I guess Ich's game servers are still down?

yup yup

Boy I sure do miss this game a lot and hope we get it running again soon!

The server is back up. Since it's about one month and a half after it went down, I'll ask very cautiously if people want to continue playing this game or if you have already moved on?

In case there aren't too many people who have abandoned this game by now, I'll restart it over the weekend.

I'm in two other games at the moment because I had to get my Dominions fix... leading in the one with graphs, and the other is only turn 3. So I really am not that sure if I could even devote the time to the game that would be necessary now.

Offhand, I'd say probably everyone has moved on in a big way by now, unfortunately, but I'll always remember this game as being my first, and an extremely exciting and intricate one at that!

Geez at one point I think I was fighting 5 people and still winning.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say Reno won. Plus, I, too, am in two games (one of which is 60+ nation warfest). I doubt I can carry on three games at once. So yeah, I vote this game just be laid to rest.

Agree that Renojustin should be considered a winner here. And I'm also in two other games by now!

Renojustin · #**538** July 11th, 2008, 05:12 AM

I didn't really consider myself the winner at that point, speaking for myself, but the next turn would have seen the fall of a couple of Caelum Eagle Kings... oh well. I guess if anyone actually deserved it, lol.

Man, that was a GREAT game.

Heh, this was a fun game. It's unfortunate the server issue came up just when things started to really roll. Like other players, I have long since moved onto other games and can't really even remember what my exact plans were for this game.

Regarding the winner, I don't think this game was over yet. Sauro was the leader, no doubt about that, but the amazon people were still far away from the target capitol count iirc and at least Caelum would have required fair amount of punishment before yielding and I think Tien Chi would also had plenty of word to say regarding the outcome.

Renojustin: I'm curious, what makes you so sure you would have managed to kill some of my precious bird royalty next turn?

I had 3 seeking arrows on the one in Kailasa, killing him and retaking the province, and many scattered witch king thugs about to drain life on probably at least two more, which they would have fallen to. Your cyclops was horror marked 5-6 times, and T'ien C'hi had agreed to race us to the victory points from first meeting, which is why they were #2 in the game and not our first victim. They were about to hit you too.

But that was just Caelum. We were doing very well against Abysia and R'lyeh too, Abysia especially would have been pretty much squeezed out within the next few turns, and I don't think Lanka stood against us well either; we had thugs down there and he had nothing but normal demon troops with a weak vampire queen bless. We were also casting Fog Warriors with independent mages among other things.

We fought 6 nations and did well against all of them, completely wiping two out, and we were quite close against two more. Our income was over 5000 gp per turn for most of the game, and we had the 2nd strongest nation as an ally, one that was about to help us destroy our strongest competitor, Caelum. Our blood was starting to ramp up at an extremely fast rate, and overall, it was probably just a matter of time... probably.

I really wish that game had gone on, because in another turn, three of your Eagle Kings were going to die, taking the wind out of your sails, so to speak. I didn't expect to get the win because the game crashed, but looking back at it with some experience, if we picked the game up now there would be pretty much no way that I could lose that game, knowing what I know now.

Ascendant was sooo fun, and I want to just thank everyone for such an awesome and special experience for what was for most of us our first time playing!
