If I told you, then you'd know how best to recast it.

What I will say, it was my second dispel attempt.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Hello everyone, I'm back. I came this morning, than overslept most of the day and now I am ready to continue. I feel like like it's been an eternity since I left. I can't remember anything about my position other than the nexus being dispelled.

Darkstone, if it was your second attempt than I cast it well. I suspect that you used around 200 gems. I guess you joined gems with Ctis? What worries me is that you seem to have a big astral income yourself (or a very big fire income, but it's the same really) - with empowering your vampire lords and these dispel attempts.

Anyway, if you won't tell me now, just remember the numbers, so you can tell me when the game is over. You can tell me this - in your first attempt did you do it jointly with Carkaton or did you do it by yourself?

I was thinking of setting the timer to Sunday night. Is this OK?

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

I'm in, so Sunday is fine with me. Whatever Darkstone wants to do.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Yes. Sunday.

Welcome back.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Thanks for tearing down the walls of Tien Chi capitol for me Darkstone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Edit: Hmm, it doesn't say that horrors are stormflyers, they shouldn't have gotten to me on turn 1.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Guys, I gotta do some intense farming next 3 days. Can we hold off till maybe Sunday or Monday nite?

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

You're an admin too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Make it so.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Don't know how!!!

8^)

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

How on earth can you have enough astral gems to first dispel the nexus and then to cast it!? And wouldn't it be more logical if you just used all those gems to overcast it?

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Huh?

I suspect the same way you cast that strong nexus and those wishes... and all those teleporting golems.

As for the overcasting, didn't have enough gems to do that safely.

I hope you didn't expect me to just roll over and die just because you have golems and seraphs, and decided that with the chalice and forge your tarts translate into a win? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

Of course not. I am just amazed at the size of your astral income. Nexus fueled my wishes and teleporting golems. You don't see them now, do you? Anyway, just keep up with the good work.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

I'll be out of town for two days. If I don't manage to get my turn in tonight (probably won't) I'll postpone.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game for new players
 

It seems we have lost Darkstone. I will postpone some more hoping to hear from him. I just hope he doesn't disappear permanently.

I vote we declare Psycho the winner. I have nothing to stop him with.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

?? i just subbed in, in this a lost game?

Anyways, anything to fill me in on?

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

For Ctis it is a lost game. For Abysia I don't know. I am stronger at the moment, but nexus can turn things around pretty fast. You have the strongest dominion and immortal vampires to defend it. You are quite well bunkered. I didn't fight any large battles with Abysia yet, most my knowledge about them comes from scouts.

You are allied with Ctis against me. I have seraphs, golems, air queens and tartarians, S9W9 bless. Don't know what else to say.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

yeesh, there is a lot to get a hold of

I've just read thru the forum thread and it seems a bit of a disaster in terms of people actually staying and playing. Do you two want to decide now if to continue or to declare yourself winner? if the only other original is not a chance to win it doesn't seem to me to be worthwhile bringing in a sub to be the only contestant, assuming I can get a handle on things quickly enough

Also, odds are I'll not play very useful turns at first

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

I know it's hard getting into everything when you take over a nation in the late game stage. I don't think you should worry about the first turns though, because I'll be busy with Ctis for several more turns.

I didn't want to declare myself winner just because Darkstone disappeared. It doesn't feel right. I never could quite strike the Abysian territory because of the flames from the sky spamming on big armies and stealthy immortal life for life casters for SCs. And having dispelled my nexus and casting nexus himself just two turns ago, Abysia became stronger than ever.

But, you will be the only other contestant, that is sure. I don't know if you have a shot at winning. If nothing else you can have fun with all the goodies you have, try things out, gain some experience with Abysia in late game. The decision is up to you. If you don't feel like playing after all, there's no hard feelings.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

If C'tis wants to fight it out I'm happy to play, no point though if he doesn't. From a quick look at the map and graphs you've done very well and shouldn't feel you don't deserve a win - a major reaosn people stale is that they think they have lost

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Dragar and Psycho.....If you two want to continue, I will not go AI. I just feel my position is hopeless. Not sure about Abysia. Dragar, I hear ya bud about taking over a huge nation this late. I had/have the same problem. There are just sooooo many units and summons and trying to decide what to do with who. As Psycho said, you might have fun playing around with all the fun toys for a few turns. And let me warn ya.......Psycho is good!!!!!!

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Thanks Jim (hmmm there is no blush smiley). I know Darkstone didn't stale because he thought it was a lost cause - you can see it from his posts and he also staled in all his other games, it's probably some real life issues. Anyway, I suggest you two talk about it and come to an agreement.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

well, why don't we play a couple of turns and see how we go?

Jim let me know where his armies are and i'll see what i can do, have a big stack of fire gems here just waiting to be thrown at him :)

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

first turn submitted, lets get this show on the road :) :)

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

That's the spirit! Let's play.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

I will be busy the next 3 or 4 days with farming. I probly won't be able to get a turn in.

Dragar......It's not so much his armies you need to worry about. It's the damn golems and seraphs.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Jim just tell me when to set the timer to host or do it yourself.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Set it for Sunday nite. I have a very busy schedule for next week.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

I don't know what time zone you're in jimkehn. It's set to host on Sunday night according to llamaserver time. If that doesn't work for you, tell me how many hours to postpone it.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Fine

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

I see you've submitted your turn Jim. If you are not going to change anything, is it OK to host today? No pressure, just no reason to wait if you're done.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Sure...go ahead...it was kinduva half *** turn, but go ahead.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

I said no pressure, take your time, the hosting stays on Sunday.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

OK..too busy again. If you guys wanna set me AI, go ahead, or just let me stale. I just haven't the time now.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

It's no problem to wait for you when you don't have the time. Just let us know how much time you need.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

i'm really thinking its worth calling this game.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Whatever you guys wanna do. Psycho's gonna win it anyway. Last turn I had 4 seers scripted to cast 4 magic duels, but none of them did.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

That's cause they had no gems. But they almost did something better - mind enslaved the seraph. Those swarms flies saved him.

If you both surrender we can end the game. I know I'm having a great time now, but don't know about you.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

let's call it, congrats psycho :)

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Sounds good to me. In fact if you 2 want to continue, I will either stale or go AI. Good game, Psycho.

OH, btw, I just now saw the message you sent me back on the 13th, Psycho. Sorry...wasn't sure how messages showed up on the new board. I mess the flashing envelope.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

So it is over then. The true God has ascended! Hooray! My thanks to everybody who participated in the game at any point. Also thank you very much llamabeast for making all this possible.

I'll try to do a little writeup of the game's course from my point of view later.

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Hmm, been a while since I checked this last. Congrats Psycho! Hopefully your Ulmish ally will get a favorable mention in the annals of this game! :D

Re: LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)
 

Most certainly he will. Mighty Shardoz was still by far no. 1 in the hall of fame at the end.
