End of World!
 

I am tired of diplomacy. I will honour existing treaties, but I will exit from all of them in minimum time. I entered game late, and in-fighting on land lets R'lyeh win. And I am first victim, everyone sees that. Arco's borders are closed, get scouts OUT!

I will sent in game text messages to officially terminate NAPs. NOT break and backstab, but terminate in agreed time. I repeat, get scouts OUT of arco, or I will take it as preparation for invasion.

Re: End of World!
 

This thread makes for exciting reading!

Re: End of World!
 

The aliens are destroying our planet. The Kingdom of Pangea expresses our renewed commitment to the destruction of Ryleh. All other wars must be suspended, I don't think we have any other choice.

I would like to continue our fun conflict, Ulm, but it looks like we will have to pick it up after Ryleh has been defeated. What do you say? It was sort of a stalemate position anyway. You should exchange one province with Maverni so as to have access to Ryleh's ocean.

With all of us united, Ryleh will be destroyed quickly, I believe. I thought before that we had more time before our utter anilhilation, but it's quite clear that our planet will be destroyed in a matter of a few turns, and we must act now!

Edit: And Ryleh, I gotta bow down man! You are handing us our asses here! Congradulations!

Re: End of World!
 

I agree Pangea to a cease of hostilities between our nations for now. We must deal with Ryleh and I have access to his borders now and will begin war upon them soon.

Re: End of World!
 

Go, go, world against R'lyeh! But, boy, am I glad I unloaded this game, or what?

Re: End of World!
 

Is ANYONE against peace on land?

My God just fight with four Mind Lords, killed one and crippled some. Lets clean East Seas, first, and then go west.

Peter/Tuidjy: shut up, and feel shame!

Re: End of World!
 

is acro and marv still playing?

Re: End of World!
 

I never stalled (Arco) But what is the point? I fight under water, I win some fight. My people move on, mind lords come behind and take over. Only way to win is make magic castles, and I have no gems. And we need to all attack. At once.

Re: End of World!
 

Great R'lyeh just put up Sea of Ice. I foresee this game heading into a stalemate.

Re: End of World!
 

Yeah, he put up Sea of Ice.. but.. how many water gems did he use for it? He only gets astral gems from the Arcane Nexus, and he obviously has a use for those (destroying the planet!!), so my guess is he didn't alchemitize any of them for the Sea of Ice.

The guy of mine who cast Mother Oak died, so again just guessing here -- but I think that Ryleh saw the opportunity and put up Sea of Ice with only maybe 50 extra gems or so (or less).

My point is, that we can dispel Sea of Ice, so don't panic just because of that. There are other good reasons to panic though, hehe.

Any volunteers to dispel Sea of Ice? I will donate gems for it. Another tactic could be to wait a bit -- I am going to cast a global spell with mucho extra gems very soon (as soon as I get a booster item from Tir). It may dispel Sea of Ice randomly when it goes into effect. Hell, it may even dispel Arcane Nexus but something tells me we ain't that lucky.

If it dispels my own Gift of Health I am going to cry.

Re: End of World!
 

And if it hits the Arcane Vortex it will likely fail to take hold. You guys
are better off dispelling another enchantment first.

Re: End of World!
 

Well, I am going to volunteer to try to dispel Sea of Ice. Anyone who wishes to assist, please send astral pearls. 15-20 per person should do it, I think. (I am Pangea)

Re: End of World!
 

Everyone is committed to peace on land, right? Ulm??

Additionally, are people going to be sending astral gems or not? I need to know if I need to get my god back on a lab province this turn.

Re: End of World!
 

Ulm is not about to let Marv fall to those whom cowardly broke our NAP in the past(Tir Nog). Also Ulm has never before declared war or ended an NAP with those whom truly seek peace on land. I know your loyalites Pangeea lie with Tir Nog and im not about to let Tir Nog borders grow next to my own.

If Marv and Tir agree to peace than I will agree to peace with Tir but I am not about to ask Marv to seek peace with cowards.

This game is busted anyway, there is noway we will decide a winner by turn limit 75 with our economies being destroyed.

I am still committed to the destruction of the squids and will invade once the sea of ice is gone.

Who has donated gems?

Re: End of World!
 

I missed my weekend turn, but I do not think R'lyeh will be winner if we all attack him. Thanks for nature gems, I am castling and templing under water. I do not care who is declared winner, but I care to kill R'lyeh. Of course, if others fight on land, and I wear me under water, the winner will not be Arco :-(

Re: End of World!
 

Sea of Ice has been dispelled. Thank you to those who sent gems. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Open season on the aliens!!

Re: End of World!
 

Sea of Ice is back up.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

An amphibious force of elite Pangean commandos has been trapped beneath the re-growing sea ice and now they have no means of retreat. Their mission is clear: To destroy the alien menace and reclaim the planet!

The offensive underwater is going well so far. My commandos have captured a Kelp Fortress and are now using it as a base of operations. However, this success comes at the expense of my dwindling White Centaur herd. No White Centaur births have been recorded since the beginning of the alien-caused End Times, so their kind may in fact go extinct. Despite this, they keep fighting in an enraged fury at those who have brought such destruction to our planet.

Re: End of World!
 

Tyrant seems like he left... R'lyeh is taking over Maverni, and has now a landhold. And Ulm assassinating me, for no reason, I have been only fighting R'lyeh. This game is gone to Hell. Well, it is gone to Hell before I subed.

Re: End of World!
 

The assassinations I believe are caused by the Wild Hunt global that Ulm cast. So, he didn't do it to you on purpose, although he did cast the spell on purpose, grrrr.

Re: End of World!
 

well, i'd like to let you know that rlyeh has been subbed by someone else for a long duration (starts before oceanis' demise)...due to my lack of time, so please stop sending me pms http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

i do occasionally go back and download turns for fun however, and i found the new lord of r'lyeh is a roleplaying fanaticist http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif The paragraph she wrote to reproduce the histroy (the fallen of ea rlyeh) amused me to no end http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif .

i login to the game last hour and, it appears that the rlyeh is finally about to meet its end, as the nexus has been dispelled and...something else happened, but the situation is still, well, quite amazing fun. while this game might be somewhat frustrating for you my friends, i hope you all snatched some entertainment out from it and, don't blame me for asking someone...funny...to sub http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: End of World!
 

Report from the northwestern coast:

Mictlan fishermen from a nearby village are in a panic at something they have seen out on the open ocean, although no one can verify their story, or honestly even understand what the Prokrantor they are taking about. Amidst their frenzied blatherings they manage to speak semi-coherently about what they have seen: Apparently, the sky has torn open, and an alien being of immense size and power has descended from the heavens, splashing down into the sea with the force of a tidal wave. Some say it was merely an asteroid striking the earth, while others argue that the Doom wished for by the alien race has finally reached it's ultimate fruition, an omen of death for the few survivors left on this nearly destroyed planet.

Re: End of World!
 

Sorry Nikolai but I figured what the hell.

Re: End of World!
 

I didn't understand it was the global ritual. I thought that it was a anti blood mage spell, but your assassin attacked one H2 commander.

Re: End of World!
 

I AI'd Marverni, as they staled 2 times in a row.

whoops
 

Torgrin and his ghost ship cannot sail while Sea of Ice is out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Scorned Land
 

Subbing for Nick. Should be temporary...

Re: Scorned Land
 

is everyone finished with this game?

Re: Scorned Land
 

Are we declaring a draw?

Re: Scorned Land
 

I just AI'd Pangea cuz they had staled twice in a row.

Looks like Arco is mostly the winner, but Ulm has a bigger army... Whaddaya say folk?

Re: Scorned Land
 

Acro!!!??? He did well for a sub and has the most research but nothing eles... Hell I would even be up for an all out draw cause the squids and Pangea were alot of fun.

Re: Scorned Land
 

Hey, I was still playing!

I think that any one of us 4 remaining could have a shot at winning. Well, I suppose Ryleh is going down, but that's because she's being double-teamed.

Edit: I just re-uploaded my turn. I believe that prevents me from going AI, right?

I agree to a draw if everyone still playing agrees to it. I have to say that Ulm looks to be leading right now, but since Ryleh is losing power and since Arco and I (Pangea) are working together, Ulm's victory is far from certain.

Re: Scorned Land
 

arco has 66 provinces to Ulm's 83, but has the highest income of 1757, with pangea being second w/ 673. Granted, of the top 4, arco has the smallest army, but personally i think income is king.

Re: Scorned Land
 

I didn't realize arco had a 1757 income.. that is obscenely high for this game. I mean.. he probably has money available to actually spend on stuff!!! Whenever I want to buy something, I have to alchemitize fire gems... what is your secret, arco?

Re: Scorned Land
 

Money in late game is almost worthless...even more so in this fubared game. Magic items, gems, SC's and domain are what rule late game.

Im sure Pangea and Arco would have teamed up against me and it would take another 50 or so turns to figure out a winner. So how bout you take this game down Zach and start a new one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Scorned Land
 

hehe... consider it done.

Re: Scorned Land
 

I know for fact that Peter (Arco) does not want game ended, and think he can win. I gave nation BACK to him, because I got injured, and I am on medication. _Who_ wants game ended? I enjoy watching turns. Arco just started a final push with R'lyeh.

Re: Scorned Land
 

I'd like to continue. I'd also like not to be turned AI.

Re: Scorned Land
 

I most definitely want to continue. At least until *%!@*$%#! R'lyeh is dead and
buried. And it will be. People should be taught that casting Armageddon is not a
recipe for success. It's a shame that the land nations did not work together
to eliminate him (I was not here, so I do not know why) but since I took
the nation, I have cleaned him from one ocean and from Maverni's former lands,
and as of this turn, hold a province next to his capital.

I think that each of us, except for R'lyeh has a chance to win the game. Pangaea
and Ulm may be stronger than my nation, but I'm enjoying kicking mindflayer butt.

Oh, and I am no sub. Nick took over for a while, but a branch caught up with his
car, so I am back on Arco's helm.

Re: Scorned Land
 

Heck I guess I would like to finish it out if others do too.

Re: Scorned Land
 

I don't know, Tuidjy, you are in pretty good shape if you still have a nice income. I disagree with the idea that money isn't worth anything anymore, I would give anything to be able to build white centaurs again. Without money, Ulm and I are forced to rely on just summoned units. I mean, summoned units are great, but it would be better if I could add sneaking groups of white centaurs to the mix. And if I could recruit Pans again.

I think with Gift of Health I am in good shape as far as not dying, but as far as winning goes, I'm really not sure.

So, I am up for a draw if all players agree. If we continue, I am supporting Arco against the hated races of Ulm and Ryleh! If I ever find myself in a position of being able to push against Ulm, I would try to win for myself, as well.

Edit: Oh, about the reason why we didn't gang up on Ryleh-- we tried, we really did. But, Ulm and I were geared for war just before all this Ryleh stuff happened. I thought I had a pretty kick-*** midgame army, and he was the largest nation out there, so I wanted his land. At first, my plan was basically to ignore Ryleh as best I could and focus and Ulm. I mean, I helped in the dispel attempt, but when that failed, I foolishly decided to continue with my plans to attack Ulm. I mean, I had an all land army, and Ulm had no border with Ryleh, so I thought it was okay to do so.

But, that changed when the Armageddons started. I had just won a battle against Ulm, so when I offered him peace in fear of the armageddon, he accepted. So, everyone was geared up to strike against Ryleh (some already were doing so), but then the Sea of Ice went up. We dispelled it, and were able to get some units underwater, but then it went up again with tons of gems in it.

We actually got enough underwater to defeat Ryleh, I believe, and they are doing their holy work underwater as we speak.. but then Ulm attacked me. Ulm at this point has grown rich and powerful off his huge stretches of land, and he really still is in excellent shape to win.

Everyone else got frustrated and lost morale due to the constant armageddons, more or less that's the way it went, and they turned AI. I lost morale too, and staled a ton of times.

So, that is how the game went, according to me.

Re: Scorned Land
 

U pretty much hit it on the nail CUnknown.

Re: Scorned Land
 

It was a good game. I'd love to get into the next one. I have a new and improved Mictlan build. Did we ever find out who was playing R'yleh?

-Ubercat

Re: Scorned Land
 

Two Armageddon's in one turn! Has anyone kept count on the number of them cast in this game? My nation cant take anymore of them! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Scorned Land
 

I see how all this came to pass, I guess. Unfortunately, with two armageddons per
turn, the land of Arcoscephale is a haunted waste populated by undead... whose only
passion and motivation is the bloody demise of those responsible for the holocaust.

Well, I am slowly tightening my noose around R'lyeh's capital, but by the time
the bloody wisherS are dead, I am sure that my prospects will be just like everyone
else's - damn close to zero.

Still, I would rather finish the game, because lets face it - when will we ever
be involved in a game as messed up as this one?!

Re: Scorned Land
 

Hey Zach are u going to keep this game up or start another? Thanks.

Re: Scorned Land
 

ok, just kicked off a new one, "Bastion of Power", same settings, but w/ 20 provinces per nation

Re: Scorned Land
 

Oh.. dang. I would have liked to have played this one out a little longer. Thank you for hosting, though.

Re: Scorned Land
 

Hmm... Ulm surrenders, and the game is stopped? I meant to win it :-)
I hereby declare victory! Yeaaaah, Arcoscephale!

Re: Scorned Land
 

I was more worried about Pangea than your nation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Scorned Land
 

Yeah, I meant to make you pay for the "Arco has nothing but income and research"
statement. You must have noticed one of the SCs that I do not have rout your
prophet. In any case, the game was not decided. Do backups exist?

But yeah, the game was between me and Pangaea, although we were fighting very much
on the same side at the end.

I must say that I am quite puzzled that a game with four active players is ended
when two (Arco and Pangaea) are very much against ending it, and one (R'lyeh) while
missing on the forums, is clearly making an effort to go out with a bang or two.
