Where are all the sites? With gems????????????????

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Underneath those big indie armies!

Not much point site searching for the pitiful 1 gem site you find every now and again!

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I think this is related to Holy War. Each interesting temple site = 1 less gem site. There seem to be quite a few temple sites around, according to my priests.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Bother - I've found a couple of bugs with the mod. One looks like a minor mixup by the merge script (but isn't - turns out llamabeast's perl script was probably hit by GIGO), and while I was tracking that I noticed a second unrelated issue. Neither's a gamebreaker, but the second might inconvenience a couple of (otherwise rather lucky, from the looks of it) people at some point. A fix will follow confirmation by the original modder of exactly how much needs fixing - the issue does not currently affect me in this game and cannot advantage anyone, so I see no need to delay turn generation pending a fix.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

For anyone paying attention, you'll note that R'lyeh lost the battle against Atlantis. But it was a morale victory for the star dreamers because we proved how damn amazing the mods are.

Holy light! It blinds everything! Including 480hp Squiddy pretender! Especially when you spam it! Shame Crushing Pressure is poo.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Going to need a delay until midday thursday as I'm moving. Probably won't need that long but with moving who knows.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Shall do. I'll put 72 hours on the clock once this turn has generated.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I think I need to post for a sub/AI for Oceania, come to think of it.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

That's probably a good idea, however their position is fruitless at this point, and a big dark storm is coming from the coast.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Going AI would be fine, and better than staling out.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

ok, i have taken over oceania, and if there are no objections, i will play them for a few turns instead of setting them to AI directly.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

What's GIGO?

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Yeah, I was also thinking of upping Crushing Pressure (perhaps taking away the "Frighten" effect and upping the damage). Water deserves to get some nice UW spells, since you know, it's water magic. What proved to be problematic about it?

But glad to hear that Divine Light worked out for you, althought it's just one of the level 3 niche spells. Now I'm just waiting for someone to lose a Tartarian to a "Hand of Judgement" :D .

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I think the 50 fatigue on Crushing Pressure is a bit much for a underwater only spell. I also didn't notice much of a Frighten effect on the dudes it was hitting.

Hand of Judgement would be NASTY if a Seraph or SC'ble sacred used it.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Garbage In, Garbage Out. The term is probably older than I am. There is what appears to be a typo in the mod, basically.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I'm going to AI, poor luck and a poor setup have killed me and it's just a slow decline from here as I'm at the losing end of a war. Also I found I really dislike Mid Agartha so I've no want to fight to the bitter end. Anyhow, luck to the rest of you except Shin who killed me.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Well, thanks for playing. It seems a shame though - barring the loss of a fort and army, your situation seems not too bad.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I found another bug in the mod file during an SP game. It gives a holy site the ability to recruit a SC chassis instead of a unique. As this is probably a Bad Thing, I'll post the fixed mod here. Llamabeast, could you post when you've updated this on the server so we know when to put it in place on our own copies of Dom3?

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Done.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Well it was my only army and my army production was supposed to be based on summonable troops by this point. Unfortunately this map seems devoid of earth sites so I would just be stringing along the fight until I was crushed.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

That is really unfortunate - gem distribution has been rather eccentric this time.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

It might have something to do with the Holy Sites in Holy War. They might be distributed a bit too thick (ideal would 1 per 4 provinces), but we'll see that more clearly later once more sites are found. My searchers have proven fruitful, anyhows, not that many holy sites in my vicinity.

If you have anything to report about CPCS or Holy War, would you mind posting your concerns in the appropiate threads (see signature for links)

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

What signature? :D

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

This signature, of course.

I'd have my eyes checked if I were you.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Ohh, that signature.

(cleans glasses)

What a nice signature it is, too. All muscular and hairy. It makes mine look somehow inadequate.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Hehehe, my favorite kind of kill...

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

The treacherous nation of Shinuyama has violated the non aggression pact with Arcoscephale.
This will be considered a declaration of war.
Any nation bordering Shinuyama will be given a compensation upon entering war with the backstabbing demons.
Contact us for military information and the bounty on the demons.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

We're pushing for turn 30, and we're still on a 24h schedule - that's pretty good.

As a note, I'll go to 48 hour hosting as and when public demand dictates.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

Could you delay the game until I find a sub?

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! MA Mod-heavy game. Playing.
 

I shall do. Top post has been amended to note that a sub will be wanted.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Gregstorm, Baalz is willing to sub, I've sent you his e-mail.

If you could just postpone the game some more so he can get familiar with the nation!

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

It has been done. I'd like to be the first to say "ZOMG!! Wezez orl d00mz0rd!!!11!1"

Welcome to Unsanity, Baalz. I hope you enjoy it.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

We Jotuns have 13A gems, its all we have, you can have them all in exchange for one pair of flying boots. PM me.

Welcome Baalz! Try not to make war war with me, like you usually do!:)

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Oh man, that was one of my all time favorite fights. Wasn't 100% sure exactly how effective that tactic would be, but it goes down in my permanent playbook now. :) Sometimes subbing stinks because you have to live with the choices the previous player made (not that they're necessarily bad, just not what you would have picked). Sometimes living with those choices and stepping into almost immediate fighting means you have to get creative. I'll try to write up an AAR tonight, good stuff.

PS I don't know why people pick misfortune so much. In the 4 (5?) turns I've taken so far I've lost 5 provinces to indie attacks, a temple, and bogus in sieging one of my castles. :/

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

I took misfortune because of the astrologers and I really wanted an awake SC, it's not really an ordinary game with the usual pretender builds with all those mods and felt a desire to pick the pretender I did.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Oh yeah, I wasn't so much complaining about your picks, just lamenting the fact that 9 out of 10 times I sub I pick up misfortune-2 scales which I very rarely pick myself. Personal preference I guess, but I guess that's a discussion for elsewhere.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Gregstorm, is "Rocky the Slab" for your certain holy site recruit a randomly generated name? If so, that's just absurdely rediciliosly appropiate. But if you named him that way.. that's just absolutely profane. I mean Rocky*? Does it have the lyrics for the "Eye of the Tiger" written on it or something?

* If you find my pet peeve ridicilious, you should consider the fact that I just sat through a Rocky - movie marathon.

There's just too many coincidences these days. You sure you ain't stalking me Greg?

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Also, Caelum is in need of Earth gems. Can offer death or air or nature in exchange.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Okay, I'm going to have to go for the 'absolutely profane' option here. To be fair, I did name him some time before your Rocky-thon took place. As to the nature of the writings... the idea of a religion whose sacred writings were the lyrics of 'eye of the tiger' just makes me grin. So I think that must be the case.

And yes, I am stalking you. If you look over your left shoulder quickly enough, you might just catch me at it. :evil:

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Actually, now that I think about it, that'd be pretty funny. I don't what kind of doctrines that religion would have, but they'd probably fight a *lot*.

Heh, perhaps I should do new holy site to holy war based on that.*


*Or not..

There's no #luck command.

Bother. That'll be a #onebattlespell then. Serves me right for pretending I know how to mod.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

I've had a request to move the game on to 48h hosting, which I'm inclined to grant. I've put on a 24h postponement to allow a little time for discussion, but if I don't hear strenuous objection I'll go ahead and extend the host time.

The game has been going for 38 turns now at a 24h schedule, and no-one has bailed to AI or staled out. Congratulations to the lot of you - it's a pretty stellar achievement!

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

BFGs - Big Friendly Giants (Jotuns) would like some Earth/Fire gems. I have Death/Nature/Water to trade in return or perhaps you would like me to forge something for you (upto construction 6). I am looking for 20E gems and 10F gems. PM me with offers if interested!

Btw everyone liked the Dergoth Exile pretender, didn't they? So far 3 nations I have seen choose them as there gods and rotton, nasty, tough, mothers they are too...

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Jotunheim is not a friendly nation don't believe his lies.

MA man is trying to desperately hold off Jotunheim's aggression, and needs gold. We offer Death/nature/astral gems in exchange.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Ok, I'll come clean, BFG's to everyone except Man! Happy now?:D

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

I'd be happier if there were no lesser horrors in this game:)

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Advance notice: I'm going to put a 48h extension on next turn, as I'm going to a wedding.

Re: Unsanity... surely this is modness! Sub wanted for leading nation.
 

Okay, I'm back and awaiting the next turn. Things are getting interesting out there.
