I think about 150, maybe 200, perhaps around 80-90 from me, if I understand the mechanics properly. It largerly depends on how you spend (or not) these pearls, actually, so hard to guess.
I used Fate of Oedipus to dispell EoG and the lightning global by Jotunheim was also destroyed somehow.

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Well I'll tell you when the game is over, which may be a very long time...

It was a good trade off, 30 pearls for Eyes of God, 75 fire gems to cancel it out, and since I have the chalice, as you may have suspected, no harm done. Plus needed it up for only one turn anyway, makes no difference now.

Oh, have something special coming up next month, stay tuned.

Dimaz April 29th, 2009 03:29 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I hope it'll be more special than hundreds of GR casts.. I already had enough of "specials" in this game when my god was killed by unique doom horror early in the game. Actually, I don't think you can win now, but I think it'll be a long fight for both of us. It's a pity we don't have VPs in this game, probably it's a bad idea to play such large maps with no VPs.

Executor April 29th, 2009 04:01 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
No, something better, GR is just something you're gonna have to get used to every turn.

I agree, this map is just too big, I don't think I'll play a game this big soon, or at all again.

So you don't think I can win? Well I'll just have to prove you wrong there I guess. But in any case, if I see I'm going down I won't insist on prolonging this time consing game, I expect the same from you.

But Balistha is a pimp. :p I'm pretty bored, waiting for my visit, but he got real cabin fever.

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
WTF?? Just looked at my turn, and appears my Pretender was feebleminded (which has happened to me mucho times before)--but when I went to go cry over her, couldnt find her. Of course, my priests all have 'call god' option now. Anyone else ever had this happen? Triple checked my reports and didnt see any other spells cast at her.

klagrok May 2nd, 2009 12:22 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Oops--never mind...appears she got snagged by a Horror :mad:

Dimaz May 2nd, 2009 02:19 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Heh, exactly what happened to me in the early game. I was sure that was some sort of bug before I found corresponding message.

klagrok May 2nd, 2009 10:59 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
What really stinks is the 5 abominations that were guarding her fled like spring chickens :(

Dimaz May 4th, 2009 03:06 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Klagrok, again I have to ask for 24h extension. I'll try to finish the turn tonight, but I'm not sure.

klagrok May 4th, 2009 12:18 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
NP Ill add 24 hrs--of course, if you let me have half of your provinces your turns wouldnt take you as long :angel

"And let there be darkness!" said Winnie The Pooh, the god of EA C'tis,
"Utter darkness, while the Forges of the Acients are kept open by a never ending stream of pearls from the Arcain Nexus!" said the Lord...

Oh shhh...
That's the problem when you do a little bit of turn every day, always forget something.
Dimaz, remind me to kill those golems

HEY! By my calculation you ain't spending a lot of gems? Why?

Dimaz May 6th, 2009 09:08 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Hmm. Perhaps I forgot them in some remote lab? You should remind me to spend all the gems properly, to fuel your Nexus better :).

Executor May 8th, 2009 12:50 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I think I'll need a delay on this turn this time, shouldn't take more than 12 hours.

Dimaz May 8th, 2009 02:31 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Me too. Perhaps we should permanently add 1 day to schedule?

Executor May 8th, 2009 03:06 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Not a bad idea.

klagrok May 8th, 2009 06:34 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Ill add one day permanently :) Of course, you could hand over some provinces to cut down your game time :eek:

Dimaz May 13th, 2009 03:53 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Hi Klagrok, I'm unable to finish this turn in time due to power failure that erased all today's changes. And second one when I tried to redo them. So, please add 12h or so to this turn.

klagrok May 13th, 2009 09:40 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
NP Ill add 24 just in case

Executor May 16th, 2009 02:06 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
It would appear that Klagrok is no longer among us.
So it's me against you now Dimaz. The grand finale.

Dimaz May 17th, 2009 01:58 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Yesss. Lizardssss againsst lizardsss.

klagrok May 17th, 2009 02:46 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I will still admin :) My giants couldnt see too well in the dark :D

Executor May 18th, 2009 03:30 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Klagrok, could you add 12 hours to the clock, I have too much too study for tomorrow (end of the year for me on Friday so I'm extremely busy ) so I don't have time to do this turn properly.

klagrok May 18th, 2009 07:41 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Will do :)

Dimaz May 19th, 2009 12:59 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I think we can delay the turn till Friday or Saturday in such case, if you need it.

Executor May 19th, 2009 11:11 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Bah, no need, I've sort of done my turn a few days back, probably forgot a few things but that's just me.

However I would like an extra 24 hours on this turn, I have a basketball tournament on Saturday and I probably won't be able to do my turn at least before Friday.
Probably won't need the delay but just in case...

Executor May 19th, 2009 11:14 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
My god, you actually managed to dispel a 999 gems global!
Don't see the point doe, since I'll just cast it again this turn with the exact amount.

Dimaz May 19th, 2009 01:21 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
You can try.

klagrok May 19th, 2009 09:10 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Ill add 24 to da clock

Executor May 24th, 2009 03:05 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Now would you look at that,
I knew I forgot something, an escape rout for that damn Tartarian.
I'ma have start writing things down.

You know what the most interesting part about Utherdark is?
It doesn't hurt you or me much, it actually help us both in certain situations, apart from resolving the damn bane fire problem for your the treacherous Sauromancers,
The fact that we can't buy scouts on a 400 province map. :) :) :)

Do our brethren lizards dare attack the mighty fortress of Pythium?

Dimaz May 25th, 2009 07:49 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Yep, it's kinda hard to make GR-scout attack thing without scouts, right? :) And, I think, your Shadow Seers are more precious now.
It turned out mighty fortress is not so mighty, when surrounded by legions of chariots. The presence of your own domes preventing you from sending reinforcements makes it especially interesting :)

Executor May 25th, 2009 02:29 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Oh, you liked that thug shadow seer than huh?

Who said that fort needs reinforcments?

Dimaz May 28th, 2009 02:06 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
klagrok, I need 1 day more to finish current turn, please delay hosting by 24 h.

Executor May 28th, 2009 05:50 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I agree, a delay is indeed what is needed right now.

Dimaz, if Klagrok doesn't see this in time to delay don't send the turn so we can roll back without any repercussion.

Dimaz May 28th, 2009 06:26 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Ok.

Executor May 28th, 2009 02:38 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I think I'll ask Llama for the password so we can roll back, I'll PM it to you too.

Executor May 28th, 2009 04:19 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
OK, so game rolled back, thank you once again Llama.
We can get back to killing each other.

Both of us can extend the turn now, and I assume you won't be doing this but let's not get over abusive with delaying the game.

klagrok June 1st, 2009 11:43 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Darn sorry out hiking all day :( See 2 hrs on todays deadline, so not sure if you are talking about the current turn or not, but Ill add 24 just in case.

Seems you guys gots the password :) Goodluck lizard boys!!!!!

Executor June 1st, 2009 02:34 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Stupid stupid mistake.
Same mistake twice in a row, not to mention I forgot to extract that one tart also.

Why didn't you attack? Why aren't you spending gems?

Dimaz June 1st, 2009 03:19 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Stars were in a bad position for attack. And I do spend gems, at least some of them :) Good strike with RoS!

Dimaz June 6th, 2009 02:46 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Heh, you really have something in that castle.

Executor June 6th, 2009 04:43 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Told you,
you're welcome to try again.

Dimaz June 8th, 2009 02:04 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Thanks, I'll try a bit later. Btw, I'll be away 21-27, I think we'd just stop the game for that period, as staling and subs are not a good idea in current position.

Executor June 8th, 2009 06:16 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Sure, no problem.

Executor June 10th, 2009 02:33 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I have a very big problem, I've just spotted that something very important just vanished with no cause what so ever, I'll delay the game for 16 hours so to figure out what to do about it.

Dimaz June 10th, 2009 04:15 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
No problem, hope you'll solve the problem.

Executor June 11th, 2009 11:24 AM

Executor June 13th, 2009 03:26 PM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Ah, a good turn! You're finally losing some troops and mages, now you just outnumber me 2 to 1.

It will be a very big shame for the one of us who loses this game if you consider all the time invested in it. This last turn took me about 6-7 hours to menage.

Dimaz June 14th, 2009 06:06 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
Well, considering I just lost 999 astral trying to overcast your nexus with the mage killed by A, and losing about half of my gem-producing items, and losing many chariot-spamming priests, and the fact that we understood you're going to use GoH/A combo just the last turn, clearly you play better. I think my main mistake was to concentrate on "more lands as fast as possible" in the midgame, spending tons of astral on golems and losing them without need. Instead I had to put Nexus first. Well, considering all this, I think we can declare you winner in this game.

Executor June 14th, 2009 06:20 AM

Re: Timewarp! - Game is live!
 
I do think you severely underestimated me, you are stronger only on score graphs.
My clams cost 3w1N gem, and blood stone 3 slaves and 2 earth gems. I'm forging 30 clams a turn along with several blood stones.
I have about 350 clams and six astral 9 mages to cast wish, so that's another 450 free gems along with those 350.
I can cast AN with 999 every turn since I have about 700 astral gems a turn with AN. While Jotun was alive it gave me about 350 a turn. Now it about 200 since I keep summoning iron dragon, tartarians and other expensive stuff.
I also pay almost nothing for items with the forge, and the steel ovens, 10 gem items cost me 2 gems, 5 gems items are 1 even without hammers.
I'm summoning 10 tartarians a turn.
I have a dozen Seraphs and Chayots, and about 100 tartarians waiting to be GoRed.
And with those last two Armageddons I lost maybe 10 mages, which weren't in friendly dominion to be saved by GoH, Sauromancer have protection 10 and other important mages had armor to protect them.
Even if you do dispel GoH this turn, although I put an insanely large amount of gems, it would still be one turn of Armageddons for you from which you can not protect.

I'm good if you want to continue the game, although I pretty sure you'll lose eventually and even better if you want to end it. Those golems irritate the hell out of me!!!
