Those twins sound funny! I wondered where all of Jotun's wraith lords went... Don't know if they destabilize the game, hope not.

I bet the devils made a full circle back to Ygorl, or? What are you dabbling in blood for, anyway; you're Ermor, act the part

Who did kill the two Water Queens, by the way? I'd like to thank him for providing me with more dolls to play with.

that's me just killing all the tough guys and failling the summoning order.
that blood cost me big time, i am not exactly a blood nation.
aah wraith lords only got the two reincarnates.
???perhaps save the game incase of meltdown, and should you send a copy to the dom. tecks???
atlantis broke siege w/ ~25 mages and the queens -it was messy-

forgot to ask did R'lyeh have anything super interesting from the void, like yogsoth or "he who can not be named"?

Jurri · #4 February 24th, 2005, 08:26 AM

I'd say saving the game would be over-reacting; the immortality bug hasn't crashed any games before as far as I know and it would be extra bother on Esben.

I don't think the Void has more to offer than Greater Othernesses and an occassional Vastness... I did see those, though.

Got only three Vastness, and many Greater Otherness. The void is not a miracle maker

You can only get Vastnesses around level 13/20 (summoning level), and are most likely to get one near level 17 or so. You will then only get the Greater Othernesses. You may be able to get more Vastnesses after level 20, but I have never seen it happen (then again, I am not a big R'lyeh player).

Three Vastnesses is pretty good I guess, unless you have killed quite a few summoners to get them.

Jurri · #7 February 24th, 2005, 01:06 PM

Yo, baboune, your fungus is kicking my *** all over the place!

Alneyan, is there a statistic somewhere on the void summons or how do you know?

Alneyan · #8 February 24th, 2005, 01:12 PM

I know *everything* Jurri, that much is obvious. If I don't know it, then it isn't relevant. Oh wait, I was killed, so I ought to set arrogance aside.

This mechanism about Vastnesses/Greater Othernesses has been mentioned several times on the forum, and I have tried it myself. I think one of my mages had a summoning skill of 130 or some such, and only summoned two Vastnesses; an horde of Greater Othernesses had been summoned as well.

The figures for "when you can hope to summon a Vastness" are approximations however: level 13 is the earliest I got one (it could have been level 12 though), and I didn't get any Vastness after level 20. Level 17 is my own guess for when you are most likely to get a Vastness, as witnessed in my own experiments; level 18 is another figure given for this, but I do not believe there has been any official word on this.
