Default LA R\'lyeh

Holy balls, batman. Did you see that coming?

LA R'lyeh has thrown a fastball at us. What did we ever do to you R'lyeh? I hope you wasted a lot of gems trying to knock down those domes. And you did knock down a few, but never fear, we can put them back up.

Fear the day when you attacked mighty LA Pan. We shall destroy you. Or at least, kill a few of your militia.

Default Re: LA R\'lyeh

I'm missing one summon that I know of, one of my ghost riders artillery spell arrived without the leader and so died, one ghost rider spell arrived with only 4 units and no leader, one earth attack was cast but couldn't view the battle, so I guess he didn't make it either.

Also, an enemy earth attack against a unit of mine couldn't be viewed, so I'm guessing it didn't arrive either.

Also, last turn, I had multiple astral window spells cast that I got a messages for, but didn't have any effect.

you all are hitting the unit limit of the game, due to the extreme map size and vast late-game armies. you need to be killing each other's units more

Yeah, it would seem we hit the unit limit. I wanted to see what happens with improved crossbreeding and cast it, yet not a single crossbreeding unit appeared. Probably didn't get other stuff either, but can't be 100% sure.

Anyway, time to start killing stuff.

Im missing 2 tartarians :/

And i had another strange effect this turn, i was not able to watch the battles for some earth attacks (both on me and from me) so there might be some strange other stuff going on too.

But my war with EA Pan should yield some death maenads so there should be some space for new summons. And if LA Rlyeh and LA Ermor could start an all out war, the unit limit problems will be solved.

Yep,

I cast Earth Attacks and could not watch the fight(: Not sure if Lolomo lost mages to them or they just did not appear.

Several ghost rider castings failed to appear.

That starspawn teleported into your province velusion with 15 s gems scripted to cast magic duel. but when he arrived he had no s gems, and cast horror mark instead. Consider yourself lucky.

Is there any way this issue can be fixed? Can dr p or someone go in and manually hack out about 20,000 units from la ermor and la ryleh? or maybe just remove all free summons and shut that off?

I'd guess the only things that would help against this problem were either next patch increasing the unit count, or that people would seriously start beating each other up.

Hm, was wishing for Armageddon supposed to kill 10% of armies, too? *eg*

As said before, i will soon kill about 5000 or more units from EA Pangaea, and i might loose a few hunderd on my side too, but when Rlyeh and Ermor not engage each other, there will be much trouble.

I think if that glitches go on, it is almost impossible to play, as the chance that you loose a major battle cause your spells did not work is just too big.

Why is there an unit limit anyway or why is it smaller than 2 ^ 32?

The game is not playable as is.

Last turn was a total fubar for me. i have a dead starspawn instead of velusion having 3 dead tar gates. I wasted 50 bloodslaves casting internal tempest with a b7 guy in a castle that is going to be stormed this turn. No units appeared. my Earth elemental attacks and ghost riders did not work.

If the game cannot be fixed somehow I vote that it is over.

Winners: Agartha, LA Ryleh, LA Ermor
Contenders: MA Ctis, MA Ermor, EA and MA Pangaea
Honorable mention: The survivors with over 25 provinces

you need to destroy whomever has vast chaff armies. A game like this is playable, in the sense that everyone is equally affected; and it is easy enough to rectify, if y'all don't just turtle-up carebearing ;p

just attack whomever has the most chaff. attack now
