Geez jeffr your defence of your Last(?) fort is bleeding me white. Those are some nasty spell combos you are flinging about...

hey soapyfrog - glad to help out

But really, it's the ai that takes over the casting after the first 5 spells. Is the ai influenced by the spells that you script?

The ai cast a few destructions (lowering the armor values) and then a few blade winds, which was nice. The ai also casts swarm, which considering there is a storm going on, is a waste of gems, in my opinion. Bugs don't fly in the storm.

I wish i had figured out how to take out your damn banelords a bit earlier in the game (like 40 turns ago).

Even on the losing end, this has been fun.

Yeah the dust to dust, wither bones, and of course petrify all seem to be highly effective.

The blade winds are deadly... well its only a matter of time at this point, I suppose, but boy has it been expensive.

Default Awesome Wolf Death Caster!

Now whoever said wolves weren't awesome! Whoever did surely hasn't seen those D4 wolf mages that make the Last of the Tuatha theme so very deadly!




Well, seriously, I had 2 of these D4 wolves show up after a big battle with Pythium. This is a known bug in that they're reincarnated Pythian demi liches that died in the battle. If anyone cares, I can suicide them against someone elses PD, or I can just set them where they are w/ script to attack closest, in case someone attacks.

hey, its not an exploit. everyone has the same chance to luck out like that. just think of them as gifts from heaven. obviously the game itself considers your pretender to be the one true god

Has anybody else had problems connecting to the game lately? My Dom2 freezes completely whenever I try to access this one, but I've no trouble with the Faerun Pirates game. It's annoying as hell, because I'll get several stale turns in a row if this keeps up.

The server needs a restart (again). Seems to happen to games on Mosehansen every so often. I find if I try to connect twice in quick succession I can 90% of the time get it on the 2nd try.

So Thufir needs to restart the server, and the problem should go away (for awhile).

I will restart game now. This will change deadline as well, giving you more time to submit, Edi.

Okay, my turn is done. The 36 hour limit is just fine with me, I just get in trouble if the server starts acting up, because I can't try multiple connection attempts, my computer just freezes until I kill Dom2 from the Task Manager.
