Re: Game: Fearsome Legions
 

I'm in as Arcosephale

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions
 

mictlan

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions
 

I will give holy Marignon a go.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'd take LA Pythium please.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

R'lyeh, please. Agartha if you would prefer to avoid R'lyeh due to it being the only LA water nation.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Oh, wait a sec. Are we playing with the 3.10 quickfix (that also fixes hydra issue with LA Pythium)?

I will take Pythium any way, but I need to know for creating the pretender.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Ill try Ctis

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I like to have Patala

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I would like to give LA Ulm as shot.

They seem scattered, but extremely dangerous. At least Late Game.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'll take Man. Should be interesting.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Pangaea here!

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'll take Abysia. Does your server have email notification?

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

It will probably be Dom 3.10 vanilla, no quickfix.

I don't think it has. Runs to a strict 48hr quickhost.

I would upload your pretenders ASAP. By Monday if at all possible. Zack the host does not hang around!

I am just being helpful btw, I hope no one minds! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

What, no Ermor? Someone has to but log in, say "Ermor please", and the game is yours. I would, but playing LA Ermor for me is like constantly bashing my head with a shoe.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

You really think LA Ermor is that good?

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

When played by a good player, yes, I think it is very difficult to keep Ermor from winning the game. That said, LA R'lyeh is in this game, and they seem to rack up just about as many victories as Ermor. I've seen it suggested on the forums that both be excluded from Late Age games, to make them more interesting, and I would second that.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'm in. I'll take Atlantis.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

we need Ermor, to balance against R'lyeh.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Please. We don't need Ermor. I'll handle R'lyeh.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'm in as Utgard.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Oh, it's on now.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

ok i just realized how much patala sucks so i like to change from patala to Man

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Elephants and awesome (capitol only) mages? But yeah, I'm not a huge fan.

Cicadian already claimed man.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

They have severe limitations, yes.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Well hey if its okay then i shall take ermor. Dont think its the best but sometimes its the most fun to play whit.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

That was a joke, of course. How in the world would LA Atlantis ever handle R'lyeh? I'm only playing Atlantis because all my faves were already taken. And it's kind of amusing fighting Heavy Cavalry and Infantry with Eskimo Atlanteans.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

if only they had dogsled chariots

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I'll take a chance with Tien Chi.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

I won't jump into this game, I'm still in two. I will however offer to sub for Lingchih and Atlantis if he needs it on a temporary basis. I hope to see how other people play the nation.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Thanks LP. I don't plan on being in the game very long, since it appears I am target #1 for R'lyeh, but I am doing some SP with Atlantis and trying to figure them out. Is there a thread somewhere on how to play them? They don't seem to be as weak as they appear on first glance, but it's still a challenge to see how they can compete in MP.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

You could always stop your self from being a target by supplying me with the lobo guards and shambler thralls which I love so much http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

Well... theres no real strategy guide on how to play them. However, there is:
LA Atlantis, another thread looking for tips

Seal Hunters are by no means great, but they're strong for chaff- don't underestimate them. Harpoons may be useless underwater. Go figure. Not sure.

Their water mages aren't very special- Mictlan and Patala, for instance, have W3 mages as well. Still, its easy enough to get Angakok to W5 or W7 if the random picks are right.

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

i played patala several times and their nationals are just too crappy :/ lost overview which nations are available ?

but i certainly like to join this game

Re: Game: Fearsome Legions (open)
 

ok i´ll take Midgard http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Starting?
 

Are you going to start this one soon Zach? It looks like just about every nation is taken. It's gonna be crowded.

Re: Starting?
 

I'm going to have to pull out. Some things have came up and I'm in 3 games as it is(2 are lategame).

Re: Starting?
 

Sorry to see you go Shovah http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Starting?
 

Errr, so is Patala open?

Re: Starting?
 

It would appear that Patala is open. Join the fun Baalz.

Re: Starting?
 

So how may players are in anyway?- I mean isn't the game too crowded. I don't mind many players but mayhap we need a bigger map.

Re: Starting?
 

I actually claimed Patala last night (on the server, not in this thread unfortunately). Have you overwritten me?

Re: Starting?
 

I would like to play if there is room.. please let me know

Re: Starting?
 

could we not start until saturday? I am away and will not return until Sunday afternoon.

Re: Starting?
 

Nope, just sniffing around. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Starting?
 

I agree. If this is one of Zach's normal 15 province maps, then it is going to be very crowded.

Re: Starting?
 

Marignon up for grabs?

Re: Starting?
 

we have 11 folk currently. Personally, I don't feel like 15 provinces per player makes it crowded, but that's just me.

if folk feel like upping the number of provinces, speak now: I think i can change that before I actually launch the thing.

i'll kick this sucker off in the morning, unless there are objections.

Re: Starting?
 

The map is crowded with these settings true, but even more important to me is I dont like the 75 turn limit.

I have been waiting a while for a new game to start up. But this is the first non pbem game in a while.
