VesperBat - LA newbie game - upload pretenders!

[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.

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.

[Zenzei]

Oh, if it causes technical problems, I won't sub. Thanks for the clarification llama.

gowb: My high research is simply the product of magic 3 scale and buying the best mage, warlock, almost every turn. Warlock generates 10 points of research per turn with those scales. When I didn't have money for warlock I bought Newts, who was 5 point researcher for 90 gold. I figured I need powerful spells really fast because my troops were definitely sub par, hence the magic 3 scale. Because at this point it doesn't matter, I can tell I had conjuration 3, construction 4 and thaumaturgy 2 researched. Evocation 6 is turn or two away.

You could always sub if you set Abysia to AI Zenzei! I don't like the sounds of this parting gift you have planned!
