, i don't even mind it. of course, my whole "superscouts get routed by their weak *** bird allies"-that was a bit irritating. but hey, my own silliness is often a drag. that's why we are newbies, i guess.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

It was a great move and it should have worked, the scout attack. Anyway last turn was nothing compared to this one, mwahahaha

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

yeah, i thought things were gonna actually get better!!! ahh well, i was told before that ulm had severe weaknesses. now i am learning first hand.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

You've played them before in MP though right? I am finding out Van's weaknesses also; apparently I just can't field as many men as you, by half... anyway, obviously you are still in it, I look forward to a good war :D

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

What does everyone else think about finding a sub for googly?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

i think we need a sub. yeah, i have played them in MP. im actually an Ulm addict. usually their weaknesses don't show up till late midgame, but you got me early.

yeah, it ain't over. im gonna try to bring you down with me in a black steel embrace!!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Well my Warlocks are dropping like flies, I need more research next time.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Kitty do you think we should find a sub for googly?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

If you guys are looking for a sub, I'll give it a go.
I've been reading and watching tutorials and playing against the AI for a few weeks and would like to try PBEM.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Support.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

I should say the reason i stopped playing was because I asked for a delay when i went away for 3 days and not only did you not wait for me to come back but I got attacked by ermor whilst I was away.
feel free to find a sub for me.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

smeg, thanks for subbing in. googly is right, he did ask for a delay, but i think it went unnoticed. it was an error. i think he had only staled one turn though. now it may be two.

ermor may be willing to diplo to get you back on your feet a bit. send minor kitty your email and we will get them switched out.

googly, sorry for the mix up. i think kitty must have just missed your request. perhaps another game?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Damn we were not aware that this happened googly. Was it due to a miscommunication between you and kitty? Was the 3-day thing just ignored or was it a matter of hosting taking place just a day or something early? Because I think we definitely did delay for around 3 days at that time, maybe you missed one turn? You are welcome back, and of course agartha is at war with ermor as well as you, so you are not in a hopeless situation at all.

If googly doesn't want to return I vote smeg in fo sho.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

We are hella synced parone, it is a shame we have to fight to the death.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

in this war hereward. but perhaps in another we shall be allies!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

kitty, if smeg is subbing in, we need to delay hosting until he can get set up. if googs is still with us, hopefully he gets it in. but i think we should delay until we know what we are doing.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

yeah yeah send in your email, I'm pretty sure I delayed for 2x24hrs, just missed the last 24hrs part of it was just due to the whole mess with llama server going down. It doesn't sound like googly is sticking around regardless. Also nothing says that I can't just roll back the game for a turn.

Anyways I guess whoever gets to me first.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Except that roll backs are hella risky apparently, also it would completely mess up certain events of the past 2 turns which have been game changing

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Definitely no rollbacks. I firsthand saw how it destroyed a game so badly it had to be completely restarted from the beginning. It has too many things that can go wrong with it.


Anyway, regarding the Ermorian war, wink wink, nudge nudge, might want to attack the bones while they're still at war with me, since later on you won't have a chance as good as this. ;)

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Yeah we should probably just get smeg in asap

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

The game is asking me to install "Assimilation_Mid.dm".
I'm copying my "Assimilation-Mid.dm" file to a new file, "Assimilation_Mid.dm" and will see if that works.

Edit: Well, that didn't work.
Where do I pick up the "Assimilation_Mid.dm" file?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

For me I had to rename the file to the one specified for it to work. Hope that helps.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Well, I tried copying the file and renaming it but that's not working.
It keeps displaying as "Assimilation - Mid" in the mod preferences screen, no matter what I name it; even if I name it "XYZ".
And Dominions 3 keeps asking for "Assimilation_Mid".

Hmmmm.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

When you say you're copying it do you mean leaving the original file in place?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Yes, I'm leaving the original file in place; just copying it to a new file.
Oddly, no matter what I call the second file, two identical options "Assimilation - Mid" then appear in the mod preferences screen.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

My dominions 3 mods folder contains the Assimilation folder, a (probably useless) Assimilation - Late.dm file, and a file I renamed to Assimilation_Mid.dm.

If you're saying that you have both Assimilation - Mid.dm and Assimilation_Mid.dm it probably means it's only 'seeing' the first one.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Ok, for some reason copying it doesn't work.
Needed to rename it.
It appears to work now; thanks for your help, Sluagh.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Aaargh.
Googly1 set a password.
Game won't let me play.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

For the sake of security you should probably be the one who messages them for the password.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Yes, I clicked on googly's nametag but there is no option to send googly a private message.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Damn. These forums, if I remember, have 'accept no PMs' as a default setting for accounts. I'll try and chase them down with a post or two in any other games he's in.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

sluagh and smeg, hats off to you two for trying to work this out

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Thanks parone. I've dropped a message into two of the games they're playing in, and hopefully we'll get a reply soon.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

mictlan staled again. i propose we delay indefinitley until a sub can be located. i guess the sub we thought we had is for another game?

every stale makes mictlan's position less attractive, so lets just hold up until we get someone. othewise, we aren't going to get anyone.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

parone,

I've been leaving messages in both threads about what's going on with the
Mictlan position.
googly1 has Password protect on, so there's no way for me to process the turn. I don't know the password.
Also, googly1 has Private Messaging off, so there's no way to contact him.

I've contacted Laamaserver and asked that the Mictlan position be set back to AI controlled.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

hmmm. that is very responsible. but i would prefer, if you are willing to sub, that we wait and try to get you in there. you would be INFINITELY better than ai

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Agreed. Please delay.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Let it be known that American Foreign Policy's word is not worth the breath it is spoken in.
He broke his NAP with Marignon without notice or warning. Wish we would have heeded Ulms call to arms instead of staying with our supposed ally.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

ahh the irony. AFP informed me of war(that's when i started looking for allies) and then when i reminded him of our NAP he was most honorable.

the tides of war can be strange indeed...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

He might have forgotten he had a NAP? It's been confusing around here.
BTW, does the game administrator have the ability to override psswd protection? This is why it's generally a bad idea to password protect a llamaserver game.

But this is a newbie game, mistakes are expected!

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

We never had a nap, I said it was profitable for us to be at peace, I did not accept any NAPs. I was non-committal because I was already plotting with Krpeters on invading Marrigon. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I accepted the NAP.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

No the admin doesn't have that power.


Look I didn't see what the problem was, I delay by 2 24hrs periods, only missed the last one because llamaserver went down. I apologize for that.

When googly complained I offered to roll back a turn, instead he took it personally and is forcing everyone else to wait by staling and withholding the password. I certainly won't be playing with him again, what's to say he won't have an in-game spat with someone else and decide to idle?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Done, let's say delay by 72hrs, Also can Ermor stop beating on the idle guy, it's kinda cheap.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

sounds good kat. i suppose it all rides on whether or not googs will give up his password...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

His spat's with me, it's not fair to everyone else.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Unfortunatly we had our agreement ingame - I cannot prove with a saved message that you accepted the NAP. I still say you accepted and we had a NAP.

A well, meet your doom. Kalaisa's first army just met theirs.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Ermor cannot afford idle troops, watching at volcanoes.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

Minor, I would be pissed if you did that. I call it NAP breaking. Trying to be a smart arse with a reply giving the general appearance of "accepting" a NAP knowing that you actually didn't say that you did will get you a reputation very quickly. Oh, and its a rep you don't want to have, because people who know this will not make NAPs with you.

Because I have had similar things pulled on me previously, if I get an evasive reply, then I go back to the person confirming that we do NOT have a NAP....

Ossa on the other hand is a proven NAP breaker. Just FYI, don't make a NAP with him, because he will break it at his earliest convenience.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

You guys might as well finish Mictlan off.

googly1 still hasn't replied and I'm tired of waiting.
I still don't have googly1's password and the turn emails are just cluttering up my intray; llama tells me he can't turn Mictlan to AI controlled without the password.
So, feel free to finish me off Sluagh.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 8/8 Players Remaining
 

i didn't realize slaugh was actively destroying mictlan. asking smeg to take then now is prob not fair. also, the AI isn't much better than nothing, so let's not even worry about it.

roll on.

one thing, kitty, you might be able to force host it to get around waiting for mictlan, although i imagine most of us are gonna need almost all the time anyway.

good luck all. remmember how googly comported himself in this instance before you sign up with him again. bad manners is one thing-intentionally trying to derail a game for 7 other folks is just a nono.
