Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

Hi,

I would like to play Agartha.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

Can I join in as Abysia?

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I'd like to join with Arco, please.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I'll play Jomon.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

Sign me up as Tien Chi

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I'll take Gath.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

why renaming off?

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I'd be interested in playing Bogarus, but having renaming off is a bit odd. Any particular reason why? :confused: I'd also prefer 36h turns, since I'm in the southern hemisphere.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

36h should be ok - but, just out of curiosity, do you have longer days down there ;) ?


Renaming shall be on, then.

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

Days are the same length, but it's often night here while it's day time for you northern folks. :)

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

If your still open, I'll take Atlantis

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I might be retarded, many have claimed so, but I thought that day vs night had no difference in northern vs southern hemisphere. Like it's daytime in USA, so its also daytime in Argentina, but it's night time in Australia and China. West vs East, not North vs South. Am I wrong?

Re: Doomsday 4 [recruiting]
 

I'm pretty sure you're right there, I didn't phrase it very well. Due to differing time zones, I'm not sure I would be able to play my turns within 24 hours.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

This map is way to large for only 8 player. That's almost 35 provinces each. 25 is generally considered large.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Are you going to give us the port number so that we can upload our gods?

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

The games on llamaserver, so its PBEM. Don't need a port number. Heres the llamaserver faq if anyones having trouble.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Pretender uploaded, ready to go.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

What is the exact name of this game so I can send in pretender. Is it Doomsday_4?

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Yes it is. You can find it here: http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Doomsday_4

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Thanks bud, I will send it in when I get home.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Some interesting god names in this one. I like Agartha's a lot.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

You're the Best :up:

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Actually, Gath's is probably the best because it's the only one that refeferences anal trauma.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I try my hardest :)

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Everybody please turn on your private message option.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I need another 12 hours to get my turn in, it fell in a strange time in my work schedule where I don't have time to play until after work today.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

No problem.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I'm taking a little football trip, would it be possible to extend the hosting time for turn 36 by 36 hours (I just submitted turn 35 and I'm back Wednesday afternoon).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Hi,

can we get an extension till Sunday afternoon, 'bout 36 hours.

Tnx in advance.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Hi,

I won't be able to play turn 57 until thursday afternoon, can we extend the hosting a little? I think 12h should be enough.

Thanks in advance,
odedoderok

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I'd like to start a poll to see whether anyone things GFnsl has *not* won by now. Especially as he has a major nexus up now, is leading in all scores by a factor of two, I was the only one fighting him and he has handily beaten me;)

I do not think anyone can stop him, neither alone, nor together, and therewith opt to declare him the winner of this game.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I'm sort of out of the equation at this point, but if all the other nations teamed up against him they might have a shot.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I admit that the last 10 turns or so have been rather boring, simcity-like play. I was planning to attack Agartha as soon as I was finished with Abysia, but the Astral Corruption really screwed me. I can understand you using it though, I just suspect that it hurt your potential allies relatively more than Agartha.

Combined with lowish gem income and continous attrition on booster items (think I lost couple of artifacts to horrors too as I forgot them on forgers), building up was painfully slow.

I can continue if everyone wants to keep playing, but I have no objection to conceding to Agartha.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

If there is no one who can dispel AN in the next turn I do think I have a rather large advantage.

But it's all up to you if you want to concede.

P.S.
That was a rather nasty battle for me last turn Marignon.
Infernal prisoned tree of my SC's and burned almost my entire army :(.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I'll also be done with Bogarus in a couple of turns, and could join in the dogpile vs Agartha. Maybe if we pooled our gems someone could dispel the AN?

I was also royally screwed by Astral Corruption..

Arco

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

As an educated guess, I think he's getting more than 200 astral gems per turn with this nexus. Which probably has 500+ gems cast into it. And this is on top of him having twice as big gem income as everyone else.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I will of course join any gem pooling if we decide to continue. Just don't expect too much from my contribution - my astral income has been abysmal throughout the game and I would have to alchemize most of my gems to produce even a token amount of pearls for the effort.

TC

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

If noone objects I'd call the game and declare GFSnl the winner. I'd close the vote on Saturday morning if thats ok for you.

Concede:

Ossa
GFSnl

Undecided:

Odeoderok
Thanatus del Dragos
vargr
Admiral_Aorta

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Well, my regular troops are a paper tiger at this point and I'm lacking in gems and booster items.

So I concede, but will play on if majority thinks otherwise and everybody joins the crusade now :)

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

As I am down to just my pretender hanging out at my capital which is under siege by Arco, I'm not sure I should have a vote. If I was one of the other players I'd vote to fight on, even if just for a little while.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I vote to play on for a while anyway, for the learning experience if nothing else.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

I could have still tested some endgame stuff aswell. However, in this situation, I don't want to keep the game on if anyone feels doing the now rather laborous turns as a chore. Afterall, a motivated effort from all of us would be needed, and still the outcome seems pessimistic.
So I stand by my conceding.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Before I punch in the 100+ orders, are people still in this for real? There was no dispel attempt..

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

there wont be - noone has enough gems I think.

GFSnl - if we declare you the winner, would you mind putting yourself to ai and let us see whether we can win against your nation minus your leadership;) ?

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Sure, but you'll be facing hordes of chaff.
And there will be no one to mind hunt your Demon Lords. Did I get really lucky there, cause I thought he had a MR of 25. :shock:

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Then herewith and by the powers bestowed upon me as Admin I declare GFSnl the new god of Doomsday. May he show mercy upon his former opponent pretenders.

_______________________________

Well played! I didnt know how hard it is to get through to the mages if there are 50+ cave knights in between. And I went for Con-8 before I went into battlefield clearing spells like flamestorm. Coupled with the fact that I never believed hordes of undead to be a problem with holy pyre spamming mages, but I forgot that I didnt have an earth bless for them, as I had normally.

I'm also impressed with Zmeys with lycantroph amuletes, it takes a horde of micromanaging to catch those things.

The game was decided right after the beginning - you expanded faster and research faster than anyone else. After you invited me to join the attack on Jomon I knew it would only serve to make you even bigger. So just for the sake of the game I had to attack you. Unfortunatly noone joined me, otherwise we might have at least given you a few problems before you chunked out too many SCs.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Congrats GFSnl. The expansion was indeed good - by the time I was boxed in at the corner Agartha didn't seem too nice as a target. So I attacked Abysia but after that was over it was too late..

Ossa: was the magic sites settings really at value 65? I searched quite vigorously and the yield was disappointing. Especially the lack of astral hurt.

Re: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]
 

Yeah, I had trouble finding magic sites as well. Congratulations to Agartha.
