Re: Anti-Marignon Alliance
 

ah, he didn't even respond to me

Re: Anti-Marignon Alliance
 

I am looking for supply items, will trade for DH's or anything Van normally has access to. PM me if your interested.

Re: Anti-Marignon Alliance
 

I'm too busy to fight Nah right now!

Yeah, I don't think Ulm realized that people actually form treaties and whatnot. His previous game-experience was pretty much being strong-armed by PK into a tribute. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Jotu?
 

Are we setting Jotu to AI? He's staled the last 4 turns, it's more beneficial to set him to AI. Otherwise its easy pickings for his neighbors to gobble up his territories, and the few who are not his neighbor are not going to benefit from any free territory. At least going AI will be a little more of a challenge for his neighbors.

Re: Jotu?
 

I agree with AIing him.

Looks like Abysia's gonna stale this turn as well.

By the way, how go the wars, Shmonk? I hear from Pythium's sub that he is in danger of being dominion killed.

Re: Jotu?
 

there are some very strong dominions out there, I am struggling to keep myself afloat as well

Re: Jotu?
 

more temples need to be built all over the land!

and ya, go ahead and AI jotun. poor tom =(

Re: Jotu?
 

Is anyone interested in taking over Abysia? Things at the university are extremely hectic and are going to stay that way until April. It is sad to log in and see stale turns..

Re: Jotu?
 

Tom might be coming back soon, and until we find a solution for Abysia, its pointless to change anything. As long as one person is stalling, the whole game is slowed down anyway. The second nihilistic finds a sub though, we should AI Jotun.

PS: Nihilistic, might want to ask the guy subbing for you in the other noob game.

Re: Jotu?
 

New turn is up.

Re: Jotu?
 

jotun has probably 3 turns before defeat anyway

Re: Jotu?
 

nihilistic - I'll take over for ya, I'm a friend of PKs, I think we played a couple of blitz games a while back, I was gumby in irc...

Re: Jotu?
 

a friend of pk's, eh?...then what does that make me!?...someone you use!?

hehe, just kidding, i'd be glad to see you get in on a game.

Re: Jotu?
 

we use you to DM our DnD campaigns, isnt it obvious?

Re: Jotu?
 

Thanks ZeWanker; PM with info sent.

Re: Jotu?
 

GUESS WHOS BACK! would like to thank ygorl for subbing for me, i am pleased with his work

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

i would like to buy air boosters. as many as you can get me, as soon as you can get them to me. name your price and pm me. i have had trouble finding what i need thus far, so please ask what i can do for you.

Re: Jotu?
 

Awesome, WB Shovah.

Well, that only leaves Jotun. Since we have a replacement for Abysia, I cast my vote to AI them. Would be nice to get the game rolling once again.

P.S: How many votes do we need do you think? And if that threshold is reached, one of us should contact Iron.

Re: Jotu?
 

not sure how many votes, but if they are as near dead as people say then just go ai

Re: Jotu?
 

yeah, it wont make a huge difference, just that the AI would probably sdtart spending all that stale gold on crap units to defend the castle

Re: Jotu?
 

exactly, might cause maybe 1-2 casualties though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Jotu?
 

Most of the thread regulars have cast their vote in favor (Wish I don't know which way you went lol). Abysia looks like its gonna stall this turn. ZeWanker when did you think your going to come in?

*edit*

Looks like right now hehe. He got his turn in while i was posting this =)

Re: Jotu?
 

I thought I had till ~1AM EST to get it in...

Re: Jotu?
 

You have till the last second to get it in. Since we were used to seeing Abysia stall, I thought it was going to do so again.

CAELUM!
 

Man, I hope someone knocks Caelum out before I have to fight False Horrors!

In other news, if anyone wants to buy a winged helmet aka air booster, let me know.

Re: CAELUM!
 

your too late for that.

Undead vs. Priests
 

Well - undead hordes normally don't stand a chance against powerful priests. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon01.gif[/img] This could be seen in the last battle. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

So, I am begging for support against Marignon, as I have lost the moment of suprise by now and I will not be able to defeat them on my own. Any help (using [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Dagger.gif[/img] or even [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Grenade.gif[/img]) is welcome http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Aid shall come to defeat the vile marignon undead-hating scum!

ps: new turn is up

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

may i also point out that we will no longer be waiting on jotunheim, so check your turns more often now, and let's get back to having the turns quickhost every 12 hours (or so) again!

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Are the Lizards and Wood Fairies duking it out?

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Was someone selling bags of air or fire helmets?

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

I'm going AI. No provices left and I probably wouldn't survive the next attack by marignon. Since I'm going to be out of town for a bit, there is not point holding you all up. Thanks for the game everyone!

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Good game Oversway. Hopefully next time we won't get deadlocked early on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In the meantime, wars have swept the globe! Nah got the first global spell off as well.

EDIT : The helmet was sold to Marignon, thanks to everyone who responded.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

I'm out, everyone. AoE for the loss.

Good game, but as I thought, I'm really not good enough to play Dominions with 75% of the players in here. Good luck to everyone, but I'm hoping Nah wins: he's been the most helpful neighbour I've had, though I have nothing bad to say about Shmonk either.

Caelum is a crafty one, though! Beware his fibs! And Vanheim is hungry for land, no matter the target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

I have never been able to play mictlan effectively

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

I spoze that's why you have to WISH for them eh? heh heh... heh.. uh never mind.

TheWatcher: Don't feel too discouraged... though the people in this game are "n00bs", i get the feeling that most of them are pretty familiar with wargames in general. Feel free to discuss where you think things might have gone wrong, early strategies that bit you in the end, etc. And also there are things that people can hardly control that destroy many players, usually involvling getting rushed at precisely the wrong time, failed alliances, etc.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

i think i'm out too. i kinda forgot to build an army :\

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Haha, that's true - but those hydras are quite nasty, though..

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

are they blessed?

arco to go

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

not blessed. i played base-pyth. i hadn't made any non-mage troops since about turn 10. that was my biggest mistake. definitely not my only, but by far my biggest.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

cast, i generally make the same mistake

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

you can't generally go wrong buying as many principe as possible; in the early game at least. etherealize them, back them up w/ a few spamming mages, and enjoy the feeling of victory.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

besides the fact that etherealising them means either they have a long march ahead or your mages are near the front

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

a long march isn't a problem. if you're against archers, you'll also want a couple sacrificial arrow catchers.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

a long march is a problem if the enemy has a mage or 2 though

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

come on shmonk, just you to go

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

man, if you can't adapt to a mage or two and are playing pythium, I don't know what to say.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Didn't quite finish my turn last night (as I hoped). When I get home from work I'll finish it and submit it. So about 4 hours or less until then.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

just saying that a long march being battered by mages who ignore your etherealness isnt good

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

ok, just to be clear - etherealness is not a universal panacea - but the discussion was about troops in the earlygame. rarely is one up against dangerous mages at that time. Personally, i'd probably just throw a few more arrow catchers into the fight even if I were facing some bonus mage...
