Invisible Swarm (finished)

Hey Jeffr!! I miss your killer centaurs in this game.

What I like about victory locations is that they: 1) end the game faster. I don't like people just turtling and building up and stretching the game on and on. 2) They put something on the map that is worth fighting over. Something about that is just fun, to me. If I had the experience you did, Jeffr, I might feel differently, I guess.

There are 2 hours left on the timer for this turn. However, I'm taking my computer over to a friend's place to go some gaming. So.. I guess I'll set up the timer again when I get back... But... Caelum has left to take his turn. So, Caelum, why don't you post here before I get back telling me that you tried to take your turn? Because I might be tempted just to host and let you stale when I get back...

Or, maybe I'll leave it on all night and host in the morning if you haven't taken your turn yet.

Anyway, the game is going down until about midnight or so EDT.

Good to be back! I'll monitor this thread to see how this game is going and then jump into the next one, if I may.

I don't want Caelum to stale twice in a row, so I re-set the hosting timer to 24 hours. I probably won't give the full 24 hours, but at least another 11-12 hours from now.

Any word from Remmy? Sucks to lose a player... The game is small enough that a sub shouldn't be impossible to come by, though, if he really is AWOL for good.

I haven't heard anything from him. Yeah, it does sort of suck. Jeffr, wanna play Caelum?

Edit:

Report from the Front: "We have engaged the enemy. A huge unholy terror of a bird has showered flaming destruction upon our ranks. The Prophet is dead. The mercenaries have fled in terror. We've counted at least a hundred charred bodies, their faces mostly unrecognizable. Request additional combat brigades to continue the offensive."

Edit x 2:

Just warning everyone, I am going to be out of town from this monday 5/28 to the next sunday 6/3. I'll be able to take turns both on monday and sunday, though, so really I'll only be gone for tues, wed, thurs, fri, sat = 5 days.

First, is anyone else going to be gone this weekend (memorial day)? And second, I was wondering if I should try to find a sub and maybe slow down the game to like 48-hour non-quick host? Or, the game could just be down for 5 days. I think I will post that I'll need a sub.

Also, i'm going to post that we need a replacement for Caelum (unless you tell me that you don't want to be replaced, Remmy!).

So, I'm getting the impression that Remmy is AWOL. So far, no one has responded to my request for a substitute. I think we should turn him AI unless we get a sub in the next few days.. what do you guys think about that?

I could take over his slot and attack Jurri! :-)
