Wow, order scales bug? I don't have order so I didn't notice.

On a seperate note, are there any player-rules I should know about for this game? Like the "Don't use 20 nukes on my base" rule in C&CGen? I don't want to use any everybody-kill-Ghill-now tactics...

Lol... I have order but hadn't noticed.
So

Personally, I view copying Bogus' groups "attack commanders" orders to your commanders as pretty cheap as well as scripting a battlemage to cast mist of deception -> wrathful skies -> retreat (this combination can't be beaten in combat and is considered to be a bug by the devs). Aside those two, anything goes.

Yep, just those that Zenzei said.

Phew...what a squeaker! I sent in my turn file with 20 minutes to go, and with 8 minutes to go I got a message saying I'd sent the wrong turn file. Got the right one in with 3 to go...phew...

Part of this is my new use of Windows Vista. When I browse to find the save game files, their in a new type of folder class called 'compatibility files' which seem to be a sort of hidden folder type. I've unhidden all folders and file types, but anyway my hotmail can't see them, and they include the save games folder in dom3. So i have to go in, copy the save game file to a folder that hotmail can see, and then do the upload. Anyone else encountered this? Anyway, needless to say I copied the wrong file this morning. I'm sure I'll love vista once i'm used to it, but in the meantime...

PS: lol - i now have the admin password, so i guess i could have delayed the turn! anyway, i can now do so now, so let me know if you need delays etc.

So people what is happening on the map.
I have only seen 2 of you so far on the map, pythium and mictlan.. I'm wondering who the rest of my neighbours are.. guess I'll need a few more scouts. Once I meet any of you expect a private message.

Re: VampireBat - LA game for new players
 

I only just ran into Zenzei(Ulm), I am still kinda pinned down right by my home.

Re: VampireBat - LA game for new players
 

You can never have enough scouts. Knowledge is power, as they say.

In addition, I think it's fair to announce that during the seventh month of the ascension wars naga lords of Patala and Iron Council of Ulm have signed a non-aggression pact. May this truce be long and prosperous!

The Nation of Midgard caught us by surprise and attacked Pythiums home province. Luckily they couldn't get past our well trained province defence.
