MP: GotM: Gardens of the Moon, Game Over: WL wins.

ok friends. It seems like the decision has fallen to cede the game to Ermor.

Indeed it seems I got lucky in the sense the Jotun globals backfired on him strategically and actually bought me precious time to solidify my position.

It was a strange game for me all along. I am not used to being in leading position and this is by design. I hate to have the target marked all over me but in this game it sort of happened and I wasn't able to stay back. Like Pythium's attack on me and my consequent conquest of most of his lands. I had to fight him back, though had been up to me I'd have stayed smaller.

I have enjoyed the extensive diplomatic action. As Ahethyr said, plots within plots, and I was aware of the fact that probably all my allies were just waiting for the right moment to back-stab me so I was anxiously waiting for that each an every turn until BoT & AC came up and I could relax some.

All in all, fun game (regardless of the way it ended) with awesome players.
Thank you so much all. It was great having you on board!
Thank you Calahan for raising the flag early and saving us all precious time.

BTW, I would like to arrange a sequel game. I'm now short on time. Later today I will lay out the details here and invite all of you who wish to do so to join it.

BTWX2 what a mystery with R'lyeh (missing, non-existent?) items.

Ask llama if he'll zip and send you the turn archives from the llamaserver. As that'll give the answer.

[WraithLord]

Good idea but the prospect of sifting through all of his turns is not how I'd rather spend the next two hours

[WraithLord]

I would like to do a sequel but before I open a dedicated thread for it I'd like to present it here to get some ideas and to make sure the players of this game can be first to join.

The sequel will be named Deadhouse Gates - DHG.
Settings should be similar to this game with some differences (in Bold)
Victory condition: 50-60% of # players (15) capital VPs. Each capital is considered to be one VP. Capitals will be marked.
Nations: All MA+ENP1 nations.
Mods: CBM 1.84


Same as GotM:

Hosting Pace: First 15 turns every 24h, turns 15-30 48h, turn 30-45 72h, turn 45-60 96h, turn > 61 120h.
Hosting is planned for busy ppl!
Disallowed exploits: copying Bogus' orders and overfilling enemy lab to prevent his own forge.
Killing own mages under Ankh or LaD to gain freebe mages and troops.
It's ok in a battle but it's not ok to set it up on purpose (whoever likes to do it knows what I'm talking about)
Probing armies with scouts/commanders must be done in such a way so as not to block movement.
Hosted on llamaserver.
Diplomacy allowed.
NAP's are not considered binding.
(I for one have no intention of breaking my NAPs but every player is free to act as he will in this regard)

Expanded Nations Pack 1, it's the warhammer nations one.

[LoloMo]

I would like to reserve tomb kings then please :-)

[WraithLord]

Yes, compiled by llamabeast and sporting, arguably, the top WH and general mods - http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/...?showtopic=379

ENP1 is the WH mod pack, containing:
"
Itza, Servants of the Old Ones by Sombre
Bretonnia, Knights of the Grail by Burnsaber
Nehekhara, Tomb Kings by llamabeast
Skavenblight, Rise of the Under-Empire by Sombre
Ogre Kingdoms, Gathering of Might by Sombre
Dwarfs, Grudges of the Ancestors by Burnsaber
Altdorf, Pride of the Empire by Sombre
Sylvania, Vampire Counts by llamabeast
"

LoloMo, I'm signing you in. Feel free to experiment with the mod and make a nation choice.
I'll go with Bretonnia.

[WraithLord]

Good choice. I really like this mod but I never figured out quite how to play them right

I read the guide and experimented quite a bit but generally ended up frustrated for being sub optimal.

[LoloMo]

I love the pretty sprites! I'll make them work somehow

[Aethyr]

First, congrats WL on a well deserved win.

Second, I'm in, and I'd like to reserve Skaven. I reserve the right to change my mind--I've never played them but they look interesting. I'll either confirm in a few days or select another choice.
