Past two turns it hasn't sent the file to me automatically, but it did send it no problem when I requested a resend. So others are having this issue as well?

The llamaserver finally spit my turn out this morning, so i'm good to go.

I've been having the same issue as Dojango, where I've had to manually request a resend for the past 2 turns. Been getting the turn with the request, though, so I haven't had any issues.

Well, other than Black's ettins. They're a major issue, but of a different sort.

Sorry, bit of a long, ranty post- I'm very upset with myself over my terrible play, and this game has been a constant source of frustration to me.

I've beaten Black's armies and whittled his army size graph to next to nothing. I've killed large numbers of SCs, captured several artifacts, decimated his gem production, trashed his income, taken a decent amount of his territory, and contested his ability to wage war. All the while my income and gem production have grown and my territory has remained almost untouched by the war.

And yet, I'm still completely unable to defeat him. His (many) remaining SCs and raiders are still out taking back provinces that I capture- again and again. I can't catch his raiders to kill them, and when I do, they more often kill my forces. I've lost several battles and lost force cohesion in his territory. This turn, for the first turn in awhile, he actually managed to take back more territory than he lost.

I'm entirely unsure how I managed to do so well against you overall, Bullock, considering that I clearly have no idea what I'm doing. How am I supposed to beat your Zmeys and Ettins and Grendelkin and everything else? The only successful tactic I've used is Mind Hunting all of Black's raiders, at the cost of many many many astral pearls, and that's not cutting it.

Well actually you are kinda harsh with yourself.
First you are actually winning, which isn't that bad

and then i think it's harder to finish a guy because of his remaining raiders, like me with red and his early Zmeies i couldn't defeat.

When i proposed you peace i was expecting a better situation for me now than i'm actually.
Anyway as you said you have totally screwed my incomes so it will become easier and easier for you. But as i said our war has stand too long for the survivor to face properly pink after.

Btw even losing i m having much fun in this game

yeah, part of the joy in losing is spitting in the winner's eye as you go down... trying to inflict as much damage on the victor as possible.

If you've taken his homelands, you could go for the domkill, also teleport/cloudtrapeze SC killers on his raiding SCs once you've seen their equipment and tactics (teleport/cloud trapeze goes before regular movement)

Probably going to need a 24h extension on this turn.

Bullock · #8 December 15th, 2011, 06:56 PM

sure, it's done.

Bullock · #9 December 17th, 2011, 10:39 AM

Was wondering if some people would be interested in a break between the 24th Dec and the 2nd of January ? if so i'm planning to set a 8days length turn during this period but quickhost still on (so the game isn't stuck if everyone can finally play)

Unless we declare pink winner before that =p

I don't think I'll need a pause for the holidays, but if you and Groundworm want one I don't mind.

Also, Groundworm, exactly how many astral pearls did you put into that stellar focus? The minimum 30 definitely wouldn't have dispelled my Well of Misery.
