Hey, I noticed something of a bug going on: I can't upload a turn anymore! When I connect to the server everything is fine and dandy as long as there is no .2h file in the game directory, but as soon as there is one the program freezes after inputting the password (when it should upload the turn). This is unique in my experience, any clue as to the cause? Perhaps a restart is in order?

I believe my turns are being viewed by another player in this game. I am going AI in this game and another game I am playing in with him.

I urge people to password protect their nations.

Thanks for wasting my time.

So what's the scoop? Surely you owe us a more detailed explanation for ruining the game - since ruined it is when a top2 nation quits.

Going on AI? come on you had to kick my butt!

Hmmm looks like we are losing Arco and Ermor... thats not good. I think it will all be over soon. perhaps we should just declare Jurri winner and be done with it?

Arco too?! What's wrong with these people, all of a sudden quitting without explanation?

With Arco and Ermor gone there is little point in continuing

True, that.

Hey, Soapy, does your server happen to save the turn files? 'Cause I'd like to take a peek on how the other players spent their time, and on what the F was it that destroyed this game. Also, I think my turns should prove educational as to how they relate to the mod in use: As it is I won via the use of Soul Contracts, Earth Blood Stones and lifedrain weapons; all things supposedly overpowered and thus nerfed. The only thing it lead to, in this game, was that I was the only player having said advantages. I have some notes that could be turned into an AAR, for further analysis of the mod and the scenario, but I sure don't feel like it with the way the game ended. So, thanks to Soapy for hosting, and to those players that stuck until the end for playing - I think the scenario is great, although it sure has the victory condition for a reason!

My most recent turn, at least, can be seen with the password 'kasa', in case anyone's interested to see just how many unique devils I had

I ahve the save game files from (almost) every turn, I will certainly post them for you.

I think this scenario is not at all balanced due to the presence of the Blood Rock site near the Mictlan capitol. With other stuff nerfed, like Jurri said, it gives a huge advantage to the blood nations. That is totally magnified by the massive 30% blood bonus site.

I got a 20% construction bonus playing as Machaka. Big deal, for so did Abysia. He also got his very own Devil's Den AND a 20% Enchantment site added in. Machaka has nothing even remotely comparable to either of those.

So, who won the last two Fool's lament?
FL#2 - Mictlan
FL#3 - Abysia (who took the Blood Rock site from Mictlan).

Both blood nations. No surprise to me.
