Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
Lingchih is only temporarily inconvenienced. He will return shortly, and woe be to anyone that has tried to displace us in his absence. And Ashdod is not without defense without our God in mortal form. Perhaps you have seen our Adons, and their mighty Ahimen guards? If not, just come onto Ashdod lands, and you will meet them first hand.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
Question, after the Overlord pretender has initiated a war and attacked a lesser nation's provs personally, can the Overlord then attack that nation indiscriminately, regardless of dom in it's provs?
Maybe I interpreted the rules too closely, but right now I am only attacking Ermor provs where I have dom, and it is becoming extremely limiting. Like fighting with both hands tied behind my back.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
No, you are interpreting the rules correctly. It's one of the reasons I think they need changed.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
Hehe, and don't forget you can't actually capture Ermor's capital or even siege it. The way the rules are set up it doesn't really make any sense for an overlord to attack anybody but an overlord or a normal who is about to win.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
Yeah, the rules for this game need to be changed. Let's just get it over with.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
Sure, the rules need to be changed--they are prohibitive. But it is far from impossible for an overlord to win.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
want to trade fire gems for nonfire gems of any type...
willing to also trade astral gems for nonfire gems (I'll trade as many astral gems to a player as fire gems as he also requests... 2:2 ratio)

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
So wait, Machaka's sieging my capital. As an overlord, isn't that prohibited?

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)
D'oh! So it is!
My bad, I misunderstood that rule  . For some reason I just read that I was not allowed to actually storm his capital, and I've kinda been playing on autopilot since I was killed.
What can be done here? I'm really sorry I haven't been paying close attention for some time. Do we know what the machine will do if I just go AI?
---
Well, I could just send him a bunch of gems and stuff and then call it even? Would that satisfy everyone?
Although I'm still not sure what we'd do if I went CPU and the CPU marches back onto his cap.
