Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

Your condescending attitude is quite presumptive and abrasive Xietor. I think I'll leave my response at that.

Baalz:

I guess everyone was thinking about how to deal with you after conquer of Man. And after taking down Abysia probably most people were almost ready to stop all wars and unite against you.

oops
 

oops.

My sincere apology baalz. I was not trying to be abrasive or condescending. You are an excellent player to have earned the wrath of the entire free world while playing one of the weaker races.

It is an honor to have a player of your skill in this game, and i do hope you accept my apology. No offense was intended. I will edit my poorly worded post.

Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

Apology accepted Xietor, and I appologize myself. I'm just a bit grumpy as I very much disagree with your assessment that I'm still winning. I'm not bowing out by any stretch, but I very much expect a drastic drop in my score graphs shortly...:) It's not obvious from the army graph because I'm using mostly thugs but this last turn was rather catastrophic for me army wise...

Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

Xietor's style leaves something to be desired, but I don't think he means in that way.

Anyway, Xietor's assertion that I could still be competitive in this game has some merit to it, if I really wanted to be tenacious. However, after my second disastrous war, and many other irritating mistakes, I think I'll chalk this down as a learning experience and concentrate on my other two games (where I'm winning.)

There are few things more frustrating that suffering the consequences of your own shortsightedness and stupid mistakes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif, which is exactly what's happening to me now.

With clever diplomacy I could stay in this thing - and I'm not going AI yet - but I hardly think it's likely.

So...I can has my capital back?

By which I mean:

I AM SO SICK OF THOSE THUGS.

Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

ROTFL Tichy, how I begged you not to attack me. I begged, I pleaded, I offered a big bribe, and in the end I told you the war would screw me up but I was sure it would screw you up more. Well, if its any consolation I think it did screw me up as much as I don't have any way at this point to even slow down Arco's stately march into my lands. I'd offer to give you your capital back, but I'm sure Arco has other plans for it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

Yes, all of these things are true, and were tempting. I knew it was a gamble stacked against me to attack you, and I knew I really wasn't ready because the dance with C'tis had stalled my research and diseased half my mages. (You may have seen them. They were all the guys in the front with 2 hit points casting magma bolts until they ate firbolg.)

But my only other option was to sit tight and do nothing as you or whatever coalition attacked you became increasingly powerful, or attack Arco with whom I have good relations, and who wasn't expanding his way to dogpile bait. I made my decision and stick with it. I just wish you'd had to use more than one damn strategy to cause me so much grief.

Re: Mictlan Gem Sale!
 

I will, with grace and humility accept anyones surrender at this point in the game. Feel free to send me all your gems and gold.

The Battle of Water and Earth
 

DrP: I thought it was a pretty even battle actually, until all your ancient ones started breaking, which was pretty lucky for me. I wasn't expecting a full blown attack either.

Xietor: I don't think my silver orangs played a major part in it though, other than some mopping up towards the end and freezing the rest of my troops to death http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif


Anyway, seeing all those amphibious troops... well - Panjang No Like.


PS - not used to big battles with so many commanders. Is there a way to 'fast forward' without having to use the 'n' key? And does orang refer to the Malay word for 'man'??
