Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)

[Jorus]

Too bad about the miscommunications/assumptions. We're all newbies here, so we learned something new about playing Dom3 MP.
13lackguard, what do you want to do? Kupiko's position has suffered badly over the last 4 turns. He has 5 provinces now, I believe, down from 19.
If you want to play, then we can pause for a day, or whatever. Otherwise we should put TC under AI command immediately.

do you guys communicate well with Maerlande since his ban from these boards? if you guys think those 5 provinces still have enough troops and mages to put up a decent fight than I can sub in, if not than just set it to AI, been waiting for them emails, thought you guys paused the game or something, but it seems that you continued. so really, up to you guys...

[Jorus]

I personally would welcome a sub, but don't think that it is a viable option anymore. That ship has left port.
Let's put Kupiko on AI.

Hmm. Setting to AI can't be done from the control page, it needs player action. New plan: Blackguard, PM me your email and I'll set Tien Chi over to you, at which point you can play if you want, or if you don't, use the "Options" -> "Become computer controlled" order and just send that turn in.

[Jorus]

It looks like 13lackguard has taken over, or has the AI attacked me??

[ErikM]

The "Pretenders of the World" screen says AI, and the llamaserver page says it's only waiting for turns from three people.

*sends in turn, starts crossing fingers as common war with TC winds down and game shows signs of becoming good old-fashioned FFA, and forges a Clam of Pearl with water gems from Tien Chi sites*

Bring the Free for All on!
*ponders how that declaration sounds suspiciously like some famous last words...*

[13lackGu4rd]

I've taken over, trained some things and put all those mages to research instead of patrol, no idea what was up with that. than I set it to AI as the situation is indeed pretty hopeless... so I guess the AI attacked you

Helheim: Sorry about that commander who walked into your siege by himself, he was apparently selected instead of a scout since I have a scout sitting around who failed to move. All these human units look the same to my lizards.

(Ctis has no native scouts. This is a bit annoying.)

I had just abandoned the province and you walked into TC.
