MP: NewPlayersRumble - (Late Era) STARTED!

[dojango]

Ulm and Arco dropped out because they have been crushed utterly, the only thing left is the mopping up. And Agartha never really was a serious contender.

[kasnavada]

Ulm had not been crushed utterly... When I got 1/3 of his territory he just stopped playing / attacking altogether, which resulted in the current situation.

I've got more 400 flying people on his cap and I just can't breach it. That's how much forces he's got. It's about 2/3 of my complete military, including my 3rd prophet and my God. He amassed a significant force of vampires which... he barely used... I expected attacks every turn.

That's a significant force, not mop-up...

While some of the strategic choice Kuketski made were... well it's a newbie game, I made some heavy mistakes as well. So, while I had an advantage, the game had been fun until he just left his territories to be taken from him. It's the first time I'm successful in a campaign in a MP game (apart from times when I rushed someone 2 vs 1).

So, thanks for the game Kuketski, hopefully I'll see you in another game.

[dojango]

Ah, he sounded more defeated in his messages. I don't have good intel on that area because someone keeps eating my scouts...

[kasnavada]

Well. I can see why he may think that, given the battles we had. With 4 stalls leaving me in charge of all his lands, he's not coming back to a power level near yours or Abyssia's, even if he still has a strong army. I reversed dominion on his cap, so basically he cannot get out now. That fight should have happened 6 or 7 turns ago (that's the time I needed to reverse the dominion). On another note, I kinda hope I did not scare Kuketski out of MP games, as I enjoyed the fight - just not how it's ending.

On the subject of continuing the game or not, I'm sceptic about finding 3 people to make what looks like last stands. I'd rather stop, but if a majority of you guys wish to continue, I'll go on.

[The Kurgan]

I am fine with stopping this one. I find it hard to even do my turns I am so far behind and in such bad shape...

BUT I will stick it out if we choose to keep playing.

[kasnavada]

Ok, then... if I interpret gurthang's stall correctly as well as his last message, it looks like 3 out of 4 left playing in favor of stopping.



Next time I think I'll try to be more watchful of stalling, in order to get replacements instead of getting the configuration we are now into. Thanks for the game, it certainly was on of the funniest I played, and luckiest too : I got 4 worthy indy sites, and just obtained all magic path, just discovered that the usual barbarian attacks can also be a group of ronins.

I'd like to thank the adepts of the silver order indy, which was invaluable in taking Ulm's territory by taking care of all astral item forging, summoning the Yazaka that took care of my deadly need for "cheap" and numerous melee units, and starting to summon amesha spentas. I'd also like to thank the castle arcanum which gave me fire magic, a free castle and a secure frontier with both Ulm and Abyssia.

It was a fun game, see you next time.

[dojango]

Well, shoot, I was doing so well, too. I'd like to thank my lucky 2 air enchantress for cloud trapezing wherever needed, and dropping wind guide for everyone. Also, mad props to Deukalion "the Godslayer" for sniping a God. Not many dudes can say they managed that.
A side note to the revelers... 1 in 4 chance should mean that, not 1 in 10 or whatever it ended up being...

And Arco, if you're interested in some constructive advice, remember that mages do you no good in the labs. 10-12 mages casting luck and body ethereal on your elephant hordes probably would have turned the tides on our major battles.

[Gurthang]

Thanks everybody for a fun and engaging game!

[kasnavada]

Could the game be closed ? I'm still receiving mails

[dojango]

Oh yeah, I can close the game. ALright, see you lads in other games, then.
