Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Before we can get back to sushi (mm, tasty!), am I the only person who can't connect to the server? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

I connected and downloaded the turn, but I can't connect any more at the moment.

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Oh, I am sorry. I noticed that the server let me stale although I thought that I played my turn. I took it down and it seems that I haven't brought it up afterwards. The server doesn't have my turn files on it at all, maybe I forgot to upload it after I prepared it. I guess I'll live with a stale turn then. Damn, my one chance of making sure that I get my sushi, taken away from me by such unfortunate circumstances...

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Bummer, staling is a drag, especially since it happened to you because of the weirdness associated with playing turns on the host machine.

If it makes you feel any better, I teleported my Squid out of the province. So it would have be 50-50 whether or not you would have caught it, I think.

The Squid lives!

That was my impression lately, too.
And you were right with this one. Not only Burden of Time, but Astral Corruption now as well... Does those serve Oceania any purpose? I'm asking because those are very self-destructive, I wouldn't cast them myself ever unless I'd be LA Ermor or something. First time I've encountered them in MP gaming, too.

Re: War
 

Oceania will never be slaves! We will fight those who would banish us under the waves, with spine and tentacle! And ink! The never-ending supply of wolves of Caelum will soon grow old and die, and Oceania will be paid in full in bones and mixed metaphors! And exclamation marks! Mu ha ha ha ha ha. ha. huh? (burble).

Edit: C'mon, at least mention I cast a simultaneous Gift of Health with my Burden of Time, so lurkers and casual readers will understand that I am merely insane, not suicidal.

Re: War
 

I've run a few quick tests and as far as I am aware, neither Gift of Health nor Boots of Youth had any impact on the effect of Burden of Time. So I fear that you are both, sire. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif

Re: War
 

Boots of Youth are no good versus BoT, I've seen that too. But while Gift of Health does not prevent old age, it does cure any afflictions from old age. I didn't test this, but I did see it in an SP game versus LA Ermor (who kindly spammed BoT every time I dispelled it).

Does the rate of affliction healing depend on dominion strength? Maybe in your test your dominion was not high enough?

Re: War
 

Timer reset for Arcoscephale so they have more time to think how they can deal with the annoying Astral Corruption by evil Oceania... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Oceania pleads not evil, by reason of insanity!
