Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

llamabeast · #1 September 17th, 2007, 06:44 AM

Okay, I've added details of the timings (24 hour quickhost) to the first post, and noted down everyone's nations.

34259987 - sure you don't want to play?

We now have space for one more.

Mmm i'll try it too if it is still possible.
For the nation i'll get back to you in the next 12 hours

A few questions though :

-Will any mods be used ? (reduced old age, worthy heroes, epic heroes , ecc ? )
-Version of the game? latest i guess

llamabeast · #3 September 17th, 2007, 07:43 AM

Okay cool, we're full.

Mods, nope, none. Some like worthy heroes are nice, but don't make a huge difference and I thought I would make it as simple as possible for a newbie game.

Right, you can now start uploading your pretenders. Here's how:

- Make sure you don't have any pretender-affecting mods (e.g. Conceptual Balance) enabled
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name in the subject line of your e-mail

You can see the status of the game (who's joined so far) at www.llamaserver.net .

If you're not playing and are sorry you missed out on this, please still post - if I get much interest I'll start an overflow game.

THE ERMOR GAZETTE

No bystanders, no independants.. all lands must choose sides.
Near the Empire of Ermor there are only 2 independant provinces left. They will almost certainly be taken by our glorious Empire. In the mountains of Madness there has risen a 3th independant province a province of Pangaea located there was conquered by a DARK KNIGHT. Our glorious Emperor has decided that ending that reign of tyranny will be for another day since those mountains are not important.

The nations on our continent
The landmass our glorious Empire is located on seems to have a very high number of nations located on it. I have seen Cealum, Marignon, Arco, Pangaea and our own glorious Kingdom on this landmass.. Since there is one waternation there must only be 2 on the other large(r) landmass.. seems not do nicely divided.

Pangaean Border.. WAR??
Ermor is still at peace with all it's neighbours even though we have accidentaly clashed with Pangaea the last 2 months (which was clearly not the fault of our noble generals or our glorious Emperor)
1. The first conflict could have been easily avoided if Pangaea had heeded our message (which told them we would take the independant province. Sadly they conquered it and then our glorious armies mistook the centaurs for savage illiterate independants. Our armies crushed their enemies whole army with minimal losses.
2. The second event was even more horrible for Pangaea and our heart goes out to them. While conquering a independatn province near our Capitol there where suddenly Pangaean troops in the field which attacked us.. since these lands where clearly in our territory as marked by the mountains surrounding the core of our empire our victorious armies thought it was an uprising and acted accordingly... all 40 Pangaean troops lay dead in the field and so did 3 of ours before the mistake had been noticed.. even more gruesome was the fact that the REAL uprising of the Dark knight (mentioned above) happened in the province where the Pangean army was originally located so all fleeing troops where lost and Pangea LOST a province instead of gained one.

Our heart goes out to all losses of Pangaea the last 2 months, both in provinces as in troops and the fact that Ermor troops, though innocent in all except the fact of actually killing them, where involved. Our Emperor was overheard to have said that he regretted the course of events and mourned for the losses of the green banner and that eventhough 2 battles in 2 months seems like war he wants to stress that relations with the Pangaean leaders are good and that peace is still what both nations desire.

Waterfight?
In the waters on our southeastren border observers have seen a lot of turmoil. Apperanly the fishes there have been slaughtered and conquered by a waterdwelling race from the south. Our glorious leader, skilled in everything and also in languages of all nations, has contacted the fishmen and negotiated peace. The Fishmen will not leave the waters on our borders and a mutual peace has been agreed upon.

The Leaders of the Pan Council and their newly awakened leader have been striken by the horror of the last few months. First there were two clashes with our glorious neighbors, Ermor, caused by poor communication on both sides, a mistake that we must not make again. At the same time we were invaded by those supposed "Heroes," as villianous and cruel a group as can be found. Innocent pan levies and priestesses of the Holy Leaves have been slaughtered by these evil creature, along with the innocent bystander that was our hired illusionist. Their deaths will be mourned along with those brave soldiers who died in the "Ermorian Incident."

hmmm and now my potential ally is taking my land too.. hmmm this is distressing..

Anyway let's look again at the word liar

li�ar /ˈlaɪər/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[lahy-er] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
�noun a person who tells lies.

So a person who tells lies is a liar.. not much news to me so... lets look at the next message.

From: BigandScary

I am not intending to invade you or take your lands. The army on your border is made of the maenads that gather around my pans. He was just searching for sites, and they flocked to him. I will do what I can against Caelum.

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since I have kept my part of the bargain so far I'd appreciate if you would not invade those places we agreed upon to be my property (considering the army located near my border.) Attacking Caelum would be appreciated though.. taking the province with my temple not so much

I hope we can continue or relation with the same intentions it started

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So he is NOT intending to take my province with temple on his border.
How ODD it is that he infact just DID take that province..
So the only conclusion can be that the player bigandscary IS infact a liar.. since his message was not in character I can only assume it was him speaking and not the leader of Pangaea.
It is obvious the map if FULL of liars.. why is the truth so hard to face I wonder.

BigandScary · #10 October 3rd, 2007, 05:45 PM

First of all, I never agreed to not take that province and I merely stated my intent to not do so. Also, my consolidation of that area has sealed off the Entire eastern front of Ermorian territory, giving him a chance in hell to win. If I had split my armies in an attempt to do little more than piss off a powerful alliance we would have been up a river without a paddle, but instead I have given us both a chance at survival. At this point it seems that I am the only one who has stuck by Aezeal, throughout his rant against half the world, and I would suggest that he take the opportunity I have offered him and consolidate and hold his core. Or will he continue to call me a liar and expand into all out war against every nation that borders him? I guess we will see...
