Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

[Steerpike]

I have that patch though

[Aku]

Something strange happened to me too this turn. My capital got 37 unrest and I had no random events. Very weird. And i am on patch 2.14.

save the file and send it to illwinter

Grim Knight can you verify that the newly reinstalled server is patched to 2.14?

[Grim Knight]

Yes, I closed and restarted the server and in the main menu it definitly says 2.14.

So consider it confirmed.

The only thing I can think of is the possibility that it is somehow reading old data from one of the previous starts. At least this is the only thing that comes to my mind as a likely possibility, so it may be a good idea for everyone to clear their old game folders and let them be recreated when next you connect to the game.

turn 9 is up

[Steerpike]

Phew! only one exam to go.
The lack of info on my noble opponents is doing my head in a little bit, this is the first time I have played with stats off and I like it a lot but I crave to know more and I havn't found a province with scouts yet.
Little tidbits of info get through though to tantalise the tastebuds, such as Devil Queen dying (you have plenty of Mercs to ease your pain Abyssia), or Red Dragon who had such a hard time in the aborted Newbie Slugfest 2 is now a monster seemingly taking all before him (or her, I think the Females are bigger ).
Yes things are starting to get exciting in an opaque kind of way.
Please let me take a province with cheap scouts next turn.

Devil Queen dying? Just another immortal VQ likely...

Ah, but I have already found the Giants and the Harpies!

As for the Devil Queen dying, sadly this is true. Attacking blind early frequently causes this little annoyance. But dying increases your ranking in the HoF, for whatever odd reason! Each death is worth something like 10 points in the HoF score.

It is also amazing what can be gleaned from the only stat that is always on, the HoF. I too saw just how happy Boron must be with the restart!
