MP: Nooblies - EA [9/8] players [Runing]

[Thranite]

Saturdays are game days when I can break free. Non-computer game days, that is (miniatues, roleplaying, boardgame etc. )

Wierd fight. I knew I was taking a chance going for the turn 1 push, but I'd tested a half-dozen games or so and it went fine each time...until now.

Ancient Kraken and the starting forces, ended up against tritons and 2 triton knights, nothing special. I must not have scripted the kraken right, because he went from the flank to behind the line of peons, and waited for them to die. Then after one round tried to run away! The tritons that had chased off the deep ones were ahead of the kraken, so he ended up surrounded and lost 110 hit points in one turn. Very bizarre, but when you roll the dice sometimes they turn up snakeyes...

Owch.

I checked the charts, and I am in the leads for provinces and army size. We'll see how long that lasts.

EDIT: Also, I am recording my turns using FRAPS. I intend to cut my turns together and post it on youtube once I get knocked out of the game. If anyone else has FRAPS or is interested in screencaping with commentary that would be awesome, get the full epic of TheNooblies recorded for future generations.

I might try this. So far, I've been archiving my .trn's for future personal reference, so I could easily reconstruct these first few.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll take a few screenies and maybe write up an AAR after this is over or I'm killed off.

Alright, everyone's moved but Mictlan. Anyone got something nice to report for turn 2 or 3?

I am now officially nicknaming my core unit of Lancers, "the Breakers" because they have broken in every battle they have fought. I am used to heavy cav tromping my units, so I assumed they would stomp for me too, but when I checked the Lancer stats I realized that they were not going to live up to the expectations I had for them. So now I am changing my army build strategy and experimenting. Is now a good time to mention that I have never played Sauromatia before?

Also, someone manage to outbid me for the Elephant Corp. So much for mercenary control...

Still haven't lost a battle yet; but I did have to turn on "neighbors" in the map filter to figure out how the map was configured. Less obvious then on random maps.

MagicDinosaur765!!! Waiting on Mictlan AGAIN! It is almost like he sleeps at night and doesn't camp his computer waiting for the next turn!

But yeah, a turn a day isn't bad.

[Ghill]

Wooo! I now have met two other nations! Pretty uneventful turn, the non-secret thing of interest was one of my archers shooting an independent archer for 67 damage. Gotta love open ended rolls.

Still trying to sell blood slaves. I will keep mentioning it, just because.

EDIT: And I am talking the most in the thread...I'll calm down so others can post too...

[AfroSquirrel]

This is odd. I've not yet received my .trn file, but I just got the 12-hour warning.

EDIT: Oh hey, a turn-resend button. Still wondering where the first one went off to, though.

[MagicDinosaur765]

Ghill, please relax.

I'm sending my turns as soon as I can. ^^U
