Hmm, isn't that strange? I mean, I wouldn't think of Ulm as much of a late game threat, so it seems to me that most people would want to stay on Ulm's good side early game knowing that they can easily kill Ulm later.

i notice nobody specifically attacks certain nations...i think it goes by diplomacy and who your neighbors are because some neighbors like peace and others want to take you over

i guess its all random lol

Heh, notice that msew seems to be connected to the server a lot. I wish I had broadband in the Solomon Islands.

pardon me friends,

what do the little crowns on the map signify?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

victory points

we have to get a certain amount to win the game...i dont know how many though...not too familiar with victory point games

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Since victory by victory points are not enabled in this game, they should have no effect. However, depending on the map, some provinces with vps may have special monsters.

Looks like player on player violence has already started - anyone care to report on the details? Surely someone has something to brag about, right? Enquiring minds want to know...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

It could also be a misfortune event that caused arco to lose a province. But going by the graphs...Ulm, Mictlan, and Jotum all gained a province the same time Arco lost his.

And it looks like Ulm is going to invade me also.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

only ulms turn left for it to host

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Unfortunately Arco and I (Jotum) started side by each so I have been going at him out of desperation

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I'm really sorry to keep the rest of you waiting, but I can only get in my turn in about 7 or 8 hours from now. Sorry. Same goes for CasualCarnage. I was hoping that Boron would get in his turn before I went to bed Last night, but I guess he was too busy with the other controversial thread.

I don't plan on invading anyone at the moment. I am prepared to give everyone who's interested a standard treaty of 3 turns notice before going to war. Anyone who agrees will also be spared from my spies formenting unrest. I reserve the right to use spies on anyone who doesn't have a treaty with me. Indies are fair game however, and as far as I'm concerned, indies are first come first served. So far as I can see, there are still plenty of indies to go after.

Ermor is a special consideration due to its destructive dominion and I attacked that indy province to lay claim to it in order to prevent Ermor from taking it and building a temple/fort in it. I won't attack any provinces already owned by Ermor, and the 3 turns treaty offer extends to Ermor as well.

Also, if we attack the same indie province, it belongs to however wins the battle that ensues. I'd take that as an accident and won't affect any treaty if one exists.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I would like one of those treaties.

Signed, sealed and delivered.

How do these usually work?

Is it:

Turn 1: Declaration of hostile intent.
Turn 2: No hostile action.
Turn 3: Issue orders for hostile action.

The nation of mictlan has gone insane and gone to war with ulm since they provoked us by spies causing unrest to do so .
Ermor your time has come to make a few easy grabs on ulm .

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

just want to say: The pangaea satyrs are the bravest units ever. Everyone should be sending pangaea requests to train your troops in morale uberness.

Today was a bad day for me, but seeing my province defence destroying your main army made me smile again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Anyway, it was a nice idea to use the kraken as an SC.
However,I offered you peace and you attacked me. Now I'll drive you back into the waters you came from squidhead

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Well, it seems that violence is breaking out everywhere, and thus the game's namesake is fulfilled http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I must admit, I did expect that the indies would mostly gone before chaos ensued...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

yeah I am going to crawl into a hole as that battle was so utterly jacked up.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

What really annoys me is that you managed to slow both of us so much that we are no match for the other nations out there.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

It seems to me that high indy settings encourages players to go after provinces that have already been cleared by other opponents instead of risking troops taking new indies. A lower indy setting should help to reduce early wars and push players to kill all indies before engaging in a potentially debillitating early war.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Sorry Frosted... I just felt backed into a corner and tried to take a bite out of you...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

No apologies needed, obviuosly everyone has to play for their own survival, its just hard to wage war early on with another player. Even if you win you can lose

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Ulm wishes to announce we have repulsed the unprovoked attack of the Mictlan. Furthermore, the untiring devotion of our priests have called our beloved Carnifex back from the land of shadow. We call upon all nations to destroy the Mictlan before their insanity spreads.

P.S. I'd love to see your battle msew.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I will gladly post the battle a bit later in the game. I don't want to give away the various intel / hw locations / lands that people own this early in the game.

Suffice to say: I think the decision to attack pangaea's HW at the time I attacked was a correct decision. Sadly, the random number generator decided to roll VERY VERY VERY well for him. When his PD should have routed they didn't. And they continued to not rout for the entire battle.

And then 3 commanders retreat from battle and live. And my god retreats from battle and DIES?!!??! (no one I have talked to understands how that could have happened).

Just mind boggling.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

certain damage effects still have to be calculated at the end of a battle, for instance your god may still have had poison damage to take, or someone may have cast bleed on him, or hit him w/ a baneblade, or somesuch.

if you actually got the message "has died retreating" while other commanders in the battle didn't, then that is very perplexing. perhaps save that trn file...

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

Msews god should have survived. He got 2 battle afflictions, but nothing serious, and he had a province to retreat to.

However, your army was not very strong. I assume the satyr's didn't rout because they killed more of your troops than they lost. Even if you had won that battle you would have had to fight my main army in the same turn, a battle you could not have won with so many casualties against the pd.

But it's just a game, so no need to get angry :-)

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

So, did odd_enuf stale Last night? I notice he hasn't taken his turn yet on this (though he's still got plenty of time) - anyone hear from him lately?

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

I didn't hear any responses to Lepakko's post - if I remember correctly, Jarenko, you've registered, right? What's your ID? And Boron, how about you?

For everyone else that's not registered yet, it takes about 2 minutes, and it would be helpful for those of us that are interested in the ladder, here's the Battlefield URLs again:

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

That army should have won against the PD with some casualities (some of the chaff dead). (which was to be replaced by 20 more chaff the next turn :-) )

The amount of chaff lost was out of control. And then the PD never routing was just mind boggling.

Re: MP Game - Pandemonium (noob/int game) - open
 

IMHO the death of your pretender is a bug. That's what I think happened: pretender is aquatic -> own sea province nearby? -> no -> kill pretender. It seems that the amulett of the fish or whatever it is called did not work properly.

You know, this might not be his first stale, either.

Jarenko, are you alive???


Edit:
You know - I was just hoping we could pick up the pace on this game, this weekend. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif Guess it was just not meant to be.

Boron -

Are you there? Are you going to take your turn in this game?

And, if Boron, or anyone else out there is reading this post, could someone watch to see if Jarenko stales again?
