Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Heh. Yeah, this was *not* a good turn for the home team. Abysia's battle was wierd; when I play the battle back, I see my Attack-Rear undead horsemen get caught just *past* the gates, stuck on...nothing. At all. Strange...

Much, much nastier was the loss of most of an entire army up north, trying to take out an Agarthan castle. Summoned Agarthan statues blocking the only, narrow entrance = *BAD THING*. Abysia's battle was a lucky shot. Agartha's battle was a bloody nose. ; )

As I said, I'm not as powerful as I look on the graphs.

I'm already recovering, and I'll get you in the end, Agartha! But just to add insult to injury, my only random events this turn--despite *Luck 3*--were the loss of a temple and the loss of 200 gold. I think I'm going to go sit in the corner and sulk for a while...; )

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Indy,

I love castles. Anyway. My replay is showing your army has three of my sacreds. Where did you get those? Did you enlsave them and I just missed it?

I also enountered a really strange bug. I paused the game while watching the replay for about 30 mins. When I came back and tried to resume and it froze. So I hit q and then the wierd stuff started. It was as if the province map were very close to the left of my screen and to the right was sky (a blue field taht looked like sky). It was as if you were looking at a dominions globe or something. It was really trippy. Had to shut down the game to get it working again.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Where the heck are the underwater mercernaries in this game? I haven't seen a one pop up yet. I've got all this cash sitting in the "save for mercernaries" account, but nobody is showing up for hire.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Hmm. The fishlike creatures of Oceania are a surly bunch. Even while dying, they throw a sucker punch at us. We think they will make good war slaves.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

hi i have a travel from today until the saturday i find a sub is thorin he takes control.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Sounds good thanks fro finding a sub. Welcome thorin!

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Feliz Viaje!

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Seda, your sub is staling. Alas!

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

seda's sub seems to be a no-show.

Do we want to postpone the game until seda returns or thorin shows up? He did try to get a sub.
He is at war and three stales in a row would be brutal.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I am fine with postponing regardless...*shrug*

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I have taken the liberty of PM'ing Velusion asking for a 72-hour delay this turn, while keeping Quickhost on in case Seda comes back before then. (I don't think Velusion is monitoring this thread very closely any more.) Hopefully he will get the message before this turn pops...

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I suggest a pause for easter. For seda and me and perhaps others will be doin family business too...

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I shot Velusion a PM last night asking to postpone hosting until Seda returns.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Unfortunately, it seems he didn't get it.
New turn is up.

In other news: Man needs a Hammer. At least one. I've got Nature, Death and Air gems and/or items to trade for it. Some Astral as well. PM me with a price.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Well, time to AI them then.

I have no problem with a pause for Easter.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

AI who?

Just because seda's sub didn't work out, is no reason to AI. Especially if we're pausing for Easter anyway.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I just got the message and changed it.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Machaka, I guess. Hey, we're in the water here. We have no idea what is going on topside. I'm just saying that if Machaka truly has staled 3 turns in a row, that calls for an AI.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

sorry im here seems that my sub had a problem turn submited.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

R'lyeh is interested in buying water gems. We have Air, Nature and Earth gems to trade, or we are also willing to just buy them with gold. Please PM me if interested.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Shouldn't we be back to a 24 hour cycle?
Xox, Indypendant are you out there?

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I am kinda liking it not being a 24 timer myself. Perhaps we could move it to 48?

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

48 would be an improvement over the 96 or whatever timer it is on now.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Agreed. This 72 hour stuff is tooo long

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

If Ermor would please take it's turn.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Hrm. I've never seen this much impatience in a MP game before. Weren't we on a 72-hour timer before? If so, it's been 36 hours since the last turn. My god, I'm such a laggard. I took an extra half a day to get my turn in! Unforgiveable! ; )

Turn's up.

I don't think I can maintain a 24-hour timer anymore. I don't need a 72-hour timer though; 48 would be fine. If we do reduce it, please not less than 48.

Edit: Ah, looks like it's 48 already. That's fine.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

We were only on a 72 hour timer to allow a delay over Easter Weekend, before that we were on 24. I've seen games never start moving again after a delay, thus the nagging. We're going again, all is good.

I don't mind going to 48. I don't need it, but then I'm not overrunning half the world.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

48 Sounds fine to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Tithonos was bored. Bored, bored, bored. Even admiring his muscles in the reflections of pools had ceased to thrill him. Furthermore he had a headache. And who wouldn't with all those damn Maeneds running about, frothing and yelling. That at least was a problem he could do something about..

Tien-Chi your number is up.

Please expect party guests on turn 44.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

to Ermor:

ouch... fool me once. Learned my lesson there. If you want in you gotta come get me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Heh. Aww...I suspect your capital's going to be a particularly tough nut to crack. Ah well.

I was wondering why you placed your statues at the rear, though; the only thing I can think of was to keep my cavalry from using their lances on them. It was still a surprisingly close battle! At least most of what I lost were chaff cavalry... ; )

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I hope your right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Even I am wondering why I put the golems back there, I don't think I gave it much though. I certainly did not mean to put my archers up front like that.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Ouch, Oceania. You killed four of my Asp Turtles. We do not like that. Asp Turtles are very expensive. You will pay for that.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

To Ermor:

Please come inside! we have set quite the banquet for you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Hmm...

...okay.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Hope your undead hordes enjoyed eating that nature mage. I hear that they taste the best.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Heh. The slight delay was caused by my weakened army having to retreat for a turn to join reinforcements, thus avoiding Vanheim's attempt to pounce on them first.

...And you never specified *which* inside to come to...; )

He did taste good, for those few that were able to reach him. But we are quite content to let the rest of you sit and starve in your capital fort for a while. Rot and lean meat adds flavour!

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Fortunatly, Argathians don't starve. You could wait for us to die of old age. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Paging Ylvali, Paging Ylvali.

Please pick up the white courtesy phone. A message awaits you.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Courtesy phone answered.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

He was tired, very tired was Tithonos as he had just worked a long shift at the aluminum plant where they manufacture airplane parts. But he did not work at making pieces of airplanes, no he didn't..

To be continued.. (in a few days when I am less utterly exhausted and done at the aluminium plant)

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Surrender now Oceania, and we will agree to only lobotomize half of your remaining peoples. Refuse this generous offer, then all of your troops will become R'lyean brain fodder.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

The hooves of the dead trample the east of the world. The few Agarthans remaining make a last stand deep in their cave fortress. The Vanir fight valiantly, but the hundreds they return to their rest seem to be replaced without pause.

The tide of death must be stopped before it is too late. The Lord of Avalon declares his Pact with Ermor ended and calls on the other nations of the world to help stop him now.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

Argarthans do not eat. It is both a blessing and a curse, Sargon muses. At this point it is only prolonging their death. Their cave fort defenses were breached long ago by the hoards of unliving just outside. The constant cacophony of bone scraping stone drowns out all conversation. Each is left to his own nightmarish thoughts. No one has any real nightmares any more, because no one has slept in weeks. The noise combined with the threat of imminent invasion of undead is enough to keep even the humans without sleep. Sargon is no different. His huge pale body is slumped against his favorite setting stone. It offers him no comfort. His body is beginning to show signs of decrepitude.
Sargon ponders the end of his race. He wishes for a moment that Argarthans could weep like humans do. He angrily banishes the thought. It is their fault! How could my people be out bred by these awful smelling monkeys? Perhaps our demise is for the best. First we accept them into our caverns, the greedy little primates. But now we have accepted one as the true god. Wretched. She is only slightly older than me!, Sargon rages.

....more to come?

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

*sigh*

Will the dead ever know peace?

So be it. We now add Man to our ever-growing list our enemies. It is currently Turn 48. On Turn 51, we shall give the orders to our minions so that the war begins on Turn 52.

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

The forest loving peoples of Pangea have heard of the atrocities being committed against the great forests of the east and declare themselves to also be at a state of war with the hordes of ancient Ermor.

Sadly, the noble Spider-lovers of Machaka are between us so the aid we can render is but slight at the moment. Although if folks care to throw piles of earth gems our way we can cast quite a few economically devastating rituals.. (ooc I've site searched the bejeezus out of things and while we have an adequate income of nearly every other gem our earth income is a measly 3..)

Ermor is nearing a point where the sheer mass of troops, gems and mages will allow them to make an end grab for provinces and thus clinch victory.

We call on all able bodied nations to act now before it is too late.

Then you can kill me next!

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

The capitol of Oceania now belongs to R'lyeh. It should not be too long until their last rebel forces are defeated. We just hope it is not too late to save the topworlders. Beware. We could come up out of the sea anywhere.

Muuhaahha

Re: Priori - New MA Game (Sign Up Now!)
 

I hate to do this when I've just expanded the war, but I'm going to be away from computers for a long weekend. From Friday morning to Monday night.

I can try to find a sub, but since that'll likely be the opening battle of my new war, I'd hate to miss it.
Would people be okay with a delay? It should only be a turn or two.

I hope to be back in time to play Monday night, but if it's too late I might not be able to do it until after work on Tuesday.
