Guys, Nick will not be available for a while. I would prefer NOT to take Pythium
back. On Monday, I will know whether he will be back in the saddle. If you can
delay the game 'till later than 1700 Pacific on Monday, the turn will be taken
by him or by me.

I already delayed it by 24 hours-so i think it will host tuesday morning instead of monday morning as scheduled.

If the llamaserver is not fixed for a week-then the game will be delayed a week. We obviously cannot proceed until it is fixed.

I could use the extra time too.

I have tried to delay it, but it appears it is not working(:

We may all stale except Dr. P who wisely got his turn done early.

Do your turns. LLamaserver is up and running and I successfully delayed the host of the game for 24 hours.

Hi, I won't be home at the usual time, still at work and won't be able to upload my turn in time. Can we delay hosting by 6 hours? Thanks.

Ack, I was too late. Ah well. It looks like Pythium my ally staled also, and that nation's ownership is in question.

Therefore I concede defeat. I will put myself to AI this turn.

Regarding my Epic Hero, the Obsidian Medium, I set him to reseaching for most of the game. After my research was done, I empowered him in death (he started with 2D, I empowered to 4D), and set him to summoning Tartarians.

The other option would have been to set him to forging skull staffs or research skulls early in the game, but I chose to go the umbral route (which requires only 1D path to summon), which sucked up all my death gems and left him with only research duty till late game.

Lolo-great game. Sorry I missed your post for a 6 hour delay as it certainly would have been granted. We had 72 hours for this turn rather than the typical 48, but I certainly would have delayed it another 24 for you. You have been a stellar player the entire game. As an aside, Pythium did not stale.

You did extremely well with Agartha-making it into the endgame with a race that is extremely vulnerable early in the game. The Epic Hero for Agartha is not as potent a fighter as many of the other races. If I had a free hand I likely would boost him-perhaps starting him at 3d? That would allow him to get to 4d with no empowering(skull staff). Since Agartha is weak early, maybe the Obsidian medium could be given a unique weapon as well?

Do you have any specific suggestions for the Epic Hero? Did you get any Worthy Heroes? Did you encounter any other race's Epic Hero to a degree sufficient to have a comment on him?

I have great respect for you as a player and your umbrals. To be honest, after Dr. P frozen hearted my Epic Hero to death, my main goal is to get this game over expeditiously and tweak the heroes. Then there will be an Epic Heroes II game before the final release of the mod.

It appears the Epic Heroes are a force early, but are just one of many thugs by midgame. Having an epic hero with a thug chassis allows some races to imprison that otherwise would never dare to imprison a pretender.

Thank you for playing Lolomo. And good luck to you in your other MP games.
