Re: Disaster strikes
 

Jotunheim had nothing to do with the decision to attack Bandar. We counciled peace in thier regards, unless they became hostile. But now the lines are drawn, and we will abide by them.

We declare war on Bandar.

Re: Whollaborg
 

By the way, this is in regards to Man's lies about Jotunheim not delcaring war. This was many many posts ago before we even had a border with man.

War against the Mictlan
 

It has been a sad month.

Even if we defended our capitol succesfully, we faced a terrible loss as our mountain fortification in the former Tien Chi lands fell.

As Another of man's castles fell, there is not many left. This time it was a castle man intented and tried to defend. Dozens after dozens were the daughters of Avalon who fell this sad day. The high command of man had failed to bring forth a strom to ground the devastating flying hordes of the Mictlan. Failing in this failed the day.
Thus former lands of Tien Chi have been now completely lost to the bloody hordes. Aid from the Bandar Log is too late. We can see no much hope in their endeavour to help the world. Marakattas in the thrones of Joutunheim, R'lyeh and Agartha are idiotically still supporting the Mictlan which now has grown too strong for even it's numerous slaves to rebel against.

Agartha, the breakers of the oath of non agression pact sadden us for telling tales that they didn't have an alternative. The alternative was a dumb nation of giants that could have been toppled easily. Another and the only honorable alternative would have been disbanding the NAP with us before attacking as the honourable Bandar Log did with the Mictlan (and us, sic!). We hear rumours that Mictlan had learned from Agarthas mishonor and that they have attacked against the Bandar Log before the three months agreed in their non-agression pact had finished.

Zhukov

P.P.S. Jotnheim is itself the lying rogue if they claim that they were not in the peace with us before their sneak attack.

[A tattered parchment that has been archived by the man. It's FROM Jotunheim, a POSITIVE reply to our request to end the first futile war that Jotunheim declared to gain gift of gems or some other more banal gifts from the Tien Chi:]

Thank you for the offer. We are not interested in war right now either. However we will not sign a NAP with you.

May you never sweat

We have been in a war for long time and it's so exhausting to keep up fighting against so many a foe.



We are confident that our war against tien chi will be finished soon. Perhaps we two, Jotun and men, could bury the hatchet and smoke some grass to make a peace between our nations?

Re: War against the Mictlan
 

We give Man the benefit of the doubt, and assume Man is giddy from the devastating victory they inflicted on Mictlan at their capitol, and in their drunken stupor following their celebrations, they claim that Mictlan violated our NAP with Bandar.

This is completely false. Bandar first reduced our 6-month NAP to a 3-month NAP, and then Bandar cancelled the 3-month NAP. Mictlan had no NAP with Bandar this month, and we fully expected to see Monkeys flying in all directions across our borders. As a defensive measure, Mictlan dispatched several advanced reconnaissance patrols into Bandar territory. Those patrols encountered a couple fierce forwardly-positioned Bandar army groups right on the Mictlan border, so our suspicions appear not to be unwarranted.

Of course, it's possible Man is intentionally spreading lies about Mictlan ... but for now we will ignore the drunken Zhukov, and hope he sobers up by next month.

Re: War against the Mictlan
 

It is true, Mictlan broke no agreements. We had no intentions of attacking them, but we had broke all our NAPs, sick of sitting doing nothing. I suppose it is better to be annihilated in 2-3 turns than to linger on and wait for a winner to be declared.

Oddly enough, I think I may be playing with an outdated version or something of that nature. The battle reports do not link up to the battle replays.

Re: War against the Mictlan
 

FAJ, you have 3.15 yes? I have heard that the battle replay can happen even without a diffrence in version, its just more rare.

Re: War against the Mictlan
 

I have 3.15, but the some battles I saw in the replay did not match the results. At least one with a very different outcome.

AI
 

Mictlan may need to go AI in a few days. I've posted for a sub here but did not get any offers.

Re: AI
 

Dayam, this is soooooo tempting to replace vfb. Another crack at that lying bastard. I...just can't do it though. I still have too many games going atm, and I just don't have the time. : (

Re: AI
 

Not sure it'd be a great idea to let you take over anyway, Indy. Anyone else who's looking to avenge some sort of personal grievance can likewise please look elsewhere. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'd prefer a replacement who will have Mictlan's best interests in mind. The AI has that, at least, but its implementation of those goals is somewhat flawed. Unfortunately it will not respect Mictlan's treaties with other nations.

Re: AI
 

You can set yourself to AI then pick it up later? I didn't think you could do that.

In other news, I have set myself AI permanently.

Re: AI
 

You can't undo setting yourself to AI. I'm going to be unable to play for a month or two. I don't think this game's going to last that long, will it? So I think it's more of a perma-sub than a temp sub.

FAJ are you still the admin for the game?

Re: AI
 

Yes, I will still admin the game. Unless another player wants to take over for me.

Re: AI
 

Can you please put a couple of days on the timer? I think I've found a replacement, but he'll need to get familiar with the situation.

Re: AI
 

Hosting postponed for Forseti by 72 hours. The game will now host at 02:10 GMT on Friday May 2nd.

Replacement
 

Thanks! DryaUnda will be the new ruler of Mictlan.

Replacement? I\'d like to see VFB declared winner
 

I think that not many would stand any kind of chance against Mictlan as the nation of mighty blood has already conquered more than half of the map. (It would be totally different thing of course, if the nation would have been handed to a complete moron, but he's not allowed to creep in yet another time, hehee...)

Surrender of the Man,

The men have lost most of the lands and defenses they proudly had.

For the proud nation of man, It's time to step into the river. Priests of Zhukov will help he's followers to find another land across the shore before the priests themselves spill their blood to the Mictlan altars.
All who wish to join Zhukov in he's domain are free to do so.
Zhukov begs the Mictlan to let he's viscera lie in a hidden place as it has lied there for decades already, harming no one.
This would be considered as an act of mercy and response to our surrender to the might of Mictlan of the Jungles!
But we leave our viscera to your mercy.
We bow our head and serve You, if you wish yourself to be served by a humble lich with little working experience with frogs, thickskulled jotuns, r'lyeh and agarthian statues.

We hand our lands to your hands!
May your reign as the True Good,
May your thirst be fulfilled from the Ocean of Blood!
May your children breed with the Daemons,
May you prosper in a proper form of mayhem,
that suits;
You!

Zhukov

Re: Replacement? I\'d like to see VFB declared winn
 

Thanks Whollaberg!

Man sure put up a good fight, but I think I was lucky in diplomacy more than anything else. Us jungle cats got along very nicely with our giant, monkey, and alien neighbors. And you sure cleaned my clock when I stormed your home province! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

But there's no reason for the other players to stop the game now, if they're enjoying the game. I'm rooting for Mictlan to win, but I'm not looking for any fame and glory for myself.

Sorry I couldn't see it through to the finish.

Re: Replacement? I\'d like to see VFB declared winn
 

What do others think?

I don't have much motivation anymore. Or i could turn the man to ai as well?

W

Re: Replacement? I\'d like to see VFB declared winn
 

Sorry to be a burden, but I didn't get the current turn sent to me. Could somebody please send it?

UPDATE: Wait, never mind, I got it now.

Man went ai
 

Thank you all for the game in accordance your own deeds!

Thanks esp. to the VFB, who from my point of view, deserves all the praise he musters for he's splendid bless/magic/scales build, may we all learn from that
...And he really took us by surprise with he's crushing blow he had planned and then executed against us very boldly and succesfully. He's armies sailing across the ocean and landing on our unsuspecting army was a masterpiece action of warfare!
We never managed to recuperate fully from VFB's opening and merciless onslaught that rarely gave us time to breath even thou we managed to open few windows of opportunity against him.
Players of Tien Chi, Agartha, Jotunheim and R'lyeh should especially learn from he's tricks, few of you might have observed trough scouts etc.

May the rest of you still enjoy the game. We spotted one of the elemental royalities with the Agartha recently and you all still might be able to put up a fight against the mictlan if you wish to do so. Agartha should widen the repertuare of their combat casting and R'lyeh must find a way to stop the flying blessed eagle warriors if they (and the rest of you) try to challenge the New Mictlan! R'lyeh should have some nasty hoards of astral pearls in their pockets by now!
Perhaps there's lot of excitement still left to fight for in the game.

Man is now AI.

Cheers,
W

Re: Man went ai
 

That is a shame,

I just had a most bad assed battle in one of man forts, My troops routed them but could not kill thier tree lord. very funny.

Reminders
 

Could we set the reminders to 6 hours before each tick instead of 3?

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

Hey all!! sorry about disappearing! I mentioned it on the forums and I have moved to japan in the mean time. I have spent the last 3 weeks in training and with no internet. Im happy to see you are all fighting and I set myself to AI. I am deeply sorry I didnt do this sooner and Im very sorry if it slowed the game too much!!

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

Just got 3 diffrent turns 3 min apart. something is wacky with llama server? anybdy else experince this?

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

Something whacky did indeed happen. Haven't had a chance to work out what yet. I'll take a look this evening.

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

Thanks llama. take your time, we are deep into late game here. My turns take an hour or more....

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

Okay... that was a bit strange. Anyway, what I ended up having to do was roll back to turn 109 and rehost from there. So that's what I've done - you should all have new turn 110s now.

Hope that's okay (I think turn 110 is one you should be on, right? Epic game to still be running at turn 110!).

Re: Forseti--Accepting Pretenders
 

True, very epic. We all have 100 Seraphs by now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Turn Reminders
 

May we please set the turn reminders to six hours in advance?

Re: Turn Reminders
 

so, I dont think there is gonaa be a war. Were just gonna stare each other to death

Re: Turn Reminders
 

Ah good. Things are starting to get interesting. For a moment there, I thought I was going to have all the global slots uncontested http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Turn Reminders
 

could we have longer times turns? 72 hours?

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

llama made me admin.

I have noticed that big and scary has staled at least 5 turns in a row. He should be set on AI. I pmed B&S but have no reply. (B&S if you read this please PM me.)

How do you feel about it Dry?

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

You're thinking of ending this too?

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

Yes, but you didn't answer my question :) I prob didn't make it clear. Do you support me in the decision to set B&S AI? As I cannot get in contact with him, you are the only other player.

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

Oh, I missed your question (beginning of the semester and all).

To actually answer it, yes, setting B&S to AI would make sense.

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

Ah very good, I will see what I can do.

I am starting school too, very busy as well.

Good luck

Re: Forseti (Started)
 

Well huh. Forseti's acting as if I don't have a map file (Dom3 crashes when I try to load that specific game).:confused:
