Final offensive? That sounds...final... ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

After defeating the forces from Acro/Vanheim/Caelum, the falling of Acro empire seems inevitable.

Hey we were not defeated...we are merely advancing in another direction that happens to be away from you.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

LOL

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Just ask Agartha where my giant army is located.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Giant army or army of giants? ^^

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Hey wokeye, I sent you an email.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

This game will be even more fun if any of us make it to endgame. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Well someone has to make it.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

I guess so!

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Nasty flying birdmen and their lightning! Stepping through that gate was a rather traumatic experience.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

The 4on4 war still continues. Looks Arco is getting the worse of it.

Re: The war to end all wars (maybe not)
 

Nothing like a bit of world war biff to warm the cockles of the hearts of the Burning Ones.

Hey Agartha, will you just come die already?
 

I mean seriously do you HAVE to try to repair that fort? Why don't you come out and fight me and my army? We are getting bored ravaging the countryside. You Agarthans don't even taste good.....like old mutton.

Ouch

"Surprise party for the Arcoscephalan Enchanter ends in tears"
It appears the little lady is tougher than she appears!

Re: Ouch
 

I have to stop antagonizing Agartha....guess their final reserves have been called from their hiding places to do battle.

Re: Ouch
 

They bit you back, Vanheim?

Re: Ouch
 

Not yet, but they did bring out their armies. Should be a battle next turn I think.

Re: Ouch
 

Ah no battle...back hide in their fort after I whip on them.

Re: Ouch
 

Despite thorough searches of Abysian lands by roving warlocks and numerous search spells over many turns (see graph for results: nada...) - we have come to the conclusion that you guys are hoarding all the magical sites.

Give them back, already! We likes teh purrrty gems!

Re: Ouch
 

Want some gems??? I will pay for that Agarthan Fort on your border. 10 of each type of gem when the temple is razed and in your full control???

Re: Ouch
 

Meh the big squishy ones are amusing to watch when our youngsters flick burning cinders on their skin. We prefer not to attack them.

ah well
 

It doesn't matter.....it will be 3 on 3 shortly I think. Kailisa and Agartha don't look too healthy.

Stale noooooooooooo
 

Oooo nooo...3hrs on the timer and I'm at work, can't get home to send in my turn. Is there any way we could extend the timer for this turn by ~4 hrs? or a day?

I was away all weekend throwing frisbees at people much fitter than myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Stale noooooooooooo
 

Doh - nvm, guess this just means Abysia has more money to spend on fireworks and marshmellows this turn...

Re: Stale noooooooooooo
 

Never mind. We are in good frame.

Re: Stale noooooooooooo
 

No biggie. Has Caelum gone AWOL??

Kailasa
 

Kailasa is on AI, then?

Re: Kailasa
 

Looks like it. I think this game is coming to a close and its looking like Abysia/Lanka are going to win. At least from my perspective. Agartha is dead, Mictlan is not close to taking anyone out and Arco and I will wear him down, leaving Vanheim/Arco with 1/3 the map and Lanka/Abysia with 2/3rds.

Re: Kailasa
 

Just post here to say goodbye everyone. We had nice team work, Wokeye. Eliminate TC, Niefel, Kailasa and Caelum one by one, unfortunately I am not able to see the end. I'll try to find a new partner for you. Wish you good luck.

Re: Kailasa
 

What? Your're off? Oh well - thanks for the game Everz!

Please pass the sub my email so we can devise some wicked team strategies.

Re: Kailasa
 

Hey! I'm the sub for everz (Lanka)! Figured I'd post here to let the admin know that my email is palindrones (at) gmail (dot) com, in case he can set this up or whatever. I also sent a PM to llamabeast but I'm not sure how involved in this game he is. Thanks!

Re: Kailasa
 

Llamabeast took care of it! Unfortunately Lanka passworded his game, so I need to get that from him...hopefully he still checks his PMs!

AI players?
 

Have Mictlan and Agartha both gone AI??? Oh noes!

Sure RL happens, but what is it with people who cannot even let us know when they have to go AI?? It's very bad form not to let us know in advance, as it seriously changes the whole game!

On another note, I forgot to submit my turn again (even after completing it)...dang...nvm.

3 hours is not enough notice for a reminder for me - I get the message at work, with no way to fix it. Anyone know if we can we change the 'send reminder email' timer to be like 24 or 12 hrs before a game turn is hosted?

Re: AI players?
 

Im sorry about that. I missed a couple turns and got routed by Vanhiem. Tough stuff. This was my first game in over a year, so I am sorry if I did forget some politeness!
gomen nasai!

Re: AI players?
 

Thanks Cerlin,

As you might appreciate after my little rant - players going AI can significantly alter the diplomatic environment of games, so IMO it is best to:
(1) ask for a delay in turn if it is just one event;
(2) get a sub if possible; or
(3) give at least give a turn or three warning before flicking the 'beat up allies with stupid AI' switch.

I thought Mictlan was pretty strong, oh well...

We're down to a five-horse race, now!

Re: AI players?
 

The last Kailasan fort falls. Soon the yellow monkeys will be gone from Agouti.

Re: AI players?
 

I think you and Lanka are going to kill Arco and I....we got really hammerred by agartha for a while before I got lucky. Anyway, it will be fun to see what all these high level spells do.

Re: AI players?
 

Abysia and Lanka agree to a truce with Arco and Vanheim until advice is issued three turns prior to hostilities occurring.

Re: AI players?
 

Those damn Agarthan AI elephants have stomped a few abysians into the dirt. Stupid pachyderms.

Vanheim/Arco - how far are you guys from eliminating the AI nations? I'm just wondering if we should open up World War 2 soonish. Shall we say 6 turns (ie hostilities on Turn 66)?

Re: AI players?
 

I think Arco and Vanheim are giving up. I (Arco) am still struggling to defeat the AI opponents, and Vanheim seams to have staled and dropped contact for a week now. Unless Vanheim replies soon, I'm saying WE SURRENDER!

Re: AI players?
 

OK, we'll await word from Reinselc?

Re: AI players?
 

Any news from Reinselc, MAJ_Disgrace? Will you guys be playing on, or closing up shop?

Re: AI players?
 

No news. I haven't heard from him in 2 weeks. Its over. Good game, although I didn't run into you two except one of the 4 times my pretender died was in a brief encounter with Abysia. My pretender died in the second turn of the game, and Vanheim bailed me out a few times against Agartha or I would have been eliminated early.

Re: AI players?
 

OK then - GG. Thanks MAJ_Disgrace, Reinselc, Cerlin and Gowb for stepping in for Everz.

I'll PM/email Llamabeast to let him know we can close this game off when he pleases.
