Well, I knew the high magic resistance on the Jarls would help, and I kept them at the back for as long as possible, with chaff up front to absorb the charms.

I think the growing fury worked against you too, making all your troops berserk, and rushing them right into the waiting Jarl gauntlet at the rear. I believe that is what happened with your pretender.

Some of you may be aware that C'tis wrestling with Atlantis over the pond/lake/sea in the east of this map.

Thus far its been a more expensive wrestle than I was expecting given the paucity of troops and fortifications that Atlantis had built up there. But I thought eventually Atlantis would give up and I would mop up Atlanta's troops faster than they could be recruited. I had planned that this would have happened by now.

Imagine my suprise this turn to find that the underwater province 75 in the lake is now connected to province 92 in the larger ocean on this map. Now I have held province 75 for a while now and I would swear blind that there was no connection between those provinces when I captured it four or five turns ago

Now to my knowledge there aren't any magical sites that cause this effect upon being found (that is connecting to another province to another).

Anyway I am confused.

As far as I know, they have been connected since the beginning of the game. Jazzepi told us about those connections in the first post, I believe.

Well thanks for sorting that out so quickly.

Whoops

I must have left one of the map filters off ... or somehow just blocked it out. I am coming to the strong conclusion that I have too many games going at once (or too many toddlers running amok - my multitasking ability kind of sucks at the moment).

C'tis will continue to splah about in a noble and iguana-y manner.

I posted image links that clearly showed the two bodies of water were connected. This was an artificial thing that I added after the map was randomly generated so that we could have two water nations on the same map.

Well I think Caelum is finally done for. I've been stuck in my castle since about turn 10 or so, but I'm about to get preached out and my last attack didn't work out so well.

Man I wanna play Caelum in a different EA game now. I generally like to play random choice MP games and learn the nation I get assigned beforehand. I hate it when you learn the nation and then you get rushed and never really get to use it.

Good game Helheim.

Since we're speaking of map weirdness, thought I would mention the province directly south of the Agarthan capitol (I'm at work so I can't tell you the number). It looks like ordinary plains, but you can't move into-out of it from N, NE or NW provinces, only from SE, SW. It's rather inconvenient.

Maybe you already mentioned it Jazzepi, I don't remember. Surely you would have noticed it.

Jazzepi · #8 July 11th, 2007, 01:18 PM

That was just some awfulness of the random map generator I didn't catch when I was cleaning up the map. Not something there by my design =\

I think I must have just blanked it out - now having been reminded repeatedly it is beginning to come back .... rather slowly and dimly.

While winter in Sydney cannot really be described as severe (or even mild) it must be the conjunction of the season and my cold blooded nature conspiring the slow the mind (that or chronic sleep deprivation).

Continued befuddleness by your lizards would be welcome news to the sea dwellers of Atlantis!
