VesperBat - LA newbie game - upload pretenders!

Keep us updated on the war to the north guys! It looks like Man, Mictlan, Jomon and C'tis all lost significant amounts of troops recently, while Midgard took a bunch of Abysia's lands...who is fighting whom?? Spill the beans!

[Wookie1977]

Arcosephalian Scholars have released earlier documented reports and negotiations between the 2 nations Atlantis and Arcosephale.

Peace loving Arcosephales earlier request to the Atlantians
"What would it take for a peace agreement?"

Response from the former Warmongering Atlantians.

"The only peace treaty I would be willing to accept considering current power distribution is that I would not go westward beyond that river. Any territories lying eastward are easily within the reach of my forces and I consider them mine. If you can somehow migrate westward, you can save yourself." (Westward would have involved leaving my Capital to the Atlantians)

Victory can be so sweet!!

The realm of Midgard retaliates to the invasion of her rightful lands by the vile Abysians. Though advanced in arcane lore, the enemy magicians lack gems and their troops are as cowardly rabble. The flame shall be extinguished and the frigid North reborn anew!

Reports from elsewhere on the continent indicate hostilities raging between the forces of Ulm & Agartha. Key chokepoints are contested - it shall be of interest to see how it plays out.

[Arghaii]

"Captain Scar", the right hand of the prophet of Nosphestes, "El Episcopo", issues the command and the Knights of Marignon ride towards the northern port city of their nation to arrest a band of barbarians. The trespassers, led by a chieftain who dared to bring the northern wars to the shores of Marignon, decided to resist arrest and were inevitably slaughtered.
"These outlanders fight like maniacs, I will give them that", Scar makes a mental note to himself.

Abysia are you still playing?

[gowb]

Abysia has gone on all his turns, yeah. Far as I can tell he's still in - if he can last long enough to put that research to good use he stands a nice chance.

[Zenzei]

@Wookie1977: Abysia(me) is certainly done for in this game but I won't go AI because I definitely want to be in control of my last stand defense in my capitol. AI is unable to give a proper parting gift to the sieging Midgård army.

I'm bit sad that I lost my chances to put up some real fight against Midgård's armies because of some really weird game error. The error in question was that my second castle reset its construction time when it had only one turn left, it is possible that I somehow royally screwed up the orders of the commander building the castle but highly unlikely because I'm very careful with my turns. Needless to say my main army had to stay put in the construction site for another 6 turns instead of fighting Midgård's, at that time still small, forces. During those 6 turns Midgård took most of my provinces for free and then overwhelmed my main army before the castle was built again. If my second castle had been ready in time, I could have at least defended my lands properly instead of being walked over.

Attention everyone: C'tis player's (edhel) windows has crashed really badly and he his unable to play this game for time being. So unless someone objects I have promised to sub him until he gets his computer working again, this shouldn't take more than five or so turns. This means I would control 2 nations at the same time but since Abysia is only waiting for the final battle behind their sieged capitol walls this shouldn't be a problem.

[gowb]

That's a bummer. I hate to see people lose because of glitches, its lame. Anyway, how did you get that much research going so quickly? I've been pumping out skull mentors and I still haven't caught up...

Good luck with C'tis. I'm told by Llamabeast that one player controlling two nations in the same game can sometimes cause trouble with CD keys or something, and force one of the nations to stale, but when I set Atlantis to AI it had no negative effects (unless llama went in after me and corrected it, which is possible since I had asked him to).

[llamabeast]

Yeah, that won't work Zenzei - you'll get a CD key violation like gowb says. Better put an advert on the forum for a temporary sub.
