The deep dwellers have many neighbours, and we are happy to be getting along with them all as they go about their everyday business. With of course the obvious exception

It is strange that we heard no cries from Lanka when they were persecuting and destroying the peaceful and friendly people from Helhiem. Maybe they only object to aggressors when it is they who are the chosen target of aggression? And I apologise for the fish-like characteristics of my fish-like warriors. But when have you ever seen a fish simply stay still waiting to be caught! It is just not in their nature

Many Atlantians are currently enjoying the wonderful messages of Blurblugblubb the Merciful, and they opine that the Sauromatian Lord is wise and mighty indeed. Although they regret that they have no daughters to offer as gifts of appreciation at this time. They are very sorry about this unacceptable position, and humbly seek forgiveness for not possessing the requested offerings

Efforts will be doubled to meet future requests.

ps. This is the first game I've ever had dominion problems in, and amazed how quickly it can go down! Thought (for some reason) that change was limited to +/- 1 candle per turn, but last turn just proved to me that that theory is a complete load of &*%$£!

pss. Some of my provinces have some well weird scale mixes from the various other nations. In fact I think I know every other nations scales apart from my own! Also thought that province scales would only change in the direction of the dominion in that province. But that theory is also faulty as it appears scales can change as dominion goes down in the direction of the dominion that is forcing the down-shift. Think I need to do a lot of forum/manual reading on dominion, since the things I thought I knew about it are way off the mark.

Lanka is in no trouble, with ease we defeated the tyrant of Helheim and liberated the poor people that suffered under his evil ways.
First we were amused by the pitiful efforts of the fishes that tried to invade the great Empire and subdue the good people of Lanka, but now they are just annoying, they run around the Lanka coastline avoiding fights.

Bad News,

Theres some building work going on, and I've just realised my alternate PC location won't be able to connect to the internet. I've had to switch to AI as this is the last time I'll be able to get on the net for about 10 days.

I'll e-mail the admin password to Executor (First name on the list of players who still involved), and he can pass it on to whoever you find to admin the game.

Sorry Guys.

Sorry to hear that,
If anybodys else is interested in being the admin, that's fine,
if not, I'll do it.

Wow, we maybe could have sought a sub.

Marverni is a huge and powerful nation, to suddenly end up set to AI out of the blue.....

Bad luck, RG.

Looks like you're in charge Executor.

Llamabeast's server will be down for 48 hours so I suppose we can just kick back and cool our heels for the weekend.

Any chance of this game switching to a 48hr timer?

There's been a great pace to the game so far, and while I don't want to be the one to slow things down, I stale turned the last turn, and only just avoided doing the same again this turn. I'm still pretty new to MP games, but as far as I can tell the vast majority of games have switched to 48hrs by turn 30 at the lastest. And while it's impressive to still be doing 24hrs at turn 42, it may be taking it's tole on some of the players.

Not sure what everyone else thinks, but I'm going to continue to struggle to keep with this game if it stays on a 24hr schedule.

Haha, I was just thinking about this, after the weekend break. We've made awesome time up to here, but it might be nice to afford a little breathing/thinking room now. I'm not so much struggling - yet - but as this is not my only game..... Well, I appreciate the extra time to think, as well as the comfort of knowing my opponents are not rushed or staling.

We declare war on the unholy kingdom of Sauromatia, they invaded the Sacred lands of Lanka and will be punished.
We invite any and all nation to rid the world of this treacherous nation.

JimMorrison · #10 September 5th, 2008, 05:08 PM

Sieging a castle owned by Marverni is invading the Sacred (read: coveted) lands of Lanka then, is it?

I guess it's party time then. And I would also encourage all of those other people who are taking bites off of Marverni, to take advantage of Lanka's overextended position, and stake a more fruitful claim on those territories.

A shame that you would go to war over one province, and the handful of indie archers that you chose to throw at the situation. We even waited patiently until your sieging force failed and was driven off. Don't tell me you didn't see that army sitting there waiting, that I had dispatched the month Marverni's leader disappeared.

I think you wanted this war, so be it.
