Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Hi all, i will extend the game till Rejakor submit his turn, any objections or time limit in the extendion?

Rejakor, info on when you can send your turn.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

No objections, we should wait.
But you could submit your turn, so the game hosts as soon as Rejakors turn is in.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I prefer to wait till Rejakor shows some life.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Whats the benefit of that?
It just delays hosting.
Had you submitted yesterday, Rejakor and me could be playing by now.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

You are right, it delays host, but if something happens and i am far from inet a stale can happen. It´s more secure. But if you don´t like this i can change my behavior.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

But you having not submitted your turn will not prevent anything from happening.
The only difference is that you will stale too.

On the game: I guess you were a bit rash in Doven. You should have waited for reinforcements. Great battle with a great outcome.
But I still need to learn to use my poison. I always end up killing to many of my units with it.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Doven, yes i was a bit rush, i thought you didn´t try to intercept my forces and i am a total noob:bug: in army movement.

For the poison you did well, but serpents blessing is better than poison guard, and mass regeneration is always nice.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I hoped you would move that way, but I did not expect it.
We are ashamed to admit that both spells are beyond our casters skills.
But not for much longer!

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Hey guys. Sorry about the late turn had a surprise lack of internet compounded by being busy. Personally i'm glad Morla is being careful. Better a slow good game than a fast game full of stales.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Thx:)

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

OH MAN you are going to kill me :).

I just extended the game 6h didn´t know if you can make it, i will keep an eye on pythium.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Postponing was O.K., time was running out.
But I still don't understand why you do not submit your turn, when you have it finished.
I will go to bed now,and I would have loved to see the turn before I do so.
Now it will probably host this night, and I don't have the time to look in the morning, so I see it in the afternoon.
I love to think about the game in my car on the way to work......

Don't let me be misunderstood: Your doing a great job in letting nobody stale. And if someone is not able to get his turn in in time its necessary to wait, it happened to me also.
But you holding back your turn just makes no sense IMO.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I just sended my turn. i hope you have the time to see the new one.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Man, that Master Enslave/Vortex of Returning combo is evil!

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

XD, sincerely it´s the first time i try it, it worked :D.

Well it´s time for the real war. NOW, LETS HAVE MORE FUN.

Happy thoughts in your way to work.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I am sorry, but today I need an extension of 24 hours.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Done, but the server have problems.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Thx.
Turned out I managed to send a fast turn.
Probably not perfect, but with the server issues I didn't want to go to bed without having submitted.
Turn is probably not perfect, but O.K., so send your turns as you wish.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I could use a twelve hour extension as I really have to think this turn through and could use the Tuesday evening to do so.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Server spammed me with about 15 'already received 2h file is this alright' messages after I updated my turn last time and I haven't received a new turn file yet, despite going to thing and getting it to resend it a bunch.

until I can sort this out won't be able to take turn.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I did receive a turn file.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

If you didn´t recive your turn, try a resend turn, It worked for me, i extended the game 12h.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I extend the game one more time(24h), so jotun can submit his turn.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

The deadline is again quite tight for me.
I've enough time tomorrow evening, so it would be great if the game could be extended 12 hours.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Olm, what did you do to Morla? Did you take his provinces with bards? That's really.. quite rude.

Also hilarious.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I'm going to need a 12h extension because my ISP is having technical problems.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Internet is fixed and turn is in. Thanks for the extension.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Crazy days, i will need an extension.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Hi,
I am away from home from tomorrow till next week Tuesday.
Though I will have a limited connection I don't expect to find time for a turn.
Could we postpone the next turn till Wednesday evening (GMT+1)?
If all your turns are in before then, I will see what I can do, but it would be good to have no pressure to send a turn.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

few, i maybe can send my turn today. Olm I will extend the game, after i send my turn, till u can submit yours.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I am back in town.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Hi Morla,

Can we still expect a turn? Or is this game dead? That would really be sad.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

hi all, sorry. I had internet problems, well no inet at all. I managed to extend this game thx to a friend.

I hope i can get my turn this weekend. And of course this game isn´t dead.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Great that the game continues. Yet after this pause I need some more time to get into it again. Can we delay 48 hours?

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Due to RL engagements I will not be able to send a turn this week.

But I have just seen that you have staled five turns in a row, Morla.
Despite very long hosting intervals.
So you have not played for at least two months, I would guess.
Will you be able to send a turn some time in the future?
I stopped attacking Ulm provinces, when I realized what was going on, but a game where such a large nation does nothing but stale is in severe disbalance.

I concentrate on Pythium now. Though they have done a lot to form a really competitive nation, I guess they have no chance against the full resources of Man and Ermor.
To my knowledge Pythium has lost a Treeant, a Water Queen an Air Queen and a Harbinger over the last 2-3 turns. All equipped. Thats 3 SCs and a heavy thug. I had no losses worth mentioning. So if Ulm continues to stale, and once Jotunheim is fully down, Pythium will not hold out for long.

The question is: Will Ulm continue to play? If not: What happens with Ulm and is it worthwhile to continue at all.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Not going to be able to take turns for 5 or so days.

If we don't get subs/holds or something willing to call this game done although it doesn't let me do my counteroffensive I have coming.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Hi guys,

I've seen you have actually played the last turn. Thought you would all stall.
It is sad, but to be honest, I don't want to invest time in this game anymore. It has no admin and the player of one of the largest nations has also gone.
Each turn takes me a huge amount of time, if I want to do it at least half way decently.
I had much fun with this game, and I thank you for providing this fun.
I especially thank Ermor for being such a great ally. Many other player would have quit long ago.
I guess we can all take something positive:
Ermor has outlived its two archenemies and has seen all but the very death of both.
Pythium has taken an impressive development under Rejakor.
And I leave the game as the dominant and largest nation.

Again thank you for the game, and I'd be glad to meet you in another one.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Well, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Ulm hadn't started staling.

Your Ember Lords and whatnot vs my mindhunts and angels while ulm held the line with undead would have been a pretty interesting situation. I had a master enslave teleport communion ready to go next turn for that big army with the mothers in it, too.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

I had lots of remote damage spells ready for your army with almost only mages some turns ago, but couldn't send in the turn in time.
I had the Master Enslave thing done by Ulm, very painful.
Nonetheless I think in the current situation you would have lost.
Had Ulm played on, and you two played well together I would most probably have lost after a very long game.

Btw: I have lizard shamans as well as sages, so I could have warded my troops against Mind Hunts.

Re: Morla MA noob game (running)
 

Mind Hunts are for solo raiding SCs. If you send a couple of flying lizard shamans, that's what seeking arrow is for. Using Mind Hunts against an army is like begging for feeblemind.

Yeah that army is like 99% trash commanders that I don't need and produce like 9 of each turn. Hitting the 4 arch theurgs hidden in there like diamonds in the rough would have been hard work. It was lack of time to do turns that stopped me splitting it up into 4 groups like the original plan was, though.
