What use is the Astral magic to the dragon? I know you can cast some useful things like Luck with Astral 1. What else does he do with it?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Luck, body ethereal, astral shield, astral weapon, cool evocations and even cooler thaumaturgies!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

what can't you do is the better question http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

its very expensive, but adding luck and ethereal basically makes it extremely unlikely he'll pick up any afflictions wiping out indies. astral weapon means he's a potent SC killer even into the late game. and S9 makes him an astral king capable of natively casting wish, or whatever other high level ritual one might want. or battlefield support magic.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Indeed! But once he's killed some ~4 times he'll be in the mind duel range http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

hmm, the hosting period keeps being reset. I guess graeme has been having to reboot his server.

edit: hey cohen wake up! just you left to go ;p

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Ok, All you European War 2 players - Arch says there's a new turn, though for some reason he's having trouble posting.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

testing testing

edit: hmm, as soon as truper did his post i was then able to post again

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

new turn

(still have these weird posting problems)

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Hello all,

A new turn is waiting again!

Turms

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

The wheel has spun once more - new turn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Bah. Another new turn so soon, and bit by the 'Checking game status with a partly done turn' feature.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

oh yeah, that's a pain. I try to do the essential things when i first look at a turn, in case that happens.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Let's play! New turn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Dang it Abysia, WTH do you think you are doing sending that angel deep into the steel lands?

For your sake she'd better be half-priest. If I can't kill her, I can surely erase the dominion where ever she is not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn again.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

and another comes

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Mictlan has ttacked Machaka!

Everybody, use your chances now!

Turms - Machaka

P.S New turn is waiting.

P.S.S. I might have some problems making my turn in the next few days, I would really appreciate if you would wait in case I cannot play. I should be able to come back in time, but I cannot be really sure.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

i'm fine w/ turning off quickhost for the next bit. I certainly would like you to whomp something of mine w/ your army and SC's http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

turms, you should probably pm graeme or email him asking him to turn off quickhost.

and I wouldn't say I attacked, more like a proactive police action. everyone likes police, right?

;p

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

How come I cant connect to the server anymore? I'm playing R'lyeh (trying to connect to 68.148.43.237:8500).

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I am having the same problem!

I know I am the Last to do the turn, I hope I will not stale http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

try opening an instance in one window, and then another in another window. also, you can pm graeme to restart his server instance.

edit: hmm, i just retried and it didn't work. I think his server is down.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Yeh - both Europe games are down right now.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I'm restarting right now.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

thanks graeme. its back up - just waiting on the spider lord.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Good to hear.

I have my turn ready since yesterday.
I will upload when I get back home in some 4-5 hours.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

New turn!

I fear I will lose this war. But at least I was able to do some damage.
One archdevil and two icedevils died Last turn, so go for the summons!

Turms the spiderlord with no spiders

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

yes, very nice counter-attack turms. I was clearly being a bit over-confidant there; but also you had a nicely balanced set-up, and quite a bit of punch.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

My server is having serious problems that I believe are related to NAV 2005. I'll see what I can do to improve the stability somehow.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

And the wheel has turned, and we have a winner!

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

A great prize awaits!

For the brave country who challenges the infidels of Mictlan the brave warriors of Machaka will offer the famous Alchemist's Stone!

The conditions are - attack Mictlan - fight a major battle - win or lose, the stone will be yours!

Just a hint - a major invasion very soon - the great Hammer of the Forge Lords is lying in our coffins. Maybe it might be of some use to the enemies of our enemies...

Orunjan - the Immortal Sun

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Ermor,

You should know that wiping out the Ulmish armies as they scramble to reform will only prolong your demise.

Initially you were to be offered a quick death, that will no longer be an option I fear.

-Crash


On a related note, could you do me the service of placing a useful helmet on the next summoned monstrosity you send north. The forges of Ulm offer little in the way of headgear.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Sure, whatcha need? Flame helmet ok?

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Seems the game has hosted. I was not the Last to move if you wonder.

The brave warriors of Machaka killed Bob Ethanim the archdevil this turn - or maybe he killed himself - or it killed itself. Whatever...

The real armies of Mictlan are stilll untouched, but we are not afraid.

Orunjan - the Immortal Sun

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Good game to everyone, I got killed.
I left to someone my spoils.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Good game Cohen.

You stomped two of my armies into dust.

Err.. or is it 'rust', since these are Ulmish we're talking about.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Ah, it was sweet to be the one to kill Cohen again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Not to mention slaying not one, but two prophets the same turn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

goddamn dom2 scripting :grrr:

it decides that bob the archdevil doesn't want to cast his scripted spell, so it pumps out a huge fire elemental, and so drives his fatigue to 192.
effing hell. to top it all off, the whole enemy army was fire immune.
At least i'll get him back. Actually, i'll get him back twice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

hey, i'm the one who's been taking it on the chin in this little war so far. I should be offering prizes for people to punch up that spider-loving mongrel of a phoenix ;p

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

What would everybody like to do with this game over the holidays? I can't guarantee that the server will stay up perfectly for the whole time, so it might be best to take a break at some point.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I'm easy. I am staying home for the holidays, so I can play, or I'm fine with the game holding if someone cannot.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Could go to pure quickhost - that way if people can take their turns, great, if not, great, no one stales or anything.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

isn't it pure quickhost at the moment? I sure hope it hasn't been changed back to two day hosting, since I can't get my move done until later today.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

ok i rushed my turn before heading out to work - so the worm has turned once again ;p

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

I second the pure quickhost proposition. If not possible, then its best to put this on hold until Graeme is available again.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Newt urn.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

A newt urn? What magic paths do you need to forge one of those - they produce a newt every month, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

sorry things have been a bit hectic, and so i've taken advantage of the "no qh for the holidays." I'll try to get my turn in later tonight when i get back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Heh. Arch's "tonight" is like Clinton's "is". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Hey! Arch for president! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

oh god sorry. i'm sick, and just started a new job doing 10 hr days, let alone the normal demands of christmas. I should be able just to get in some turn, but i'm about to pass out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

if you'ld like i could advertise for a sub or something, or i'll just try to get it done tomorrow. though i'm not sure why tomorrow will be any different from today.

again, apologies.

Re: MP Game - European War 2
 

Hello Archaeolept.

I think you should decide whether you can continue the game. If you do not want - find a substitute. If you put yourself to AI it will ruin the game anyways.

I would prefer to get the game going again pretty soon.
In my experience multiplayer games like this cannot survive long pauses. We can only hope that all players are still around.

Turms

I am losing - but please let my kill one little supercombatant before the end
