Fame and Riches - game ended, Numahr - Agartha won!
This is a small game for 7 players (1 water) with a penchant for RP-ing.
mods: CBM 1.92 map: Streamlands hosting: llamaserver, 30 hrs, quickhost. victory: consensus. HOF: 15 age: middle special rule1: all diplomacy must be done in the name of a hall of fame commander or prophet of yours. Like he was talking. Active roleplaying is encouraged. special rule2: if someone wants to quit playing this game (due to hopless position), just turn AI, no grudges will be held. special rule 3: all talk should be done in public: here on the forums (like my great forum game a year ago), so this way all of us could enjoy all the fine and creative in-character dealing, boasting, promising, agreeing, betraying, threatening and such. recruiting ettins from sites is forbidden (cbm 1.92 bug). Earcaraxe : Bandar Log Numahr : Agartha Ossa : Ulm Hylobius : T'ien C'hi Anaconda : Machaka Pakoito : R'lyeh Zachariah : Ermor |
Re: Fame and Riches - not recruiting yet, 6/6
I just realized, that there is room for a seventh player on this map. what do u think?
|
Re: Fame and Riches - not recruiting yet, 6/6
Thanks for taking the initiative!
I don't know yet if I can commit to a new game, but let me ask my questions nonetheless: - which age? or all ages maybe? - since diplo is to be role-played based on HoF heroes, do you mean that you cannot play diplo if you don't have any (it does happen that one or two nations monopolize it). It would have huge consequences, like creating a dis-incentive to turtling. If you want to go around this rule, you may want to authorize prophets as well, and thematically it makes perfect sense. - again on diplo: since you take this approach, I have one recommendation: to make it public. When a famous hero speaks on behalf of his God, that must be heard by all... that would strengthen the role-play element, but also of course it has impact on the gameplay aspect... |
Re: Fame and Riches - not recruiting yet, 6/6
thanks Numahr for the feedback!

Re: Fame and Riches - not recruiting yet, 7/7
I like the RP idea - and I'd go with Ulm.

Re: Fame and Riches - not recruiting yet, 7/7
OK I can't always be reasonable - count me in as Agartha, a new attempt after 2 sour defeats! Perfect set up for Agarthan role play actually: after bitterness of defeats long ago, this time Ancient Ones shall rise to glory...

Hi! I can't download the map, can someone point me to a valid download link?
Beside, I support editing balanced starts so that each player has a roughly equivalent "sphere of influence" for initial expansion. I see that Maerlande has already uploaded such maps, maybe we can just use one of them? Otherwise, it is super easy to mod once we know where to locate starting positions. |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
I don't see this game listed on LlamaServer yet. What is/will the game be called?

Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
I didn't get any error message, but when I tried to play the first turn it said I didn't have the right CBM, so I can only assume that my pretender is also a problem since it was designed under an earlier version.
I think we should restart and resubmit our pretenders...sorry about the delay everyone, I'll be quicker with submitting my turns when the game actually starts :) |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
Game has been restarted: Deadnature has to send his pretender in again. When done, please Deadnature, let me know so i can start the game (have to do it manually). To the other players: u dont have to do anything until u get ur new turn 1.

Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
It was an exhausting afternoon in Machaka plateau, and Johannes Kurkunkastaja, the one walking in front of Him who is not to be mentioned nor looked upon, was fasting at the top of the hill looking over Forbidden Forest.
The prophet paid no mind to it first - Forbidden Forest was full of strange phenomena, and Johannes if anyone of was familiar with obscurities. Later that evening, however, the stench grew stronger. He knew already as he descended from the mountain that something was terribly a miss. Down in the walley the first prophet met complete chaos among people; sobbing, crying, wailing. Some were on their knees stretching their arms to the sun, some pulling the hair from their own head, while some just sat on the ground with empty gaze in their eyes. Those strong and samrt enough had cut cloth an covered their faces with it. The foul, stenching wind had death within. The prophet had no time nor interest for the smallfolk, no matter some againts their better judgement tried to seize him and his attention. Those poor things, as they werent suffering enough, were struck down without hesitation by his personal escort. They were the most feared of Machaka infantry, bane spiders bred and trainded in deep Forbiden Forest. Even the place most holy was not safe, Johannes was horrified. There had been losses inside the holiest of the places, too. Most of the youngest boys laid sick, some already dying. After entering the temple of Him who should no be mentioned nor looked upon, Johannes was joined by catamites as he prepared a full night trance. Blood was bled, poison was served, fires were lighted. When sun went down, time was at hand. Falling into the trance, Johannes collapsed on the floor and temple slaves helped his body to a divane located in the middle of the room of seremonies. All night Johannes was shaking and trembling, making sounds so unhumane that the youngest would have wetted their legs if they werent laying down them selves, sick and dying because of that ill wind. The prophet swetted the greystone divane so damp servant could squeeze water out if it. Come morning, Johanne was wake before anyone else. Even the stronger ones standing guard next to him had fallen to fragile, shallow asleep. Johannes didnt mind, no matter those sleeping on guard should be whipped. The prophet was sick of fever but before he accepted some much as a claypot of fresh, cool water gathered from Forbidden Forest, he made the catamites summon a voice of the lord. He had things to share, and there was no time to spare. Those abominations, they were somewhere out there - it had begun! |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
The first of the new born arose. There have been many internal fights between the Illithid houses, but only one prevailed. Aguadillas, the slithering terror, bane of the merman, first of his name, is eager to drink the blood of his enemies.
Numerous and unaware of whats coming to them, the crawling one is looking for an alliance with one of them to provides him with strength inland. |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
The prophet had refused all pain aid before he could reunite again with the lesser priests. He only accepted fresh water from Forbidden Forest saying he would need his full mental potential until the gathering was over. Catamites cleaned his face and body with soaked rags to aid the body cool down. It was little help, but they didnt know what else they could try. Johannes was persistent with his decision.
When the priests started to gather, they made a circle around Johannes outside the temple. The sun was high, and air was hot. No peculiar smells remained. Johannes heard that people we getting their strenght back already. Those who were not dead. The losses were terrible, of course, but even worse was the growing suspicion and anger; how did He, whos name should not be mentioned, accept this to happen? People might be turning from the fait, was the mutual concer of the priests. After hearing their worries, the prophet gently lifted his left arm - all the talk ceased. After a short silence Johannes spoke: "I did not summon you to worry me self with your trivial troubles. What they believe or do not believe concerns me little, and even less Him whos name shouldn not be spoken. The truth will reveal it self in time, and before that its your duty to make their faith grow stronger. But now you are hear to listen, not to talk." And after making sure all voices of the lord were listening carefully, and catamites ready with their blank parchments, he began: "There is a time of great peril ahead of us" he thundered! "This peril is unlike anything we the chosen people have ever faced before. For reasons unknown to mortal soul, such as mine, we are now facing a trial. Powers as strong as His whos name should not be spoken have been rising, and I saw last night, true to my word, that they are at work here and now! But we will accept this trial, for we have no other choise. Listen carefully! There aint only one power challenging Him whos name should not be said, but SIX powers, and all these powers we need to face in order to pass the trial! I assure you, we will finish these challenges and pass!" "What powers are these...." tried some young fool interrupt, but Johannes' gaze silenced him as quickly as he started is abrupt interrupt. "I am coming there" Johannes said. "Know this; rich kings and mystics from a far away land in the East have arrived. I have seen they are the most rich of all people under the sun and they have cunning masters of wicked knowledge. The leader of the tribe is called with a fould name. He is 'Du Qiuniang' and he is the false prophet of a false god from the far East. While they are full of false, their gold is true and it buys true steel. And they have abominations with them; flying men! Loud astonishement shook the circle of the priests. No mortal men could fly! Was the prophet of one and true god so sick with fever he was hallucinating? Johannes silenced them once more by lifting his skinny arm. "Their army aint that big yet, but the gold... its the gold that troubles me..." his voice fainted away, but as fast as the sound died he spoke up again: "There are others, too, like I said. Two of these are gloomy men dressing only in black steel and carrying insignias of moon crescent with them, and pale one-eyed giants from the deepest gaves of the earth." This made the priests laugh. Who would wear only steel? In the deep forests of Machaka they would die of exhaustion. That didnt make them afraid, and Johannes saw it. He spat: "You will laugh less when you see the strenght of their tower shields and feel the bite of their heavy hammers!" "But surely no 1-eyed creatures can offer our archers a challenge" reasoned one of the youngest of the high ranking priests, the same one who had spoken before. That made even the oldest agree. The Machaka people had thousands of eyes in every forest, even in caves. No 1-eyed things no matter the size could beat that! "We will see" was all Johannes said. "But hold your tongues now, or my bane spiders make sure you will leave without them. There are still three powers I have not covered yet." All eyes were on Johannes, when he told of the ape-folk. All Machaka knew the tales of the ape-folk were scary tales meant to make young ones eat their worm meals and drink soiled goat milk mixed with blood. "They do have some treacherous knowledge on astral matters I would worry a little" Johannes concluded, and continued that they were not that big of a trouble yet. "They do, however, have some fearsome heroes. Rolf Magnus (which is a quite untypical name for an ape, he muttered for him self) and Dictatoress of Fashion (which aint that typical either, he kept muttering) are powerfull warriors for their false god. I have seen them faces in my slumber and they were horrible to behold. And especially because their names are so strange, I would be carefull with them, they might not be ordinary, stupid apes. However, I would worry more of the walking dead" he said, and let his gaze wonder on the faces of the audience. No one spoke a word, they only stared back with disbelief in their eyes. All of them were shocked, for dead made to live again was the unholiest of all unholy things under and above the sun. Then the young priest spoke again: "Was this plague their doing? Surele it was, it had to!" "No, there were no smell of rotting human flesh in that wind. It was a smell of dead fish that made our people sick and die" Johannes buried his face to his hands crying, as the bane spiders moved in to cut off the young priest's tongue. |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
When the gathering was over and the high priests were off with their duties (one of the youngest without his tongue) the prophet Johannes Kurkunkastaja made the catamites write down the details of what he had seen during his nightly trance. Only one false god seem to be alive, it was the dead fish, a rising serpent with two heads. And on the each of the two heads there were written mocking names for the true believers. The dead fish seems to be spreading his influence fastest, making him the one that most worried Johannes. The dead fish's armies had conquered already five provinces, hinting the dead fish had got two field armies since the second moon, and the worm seemed to have strong aura of dominion, also. It was this smell of dead, rotting fish that made Machaka people sick and, if weak or sick already, die only in hours. The other contestors seemed still be stirring in their slumber, based on the fact that no rumors of extremely powerfull entities with or without field armies had been spreading around yet, nor any significant research break throughs havent been made either. While the dead fish's lands grew larger by every passing moon, the rich kings and mystics from the East were right after him. Johannes was right, he knew it, by stating that they bought their armies with endless mountains of gold. Mystics and kings from the East had also fielded two armies marching different directions. This endless wealth could only be a work of geniuos master of coins, and it proposes the kings and mystics from the East had a strong economical output in their lands. The ape-folk, of who Machaka often ridiculed, were not a subject for laughters anymore. They seem to have over taxed their own people and had bought foreign mercenaries aid their own, weak infantry. They also had several raiding parties, it seemed, but what happens when the mercenary contracts end? Johannes also knew the ape-folk being paying over-price for their contracts, because he had made some contract inquiries him self. Because the mystics and kings of the East were so rich, maybe they were up for some mercenary contracts after the ape-folk lost their extra cash? The ape-folk and the mystics from the East seemed to have claimed four territories, placing them second larges nations just after the dead fish, who had five. Other people seemed to remain carefull and modest conquering simply single territories, one after another. They now hold three provinces. Slow motion was of course the safest way, but it also surrenders leverage to those who field several different armies at the same time. It would remain to be seen how long the top three contestors could be claiming two new terrotories every turn. At least the kings and mystics from the East seemed to have a whole bunch of sacred troops with them, most likely those abominable flying men Johannes had seen in his fever tormented trance, because the upkeep seems to be way too cheap. And yet the exploits of war had not brought magic gem income for any of the false gods. Dead fish apparently rushed into some, not-so-well hidden water gem stash. Johannes was happy that the Machaka people had made friends with a village of some woodland critters who willingly gave up theirs small stash of gems, placing Machaka and the dead fish ahead of the curve. When Johannes had almost done with his keeper of the scrolls, a winded and fainting messenger arrived from north. The man was a member of Machaka field army and brought a word from one of the most prominent of men, the commander of Machaka armies and a hero of unsurpassed strenght, Chief Mganga. The commander was resting with his army at the coast, when water started bubbling and soon exploded to the sky making the sea rain all over the Machaka armies. Simple infantry men ran for their lives, but the commander had stayed behind with his spiders and saw what monstrous, foul beings were rising to the surface from the deepest holes of the sea floor... but before the messenger could finish, he passed out and soon after died without ever coming to his senses again. What killed him was the same sickness that tormented city folk yesterday. |

To Hunger without Thought, Aguadillas, Lord of R'lyeh
The Great Jörmundgandr, God of Primodial Waters, welcomes the coming of the mind lords. He has asked me to make His thought intelligible to your own intermediaries, so that mutual understanding between our races can be reached. Surely two wise races as old as the oceans and the mountains of this world can find a common ground, whatever metaphysical differences they may have. In this perspective, my Master wishes to recognize the dominion of Aguadillas over all things oceanic. This means that the Agarthans, who are so famous amphibians, will be happy enough with dwelling on dry land and the shallow waters beside our temple. Your captains will have noticed that our main temple has its pillars diving deep into the Sea of Plenty. Grottoes and cavern networks directly connected to the Hall of the God of Primordial Waters Himself are connected to this Sea. This is why this single sea, of such mystical signification - and, excuse us of such trival considerations, security implications, when you think that anyone can reach our Lord's Hall from the sea bed - needs to remain under Agarthan direct control. We are happy with letting your troops pass by the sea for the time being. Our underwater administrators will present themselves to operate the transfer of authority as soon as you notify us. We are also ready to open negotiations for a reasonable compensation of your "right of first conquest" over this little sea. Finally, our Lord is willing to extend further friendly relations if you wish to consider yourself a friend of the Oracles.

Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
To the military HQ:
In our glorious, against-all-odds battle at Saeborea, where the combined forces of our formidable markata archers and atavi stormtroopers showed those tailesses what's our race capable of. And there was that little help from Magnus and his dogs. After that I wandered northward to meet up with reinforcements, while Magnus pushed forward as we split up. It was a magnificent sight, the most formidable military genius of the monkey people (I have to refer to my humble self here) outwitting those savage two-handers. Using nothing more than a couple sophisticated maneuvers with elephants and tigers. Bah! Sometimes it seems impossible to believe, that these humans were our ancestors, as the famed yogi Darwiputra tells. So we had only two hands before we got up the trees! :lol According to Darwiputra, long ago, the most enlightened human ever died, then reincarnated as a markata. Anyway, it seems the scout i sent northward just returned, so back to duty: give a little push these humans in that settlement on the way of evolutionary development.

Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
What unspeakable secrets the deepest abyss of the sea withhold, the commander Mganga never discovered. The stench became unbearable and even the poison resistant, giant spiders needed to escape. The army marched south, away from the suspicious shores. The prophet Johannes Kurkunkastaja met them later that month him self.
The foul vapors caused by dead, rotting fish were almost gone. However, a new threat was rising from north-east. The thousand eyes of Machaka had alarmed priest-lords. 1-eyed giants were approaching the Machaka allies, defenceless smallfolk. Envoys were equipped with a banner of peace; giants surely possesed no threat to fearsom Machaka archers but because no-1, not even Johannes, knew what terrors were lurking in West and South, it was considered safe to try and contact with these giant olms. The message said: Greetings, Nur-i Tagh and you other olms. We the humble spider-folk would like to reason with you. March no further, for the small village called Glimmering Fields belongs to our sphere of influence. If you halt there where you have camped at the moment, we shall consider that an offer of friendship and it wont go unheeded. Machaka people has long memory, and their friendship is eagerly wanted gift from the nature herself. With prayers and exitement Machaka shamans, the commander Mganga and the prophet him self sent the envoys to meet up with these strange beings from the deepest corners of the earth. |
Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
Our Lord the Councilor of Gods wishes to share the conclusions of his latest meditations with our Southern neighbors.
"Water is the source of life, streaming from the mountains where Agarthans constantly keep the guard, to flood into villages of all other nations' villages, wells and fields. Thus We declare it natural that major rivers should become the matrix where the Agarthan civilization meets with the other civilized nations of this world, exchanges and develops mutual beneficial relations." In His desire for a world of peace and mutual respect based on these principles, the Councilor of Gods sent me, his trustworthy servant, to implement His wish. Taking act of the positive attitude of neighbors in this area, I will make sure that the sole Agarthan presence both in the Glimmmering Fields and in Saetica will consist of a liaison office in charge of commercial and cultural relations, just on the other sides of the respective bridges. No political, spiritual or military Agarthan activity will be developed on the other side of the rivers. Equivalent embassies are invited on our own side of the rivers and local lords will make sure appropriate real estate assets are made accessible to these nations' representatives. A banana plantation surrounded by coconut gardens has already been prepared. We further declare that 3 full months should elapse after a declaration of war with our Western neighbor before the actual beginning of hostile actions; and we propose the same pact with the monkey folk.

Re: Fame and Riches - full, waiting for pretender gods to announce their right to god
The kingdom of Tien-Chi has been through a great many changes recently, but none so shocking as the revelation of the new prophet, chosen by the divinely beautiful Li Xue. For the Goddess of the land has chosen a concubine, not a king or general, as her holy representative in the world.
Now, the Red Guards once relegated to royal protection have had their ranks greatly expanded and the divinely inspired Du Qiunniang uses them to carve out a great empire in the name of the true god, Li Xue. With the Empires borders pushed out, strange new nations only once whispered about in legends have appeared with the coming of new seasons. A single Red-caped rider ventures out on the Eastern frontier with a message: To the Ancient Earth Dwellers of Agartha, though the nation of Tien Chi covets the beautiful fields of Villia (85), the most enlightened one Li Xue claims that the cosmos have dedicated those lands to you in perpetuity, should you follow the right course and agree to a peace agreement with Tien Chi, with one season as a warning time (NAP3). - Du Qiunniang, the ridiculously beautiful prophet of Li Xue |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Our Oracles have observed you for a long time, East-folk of Tien' Chi. Not long ago, while our most skillful craftsmen were adorning our deep halls in exquisite marble neo-classical decorations, your people was still a tribe of savage hunters-gatherers. But we have also witnessed your fast awakening, just a couple of millenia ago. We are aware of your finest philosophical findings, which are truly impressive and inspire our respect.
In this context, it is natural to treat you as a civilized nation as well. The Deep Council has approved proceeding with the exchange of embassies; it has accepted the terms of the treaty the most enlightened Du Qiunniang has proposed to us.

The Deep Council notes that Machaka has not yet answered to our friendship message, although their armies has now reached the bridge which we ordered our own troops not to cross.
Therefore please inform the respected Johannes Kurkunkastaja, who seems to hold authority among the spider folk, that we want to know whether he considers our pact [NAP3] acceptable or not, so that we can adapt our orders for his month accordingly.

Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Guys!
I got to know, that some of us has sent PMs already. It is in the game rules, that only public communication is allowed. I have received an ingame letter from pakoito. I think it didnt gave me or him any advantage (so no harm is done yet), and i suppose pakoito didnt intend breaking the rules. However i would like to avoid to have some of us play with different rules the others. So, i would like to ask if we all agree on that "only public communications is allowed" rule (as stated in the first post), or would all of us like to switch to more conventional rules. Or something in between. |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Magnificent and most beutiful prophetess of the Celestial Empire!
The I bear the greetings of our leader, and would like to offer our peace treaty with the Leaders of T'ien C'hi which to be signed at our mututal border, with a season long buffer-time) (Pardon my bluntness and this short introducton, but im in a bit of a hurry as my markata squadrons have wandered away/fighting with themselves/too noisy and uncontrollable) Aruna, Bander General |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
I think the rule of only public diplo is interesting as long as we all respect it (it is a big advantage to "cheat" and make private deals and coordination when others can't)
|
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
I want something in between, public diplo means no plotting and backstabbing and that's the best part of the game. Mix of public-private so we can manipulate each other.
|
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
I joined this game because of that rule as I don't have time to play a full diplo game, so it's either no diplo game or public diplo (which takes mush less time because of the no backstabbing).
I mean we have rules clearly set up first, these should not change during the game - when we choose which games to join, we have to go through reading these rules and accepting them or not, discussing them before game starts, but not refusing them after start, in my opinion. And by the way, either private messages are allowed or they are not - no way to do something in between. If they are allowed, then I will make almost all my diplo through private messages as it is so much better to win (you don't reveal info, you give yourself more freedom etc.). But then the whole concept of the game changes from what I've signed up for. |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
The rules were clear when the game started, everyone had the possibility to decide wether wants to join this game with this rules or not. the first post is unchanged from the start from that aspect, so u can check out the exact wording.
I'm open to changing the rules if there is consensus to (including me). It seems, that there are players who want to stick to the initial rules: every messaging must be public. So, from now on, only public messages are allowed. No PM, no in-game text messages (item and gem sending is ofc allowed), no emails, skype, facebook, whatever. |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Mighty leader of Ulm!
I bear a message from our leader, our salvation, the one who knows all the teaching: Fame has it the best warriors of your army rival even the strength of the silverback bandar gladiators. This makes our people look at your people as respectable, trustworthy and honorable (this must be some kind of gorilla-logic that i, the chosen one of the markatas, the first principle of the Emerged Tailless, cant understand fully). This is an offer of a peace agreement, with a season's length as insurance, to coexist in peace, properity, and mutual grooming. Dictatoress of Fashion, the markata prophet |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Yes, I completely back up these guys in their demand for reading comprehension. Rules were clearly stated, and more over there are practically always many a game without these special restrictions to choose from where as this one was founded under the idea of following certain set of special rules.
One cant, for example, after signing up to follow these rules just one sidedly decide he wont follow the ettin rule and start exploiting it. Mi self, I would not have joined without this open diplomacy policy just because I have so many regular games going on, and more coming up in near future. I signed up for the open diplo (inc. RPG element it brings along.) |
