MAN please

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

is the name of your game actually "New Game", as I notice an 8 player ME game has appeared on llama's server called "llamatest"...

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

i doubt it that uses a different map

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

What do you suppose llamaTest could be for?

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!

erm?
yeah

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

The game has not yet been created on the llamaserver. I've corrected the thread title with the name of the game.

I'd like to join as Marignon.

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Great, we're almost there! Meursy, there are no ocean nations on this map. I've held a spot open for you - is there a land nation you're interested in playing?

Also, the game is ready to accept pretenders. I've updated the first post with info about this.

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Another bump.

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

I'll play, Bandar Log

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Hi guys, sorry I just spent 5 hours winning a lost (chess) position against a former student, am exhausted. Will post nation and pretender tomorrow morning.

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Ok, we've got 8 players. Please e-mail your pretenders to the llamaserver (see link in first post if you need instructions).

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

I will have mine in very soon. This one is very challenging for me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Sounds good. How about we aim to get in all the pretenders by Friday so we can start the game this weekend?

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

okay sent

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

OK guys, I picked Arco and I've sent my pretender in and everything's good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Same.

Jazzepi

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Game is started! The first turn is set for 48 hours in case anyone has problems. After that it will be 24 hours for the first 20 turns.

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

If anyone is researching construction early, let me know. I'm sure we could do some trading.

Jazzepi

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

*cough* Construction? Who would research Construction first?!? *cough*

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

Oh man.. I had such a carefully crafted, beautiful plan for the first 5 turns . . . and I screwed it up on turn number 1 by making my dude a prophet instead of patrolling! I Can't Believe I Did That! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif hehe..

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

What do the little crowns on the map mean? I assume they're there for VP games, but do they have any other benefit? Like more magic sites, for example? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

MP is absolutely awesome btw http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Game - MA, CBM 1.3, PBEM - Sign up!
 

vp as u said. dont worry

no vp in this game.

i love u because u love this game


(yes gay but im drunk.... i mean it) (i get where ur coming from well have alot of fun together http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif +

wow sorry bout that lol

Sure...I understand...
 

Hey Dakasha thanks for the info...and although it is hard to ignore the homoerotic overtones of your previous post (indeed I have perhaps never witnessed a more compelling argument for the 'Edit' function to exist), I ask all that would ridicule you to realise that you were ultimately moved to type such alcohol-wreathed words cause you was feelin' me baby! *thumps chest* Right on!

Gee, I'm glad I managed to keep homoerotic overtones out of _my_ post...




(p.s. seriously, cheers for the welcome mate)

Oh yeah...
 

Also I forgot to add that I feel further buffered from any uncomfortableness by virtue of the fact that DakaSha's previous posts were directed at one Scott_Kevill, and not in fact myself.

Which is really weird because I'm sure I remember typing all of this Scott Kevill's messages myself!

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

yeah thats kinda weird lol

but seriously i could just tell that ur excited to be playing MP as was/am i. i just got all drunk about it ^^

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

Yea I love MP.

It IS getting a little hypapsist in here . . . :)

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

And don't get me started on the hoplites...they've got longer spears.

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

Oh yeah, and another newbie question, I noticed there was something in the map description about 'barren seas', and I notice all sea provinces have fairly light protection. So I guess they've been nerfed somehow?

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

they dont produce any gold or resources if i understand correctly. they are just strategical barriers

Forges of Ulm. Open for business!
 

Hi all.

The forges of Ulm are open for business! We can forge anything requiring earth and fire, with some air and nature crafting, and soon astral. Cost will be base item crafting cost per item, + 1 gem per 5.

You can pay me in the base gem cost for the items, in earth gems, in astral gems, and (x2) blood slaves.

PM me if interested! We can currently craft up to Const-4 in items. More to come!

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

eriu...

wow dude

(that was roleplaying man btw...)

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

All the sea provinces have zero population. They're basically worthless besides gem production. Not that gem production is a bad thing.

Jazzepi

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

@DakaSha: No problem, I knew you were role playing. From a role playing perspective it's killing me that Man, having stolen magic from the Tuatha, is now beating them again! What's worse is that I site searched and gave you a free castle with recruitable wizards. :re:

BTW, good call on attacking me. Until I had some research going I had nothing with which to stop you.

@Jazzepi: The impression I got from llama's server was that the sea provinces had no magic sites but I've never played on this map before so perhaps that's incorrect...

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

that thug TORE me up. i was positive ud be done for... so much for that ^^

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

loking to trade for a minimum of 11 death gems. Can offer nature and earth in exchange

Gem trading!
 

Ulm is looking for fire gems and blood slaves! We are willing to buy them with water, astral, and/or nature gems, at 1 of our gems for 1 fire gem, or 1 of our gems for 2 blood slaves. PM me if interested.

The Forges of Ulm are now in full swing! We can now (well, in a couple turns. ; ) craft Const-6 items, for the following paths:
1A/2N
3S/2N
2F/1A/3E
2S/2E

Prices are the same as in my previous post: Base Cost, +1 gem per 5. You can substitute fire, earth, astral, or (x2) slaves for any gems as you wish. Again, PM me if interested.

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

As per the game description in the first post I've now changed hosting to 48 hours. The hosting for turn 21 is now 11:25 GMT Monday.

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

Hahahaha! :)

I'm sending all of my new mage recruits to Battlefield Tactics 101 after one cerebrally challenged astrologer cast Blink after his script ran out, bringing my 15 strong raiding party to defeat against a PD of 1!

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

Hail all,

the rulers of Arcoscephale seek to trade for earth gems, we can offer water gems and some astral gems, send a PM if interested.

And btw, is there any way to stop casters Blinking themselves into enemy ranks after their script runs out? If this is gonna be a repeated occurrence I may have to slightly alter my strategy...like not using mages! :D

Re: Veritas - MA, CBM, PBEM - Started
 

Well, feel like I'm talking to myself here a bit, but I had a question about llamaserver coming back online. My game status page for Veritas, when refreshed, says the next turn is due 21:20 GMT Saturday, the same day llama said the server should be back up (today). Problem is I won't be able to submit my turn by then because I'll be offline until Monday night (for me), which is about 11:00 GMT Monday.

Could we delay the turn till about 12:00 GMT Monday?

Cheers,
Meursy
