Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Ok, here is my entry into the underdog contest http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif :

My research is at 7706600 with 140 RP/Turn. One abysian wraithlord chased off my 700 man (incl 20+ mages) underwater army.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

How is that an underdog? At least you are fielding a 700 soldier / 20+ mage underwater army!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

I wouldn't be surprised if Abysia had all research completed.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Zeldor please. Not even close.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Just so everyone knows (and no one has a head start on the land grab!), I set myself to AI last turn. I summoned a few things and concentrated all the armies together before handing it over to the computer just so it wouldn't be quite the pushover, whoever decides to go for the capitol.

It's been a fun game -- I certainly got a eye opener about the endgame -- and how difficult a geared up wraith lord can be!

Hope to see everyone on the battlefield again soon.

Bandar.

Oh, well. When we are finished we can repeat the game with the same people http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

I will postpone hosting by 24h for that turn, I really have much less free time now than I would like to.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

For some strange reason my turn was not accepted and I will havve to talk with llamabeast about that. Strange.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

It could have been an important turn - do you want to set the server back a turn and re-submit?

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

It got my turn 2 hours after hosting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Of course with message that it is 2h for wrong turn number.

Extremely important turn it wasn't, but still, there were some things done. Let's just wait for llamabeast.

At least one really funny battle occured because well, my armies didn't move http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Heh, staled again :/

I had problems with net so I postponed hosting. Then I was sure I have plenty of time left to finish my turn, but for some strange reason I didn't get notification e-mail about hosting, so I was just recruiting some units and suddenly new turn came on e-mail...

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

I will go AI now. Shinuyama has been more or less idling around for the last couple of turns. I had a great time here and learned much. Bye-bye

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Thanks for playing spacht.

T'ien Ch'i, as last civilised nation, has to try and banish demonic forces back to Abyss. Thus last turn our heroice armies started an invasion. Many heroes died in just cause and much more will, be we shall prevail! 21 provinces have been liberated from forces of evil.


Couple other announcements:
- that Shinu going AI was surprising and caused some losses, lost some valuable lands
- Abysia is still much stronger, but I hope that first attack will give me at least some chance to fight
- second Heliophagi, bleh
- I hate wraith lords, especially when there are probably of 10-15 of them
- I do not like that king of elemental fire
- I do not like Demon Knights, especially so many of them
- 10 wolves + werewolf cannot take down 1PD, what a waste of gems...
- Send Horror is a waste of good virgins, I could use them for other things http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif


Parcelt:

I guess we can extend hosting to 72h? OR even longer if you want. I t will be a lot of micro...

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

WTF? My Golem won the battle and died... he had plenty of HP and nothing could harm him. And he suddenly became dead...

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Zeldor, what a shame. A great diplomat such as yourself shouldn't need lowly tricks like this. Or did you forget our formal NAP?

Alas, whether you win or lose, it will now be without honor. Why would you bring such disgrace on yourself? Honestly, you are not that weak, with your army of decked out tartarians, that you really need this.

Anyways, having said that, we hold you no grudge, as it makes the game all the more interesting. So let's have a fight!

Moving to 72h hosting is fine with me, turns will indeed take longer and longer. I wouldn't want to go beyond 72 hours or we will never finish this game.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Welcome to multiplayer, parcelt.

Lowly tricks? NAP? There are just 2 of us left so that's a duel. There are no NAPs in duel http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I was actually living in fear all the time that you will do the same thing to me.

You have Belial, you have enough gems to summon Iron Dragons, Siege Golems, hordes of Demon Knights. You have 4 capitols. You are sitll in far better position.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Game is FINISHED.

Result: DRAW

Winners: Abysia + TC

That game lasted 20-30 turns too long for that number of players and mapsize, became micromanagement nightmare and a slow war. With heavily fortified landscape on both sides invading each other became extremely hard and there would be at least 30-50 turns before winner would be elected. Both of us also had some stales, so we decided that draw is the best solution. In that time we can probably start and finish more than one game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I will upload my turn file soon. I will also make my archive with all files.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Turn 91 with my big attack on Abysia.

Password is 'haslo'.

Re: MA newbie PBEM game
 

Congrats guys.
