Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Alright, I emailed gandalf to get the timer taken off until then!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Okay, thanks.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

You can still play your turn, SirMu, and advance the game. It'll at least give us something to do during this week!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I'm back from my trip, so you can put the timer back on now. :)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Ok, I was hoping everyone would have their turns in by now, then I would have restarted the timer. But I'm tired of waiting, so the timer is going up to 48 hours again. Let's brush off the dust and get this rolling once more!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

The next turn is up!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I had the misfortune of getting a mystery stale last turn, oh well. In other news: 2 hours left, mauxe!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Boromir has contracted a fatal disease?? Noooooooooooooo

Delivered by a blow from the dark god of ermor himself! Then the mighty boromir slew that foolish god, but now.. now..

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

And so Captain Hazak fell into the gate of death that he had so carefully guarded. A shame. But Love is still alive. Hope is still alive. Happiness is still alive. Friendship is still alive. So many great things of this world still walk, and they shall walk over to you and hold you in their embrace as you cry.

You can not escape them, Man. You are defined by them.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I sent my son forth, unthanked, unblessed, out into needless peril, and here he lies with poison in his veins.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I should hope that no magical rings fall into Man's possession anytime soon.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Boromir currently carries the precious.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

That can only end poorly

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

So Man and Shinyama are currently crushing Ermor? How is that working out for you all?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

More like ermor was eating me until they faced gondor's finest. Now for the turn of the tide

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Enjoy your victory. You get to be the proud owner of thousands of miles of worthless wasteland!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Unless, there's a lot of gems to get, especially the 15 d gem-a-turn machine in the Necropolis.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

True... I think generally by the time you win though it isn't usually worth the cost if you fight from start to finish (I can't speak for jumping in towards the end... gotta love cherry-picking).

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well, the alternative is boxing in ermor until they inevitably cast burden of time/utterdark, so...

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Short term:
When your neighboring provinces loose 50% of their population in a few turns in spite of you having built 4 temples to resist Ermor's Death Dominion, what do you do next?

Long term:
IRFNA put it right.

The rest is secondary...

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I suppose. All of that being said, I'm glad it is not my problem. Good luck gents!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

4 hours, echodyne and soyweiser!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Damn you, bogus!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I think Bandar Log probably staled, but that's not surprising given his situation.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

****. I totally forgot to do my turn. Sorry... I try to fight till the end even when it looks hopeless.

Damn, and I might also have accidentally crashed the server. I'm stuck at waiting for info.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

It was doing that before, I emailed gandalf about it a bit ago.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

3 hours, mauxe!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

The Monkeys live for another turn!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Unfortunately yes.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

:). And Fortuna's meddeling is bugged. Those 24+ buffed markata should have killed that bane.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

That is a good spell for making crappy troops halfway decent. Fortunately you don't have many crappy troops left!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Be careful, he's pretty good at doing a lot with crappy troops.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well, fortunately I have crappy mages to even that out.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well the markata should have killed that bane. But the fortuna spell does not give AN weapons.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

So where did they get the astral weapons from then? Some of my troops had them too.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

fortuna's meddeling. It should have given my markata AN weapons. Sadly it didn't. The spell only gave luck and MR.

I do not think we should so lightly abandon the outer defenses. Defenses that Boromir long held intact. I will not yield the river and The Weald unfought. The Forest of Gila must be retaken.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

After some thinking, I have decided that I'm going to need a sub. Sadly, Subway doesn't appear to be open over the internet, so I'll leave it in all your capable hands to fulfill my request. It's been a fun game so far and it really gave me a taste for how the undead legions play. I hope you continue having fun with whoever takes my place. Thank you.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

It said that it did, unless it actually didn't. I do know that looking on your monkeys on the battle report that it was showing up as your markata having AN weapons.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Yeah, it says so, but 24+ AN weapons markata should have killed a single bane. (Each one gets higher chances to hit, and his 20 protection should have counted as 0 so each hit would have done at least 5 damage).

I was already worrying this was the case when I could not kill Ulms heavy cav with my tactic. But I assumed that was because they have high def and also get the meddeling buff.

Sadly, this was going to be my main battle trick. Just have hordes of cheap markata with luck an AN weapons. (high numbers of markata give high chances of hitting as iirc each additional attack on somebody gives -1 def). And AN weapons ensures any hit also does damage.

Sadly it didn't work out that way. And I did not have str of giants + weapons of sharpness researched. So I could try the same trick but with less effect. A well, should have tested better before the game :D

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I think damage is modified by a drn even in the absence of armor. So the markatas should average 5 damage, but can do more or less.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

you didn't count in their str attribute(or the weapon clubs in that case). they should do 8 on average.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well, I don't think they ever did more than 5 damage. So, unless I was very unlucky, it looks like it simply does not work.

Even with drn variance, 24 AN weapon markata should have destroyed that bane.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

yea ofc. I found another problem with globals.

Yea if anyone can try it: cast maelstorm with a W6 mage and for 110 gems(that makes exactly 30 gems on top)
Then try to dispell it with S9 mage. just with normal dispell(but the 6 levels of astral should be equal to 30 gems.) so chances should be 50 50.in terms of dispelling the global but they don't seem to be in like that. it has been 20 turns since I set my mage to cast dispell automatically every turn. and he hasn't been able to take it down,,,

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

So real life is currently kicking my *** again. Despite my best efforts I cannot get to my main computer until much later tonight. I would like to request a 24 hour extension.

Also, I can keep putting in my best effort for now, but I suspect things like this will just keep happening. I feel I should, regretfully, bow out and request a sub. I will keep playing until someone is willing to take over, I just can't garantee I won't keep slowing everyone down.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well, we're looking for a sub for ermor anyway, so you're not slowing anything down right now.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Finding a LA ermor sub is taking a while. How much longer are you guys willing to wait?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I'm fine with waiting a lot, I am more bothered of getting a good and competitive game rather than the time it requires to do that. a week maybe:)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Waiting's not too bad, and an AI ermor would be really annoying to fight.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I also vote for wait.
