Re: Setting to AI
 

Actually, that's impossible - no way will I pay $55 to finish off this game. It also implies that a game host requires two copies of the game, which I think is counter to the license agreement and Shrapnel/IW's intent. I know I've done this before, I just can't remember whether I did it from the server machine or client machine (although I think I did it from the client machine)

Re: Setting to AI
 

I guess the reasoning is that if more than one nation in a MP game is using the same key, then they are sharing a copy of the game, thus pirating it. If the master password would ignore that, then they could all just use the master password to play their turns. I don't really know, though.

Re: Setting to AI
 

R'lyeh now set to AI.

Re: Setting to AI
 

Just Helheim to do his turn now.

Come on Ich, just move your tartarians and other assorted badasses outward in a ever expanding circle until you have conquered the world! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Well I was already bored with this game, but now I'm getting screwed.
I'm not exactly in the best position at the moment, but I'm staying alive. Now that Ry'leh is set to AI, I couldn't help but notice that he has 2 armies now moved to my border.
And we have a NAP.
So basically...my final stand against Mictlan is pretty much screwed.

So I suppose you can find me a replacement, or I can set myself to AI.

I'm all for conceding to Helheim.

Fun fights though Hellboy!

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I don't see myself making the effort to find a replacement, unless someone objects, I think it's ok for C'Tis to go AI.

Personally, I think Helheim won this game a long time ago, due to lack of a coordinated effort against the obvious leader. But I have little direct visibility on Helheim, and I'm still having fun, so I'm willing to play on as long as others want to.

Thanks! I had fun too, and I've certainly been impressed by the effectiveness of your horde of sauromancers. They've kept me thwarted for altogether too long!

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I don't know about the other nations that much to be able to confirm it, but I guess it's true. I have finished research on some schools and the others will soon follow. I'll complete my collection of the Elemental Royalty this turn, it seems like I'm the only person with unique items, too, and I now have a strong foot in Blood aswell.

I will play along as long as people want me to and have fun with the game. Sorry for not rushing you with Tartarians already, Meglobob, but I still have to forge some gear for them before sending them out. qm didn't seem to receive any opposition so there was no need to equip them so far(?).

I'm having an eye on the timer and I'll do my turn, but it will probably take me some time. The turns for this game do cost me hours... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Alright I'm AI. Have fun guys!

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Helheim is the most likely winner of this game but he still as to prove this on the battlefield, so far all he has done is build quicker and faster than anyone else.

If myself Niefelheim, Ulm, Caelum, Mictlan and Marverni all agreed to hit Helheim repeatedly with every nasty piece of magic we have got, raid his lands and put up serious armies to fight him. We, all combined could perhaps destroy him. It does not even after be co-ordinated, just relentless turn after turn. Btw if we can not do this there is no point in ever playing MP again where Helheim is controlled by a good player such as Quantum Mechani. Both of hellboys games Blood Bath and Middle Way prove that. Which is very sad... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

All the remaining players bar Helheim should agree not to fight each another until Helheim is utterly destroyed. Then the rest of us will have a fairly equal chance of winning and we could have a normal game.

Tartarians, elemental royalty, all the unique items yea Helheim/Ich should win but we should make him earn it or it will be the cheapest win in Dominions history

I have already decieded Nefelheim will fight to the death or near death... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif I am nowhere near powerful enough to defeat Helheim on my own, my entire strategy revolves around defense and as done since I relised how powerful Helheim was.

C'mon guys we have a duty to put up a solid fight vs Helheim.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

The high number of provinces per player was a mistake. It never really turned into a 'blood bath'. More of a turtle soup.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

My laptop has finally broken down after being jumpy for some weeks. I played the current turn with my windows workstation (yech), but I might have a little trouble to get the next couple of turns in until I have a replacement. Plus, I will be in Austria from this to the next weekend. I'll try to keep up, just wanted to warn that I might have too much on my schedule that I could lag, especially if you really all decide to attack me now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I agree with your characterization of the result, but disagree regarding the cause. Dominions 3 is still, imo, an interesting game w/ big, spacious maps but it does require a different style of play than on smaller maps.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Any chance of a short extension?

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I will have to ask for an extension over the weekend, too. I will be travelling the whole day on Sunday and I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get back at the game.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I'll reset the server tonight. lch, no worries, I'll make sure you don't stale.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Meglobob, are you with us? I'll reset the server, but it'd be good if you took your turn before lch goes out of town.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Done it!

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Sorry, I won't be able to do my turn this week, I'm on a conference and there's a high constant workload. I could maybe get to it on Sunday.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

So, what's going on lch? I'll postpone until tomorrow night, but it'd be good to get this show on the road.

BTW, I will be mostly out of action between 7/1 and 7/10, I may get a turn or two in durng that period, but it'll hit and miss.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I arrived at home yesterday. Didn't have time to prepare my turn before and didn't have the energy to do so yesterday, but I have devoted today to catch up. I'll play my turn within some 20 hours.

Thanks for your patience.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Sorry for the delay, I played my turn. The message screen tells me that one of my globals has been dispelled, but not what it was. Can anybody help jog my memory here?

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Uhm, do we have a 24 hour timer now!?

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

It says 64 hours on my screen.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Hellboy must have extended it, it was down to 17 hours with no turns in a couple of hours ago.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

This game should still be going when Dom 4 comes out! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

Should we make that our objective? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yes, obviously I extended the timer, I was adding 24hrs extensions for lch. Unfortunately my schedule is becoming very difficult now, and will remain so through 7/10. Depending on how things go, I may be extending the clock again. I really don't know how many turns I'll be able to get in for the next 1 1/2 weeks.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I haven't been able to connect to the server for the past three days. Anybody knows what's up? I'm sorry for the really slow pace but preparing the turns for this is literally taking me AGES. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I haven't been able to connect either for the past 2 days I think.

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I'd assumed that this game had ended. How's Ulm doing?

Re: Blood Bath - EA Glory of Gods [Recruiting]
 

I'd be glad if we would call this game over without neglecting anyone. Helheim has now researched everything there is to research and I have to bring my mages to the front lines... insane micromanagement. Having two players gone AI screwed this up a little, too, I think - R'lyeh immediately went for Oceania. I'd like to get backups of the game files for the last five turns or something, because with the stuff that Helheim has at his disposal, and a number of opponents to spar with it would be perfect to use the setup for test games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
