We'll pause for 24h for Zeldor--hosting now scheduled for 9pm Boston time Wednesday.

Ferrosol, if there's some kind of steganographic message in there, you will be severely punished! I'm watching you, buddy!

djo, who has been waiting for an excuse to abuse power, and Pasha just handed over the reins, the fool...

Zeldor · #82 June 30th, 2009, 04:58 PM

Ok, got my turn in, my MB is barely working, gotta order new one. Don't use that as excuse to slow things down

djo · #83 June 30th, 2009, 06:14 PM

Having announced a delay, I will not go back on it unless all turns are in. That being said, I am only waiting on one nation. If I receive their turn tonight, I will host tonight. Otherwise, they have until tomorrow.

Turn 21 is out. Next one is due Thursday, 9 pm.

Let me know ASAP if there are any problems!

Man down, man down...err...cave-dwelling monster-thing down!

Agartha is AI, and I want to whittle down my list of guesses, who was at the helm? =)

djo · #86 July 2nd, 2009, 09:16 PM

Turn 22 is out. Next turn is due Sunday, usual time, usual place. Send turns to Pasha!

Geez, Micah, you're fast. I was going to let Pasha announce it, but...Agartha was played by Wraithlord.

I say, if you're gonna lose might as well be quick about it

Anyway, my mistakes apart, EA Agartha sucks, even it's elite troops can't hit a damned thing. Being gang banged didn't help matters either

Good luck all.

Hard Luck WraithLord. I'm playing EA Agartha in Legends of Faerun, so can sympathise with you on their suckyness.

Think it'd help EA Agartha loads if those Umbrals could be de-nerfed in CBM back to Conj5 to give them a fighting chance. Conj7 is a painful amount of research to expect a nation to have to get to just to survive.

WraithLord · #89 July 3rd, 2009, 07:01 AM

They need something to compensate for their abysmal attack. Perhaps national net throwers?- They are after all a race of amphibious cave dwellers. The may not eat the fish but perhaps they use them for other things, like rituals or whatever

It's not their only problem though. They have no national access to astral (critical) and nature (quite important). So if you take an SC to survive to initial phase you have nothing to show for the end game (unless you get lucky with indi mages.)

Add to all that cold blooded, so in fixed locations map you can bet on all your neighbors taking cold-3.

Worst - It's no secret that EA Agartha sucks so you can bet on said neighbors attacking you at the slightest sign of weakness, or just attack you anyway.

I'm sure I have made my share of mistakes with EA Agartha in this game, but frankly - it's not like there's much to work with .

Oh and a moment of self confession: when I got the mail from Pasha assigning EA-Agartha to me I immediately put on a sad face knowing this game is lost for me. Hope to have better luck in my next RAND game

I didn't expect Agartha was you, huh. I agree thay are rather weak, but they should be able to expand against indies a bit faster - I think you had some problems with it early on.
