Soooooo... any word on whether we're going to do this turn by the new deadline? I would also like to see things go a bit faster... hopefully we aren't going to have any more events that screw the game up after this.

Probably not, I hate to say. I'm waiting on an email address so I can switch Neifelheim back to majuva and I assume he'll need some time after that.

Hopefully we can get back on track after that. It's a problem with big games. The more people, the more need for delays, the more chance of stales and problems. The solution is simple: more nations need to be killed off.

Well, I just got my turn in for Oceana, so there shouldn't be any further delays due to me.

send me the turn

thejeff · #5 August 30th, 2009, 07:03 PM

Done.

Hopefully we can avoid delays for a bit now.

I'm getting the "turn file is corrupted" message, followed by insta-crash. Can I get the turn resent?

First, let me apologize for screwing up my sub 2 weeks ago and delaying the game. I've never used a sub before and I can't believe I didn't give Baalz my password. So my apologies for delaying the game.

Second, I'm outraged that foul Oceania would declare war on the world by flooding the coastal provinces. I hope folks will work together to banish such a loathsome nation that is reducing income for everyone. Who knows what other foul spells they'll cast?

Finally, is Vanheim doing as well as the hall of fame makes it look? They wiped out Sauro right? How many capitals do they have?

Thanks to Sil for putting up a good fight as Sauromantia. The reason that I have so many entries in the hall of fame is that thugs were the best way I had to combat hordes of androphrag archers hiding behind large quantities of PD. Vanheim national troops are both expensive and incredibly vulnerable to poison (and I didn't have arrow fend/storm yet). Thugs seemed to work pretty well, in that the slightest hitch in unit orders didn't lead to them getting poisoned to death or routing in a few turns, but I had to get to critical mass to make the final push to his cap. Once I was comfortably safe from poison, Sauromantia switched to skelspam, so I racked up kills banishing away hordes of skeletons, not to mention damage control from some really ill-timed barbarian uprisings.

I have not taken any non-Sauromantia province (and they weren't too big) and there are definitely other nations that you should be more worried about at this stage of the game.

Also, Kailasa is AI? Did that happen recently? Are they almost dead?

Thx...couldn't remember if you also dismantled Agartha. It's a bit disconcerting to see the entire HOF either gods or Vanheim and wanted to some info from that part of the world!

Hmm..I guess Kailissa just went AI. They are down to 1 province that's been undersiege for many turns so they're trapped. Their capitol has been long since plundered by Abyssia.

So I think 4 capitols(kail, Sauro, ermor, Agartha) are gone and no nation has more than 2.

Niefelheim got Agartha pretty early on. I'm not sure who took Ermor, but I think they've had that cap for awhile too. And yeah, when I noticed the HoF a few turns ago I thought "holy crap." Although honestly, I could do without "Unequaled Obesity" on some of my thugs.
