Will do.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

GUYS - hold on a second. There are two other solutions here which seem to be getting completely ignored!

First and foremost, as llamabeast points out, the CD-key is readily available to Darloth if he just looks in the key file of his install. Can't he just do that? Or like call someone who has access to his original install or whatever?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

It's my understanding that he can't even get his computer to boot up, so there's not much chance to be able to look for the key file.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Alas! I look forward to beating on Jomon's replacement player ;)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

The replacement player is in, all is well!

A preview of things to come...
 

Coming soon to a Dominions server near you:

In Noobs vs Vets II: Die, Vets, Die!, an army of noobs takes on

a handful of expert veterans in a leisurely paced large map

early age game characterized by rapid expansion and magics most

terrifying and wonderful. Who will prevail? :confused::eek:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

RDONJ, asked If I would sub if you needed it.

I am no Baalz and would be on the Noob side.

If it would get to the late middle or end game and turns where long and I didn't know the nation I might hurt more than help, but we will see what happens.

GrudgeBringer:up:

Re: A preview of things to come...
 

Aren't you being a bit presumtuous starting a second game of this kind? It's turn 4 after all, and we haven't even started beating on each other yet.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Yeah a little early to start another one, but when it is I'll certainly be joining

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Great, we can use all the alternates we can get.

Re: A preview of things to come...
 

I've no intention of starting it till we are finished with this one. That is why I say, its "A preview of things to come..."

I thinking possibly an indie strength of say 2 and easy research (ala QM's) suggestion.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Ahh, my Gorgon. Such a pretty thing (as long as you only look at her in a mirror). Can anyone defeat her?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Does anyone have a really shiny shield for the Gorgon to look into. Or was Medusa the only one of the sisters with Stone Gaze

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I heard we had some action with Ryleh this turn. The wars have begun!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I don't know, I'm just glad I don't have to :D Btw does anyone know if eyeless creatures can attack a gorgon without being turned to stone? Not that it would likely help, agartha is the only one with eyeless recruitables.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Mindless and berserk units are good for that. Isn't it a morale check or be petrified? Plus then you'll probably have awe, which is another morale check, and the primary means of actually winning is fear, which is more morale. The gorgon will likely have weapons intended to deal with the small number of things with the morale needed to withstand the mental assault.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

No, it's a check against magic resistance. Morale won't do anything to save you from petrification.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Bwaahaahaa! There is nothing you can do to save yourselves from the Gorgon!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Would begging and pleading for our lives work? No? Well, there goes my plan.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

No, begging and pleading won't help. Large chests of money and gems sent to Pangaea might keep her at bay though.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Actually my real plan is to leave her alone and let other people deal with her. So I'm covered. Maybe I'll try to help other people figure out ways to kill it though.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Whats this about large chests?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I'm a fan of large chests. Send me some big chests.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I actually favor smaller chests. However feel free to send me gold anyway

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Have at you, then. Slimy noobs. 3 on 1 eh? Well, we'll see how that goes for you.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I see faith in my strategy to slay the gorgon was not entirely misplaced :D

Unfortunately the way teams are placed doesn't really allow us to come at you with much more than equal numbers, so you should be quite happy. And look at the way you're all picking on poor ulm over there all by his lonesome. Clearly we aren't the only team employing unsporting stratagems....

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Oh, the Gorgon is fine. You will see her again. In full battle gear.

You guys routed a Gorgon with a rawhide shield and nothing else. That will not be the Gorgon you run into next time.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

It's just too bad she got off so lightly. And of course she has recuperation, so that never healing wound has probably already healed :P

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Never healing wound? Oh, that. Yeah, she's all better now. Thanks for asking though. :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Personally I think the Gorgon should take a flying leap into a very deep hole

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Did you all push poor Ulm into that foolhardy attack? He's lucky he didnt lose his nice little thug, much less his army.

Not that he isnt about to lose that anyway... :evil:

Thanks for the Archers in White, btw!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

We told ulm to defend his capitol, he decided to try to cut off escape routes for the abysian army in case he won. It wasn't such a bad idea but unfortunately that didn't work out so well for him. That nice little thug is a vampire though, I never heard for sure whether it was immortal, but I was under the impression.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I'm just glad my nice little thug is out of my capital what with the peasants taking up arms everywhere he walks. I was *amazed* to see him survive toe to toe against the gorgon. I already consider this game a victory! :p Whether I get crushed under the advance of the enemies or politely abdicate for my better-equipped allies to step up to the front, I'll have done good for my team in delaying, distracting, and costing resources.

Oh and yeah, I just wanted the Archers in White to take out that barbarian province. Bloody crossbows don't reload fast enough. Keep 'em.

Question, when someone's armor is broken and it says that it has to be repaired by spare resources in a friendly province, how does that work? Does that unit have to stay for a turn in that province? Is it an order?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

You need to be in a prov with a lab, I think. Could be wrong. I don't encounter it much.

Hold on, now that I think about it, for normal armor, etc, I think you just need to be in a prov with extra resources.

Hmm. Not sure why I am helping the enemy. Just bored, I guess.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Who jacked this up? Wednesday host? Whtat's up with that?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

We're moving to a 48 hour host as indicated on the main post.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Aw, man. Just when the game was getting interesting too!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

48 at turn 10? Man, nobody can be that slow this early :(

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Heh. It takes me like 5 minutes to do my turn.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

This should not come as a surpise, especially if you've kept up with the thread since its inception.

It's not a question of turn completion time, as I've already stated. I was originally gonna start at 48 hours! :D

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Can we make it not 48 hours? These turns really are pretty basic. I mean even with team coordination I'm just sitting on my hands here. Our plans are all set we just need a turn so there's something new to discuss.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

We could always discuss the effects of a changing world on the members of its youth. Or Caeser's Gallic Campaigns. Or maybe celebrities. We can figure out 24 hours worth of conversation, but only once. I'm not sure what to do next turn.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

We could discuss the utter annihilation Midgard will face when he tries to take my cap :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I couldn't accomodate you without risking staling myself, sorry, I know some of you are chomping at the bit, but you'll live. Concentrate on getting your turn in and trust in quickhost to take care of the rest.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

But it never does. There's always atleast one guy who waits until the last minute or stales. Always. Its like a syndrome. 48-hour syndrome.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Our team needs a lot more organizational effort than you guys probably think should be necessary. I get my turns done quickly too, but being sick right now I'm thankful for the extra time I can stay away from the computer while feeling terrible and come back later to help with the organization.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Yeah this is true. Someone always waits till the last minute, either intentionally or unintentionally. Tho in this case I think its out of PURE FEAR!!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Aye, crippling, bowel loosening terror.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

I really don't like to think of bowel loosening terror. Paints kind of an ugly picture.

That said, Pan is in no terror at all. The Gorgon waits and watches, as Midgard tears through our lands. Until the time comes when she says, "Attack".

Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Game Running.
 

Such confidence. I hope it is well founded!:p

A confident vet, vets should be confident.
Hardened by battle, wisened with age and experience. And in my planned sequel, they'll have their chance to demonstrate as much as they'll be outnumbered 3 to 1.
