Dimaz, thank you for handling this so seriously!

If you want we can pause the game. Since you took ownership on the problem I leave it for you to decide, unless thejeff objects that is.

Please tell as soon as possible.

I just posted the turn to IW, can you pause the game while we're waiting for their answer? I'll try to test the problem on weekend if I have time, but so far I don't know what to do in this turn (as it definitely makes no sense to spend gems on enchantments if they're not working).

WraithLord · #3 September 24th, 2010, 02:46 PM

Added 72h. I'll add more if needed.

WraithLord · #4 September 27th, 2010, 10:29 AM

I've delayed the host again. However I don't want to do that indeterminably for fear that the game would get stuck/wither on account of this technicality.

We don't have an ETA on a resolution and besides what is the expectation, to get a patch now?- doesn't sound likely...

I suggest we put a deadline on the waiting - this weekend. After the deadline we cont. the game. Makes sense?

WraithLord · #5 September 28th, 2010, 01:46 PM

I take your silence as a yes

So next host is scheduled for 08:15 GMT on Friday October 1st

WraithLord · #6 September 30th, 2010, 05:06 PM

48h extension granted at players request, after that we're back on track.

I think I promised to return to this thread and say 'told ya' when Ermor wins, or apologize and agree that LA Ermor is not overpowered if it doesn't.
Well, here I am.

Told ya!

HoF statistics clearly support your claim.

Strangely enough Ermor didn't seem so strong in early game when it couldn't recruit mages and all it's undead armies were insta banished by Pythium.

I suspect that secret of Ermor's power is more subtle. It may have more to do with Psychology than with raw power.
Perhaps the cost-reward ratio of attacking Ermor makes it an unattractive target. Perhaps it's something else.

I don't know. I do know that MM is hvy and that I am content to settle for this one time MP experience with this unique and interesting nation.

Congratulations.

I came in late and didn't really get to do much other than try to hold off Pan's hordes, but it was still a good game.

If Pan hadn't lost its leader mysteriously, things might have been different. Certainly more prolonged. Ermor didn't seem to have a clear advantage over Pan until then.

As for the bug in the stats, I'd noticed awhile back that Ermor's army size graph had maxed out. Oddly it's the same number that the research charts top out at. It may just be a cap on the display value. Not really significant, I suppose. Once you've got more the 32K troops does it really matter how many more?

WraithLord · #10 October 26th, 2010, 03:36 PM

thanks.

I'd have lost 2k strong armies to Pan and the score graphs army size didn't even budge.

does it matter?- I guess not. Those armies were getting too big to handle. And I couldn't really use them for big fights b/c they die like flies and then the whole army routs. I had to build real elite armies with just enough chaff to absorb the initial shock. So my main weapons were the summoned mages, thug lictors, Tarts, banes, lictors and ghosts, oh and my master enslaver master lich
