Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)

[johnarryn]

Many thanks to you both. I have found everyone in this game to both exceptionally talented and exceptionally courteous, and I look forward to playing another game with you folks.

I postponed hosting 24h, because I'm lazy and don't have character, and apparently took Johnarryn's request to delay hosting on the turn after the current one as an excuse to laze about and not play my turn.

Oh, and also because I have power and thus feel the urge to misuse it.

It seems that Sombre has released an updated version of the Arga Dis mod. Since we're so close to the end of the game though, I think it's not really worth the trouble to have you all patch up to it?

Edit: Come to think of it, it's probably the host computer that matters, so if Llamabeast were to update his own Arga Dis mod to check out the changes for himself, all of us would have to follow suit anyway. Or am I wrong about the technicalities? I'll check with Llama.

Llama got back to me, and it's basically up to us:

It's actually completely up to you. The computer I play on isn't the same one as hosts the LlamaServer games you see (that one is a box in my cupboard), so I won't upgrade automatically. But it's only a two-minute job for me to do it, and I will have to do it sooner or later, for any future games with Arga Dis. So really it is completely up to you whether you would like to have the new version now, or it would be easier not to bother for this game.

Cheers,

llama

So anyone who has an opinion either way feel free to say so.

Grrmbl. A couple of miscalculations cost me two nice tartarians this turn. I could have won both battles had I judged some appropiate measures necessary.

On the bright side: teleporting a pretender on top of a big high-MR army of mine with the intention of master enslaving them turned out to be quite risky.

How come your army graph didn't show a steep downward turn with your water breathing global gone, AoE? (That abreviation does look really silly when applying to a person, btw. )

First, my defeat had more to do with a lone air elemental then it did with your MR. My penetration bonus was +6. I didn't plan on it being risky as my pretender was scripted to cast returning... when he recovered from fatigue that is. I on;y wonder why the AI didn't choose to use just one more gem in the initial casting.

As for my armies in the sea, I didn't lose many (some, but not many) because I fortified the armies with water breathing items. I'm a big believer in back-up plans.

I postponed hosting by a couple of hours (again) since I just managed to play most of my turn, only to then 'quit without saving'

I will have to redo it tomorrow after work.
