...Im having fun so far

[spacht]

Oops

After reading cleveland's post I checked my own PMs and found several greetings sent by some of you a few turns ago. Up to now I was using only the ingame messages and was already beginning to wonder why some people didn't respond. Seems I am really a noob.

[Firewalker]

Ah, we have a war already!

So far, I've only spotted one other player and someone else's dominion. Now, you guys brain each other bloody while I quietly expand.

[DonCorazon]

Grom grow tired of so many words. Grom's head hurt. Words like wind in branches. Make sound but mean nothing.

Now Grom speak for nation of Ulm, honorable nation, for all to hear.

Grom ask nation of Man not to cross west of the river for those lands are ancient burial grounds of mighty Ulmish warriors.

Grom invite other nations to speak out in open like warriors, not whisper in back room like eunuch!

P.S. Please don't kill Grom!

[cleveland]

With all due respect, mighty Grom, what's in it for me?


P.S. "Grom not hit you in head with rock," though compelling, isn't likely to convince the well-helmeted knights of Man.

You'll likely have much more luck with, "Grom give you X dwarven hammers within Y turns. Twofold benefit for Grom: (1) allow Grom to expand, and (2) allow Grom to prove Grom's word honorable, as Man will of course report completion of transaction on internet chat board for whole world to read."

[DonCorazon]

From DonCorazon, royal adviser to Grom:

To our dear heathen neighbors of Man,
Understood. Our offer was not particularly enticing. Take it more as a thought to consider, along with the fact that the good people of Ulm do not fight with stones but rather Black Steel, very good for poking holes in the heads of their well-helmeted foes.

P.S. We look forward to meeting you on the West side of the river.

P.S.S. For a newbie you sure seem to know a lot. What are Dwarven Hammers?

[cleveland]

A dwarven hammer is a Construction level 2 item that decreases the magic gem cost for item forging by 25%. It costs 15 earth gems and can be crafted by an earth3 level mage.

Of course, if you forge a dwarven hammer, and use it forge more dwarven hammers, they each cost 12 earth gems...

You are researching Construction, right?

[DonCorazon]

Thanks Cleveland. Yeah, I am on Const for a while but I must admit I screwed around my research in the beginning since this is first game for me. All those spells just looked so delicious I kept switching schools. Stupid, I know.

Next time Grom think first, then take action!

[parcelt]

If I may make one suggestion (was told this myself in my previous (first) MP game): it is generally considered good manners for the last player to send in his turn to wait 2 minutes for the llamaserver to send the new turn back, and then take that turn immediately too.

Not to put pressure on anybody, in principle there is the 24hr limit, so if you're in a hurry than that's fine. However, if at all possible it is considered the polite thing to do, especially in the early to mid stage of a game where turns don't take that long yet.

Wanted!

1 Pendant of Luck

The nation of Man will pay 15 gems (any combination of air & nature) to the first nation to deliver a Pendant of Luck.

PM me if interested.
