Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I'll give LA Atlantis a go. I've never played a water nation to good effect so I figure this is my one chance to play a water nation that starts out on land.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

oohhh, nice

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I'll go with Marignon :)

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

good, gooood.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I would like to try Patala please !

Arnob

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

arnob, nice :)

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I'm no newb, but defenitly not a good player. May I join anyway?

If so - Ctis plz.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

Ossa, welcome.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

Pencil me in for Bogarus please. I don't want to commit to too many games, or they will all suffer. I'll let you know if my availability changes.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

TigerBlood, welcome.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

Since I'm not losing fast enough in my other game, I'd like to try to lose here. Is there still room for a bad player for Utgard? I want to see if nether bolt flinging Seithkona can do any damage.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I want to take Pythium, if its still avaiable :)

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

krpeters, Terran, welcome.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

I noticed the little question mark by my name so I'll go ahead and agree to this game in earnest. Looking forward to playing something completely different than T'ien Ch'i.

Re: Morla LA noob game (recruiting)
 

XD, ok. question mark removed :D

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

OK, we are 8 players, arnob sorry i thought i added you but it seems i didn´t :doh: .

the Map: Land of Legends (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43144).

what do you think if i increase the magic site frecuency to 45, i like a little more magic in games.

tomorrow i´ll upload the game to llamaserver, the name would be "MorlaLAnoob". until then you can change nations and make suggestions to the game settings.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I sent the pretender to MorlaLAnoob and got it bounced back :/

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

The game it´s up in llamaserver. Name "MorlaLAnoob", you can send your pretenders.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

Ok!

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

Sent

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I just realized, I'm going on vacation Oct 12, I won't have internet access for a week. What should I do? Let someone else have my game slot? Start and look for a temp sub? Stale for 7 days?

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I'm not sure what is going on. A long stale early game would probably be a bad idea, in my opinion. I don't mind starting later, but my (limited) experience is that week long breaks tend to kill games that are in progress.

Happy to respect any decision though.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

If you can find a temp sub that'd be great. other than that, it's probabaly better to delay :/

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

nonono, don't delay the start of the game on my account, that would be silly, the game will never get off the ground if you wait that long. It sounds like the best thing to do would be just find someone else for spot 8 altogether since we haven't started yet.

Sorry about all this, I wasn't thinking when I saw the looking for players post.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

Then?

We look for another player or we start and the stops?

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I vote to start. Then we can search for a temp sub, he is out 1 week, that's 3-4 turns.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I vote for start too

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I agree with triqui. Let´s start, find a temp sub and continue playing.

I´ll send my pretender (tricky for Jomon) in a few hours. And let´s hope for a sub :D

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

OK, my pretender is in. Sorry about causing the confusion.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

Arnob?

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

I PM arnob, no answer. So i´ll wait till tomorrow, we can start the 7 of us, or look for another player.

Re: Morla LA noob game (closed, design pretenders)
 

:cold: the game started by itself, so be it. :D

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

arnob are you ulm? who is ulm?

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

puh... send in my wrong pretender:( Anyway, I'll try my best...

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

I see everyone sent in their turn; shouldn't it host now? It looks like Quickhost is set...

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

I sent llamabeast a PM about this; this isn't the only game that seems to be having issues. Hopefully this will all be fixed swiftly and without undue work on llamabeast's part.

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

shatner thx, i am about to do the same. :)

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Just a heads up, llamaserver was having troubles which seem to have passed. However, I never received my turn 2 file and had to manually request it resent to me. If you didn't receive turn 2 either, you should probably do the same.

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Yep, I did not recieve it too, thanks for the advice

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

:/
Ah, bold tactics have risks, I guess :(

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Turn1:

Assasin agains my prophet. LoL

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

War!

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

I hate my scouts.

"A handful of hydra hatchlings approach", ok, some troops reinforced by PD can handle those, I'll go swat Jomon for a bit.

Nine hydras show up. Oh. Ooops.

Pythium, those heads you see on poles as you approach? Yes, those are my scouts.

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Well, 9 are a handful. Or two handful :P

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Hey Marignon, nice capital. We'll take it! Sure, we took two of your provinces + hold your capital under siege, but I'm sure those three overtaxed provinces you took from us were worth just as much... right?

Don't worry though, it'll take us at least another turn, maybe two, to tear down the walls. It's not like your army is way down south separated by slowing terrain and distance. Oh wait...

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Bogarus wishes to inform the heathens nations of the world that their plans for expansion are about to be realised.

Any nations that wish to placate the Red Army with diplomatic posturing should send their proposed terms and conditions for non-aggression pacts now.

Oppose Us and We will break you.

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

I'm still wondering where those armies come from. I thought you weren't adjacent :/

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Since this is a noob game, in the interest of good sportsmanship I'll explain.

Attached is a screenshot (heavily cropped to protect the innocent and guilty alike) of my move on the previous turn (turn 12). My forces are amphibious so they were chilling in province 100 in the bottom right. That province is connected, via the river, to the water province in the top left (province 146), which is itself adjacent to 139, your capital.

Sailing, which my commander has, allows him to move himself and all his troops over adjacent water province A and onto any land province adjacent to A... so over 146 and onto 139. Note that when sailing you must end your move in a land province and that you can sail over precisely one and only one intervening water province.

Normally people are sailing from one land province onto another land province divided by a water province. However, the sailing mechanic doesn't actually care whether the province you are originating from is land or water. This rarely comes up because there are no commanders with sailing and amphibious... except LA Atlantis' capital-only mage, the Angakok.

In many ways, LA Atlantis is a pretty narrow, uninspiring nation. However, they do have some cool perks, this being one of them.


Edit: Also, Booya! Surprise naval assault!

Re: Morla LA noob game (running)
 

Finally, since water provinces tend to be very large (and therefore be adjacent to a lot of other provinces), sailing can sometimes allow moves that are as far or farther than if you had flying. And, unlike most forms of flying, sailing allows you to take all your troops with you. Also, you can't fly over water anyway.
