Wow, Kristoffer's bewilderingly schizophrenic!

I have postponed hosting by 12 hours because Arco and Ermor hadn't submitted turns. Since we've been on 48 hour hosting for a week I didn't want anyone to stale as we returned to 24 hours.

Try being his neighbor! I've never had anyone ask to be attacked before...

> GrayZ has heard the pleas of the priest kings of Mictlan, and his Sidhe have responded. The false god Totl will be driven from the lands of Mictlan. His temples will be torn down and replaced with temples to the one true god, GrayZ.

The people of Mictlan rejoices and is preparing a red carpet. We only hope that deliverance is quick, because the red carpet is drenched in blood of our poor populace, not to arouse the suspicion of the dark and terrible entity arisen in our midst.

The armies of Mictlan are being sent on a scared pilgrimage to the great temple of GrayZ as we speak. Unless the monstrosity has been destroyed by that time, we suspect that this will not be a pilgrimage, but a genocide.

In GrayZ we trust! All hail GrayZ, bringer of deliverance, He Who is at the Center.

Hi!

Inspired by my current game I'm implementing changes for MA Mictlan, including a couple of new units. These will appear in the next patch (due mid august I hope).

I intend to avoid using these (summoning and recruiting) in the Armadillo game, but the basic mictlan priest will be affected by one of the changes. They will have a chance to have air magic. This bugs me a bit, since I cannot refrain from buying these. Thus I will have access to more air magic than I'm supposed to. I intend to avoid using them to forge items etc, but they will have access to lvl 1 air magic in battles.

I hope this is OK with you.

Awesome K, I hope we will see in playing more games and being more inspired!

Well, as far as I'm concerned, after a patch anyone can use anything new that's added to a nation. The fact that you happen to be the develloper doesn't really change that. After all you deliberately chose them because they needed that 'little something' extran and I'd hardly suspect you of suddenly making them horribly overpowered just so you could win the game.

I have no problem at all with this and hope you have time to try out other nations which could do with a little 'something' extra in the future.

It would be good if the developers just played the first 30 turns or so of some nations and then if you lack time for the later game, hand over to a sub. It will give you inspiration and get those creative juices flowing.

- Aha, the Lawgiver hear the trembling of a frightened Caelum. Soon you will be devoured as well!

- Please ignore the voice of the horror that calls you from the broken tomb. The priests of Mictlan has no ill will towards your proud nation. The horror from the crypt is in no position to devour your nation.

Hmm, is it common to ask for subs? I see your point about me playing several nations 30 turns, but there is also a point of me continuing. I have never played a game which lasted more than 60 turns IIRC. It was long time since I played MP and I hae always played with victory conditions. Either VP's or cumulative VP's (my personal favourite). So it is quite educational playing with more powerful spells than I'm used to. I have never faced a tartarian, only seen arcane nexus and utterdark in dom-ppp, where research was quicker. I also tended to play with slow research in dom2, to avoid the great impact of magic.

I intend to focus on MA Ulm next. Quantum Mechanic invited me for blizing this weekend. I will most likely be there (although it might depend on if JK returns from India). Feel free to join for some gaming and IRCing (which I'm not very used to

).
