Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

[namad]

dang i actually lost a unit to the wild hunt... seems if the commander routes it dies (assassination style battle)

if you need any help killing the caster of that spell and there's anything i can do to help lemme know cause... all my mages are priests and if i have to script all of them and/or lose more of them i'll be inconvenienced

[kianduatha]

You're already helping him suicide, don't worry

[namad]

wts lots of dwarf hammers in exchange for something that is not fire gems (other gem types or... use your imagination ... pm offers)


also interested in trading my fire gems away for some non-fire gems.... willing to do 12fire gems for 10nonfire (feel free to pm and haggle worse offers)

[LupusFatalis]

You can pm me with an offer if you like. Last time I offered you something the response was "your craaaaazy" or something like that, lol.

[namad]

want to sell dwarf hammers, accepting payments in any gemtype besides fire... reduced prices!

So, we should probably put some game counters up. I have a vague idea who is winning, but by no means a complete idea.

Heh... leave it to me to finally play Ashdod, in a game where they cannot attack anyone.

[Squirrelloid]

I am winning. No. I have already won.

...

I'm not playing anymore! =p

(BTW Baalz, hoped you liked getting your teeth kicked in by a dying nation =). Damn blood sacking skinshifting loonies. At least I took ~100 of them with me as well!)

[namad]

does anyone know who ended up with the 3machaka forts that count as vps?

So, I'd like to change my vote to be to lay this game to rest. I find myself completely apathetic and phoning in every turn...I feel like there is nothing I can do. I don't mean that as a whiny exaggeration, I mean literally I'm sitting on a pile of mages and gems and I can't do anything productive with them. Just keeping beating back the indie attacks (my luck-3 scale doesn't help much where my dominion isn't) would be pretty much a full time job for my pretender...who of course needs to be called back due to my half-assed efforts. Literally, I've got nothing I can do right now other than perhaps a suicidal plunge into another overlord while I wait for one of the normals to really realize how utterly unable I would be to respond to any kind of attack (hint: Vanheim's blood sac has pushed my dominion out of my capital...so good luck fighting around there). Those of you not playing overlords just consider for a moment how you would plan an attack on another overlord with the assumption that their normal ally is going to counterattack you there where you have no prayer of pushing your dominion. On top of this, the bar is so high for an overlord victory as to be essentially impossible, thus I find it very difficult to much get into doing these turns. I get the impression from general comments from other overlords that I'm not alone in this feeling, so my vote is we call it a successful experiment and gg all.

[namad]

why not just alter the rules in some fashion? making overlord victory easier? allowing overlords to attack indies at will... allowing overlords a 2nd type of army that can attack anywhere?

etc?
