No prob, I'll be more clear in the future.

Still one spot for someone to hop into then!

Hey, I'll give a blitz game a shot.

Game has been started by Vanheim - Is that Attackdrone or some unknown entity?

attackdrone · #14 October 9th, 2010, 08:00 AM

That was me, the game auto-starts when the fourth player sends in their pretender.

Drog the Destroyer · #15 October 9th, 2010, 08:18 AM

I'm quite happy that the game started, I was just wondering who I'm playing with.

Tryfan · #16 October 9th, 2010, 02:23 PM

Abysia: Drog the Destroyer
Vanheim: attackdrone
C'tis: iRFNA
Eriu: Tryfan

And it's on! Best of luck guys. May the most devilishly handsome win.

Bad - having the only central located capital in the game.

Worse - it only connects to three other provinces anyways.

WTF - two of them are in two different enemy hands on turn 3.

Priceless - a turn 3/4 rush by two of the game's three opponents without having a SC pretender. To quote the captain in Platoon, it's been a lovely ****in war. LOL. Guess I didn't get much of a chance to experiment with Eriu after all.

Sounds like a good take on an early game.

Pros and Cons. The little 4 player blitzes are meant for fast results. That does tend to favor certain nations and strategies. But on the other hand, you can quickly move on to another one and get lots of varied experience very quickly. There are some variations.

However, if you have decided that you WANT something different...
The LLamaServer.net has a nice menu driven system to setup a PbEM (Play-by-Email) game.

OR I can set you up another direct connect game to any settings you want. A bigger map? more players? different mods? Anything that is on the LLamaServer menu, mix and match with any of the little blitz style games, and many things that arent in either menu.

If it's any consolation Vanheims so bloodthirsty he also invaded Abysian lands. It's a regular free-for-all.

C'tis must be having a field day somewhere on the map.

Well in a small game like that I fully expect to be rushed by one person. But two inside of the fourth turn? Vanheim made a direct beeline for my capital right from the start like I was selling hookers and beer at 50% off... without knowing where or who it was! (at least, until turn 3)

Still, lots to learn from a game like this. I'll try to make the rivers flow red with the blood of... someone.

Thanks, Gandalf, once I am turfed from this one I'll see about setting up a bit larger one on your server. The custom made ones can be set to show whether or not everyone has played from outside the game like the regular ones?
