Don't forget to patch to 3.17, guys, as the server has been patched. If you are using Linux and are having problems, uninstall Dom3, then reinstall and patch directly to 3.17. Coobe had some trouble on Ubuntu and got rid of it that way.

It was the interim patch that we bugtested to iron out all the blatant stuff so the release version would be okay. Version 3.17 was released today. The version numbers took a hiccup with the fix from 3.14 to 3.15 to eliminate the scale bug.

So, C'tis has finally breached the gates of Ulm. Now let him come and dig us out, if he has the resources to do it...

I'll take Epic failures for 1000 alex......


I don't think I could have won that battle, but the way in which i lost it makes it that much worse. I definetly need to work on my castle taking skills.

Hum. I thought I might do some damage, but that was brutal. Well, I did warn you that I have a long, bony reach from the grave!

For those who did not have scouts in place:

The might of C'tis

The aftermath:



The ones that got away were the prophet, the mound fiend and the titan, though the titan got herself a nice limp as a souvenir. Wish I hadn't lost the fireballers and the ice druid, though, but it was inevitable that I'd lose a lot of commanders with the scripts I had. The main point was in eliminating as many C'tissian mages as possible and in that regard, it was an unqualified success.

My biggest screwup was my impatience. I was sending a scout to see what you had the turn before, but psycho dropped a seraph on me that casted returning after 2 turns. Unfortunately my probe commander was on the back row scripted to retreat. Which canceled his scouting attack.

So the next turn I said screw it and went head first into brick wall. Which resulted in a bunch of sauros spamming fear on undead units.

The other mistakes were having 1 too few gems for darkness(not that that would have helped), not even trying to dispel/override GoH, and didn't learn from my first mistake of putting my mages forward in hopes they'd cast on mages.

Live and learn though. Hopefully you guys learn from my mistakes.

You should feel pride Carkaton, not only are we learning from your mistakes, we're also getting entertained.

Quite a bargain.

The idea was to screw up your scripting. I figured that a seraph is mighty enough so that your mages would use up their gems. I though you would attack on the first turn like when you sieged my castle.

I knew what Edi was planning and I actually thought that he would devastate you. But I expected that he would protect his mages better and not take such heavy loses himself.

Edi, I doubt you'll read this before the turn submits, but I forgot that I have to go to a wedding, I submitted a half-assed turn, but if you happen to see this and extend it a few hours so I can finish it up I'd appreciate it.
