Alpaca: 10 player game to test new server(started)

[Sieger]

I've sent two e-mails to turns@llamaserver.net, waited over an hour in between each, neither is recognized by the server. The website has been up and down, but last time it was up it hadn't recognized my submitted turns, either.

Caelum is soon to be no more. I have been too clever by half. I thought Dark Skies would be the perfect sheild against rampaging Arcoscephalian elephants - don't need to buy many troops, just rely on my high dominion coupled with Dark Skies to see those animals off.

The clever bit was luring Arco's armies deep into my territory so that when I counter-attacked I could destroy them en-masse. But the elephants just won't rout.

Looks like the server finally accepted my turn, third time's a charm!

[Xietor]

It just accepted my turn. It loves me!

Yeah I'm a little surprised they haven't routed. With a -1 morale you'd think they'd be a little more flighty. But I don't actually think they are making many morale checks due to them not actually taking many casualties.

I'll PM you a tactic that would have worked for sure though ; )

[Digress]

I thought the fear effect of the false horrors would do the trick. Obviously misread morale check mechanics - I thought being exposed to something causing fear was enough to force a morale check.

Maybe the fear aura has to cover more of the squad ?

When it didn't work the first time maybe I shouldn't have given it a second go ?

Well you squashed the army I had planned to deal out casualties with early on - Blessed Mistform Pegasi and Temple Guards I thought would make a mess of you but it wasn't to be ....

[Digress]

In a couple of those battles your estimate of -1 morale seems almost a little bit optimistic.

I am pretty sure the majority of your elephants of were -2 or worse and the footsoldiers behind them not a great deal better.

Okay, I've now completely changed the setup for the llamaserver to entirely bypass the stupid company (123-reg.co.uk, in case anyone's interested). Apparently this will take 1-3 days to come fully into effect, but once that's done we'll hopefully be back to full reliability. Of course we might well be back to full reliability already, if they've fixed their problems - there's no way of knowing.

With my last, choking breath, I curse you, Marignon.

Our only consolation is that you have but two - TWO provinces to show for all the blood and treasure you lost defeating me. Pangaea, though first to feel my sting, got off comparatively lightly, which they wouldn't have done if I'd been free to mindhunt instead of needing to march all my magi around to serve as communion whores. The humiliation! Conquered by naked beastmen.

From the depths of hell I spit upon thee, Marignon. It seems that you have supborned R'lyeh with your silver-tongued lies - we can only hope that he betrays you with exemplary savagery.

Peace out,
