MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)

[Aku]

Alexi I assume you are trying these strats in our current game so nobody attacks you lol?

Anyway about Drool I sent him a pm. I guess when Lukes brother does his turn we could force host it but if no response by tomorrow I say we then turn him into the AI.

Told you there were Indep vampires.

I bet you have bad luck scales though?

I think we ought not to force host until tomorrow when he should have repsonded or not then turn him AI - 5 turns is long enough to tell us what is going on

I have a question if you bid on mercenaries but do not get them do you get the gold back?

[Norfleet]

Yes

Nothing works against everything, so I guess this is just one of many other strategies that give you a slight advantage. But like in professional gambling, that's all you need.

your strat is good nothing works against everything .
but you have yourself powerful bless units in the vans
and you still have a2 and even a few lucky a3 mages in the galdermans with mitgard .

so against ryleh you can perhaps switch to orb lightnings and the like

but i still like standard vanheim more because of the dwarfen smiths

I would force the Host after Luke's brother takes his turn, and then turn him onto AI if he does not respond. (His behavior is partularly surprising given that he is playing his turns in a different MP game.)

But, hey, even with the delays, I am really enjoying the MP experience.
