KingMaker - let the Ascension War commence!

[Xietor]

I think I have finally got rid of the microscopic print.

Reay, I am hopeful we can get you a sub. Maybe try contacting a few of the players that have been eliminated?

Quickhost is on. It was only off when the game was on a 24 hour timer. Once we moved to 48 hours quickhost was turned on. MA Man is not a real nation, so the fact it does not turn in a turn is not going to stop hosting.

Okay...

I'm throwing in the towel as EA Atlantis. This is because the last two turns were an nightmare. I've lost two provinces to revolts (one being my one of my castles.) My God has at minimum 50 horror marks, and just died to a horror. Due to a late train, I missed the turn and staled by the grand total of one minute (yes, I'm a bit annoyed about that) and lost an army I badly needed.

Although MA Rlyeh is still beatable, after these setbacks by the time I succeeded I'd be virtually useless anyway. It's not even going to affect neighbours in the wider picture, it's just me versus the AI slogging it out to see who gets the small, crippled, water nation, which can as easily be done by two AIs. You can get a sub in for EA Atlantis if you want, but it'd be a pretty thankless task unless someone fancies the challenge. I'll sort out the AI if no-one wants to take over.

When the Forge of the Ancients is cast a player declares himself Master of all. Vows and ties with him are sundered. And woe upon his enemies. Wars stop. Hated enemies becomes trusted allies, as all eyes cast worried looks Heavenward towards the Forge.

[Zeldor]

Anyone has some gems for sale?

[Xietor]

Trading House thread is the buy/sell/trade items/gems thread.

[Zeldor]

Yeah, but they really limited the number of threads that show on 1 page... so no chance to get kingmaker trade house on top. And besides, I am trying to get more life into that thread

[Meglobob]

Guess we know why he really, really wanted those earth gems now.

Bet La Agartha will be 1st to unique artifacts as well and with the forge will snap them all up.

Well done La Agartha.

[Xietor]

He already is at constr 8 or he would never have cast the forge. It could be dispelled next turn, so it would be foolish to put it up before you are ready to use it.

[DrPraetorious]

There are a couple of logical steps we can take against LA Agartha.

Can anyone else overwrite the forge? I've got a decent pile of earth gems, but not enough to take it myself (and of course I don't have Con 7) - I'd be happy to promote a 3rd tier player by giving *him* the forge, especially if he's willing to pay people back the earth gems used to take it.

Failing that, I don't have many pearls, but I've got some, and a concerted effort can dispel the forge. Allow the possibility that he was clever enough to cast it at minimum cost, expecting exactly this (also allowing the possibility that he through everything he had into it...)

Finally, of course, everyone should hit LA Agartha. There's a war in the water that needs to stop , and then LA Agartha presumably has land neighbors. Putting up the forge is a balzy statement that you think you can take all comers. I congratulate him on his courage.

Don't know your definition of 3rd tier player, but probably not too many of them are near Const7 at these research settings. LA Arcoscephale has Const7 since Xietor has showed off with mechanical men, MA C'tis, MA Arcoscephale and LA Caelum might hace enough research (but at least Caelum is by no means 3rd tier), and Bandar Log (i.e. I) can get to that level momentarily after the latest blitzkrieg is finished.

Not too much to choose from. Would think dispelling would be easier, but of course Forge will be up again after that...
