Pause the game?
 

Question: how will taking quickhost off make it any the more possible for the Dawg to take his turn in time, when he has no power?

Pasha did equip me with his password for the contingency that you wouldn't pause the game, so I suppose I'll do this turn for Sauromatia... But you should maybe put the game on quickhost-only until such force majeure reasons as storms have been dealt with http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Pause the game?
 

Sorry I meant the timer off.

Which, of course, I immediately forgot http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Uggh, curse my swiss cheese memory!! This is like the third time I've bungled it now.

Ok, I am writing it on my hand *right now* so that I cannot forget!

Re: Pause the game?
 

What if you pour some hot coffee on your hands and, while washing it off, remove the writing?

<Sigh>
 

Well, for a group of global enchantments that are supposed to be catastrophic, it seems that very little has happened.

Those blood slaves could have been put to far better use.

Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

The effect of those enchantments is gradual. Since they use slaves and not gems they are very hard to dispel. I predict Niefelheim must be invaded and the caster killed, soon, if anyone other than Niefelheim wants any hope of winning.

Astral Corruption favors blood nations, and pretty much prevents new globals from being cast. Any nation that uses magic lots will suffer lots. Is there any nation that wont suffer at this point? Abysia has not invested much into blood, this global is not in our favor.

The Looming Hell makes it very hard to invade Niefelheim, as their lands have high dominion with heavy devil attacks.

Giants with bonus hit points? Come on, do I need to say more. Luckily, this can and must be dispelled. It is not a question of slaves vs gems, but gems vs gems.

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

I'm all for invading niefelheim! Whoever fights them will get extra cash, gems, items, etc. Just let me know and I can set up a support plan.

Who neighbors them?

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Yomi, Vanheim and Agartha border Neifelheim to the south and east. Buy some scouts.

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Yes! Yes! If anyone invades Neifelheim, I'm totally there!

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Hm i profit somewhat from Malthus globals, unfortunately too late though for me, i am slowly dying because i totally underestimated the power of those wind rider hordes.

200 wind riders are hard to deal with without having a normally for mictlan typical dual/triple bless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Eh I'm pretty ambivalent about Niefel's summons. Worst is I can't make stuff for my onis. My income is slightly wracked by my growing upkeep expenses though ... Yomi's troops really are a tad overpriced when it comes to commanders.

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Timer is now turned off at Pasha's request.

Sorry about forgetting last turn Pasha! Hope your power comes back on soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Niefelheim must be destroyed
 

Arco shares Neifelheim's western border.

For now we use our resources dealing with Mictlan who attacked without warning a number of turns ago. They have found that indeed massed wind warriors with the right bless and good protection spell can be very hard to defeat.

We will give gems to anyone who is willing to dispel the Giants globals.

No Internet for Pasha
 

Hi:

I now have power but no internet, and it could take several days. I have sent a PM to Jurri asking him fill in for me for the time being.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

(I ran to the public library to send this.) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

Ok, the timer is back in effect then, starting now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

In future games i won't attack Arco GE again as carelessly ;(.

Another victory for the Arcosians, though this time we at least inflicted some casualities and improved our loss-kill Ratio from 100:1 to ca. 10:1. So at least some success http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif.

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

Chip, chip, chipping away at your armor, FAJ. How much longer can you survive?

I do have to say, tho, that Death Mages are probably the most irritating mage to try and pry out of a castle.

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

You could beat me, i dont know why you keep sending in your forces half assed. Are you sending everything else to the jotuns?

My lower caslte has like, 6-7 mages and 2 infantry. Im sure you can manage to take it. My capital doesn't have much more.

if you dont kill me soon ill have to alchemize my gems to death gems and you wont get any spoils of war!

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

The Nation of Pangaea will attempt to replace the Giant's Gift of Health with one of its own.

Re: No Internet for Pasha
 

A few more horror attacks for me and another giant raid but the globals still seem somewhat weak. Last game Ermor cast 4 thematic globals and it was game over for us all. Shrug.

Rathar

Internet for Pasha
 

I am back!

Thank you to Jurri for filling in for me.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Nah, you underestimate your power, FAJ. My first attack on your capital clearly showed how brutal Shadow Blast / Clouds of Death are. Sending my men in without a plan would be committing suicide (twice!). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Fear not, the assault crew is on the way.

As for the attack at the southern fort, that was a cheap shot to see if I could take it. If my mages hadnt run out of spell script they'd have killed all your sauro's and I'd have won. It was worth trying.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Lucky you, Im gonna be away for the weekend. I won;t ask for a pause of game because I have like, 2-3 provinces left.

Ill set myself AI after this turn.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Grrrrr, 2 of my best equipped mages just got eaten by horrors. That was a really costly dispel on the Gift of Health. Theoseus and Uranotheus, your sacrifices will not be in vain!

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Vanheim is no more. Agartha has snuffed the final candle of the Vanir empire.

The king is dead! Long live the king!

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

I am soooooooooooooooo f-ing tired of Shadow Blast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

did the AI script that too? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif:D:D

gogo shadow-blasting prophet!

last accelerated start game I took huge death on my god and filled him with pen items for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. He also had the generate 2 death gems a turn trait http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Oh, heh look at that. Actually I lost because you *didnt* cast shadow blast in this case http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I put all my chaff out front and then your AI didnt kill them so they plugged up the gate trying to rout. Sigh. I'm done with this excuse for a war, im going to preach the rest of CTis out

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

So, is anyone but me fighting Niefelheim at this point?

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

I didnt even know you were? You should PM me and I will send you money and gems!

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

For a few turns now.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Is Neifel at war with Agartha too?

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

For future games i request to not place capitols in forest provinces. I am defenseless vs. getting abused with beckoning.

34 units disappeared, among them a 101 blood expensive Onaqui http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Hm the game seems to have crashed when it tried to host after i submitted my turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif.
At least it seems i cannot connect anymore http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Yeah its down. I got the "old version" crash message when I checked it this morning.

Boron, I removed your turn submission and the server was able to start again. Did you re-install and forget to upgrade to 3.06? The server is back up now. Make sure you have the right version and then re-do you turn.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Hm i have 3.07 test candidate, thought that patches are compatible downwards and only give slightly false battle replays worst case.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

That must be what it is. No, dominions 3 does this stupid thing where it crashes the server (not the client!!!) when there is a version mismatch. Apparently that was not fixed in the 3.07 client. Anyway, just use your old version - please dont try and connect with the new one now, I'm at work and will not be able to restart the server.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Ok installed a 3.06 copy. Sorry for all the trouble, seems my memory was either wrong or it was changed for Dom3. From old Dom2-times i remember that it worked to play e.g. a 2.12 game with a 2.14 patched Dom, it only lead to wrong battle replays sometimes.

Doing my turn now and everything should work again.

Re: Internet for Pasha
 

Yeah in dom2 the versions were backwards compatible to some extent. But in dom3 they just crash the server. Really dont like that.

Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Aren't witches suppose to have a healing ability? Also any who died wanna try their hand at using Yomi? I have WoW and between that and exams, this game is seriously getting lackluster. The position's pretty easy to defend considering I have fortresses at almost every province (had no other real use since Yomi's troops are pretty poor) Not at war with anyone but message me before I submit this turn or post here!

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Wow, never seen Kirgi Slave to Unreason before. That is one mean Horror.

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

screenshot???

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Looks like Niefel giants make pretty pretty torches when you hit them with a Pillar of Fire. In other news, Soul Slay will kill even a Doom Horror with some luck.

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Darnit, I should have. Sorry. But I'm sure I'll see him again. Mumbada has drawn the wrath of Eater of Gods and now Kurgi.

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Kurgi just ate Rathar. Immortal=good..

Rathar

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Having the capital in a forest is supposed to be an advantage, because you get so many extra resources, and it automatically turns what is normally a low-income province into a very high income one. By the time you are facing beckoning, having your capital bombarded with artillery spells is just a fact of life. Would you rather have it on a coastline and get pelted with hurricanes? Beckoning is level 6, and at that same tech level, dome spells are available.

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Oh yeah, I forget to add. Another note for whoever is subbing for me, the dai onis to the northern defenses are to be scripted with resist fire in their script as well. I'm not sure if they're already scripted with them or not. Too lazy to check. =\

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

We need a sub for Yomi. Anyone interested should PM me. Pass along the invite if you know a friend who might be up for it. I would hate to have a power vacuum at this point in the game.

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Bah, Ironhawk! We should just let Yomi go AI. Then you and I and Kailasa can carve them up! Sort of like the Ottoman Empire after WW1.

Pasha

Re: Anyone want to replace Yomi?
 

Hahhahah! Yomi == The sick man of ManaBurn.

Sadly I cant even carve up the AI remains of CTis, I dont think I'm going to be much use against an ai Yomi
