Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

is the server down at the moment ?!?
i wanted to play my turn now but can't connect ?

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

It might help estimate turning if we know where in the "real" world we all are.

Klatu - Man is in NY, USA.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

does anyone else have problems with the server expect me ? did the port or something change ?

Portugal. Blitz whenever you want, I'm on vacations http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

turn 7 is up

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

we just need boron, starwarsluke, and pickles to quickhost to turn 8 now and things are starting to get interesting

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Anyone want to share how they are doing?

I think I am doing good and I have a feeling that ulm is doing good as well. I think abysia's guy on the hof is misleading to how he is doing. Then you have caelum and ermor with nobody on the hof...bad start?

Anyone else want to throw guesses around?

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

This in not going very well for me, I had a slow start and lost 1 province 2 turns ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

About the other players I think Ulm and Mictlan must be doing good, because they have a lot of leaders in the hof, and the god of Mictlan has a lot of kills. I'm wondering what is the pretender of Mictlan, a Lord of the night?

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

i have a special province as neighbor with a golem leader with gargoyles . i wonder if i ever conquer the province ^^
but expect this my starting position is not bad i think

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I am using Moloch. I havent tried Lord of the Night yet. I will probably try that pretender next time if i stay with mictlan. I am interested in using Abysia with blood magic for another time.

Tannath you lost a province to another nation or by misfortune if you wish to share?

I am curious if anybody has fought each other yet. I know a bunch of us probably see enemy dominion already.

And Ulm has been going up that hof chart quickly but this turn they just lost their prophet. Going by the hof chart I assume that Ulm and I have the most provinces but it is still really early.

Oh and it is funny how nobody is recruiting those horrible hobbit mercenaries lol.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I have seen Abysia itself. I saw the battle when he conquered his province & noticed it go neutral again. We are really close together.

I have had OK expansion - as expected really. I have tried going faster than usual but have bounced a bit so not gained much. Those flying pretenders rack up lots of kills in pursuit so they can get a high score in just one battle. My troops do my fighing (being as they are big & blue) so my bosses look less impressive.

Pickles

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Someone is close to me as well but I expanded the other way and have some strong independents as a barrier between us.

Boron and StarWarsLuke...do your turns so we can quickhost lol. The next few turns are probably going to tell a lot.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I lost 1 province because it was attacked by an AI barbarian horde http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

I haven't fought the orher players yet.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

i usually use province defense to stop those independent misfortune attacks, doesnt stop all of them but it stops a good amount of them

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

hm i see an enemy dominion beyond me . only 2 provinces away .
hopefully this doesn't draw me in an early war .
the problem is if my dominion really spreads in someones provinces i don't want this myself but that would be not so nice . it's evil for every living race but especially for ulm and abysia in the early game .

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Well negative dominions kind of make it hard to be diplomatic because the other nations will want to kill you as fast as possible so their provinces arent ruined and also your current provinces are crap to them if they let you stay using them. I cant picture ermor with allies because they harm everyone.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

so for saturday...any conflicts to do a possible blitzing at like 20:00 - 21:00 gmt, i give the range bec you know everyone will be late

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

London, England

I have met people but they have not met me.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">as long as you keep my dominion out which is not so hard in general it doesn't hurt you.
the only problem is if you start only 3 provinces away from ermor because ermor has normally a bit higher starting domain than everyone else.

my direct neighbors are crap for everyone else exept me and pan CW because 15 turns under the influence of my dominion are enough to almost totally depopulate them even without conquering them . so ~ 10-15 provinces directly neighboring me or only 2 provinces away will most likely be depopulated by turn 15-20 almost always.
but after this my dominion will not expand much more if i don't push it via temples and this is only a latergame option for me if i don't get gold from someone else or via lucky events .

but i don't see why ermor always needs to be attacked asap .
my almost total 1 dimensionality to death is even easier to beat mid-late game than early game since earlygame at least your troops will starve .

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

turn 8 is up

Pillaging provinces for gold can get you a good amount for temples also. And about attacking ermor the sooner the better is because the longer your dominion is running in your land when it is taken over the land is kind of worthless to any living nation.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">bah
you still get the gems from the magic sites . that's the most important income from every province http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

the ermorian coreland is always depopolated no matter how quick you are .

if we really blitz today i can't join before ~21.30 gmt unfortunately http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

ok no problem boron, looks like only me and drool are connected right now and man will be soon

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">i connected now to the server only starswarsluke is missing with his turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

but i think it is really difficult to blitz once there are more than 5 players .

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

yeah, we have too many different time zones for it to work =[

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

I have been around waiting for the next turn. I can blitz this night, at least for the next 2 or 3 hours.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Take a look at http://www.the-battlefield.com/forum...ST&f=27&t=202, it's a tournament of Dom2, there are still a lot of empty slots.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

new turn is up

and it seems i just killed somebodys scout

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

so where o where is boron?

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

hmm it seems a lot of us are close to each other

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

yes thats true. 'Man is the only one without neighbours right now.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

actually thats not true lol

he has seen a few of you guys with spies, he just expanded the opposite way

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

i dunno http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

just realized turn 12 is up!!!

only abysia and jotum have done their turns so far

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

Thought i'd make some comments so y'all would know I'm alive.

Like my spwaning spot a lot. Things are going well, I think. But sure, now that i've said it, it will be all downhill! LOL.

Wierd getting used to playing without the score graphs. BTW, I've found most of you. I agree with Aku, the next turn or two should get very interesting.

Re: MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)
 

things are gettin so interesting, so would it be a crazy idea to blitz some night? just a couple of turns maybe.
