Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
Baalz's tactic with the stealth caught me very much on the hop as Man, although nothing was quite as crippling for me as being stale the first two turns I was attacked. I was quite lucky I'd hired lots of knights of Avalon: they were just about the only troops I had capable of taking on the thugs apart from Beowulf.
Still, this is only my joint-second MP game, and my only non-newbie game, and I'm just hanging in there to learn as much possible before someone completes my demise. (Note to self: make more use of thugs.)

Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
Agema, you've done a wonderful job in a rough situation. FWIW what I did would have taken the most veteran player unexpected. I attacked with no warning whatsoever, using thugs nobody could deal with at the time and hit every one of your provinces in two turns - you just had the misfortune of being next to me when I hit con-4. Honestly, if you had stayed dead when you were down to just a sieged capital (I badly underestimated Beowulf and was way too slow countering those knights) I would have been able to roll over Abyssia fast enough to have the forces ready hit T'ien Ch'i overwhelmingly the turn that war started leaving me with free troops to fight Arco or Ermor while skirmishing the other. The fact I wrote you off prematurely is directly responsible for my current woes.

PS - not used to big battles with so many commanders. Is there a way to 'fast forward' without having to use the 'n' key? And does orang refer to the Malay word for 'man'??

Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
Silver Orang is just a name I came up with. So it has no intentional reference to anyone or anything, living or dead. Any resemblance to anyone or anything is purely coincidental, and if proven otherwise by a final judgment of a court with valid jurisdiction, it should be considered "fair use" of the term(s) within the meaning of the International Copyright Act.

Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
Bones addressed the faithful:
"Eriu is far from done. But while their Great Mother with 405 hps(in her dominion), 16 revig, 25 prot, and 86 regen, is fighting us, our friends are regaining what they lost.
So other nations should see little resistance in gobbling up Eriu Provinces.
Rumors spread by Eriu that Arcoscephale is attacking Tien Chi's capital are an attempt to sow dissension among the victimes of Eriu's aggression that have banded together to throw his Tuathians back into their own foul lands.
We have a mutual defense pact and a 3 turn nap with noble Tien Chi. And we have worked in concert with Tien Chi. And it is our intention to see Tien Chi occupy Eriu's capital.
Arcoscephale is not an aggressive nation. We treat with our friends, and wreck havoc on our enemies. Any race with a death dominion IS an enemy of Arcoscephale. And we are comfortable with our present borders.
While our forward army was defeated by the Great Mother last turn, we are pleased that our brave troops hacked so deeply into one of her giant legs that she now walks with a limp.
Our Astrologers have also marked the Great Mother for special attention should a Nation with Blood Magic desire to send a Horror or 4 to the province in which she dwells(180).
Now that we have seen the Beast, our Astrologers are busy studying methods to bring her down!"

Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
New Patch 3.14 is out.
Llamabeast says for the turn that hosts next, you can use old version, but you must download the patch for next turn.

If the servers 3.10 and you use 3.14 you will crash the server and the turn will not run until your 2h file is deleted.
Meaning you will stale or after do your turn all over again from scratch using 3.10.
Copy your dom exec to your desktop, rename Dom310, cut/paste it back where it was. Then install 3.14. Now you can play sp 3.14 and use the 3.10 exec to do your turns.

Re: The Battle of Water and Earth
I would send in your turn before downloading the patch(just to be safe). But Llamabeast says you can do it either way for this turn. Everyone must use the 3.14 version for the turn after this one.

Llamabeasts tech knowledge is far superior to mine, so I am probably wrong but I am sure he said that last patch and there were problems.
My way is 100% safe and I have been throu all the patches from 3.00 ---> present.
