So, where do we stand? Are we continuing, or calling it?

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)
 

I'm continuing, if only for practice with lategame that I literally have not had yet. Bashing the AI's skull in with two or three tarts does NOT count. I want to see how I fare against an actual player - especially since looking at the other two games I'm in, there's no guarantee I'll be a significant power by MIDgame there.

Sure, the squids' implosion has blown game balance all to hell... but it's still practice.

As far as I know the game is continuing with AIs

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)
 

Ashdod salutes our fallen foe, the Shinuyama. They fought to the last man, each trying to kill one more Ashdod. We look forward to seeing those Corrosion Staves again in this game.

Edit: ... and I salute Otic, who played until the last turn, even when it was clear that he would not prevail. You had me sweating through a few great battles.

Due to a summer brownout all games on the Dom3Minions.com server have been reset.
This has restarted the timer for this turn. I will not surprise anyone with a manual fix on what is showing (unless for some reason the group desires it)

Sorry about that. Blame global warming.

Where do we stand on this, in particular ashdod? Agartha says he is staying out of the water, but I have not seen this confirmed by the other players.

I just want to be sure we all are on the same page.

Too bad BG quit, he still has a very powerful position.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)
 

I am playing as normal - going into the water. As far as I know R'leyh is attacking Argatha too, and they did not want to stay out. I figured there was enough other players going AI and stale-ing turns to make it even-ish.

R'leyh should not have quit, the only thing that he lost was a whole bunch of gems that he could have made back. I think he would have won if he stuck it out due to his gem income and research.

R'leyh is giving me some trouble due to the items and scripts that BG left behind.

As it stands C'tis is taking the lead, with stong globals, gem income, research, and quiet borders.

I wasn't REALLY expecting you to stay landbound and felt like a bit of an *** for even casting the vote. ^_^

I'll be taking a pretty reasonable hit in the next few turns. My main southern army has Bandar Log's cornered in a fort, so something's gonna give.

It's gonna be pretty epic.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)
 

Ah, so we ARE allowed to go in the water? Alright then. I haven't been able to due to the huge wave of summons the AI has been throwing at me, but good to know once I clear them off my land.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, (started)
 

As far as I could tell the vote was

a) 1
b) 1
c) 1

so inconclusive.
