Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Oddly enough, nothing happened for me last turn, including not moving a large army away from another large army. I'm not sure if it was just me being a dunce (entirely possible I admit!) or if it was something to do with my computer playing two turns. I think it's the former htough...

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

oh, btw - that message I was trying to send to marignon - i didn't have marignon as an in game message option for some reason. I couldn't be bothered looking into it so i just sent to everyone.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

i had just gotten the new turn and was checking what had happened, in the overview map and the battle report it had said that i had lost a battle, but in the actual battle replay, I had won that battle

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Yeah, I can confirm the issue. Quite annoying.

I tried rehosting the turn on my home computer and didn't get the same bug though, which is annoying because it means there's no point sending the files to JK. However, I saw how your guys could easily lose. If any of the T'ien Ch'i lances reached them without having first been blunted on your troops, they cut your SCs down horribly quickly.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

but they bless themselves first turn, and then they started to buff themselves, what is really strange is that my guy got the affliction from the battle which is actually shown.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Yeah, this was weird. I watched the battle and was feeling all depressed...and then in the campaign level I had won.

It'll be temporary though. I don't have an answer to your SCs hunt.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Good game Agartha! You really put up a good defense and made me use a lot more mages in this war then I wanted to. And that suicidal earthquake I sure wasn't expecting - good move.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Guys, I am going to be gone Friday and Saturday, so should i look for a sub, or could you stall the game for me instead?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Sigh...still a lot to learn in this game. Set up a mind duel, my SC is higher astral than the opponents, even did communions for good measure, thought I had the ranges ok...and my SC decides to buff himself instead. And dies...again...sigh... What did I miss?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Communion does not boost magic duel, and range is 100.

Did you give your caster a pearl?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Can we turn quickhost off? Llamaserver keeps accepting my .2h file from the previous turn. I want to send the new .2h to see whether it'll stop. If it keeps accepting the old one after that, I would like to request delay until this is sorted out.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I am looking to buy a few dwaren hammers. Payment is available in a wide variety of items (up to constr6), all types of gems and money. Please PM me with your offers.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Someone (admin?) should make a thread looking for a sub for R'lyeh while they are still playable. They were doing well, it would be a shame for it to go to waste.

On another topic, I am still looking for hammers, so don't be shy with your offers.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Any word on what's going on with R'lyeh?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I asked Executor to take over R'lyeh and he accepted. I already sent PMs to both our admin and llama to switch R'lyeh to his email, so that R'lyeh doesn't stale for the 6th time in a row. If there are any objections, please say now.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Sorry I was a bit late on seeing this. No objections here. I noticed Tien Chi is staling as well but is still in a strong position. We may want to ask someone to take over that spot as well if he stales a few more turns.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Sure, thats fine with me.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Hello all,
I've taken over R'lyeh, and I see that I'm clearly in no winning position but I'm sure I can do some damage and turn the tides of war a little.
If anyone wants to trade astral gems for earth or fire, I'm your man. The price if 1.2 for 1 astral gem.
Anyone interested, PM me.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

WTF? Check out TC's forts graph.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

He borders me. They just popped up all over!

My theory: sitting on an acre of earth gems, just researched Wizard's Tower, had a big Wizard Tower-ing party.

Net benefit? No idea.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Not likely, since he staled the last two turns.

Also, looks like we'll need a sub for Mictlan as well

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Aye sorry, work has taken me away from dominions in the most dramatic manner. I apologize for giving no notice and for not being able to find a sub on my own. Goodluck to those who remain, I had fun. :).

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Unless something has changed I am subbing for Mictlan, if you have any diplomatic agreements with Mictlan could you send me the details.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

You are in charge of Mictlan now hunt11. I delayed the game, so you have full 48h to do your turn.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Guys, work is nuts right now (in a bunch of messy ways really). I've been trying to hang in so as to not give advantages/disadvantages, but with all my stales I don't think I'm helping things. It's been fun - and educational - but I've gotta turn to AI.

Cheers,

James.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

On hunt11's request game is delayed until after new year.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I didn't ask for it, but I'm glad for the delay. Thanks for being on top of it hunt11 and psycho.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Are any of you sending a fighter to the arena?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I will

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Wasn't planning to.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Come on, it'll be fun. You don't have to send a Tartarian, just send somebody.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Ok, will do. Come on big money big money, no slave collars...

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Tichy, we had the same tactic, it just that my guy was too scary for that Tartarian. Next time I'm organizing bets.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

That was the oddest thing I ever saw, one minute he is fine, but one lightning bast and he runs for the hills.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I softened him up. Totally.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Tichy, I hope you wouldn't mind me setting Rlyeh to AI now that you're attacking them.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Give me a turn, please, so I can move defenders into place. I'm looking ahead to the end-game. That border between you and I left you quite a bit of TC fish in a barrel for you to shoot, with me sitting tight while R'lyeh's misfortune dominion creeped towards me. So I needs to even the odds a touch.

By the way, have we lost the Mictlan player? If so we should AI both of them.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

It's OK to give you a turn to set your defenders in place, but don't use the extra turn of Rlyeh staling to take over more of his provinces. I fought with AI Tien Chi all the time. I didn't attack while he was staling.

I didn't even notice Mictlan was staling. I've sent him a PM as well. I also postponed this turn for 24 hours so it doesn't host before I hear from him.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

OK -- Point taken, although I can't imagine there's been much to TC's AI lately. Even the last few provinces I took from him turns ago it was just throwing chaff at me.

I got bored, and I wanted to push back the misfortune dominion. All I've been doing the last few turns was retaking provinces lost to barbarian hordes. I was expecting Mictlan to finish researching and then make a move on one of us...not vanish.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Sorry about stalling, but I sent my turn in and I will not stall again.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Executor promised to turn Rlyeh to AI on next turn.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I am traveling tomorrow, so I've delayed the game by 24h. I hope nobody minds.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

I am going to have less time for dominions for a while. And since we are well into late game, I though of starting a motion to move to 72h turns. Anyone in favor?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

That's fine with me.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

OK, two votes in favor, one abstained, we move to 72h.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Would anyone object to postponing this turn for 48 hours? I am going to have a busy weekend.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

no problem

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Hey guys: I said ok to one 48 hour push back. This is now the *third* one. Are we still playing?

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - Game On!
 

Mictlan complained that his computer broke down and asked for an extension for all his games in a separate thread. Yes we have delayed this game a lot, but I can't let him stale in this critical moment. I'll PM him to see why is it taking so long.
