after my 1st game (this is my 2nd) i have no trust.
stabed in the back twice (differnet players). and a very rude(actually verbably abusive w/ personal death treats) player. has left a very bitter taste. hope this one is substantually better (cann't be much worse). (note:the 4 other players i had contact with were very good).

?are you implying that he will have the master password?
what can one do w/ the password?

i play for fun and would be happy to do boarder skimmies till the cows came home but other are very aggressive and have different goals (as my 1st game pointed out).
I will see how this game goes and ajust my dom behavior to match.(ie if everyone backstabs or gangs up on one, conversly players hold deals true(barring mistakes) and attacks one another).

but look out i have soulless and not afraid to use them BTW what is the ratio of soulless vs vineorges w/ mages? 50-1? i find the AI to be tough but i must lack experience by the tone of the disscussion Boards vs AI.
Several things.

1. I'll not bring a friend into the game, if one or several players distrust him, before he has had a chance to make his own mark.

2. I already wrote the former Ulm player and suggested a joint move against Ermor. Which is a perfectly natural thing for neighbours of an undead empire to do. Any new player should be free to make his own decisions. Other- wise we may as well let the nation go AI. I have also made very little secret of my intention of attacking Ermor before their hordes darken the sun.

3. In my experience the exchange rate is around 20 wandering undead to a vine ogre. Keep 'em coming and my archers will all end up with 5 star experience :-)

i say, let knudsens friend fill in as ulm. ulm has enough problems with ai pangae and indys. can we make non-agression-agreedment between new-ulm and ermor for a 15 turns? would that be ok for rex_havok?

please invite your friend to play.

I don't think whoever is taking over Ulm should be restricted in their diplomatic choices...

I certainly echo the sentiment; I mean, like Knudsen says, it's the same as playing against AI if a nations decisions are made from any other basis than what is good for the nation.

Rex, why are you so suspicious of anyone subbing for Ulm? I mean, why would Knudsen's friend do any other decisions than would someone completely different? I'd like to get a player as soon as possible, so as not to stall the game any longer. Although with limbo taking a trip we could look for someone completely unrelated. I however, would feel more comfortable with a personal friend of someone than I would with a name on the screen, since the master-password can be abused and all.

Even if Ulm DOES do something "weird", well that's how the game goes.

People are unpredictable, unreliable... that's just part of playing multiplayer.

Latest news

My friend, Rasmus, is all set to take over Ulm. But he ran into trouble logging in with the password he recieved and is currently awaiting further guidance from Limbo.

In the meantime. Lets talk about how evil and unnatural the wandering dead are ;-)
