Turn 53 is up.

Re: Manikin Madness
 

Turn 54 and Haunted Forest has been dispelled. While I'm extremely pissed, I do know I'm far from dead.

I have another surprise comming and whoever dispelled me spent a lot of astral gems, and that's always good to know.

Damnit, I want some credit. I'm having my *** kicked, and yet I am still playing this game. I know Callistas does not particpate in this forum, but I ams still fighting him to the best of my abilities. Hail Vanheim... send some troops my way.

Re: Credit
 

Kudos for a brave fight, Lingchih! Never give up!

Re: Credit
 

It's fall in the year 5 of the Ascension War.

I guess Rev. Zombie forgot to post a note here when he started taking his turn.

Re: Credit
 

Sorry for the questionable language. I was a bit frustrated. Anyway, I'm going AI next turn. Man is about to take my capitol, and I have nothing left to put up a fight with. Enjoy the gifts everyone.

Re: Credit
 

New turn is up! Not sure if Man took his turn or missed it.

New turn is up! I guess Callistas took his move.

Turn 58 is up.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

24 hosting resumed!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

New turn!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Ermor is no more a master of the dead than C'tis.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Hm.

What are you TALKING about?

Was there some contact between the nations of Ermor and C'tis?

Was there a global spell event that I missed?

Inquiring flaming heads want to know!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I have no idea what he means either. So far as I know there is still no contact between Ermor and C'tis. Maybe it simply means that he's managed to research undead mastery or started making Tartarians or something.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I wonder what those two things are.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif Heheheh, it's a hint of what's to come.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Next turn is up.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Argitoth: what Version of Dominions 2 are you running on the server? I just watched a battle against independents in which about 13 of my units were killed, but at the end of the battle it reported that only 3 of my units were killed. This kind of disparity normally happens if the client is running a different Version than the host. However, I'm running 2.14 -- the latest publically available patch. Any idea what's going on?

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

maybe you should try reinstalling dom2. take all the files you need first.

but im definitely running the latest patch.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I just double-checked to see if this was really happening. I started a battle against independents with 10 flagellants. During the battle, 7 died, leaving 3 flagellants. After the battle, I had all 10 again.

Actually it seems unlikely that I could have won that battle without losing any flagellants even if the die rolls were different.

I have not heard that re-installing Dom2 has any effect, and I don't know where my CD is. I will ask on another thread for help.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

The next turn will be up in a few minutes!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Server appears to be down?

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Server is still down. I e-mailed Argitoth on gmail but I suppose he is asleep. I'm going to sleep myself now. Hopefully Argitoth will stop the game before I stale.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Server is still unreachable by me.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Me too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

hey the server has been working for a while. both of you happened to try to login while my internet wasn't ... working... or something.

im not hosting until all turns have been taken.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

<font color="blue">That's weird. My WAN IP changed after my internet came on
again. Sorry it took so long for me to figure this out. Next
time send multiple e-mails. Spam me if you need to.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I guess now we know what Argitoth means about being a master of death...

I've considered casting Well of Misery myself but I suspected that you guys would just shoot it down.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Why shut it down? Doesn't it improve my economy?

Hey Argitoth: thanks!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

24 Hosting restarted.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Actually, I would like to request a permanent shift to 48 hours QH if all the other players agree. Currently, I need about two hours to do a turn in this game, and Last night I had to go to bed at 1 am to complete the turn.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I was thinking 48 hours quickhost would be good.

I have a job, a family, a new house, a new Athlon64 server, and I *used* to have other hobbies.

Maybe Argitoth will suddenly destroy my entire nation with his pile of miserable death gems and I'll suddenly have some more free time.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

<font color="blue">You will now have 48 hours to complete
your turn. Good luck.</font>

sorry for taking so long on that Last turn.

doomsday device
 

What good is a doomsday device if you don't TELL anyone!?

My shiny new deterrent is the spell "Doom". As far as I can tell, it is impossible for any attacker to avoid being cursed if he attacks my territory. So don't try it!

Also, my diligent national defense mages are practicing up on the spells of Blindness, Seven Year Fever, and Horror Mark.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

everyone who hasn't moved is currently connected, so new turn soon!

edit: false alarm -- Deccan disconnected without committing his turn.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Sorry to have kept you waiting, but I simply logged in to download the latest turn to do it offline. This time it took more than 2 hours.

As for game news, I'm now moving against Man. My NAP with TC is still holding, but it can't be a good thing that I'm catching three or four TC scouts in my territory every turn.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

T'ien Ch'i. You will pay for touching my homeland. Prepare yourself for total annihilation.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

whee! new turn!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Yes, and T'ien Ch'i doesn't heed my warning. I will destroy his pretender.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

You said "prepare for total annihilation." I am prepared.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Oh, lol!

Don't worry. I have PLENTY of death gems now that Well of Misery has been cast. By the time you meet my army created from pure death gems, your army will be half dead... or half alive. It all depends if you think the glass is half empty... or maybe half full?

TURN 66

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Turn 67 should be up. I won't upload again tonight. Too late for that.

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

Wow, I seem to have enslaved Man's Bane Lord prophet. Now I have two prophets, one a non-commander. I wonder if I should GOR him or keep him as my pretender's personal bodyguard...

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

<font color="blue">I had to temporarily move the computer out
of my room. The server is now up! I'll give Man 15 hours to
take his turn.</font>

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

TURN 68!

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

TURN 69!

Now I question; am I to be defeated by T'ien Ch'i?

Re: MP Game - All Welcome [4/7 slots] *UPDATE 2*
 

I'm about to leave to go to the airport, so I won't make my move for around 24 hours or more. I'm going to attempt to download the turn data by connecting and then hitting "Quit without saving". If this accidentally commits a useless null move for me, could you please turn off quickhost until I connected later and upload my actual move?
