Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

and they all lived happily ever after, the end

Man and C\'tis at peace
 

Why don't you both start one with Pangaea then? They seem to be getting too big for their furry britches...

Re: Man and C\'tis at peace
 

cuz i think pangea wasd involved in da war

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Indeed - Man returned the lands taken from us in the war and offered a fair settlement. Peace has returned to the southwest! The gentle lizardfolk of C'tis plan to now return to basking in the sun on hot rocks, as is our wont. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Would you like us to make some of those rocks especially hot for you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

I thought you lost the Unquenched Sword http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Turns up, in case anyone didn't notice

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Turn up.

Suggestion
 

I'd like to make a suggestion to all players in the Artifact Game to visit the dominions IRC channel. It makes the game more fun to chat and trash talk with other players. In addition it drastically speeds up and clarifies communication, which is always a good thing. So, everyone please make an attempt to just pop in and say hi see whats going on with the game (is the server down? whos at war with who? etc). If you like it, stick around and talk strat with people or maybe catch a blitz.

server: irc.gamesurge.net
channel: dominions

In particular I want to strongly suggest that all the new players in this game come to IRC regularly. You may not realize it but you are facing off against some of the top-tier dominions players. Come and talk with the other players and refine your strategies before you spend your hard earned gold on what could be a dead-end. Below is a quote from our very own QM on how to connect to IRC for those who dont know how. It assume the use of MIRC but there are many other clients if you prefer something else (I use trillian myself).

Re: Suggestion
 

I'll drop by the IRC channel today and say hello (and hopefully catch up on some politics!) Always a pleasure to chat with other strategy gaming fanatics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Suggestion
 

Ironhawk, as you've requested I here by remind you to please set the turn timer to 48h.
I'll be offline until tomorrow night.
thanks.

Re: Suggestion
 

Ah, thanks! As expected I completely forgot. I will change to 48hr once the next turn is up, since I see that your turn is already in.

mIRC
 

Is it worth trying the Trillian Basic (as in, I don't want to pay $20 for mIRC)? I am almost completely clueless about IRC nowadays since the time you could easily hook up via some UNIX connection at school...

I'm actually surprised I'm still in the game, considering all the "big boys".

Re: mIRC
 

I used Trillian basic for ages, its fine. Tho I mentioned it only because I was already using it for all my IM needs: it supports MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AIM. Just so happens to support IRC as well, which is why it was convenient for me to use. If all you are looking for is an IRC client, MIRC might be the way to go? Up to you.

Re: mIRC
 

switched to 48hrs for izaq.

Re: mIRC
 

urn of newts

Re: mIRC
 

I can't connect to the server...

uh, never mind

Re: mIRC
 

I have been away for something like thirty hours...
But now I'm back and my turn is in.

Only Machaka haven't played his turn yet.

now. sleep.

Re: mIRC
 

With izaq's return, the server has been set back to 24hr.

Re: mIRC
 

Wow, caine. That was really brave, sending your pretender into the Deathmatch. Certainly he won this time, but what happens next time now that everyone knows where to find him? Thats what always scares me away from sending my pretender.

Re: mIRC
 

i guess the thought is that in order to beat him, someone would have to send something equally valuable... I know I have nothing to try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: mIRC
 

nor do I

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

How the heck did I stale? I thought it was 36 hours?

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

the long turn hosted early, as izaqyos was back, and so hosting for the following turn was reset to 24 hrs.

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

When I saw that message I thought it meant it dropped back from 36 to 24 for the current turn, which I'd already taken. Oh well, nothing too exciting happened anyway and I had a bunch of extra gold to go shopping with. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: mIRC
 

Yeh - I figure that until someone gets ice devils (or maybe a Firbolg or wraith lord) or elemental royalty, I have a bona fide destroyer of armies. (After all, is not a God defined by the armies trampled underfoot? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif ) And by the next death match, I have a good chance of getting rid of the trident anyways.

Just have to fill his slots so no one can foist a cursed item on him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: mIRC
 

ok everybody, send a bunch of lycan ammy weilding wimps to the nest deathmatch :p

Re: mIRC
 

hey, i was wondering, do you lose the weapon you weild when you win the trident, caine?

Re: mIRC
 

im nearly certain you do but i could be wrong

Re: mIRC
 

it goes to your lab

Re: mIRC
 

just pythium left

Re: mIRC
 

8 hrs for just the pyth... now 6... hopefully he didn't just forget about it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: mIRC
 

got in with 30 mins to go (dont know how i forgot to check)

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Huntsman I will never change the time of a turn while it is in progress. I will only ever change it after a turn has generated, to avoid confusion of this manner http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Roger that. I should have checked to make sure instead of making assumptions. Oh well, Marignon won't fold because of little ol' stale! (ok, my second but....) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

why not :p im completely boxed in by ctis and ermor atm (and at 1 province by man)

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

h8 to not use edit but need to bring this post back up to say that jotunheim and marignon should get their turns in

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

I checked at 1:30 in the morning, and we were still waiting for Pan. I haven't had any chance to do my turn since then (sleep, work... eh) Expect me in about 2 hours.

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

u busy now or somethin?

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

no comment...

except that if you want a weekend blitz; we had a nice 6-player one last Sunday (met on irc.gamesurge.net #dominions) and hopefully there might be enough for another.

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Sorry for delay. My job was eliminated due to outsourcing so I've been a bit busy with trying to get my life back on track....

Edit: Oh, new turn is up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Ughhh!! Sorry to hear that Huntsman http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

man is back on the offensive, if ctis and ermor wana help me get rid of him it would be greatly appreciated (my border fort will be breached next turn by 80 or so vine things and longbowmen

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

you should not throw threats around that you cannot back up

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

I would like to render praise to Dimaz, who fought very well, and to the bitter, expensive, end http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Well this was an interesting game for me, although I think gatestone as a starting art is a bit overpowered. OTOH Ulm is not so strong, so maybe it just compensates this. Currently I'm trying to show what Ulm can do without gatestone in Frechdachs game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Anyway thanks for the good game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

not a threat, just asking for some back-up

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

I meant in regards to where I build my temples, look at it this way, at least now my temple will not be on your precious borders

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

think that if you want. and again never made a threat, just showed my displeasure

Re: Mictlan\'s Pretender
 

Gatestone is very powerful, yes. But Ulm is sooooooooo weak in the mid and late game that I felt it was only fair to give them a weapon to leverage thier early-game strength.

Thanks for playing Dimaz! Nice to hear that you went out with a bang http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Perhaps you will join us for the second artifact game, when this one is complete.
