Alpaca: 10 player game to test new server(started)

[llamabeast]

I've stealthily switched to 48 hours

[llamabeast]

I just postponed the turn by 24 hours because it occurred to me I might have caused confusion by saying I'd switched to 48 hours (which doesn't currently postpone the next hosting time, although I think I wlil change that because it is confusing). Only Vanheim and R'lyeh to go though.

For your info, I had a nasty bug with one of the heroes( the sentient hydra) in Version 1_7 of my worthy heroes mod that gave him the wrong and pretty overpowered domsummon. It affects EA Sauromatia, MA C´tis and Pythium.
The fixed version is uploaded here:

edit: Just read that you are still using 1_6 so this doesn´t affect this game.

GameExtremist says things are good again post-storm, so I'll switch us back to 24 hours (unless people want to stay on 48). The current turn's hosting time won't be affected though.

All the Righteous of the world mourn, for Shemael, Killer of More Than Anyone Else and mighty Angel of Marignon, has been cut down at the last by the dying armies of Man.

Fear not though, for already the angel Ariel has reached the world and struck down the army that killed Shemael. And yet more angels approach from the celestial realms...

I'm afraid I won't have a chance to take my turn tonight (I'm in a play, and tonight's the last night + after-show party). So, I've requested (and graciously granted myself ) a 12-hour extension.

Well I gotta say this is turning into one of the more interesting games I've played. The diplomacy in itself is smokin'!

And Caelum! Were'nt you supposed to be dead and gone like 10 turns ago! Man talk about thorns in ones side.

But the main reason for the post (besides being a little drunk - Friday night in Oz) is to clear the air with Xietor, Xietor man I hope your not taking my IC (In character) actions IG in an OOC (Out of Character) way. I tend to try and play a nation according to what I think they nations overall alignment might be, in Arco's case NG (although I could be way off here) a society that is concerned with carrying out the letter of the law and nothing more or nothing less.

At any rate I OOC'ly apologize for any OOC grief or frustration this may have caused, IC'ly though Arcoscephale will never apologize or bow down to the Savage halfmen from the North!

Cheers and game on!

While Glom rolls on and our dominion remains flickering Caelum will fight on.

We imagine you are as happy as we are that R'yleh is stewing under the ice given your high (astral) spendin' ways

Imagine how much more trouble we could cause if we had the gold to purchase a point or two of province defence every now and then

[Xietor]

A play! Cool! Who are you in the play?

And no Arcos., diplomacy in its various forms does not bother me outside the game. Though races in this game have, for the most part, strange ways of trying to gain favor with the Lord of the Forest.

We ain't stewing, we be chillin'.

It has been an interesting game. A notable paucity of early game kills and a long period of peace over most of the world has brought us to a face off of mature empires. It's like we fast forwarded through the mid game.

I suppose I would have been better off (and warmer) if I had responded to Caelum's seizure of my lands more promptly, but i was set on conquering the entire sea before i fought on land. I also think i may have set some kind of record for most gems wasted on site search spells that found nothing- the sea is a magic wasteland.
