Re: Turn Notifications?
 

If you're looking for a solution how to actually do this, I already had this implemented for a game of mine on the community server. It's a PHP file in the main web directory.

New turn
 

I have finally won a big battle against Mictlan, breaking a siege on one of my castles. Several SCs died/got banished on both sides, but the enemy army of 190 sacred bats and other troops is no more.

Unfortunatly Mictlan is still growing in all graphs, even on an army one, using his huge blood income to compensate for any losses in troops.


One good factor for me is that the Inferno is getting full quickly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I am getting back my SC commanders that were send to Inferno by Mictlan Lord, and it is happening faster and faster. This turn I got two of my fully equiped and woundless SCs back (Tartarian and a Demon) that were send to Inferno during the last 2 turns.

I like this feature - the more often Banish to Inferno or Claws spells are used, the less effective they are.

Nevertheless Micltan is still pressing me very hard, but at least now I am starting to fight back more efficiently.


By the way AdmiralZhao, are you selling tickets to all our big battles?!? Over the last 3 turns, whenever you and me had a big clash, I saw a someone peeking with an Astral Window, sometimes even two! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

If you have hot tickets trade business going, I want my cut, damn it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: New turn
 

Wow thats really keen Gandalf! Thanks for the info!

Re: New turn
 

Expletive expletive expletive!! Another lesson learned.. If you have two games coming down to the wire on time be sure to recheck which game is closest to hosting before doing either..

Sorry about the stale, I really don't mean to be a lame gamer.

Re: Rlyeh
 

As I understand it, two missed turns means getting set AI?
Fomoria and Oceania?

Re: Rlyeh
 

Formoria at least is interested in continuing the game; it sounds like the stales were just technical difficulties. I'm not sure if Oceania wants to continue or not.

Re: Rlyeh
 

Sort of. I'm opening up Oceania up for a substitute.

(Technical difficulties? I was wondering how I could miss two turns.)

If you are going to look for sub, I would encourage you to start a thread on this MP forum. Otherwise nobody is going to notice your intention. Meanwhile if you could make this turn it would be great, since it would give your future sub a nation in better shape.

(The next hosting will occur in 48 hours)

************************************************** ***

About the game - I have to say that this is one of the most challenging and balanced Dom2/3 game that I ever played over the last 3 years. My compliments to AdmiralZhao of Mictlan.

His forces are pushing my defences extremely hard. Many dozens of fully-equiped enemy tartarians and other SCs riding the endless tidal waves of hundreds of doom bats and sacred troops, backed by various high level mages and priests, slowly devour my land and my people, despite my best efforts to stop them.

Each turn brings 40-60 battles, 3/4 against Mictlan, the rest against his allies Fomoria and Oceania.

I am desperetly fighting for every inch of the land, but I am slowly losing castles to relentless Mictlan assault. Nevertheless my main defence lines are still holding, at least for now. What worries me the most is that despite terrible losses inflicted on Mictlan as a price for conquering my land, his forces keep growing while mine are getting smaller, according to graphs. The Mictaln has turned half of the map into blood farms to feed his enormous war machine, and between magical PD global enchantment and level 9 blood combat magic, his blood priests are very difficult to kill.


Nevertheless there is still hope for besieged Sauromatian Empire. I have managed to repell two major attacks by Mictlan on my southern castles over the last two turns, killing a lot of his SCs. And I still control enemy capital.

Also my troops fare much better against Fomoria and Ocenaia, as well as Marveni's AI. However these allies of Blood Lord still distract the large part of my forces. Fomoria is especialy troublesome, with their teleporting Kings SCs.

If I could concentrate all my avaliable troops against Mictlan without worring about his allies, I think I could fight him to the standstill. Alas, I doubt it is going to happen.


All and all, the global war rages on. The next few turns are going to be very interesting to watch.


P.S. If any of the remaining human players would like to share their views on the current situation in the game, it would be great. These AARs are often a lot of fun to read.

I have subbed this game away long ago. Fomoria is controlled by Rathar. So please send all messages about this game to him, not me. Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif <font color="red"> </font>
