I have played 2 MP games before this one, one as Ulm, and one as Atlantis, and I lost in both of them rather quickly. As Atlantis, I run out of the water with my supercombatant pretender and won a few battles, but overextended and had him killed at enemy castle, and did not recover after that. As Ulm, I lost against early Wyrm pretender rush as I had no way to stop him, and he locked me in my castle. Ad net - yes, the gfx actually showed a net across over my commander, and he ha
[quote who="ghostwes" reply="209" id="2938669"] Well don't keep the rest of us in suspense! [/quote] You did not know? ;-) I thought your omnipresent assassins reported to you.
Wonderloss speaks the truth. Intelligence info is a valuable commodity, and each of us have only vague idea about each other players' positions. I would even guess that given the number of turns, nobody knows the exact position of every other player. It would be convenient if spectators could watch it as a football match, but then the info would leak inevitably, so it's best this way. I was thinking about what makes this game so immersing and special, and I think the fact that
It is all so sad. As it often happens, if one strives for greatness and performs feats of valor, all he reaps from others is just envy, hatred and spiteful remarks.
It's nice how the dragon politely waits for the cute fireworks to finish, not biting his head off at all ;-) However, I can imagine the player to become a bit impatient after seeing this for the tenth time.
The chance of your cute chipmunk surviving the arena were close to nill anyway. If my Nephillim commander did not participate, that Abyssian giant would make you all flat with his mace.
The kingdom of Hinnom has been eying the disturbing rise of the Arcoscephale power for some time. Though they are not our immediate neighbors, we would advise those in their adjacency to attack preemptively before Arcoscephale becomes magically too powerful. As they obviously depend on their slothful philosophers for research, production of their national armored troops will be difficult for them (and that's why they depend on those over-paid mercenaries so m
[quote who="ghostwes" reply="186" id="2938367"] Because Hinnom really needed that extra advantage. Ahem.[/quote] Technical comment - it's not really that much of an advantage, since the item is a magical, but cursed two-handed trident, that is only slightly better than the Sword of Dawn I had before (which was also magical). Being twohanded, the commander had to put aside his shield, and since he is all but naked at the moment, I consider it a downgrade (the shield at least s
The exalted Council of Kohens would like to announce nationwide feast to celebrate the arena victory of the mighty Henan'el, son of Azazel, Brightest ray of the Sun, Horned Champion, Devourer of Infidels, Pacifier of the Backward Tribes, Sword of the Only True God, who despite entering the bloodied sands of the Arena without a single piece of armor, emerged victorious without suffering a single scratch. This happy event will take
The venerable Hinnom Kohinim would like the other nations (except Yomi, perhaps?) to know that they are interested in buying Earth Gems. In return, they offer fire gems, astral pearls, gold... or blood slaves enthusiastic domestic servants trained in sanguine magic arts.
[quote who="ghostwes" reply="175" id="2938225"]Yes, as you can all see, negotiations are proceeding just splendidly.[/quote] No wonder, sir, you are a born arbiter! I wonder how can UN do without you ;-)
[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="168" id="2938203"]I don't think there is a water pretender, is there?[/quote] Indeed, there is not, to my great delight. I was quite happy when Atlantis dropped at the lat minute - at least I got my back covered, relatively speaking.
No matter the countless winters that covered the beards of our Honorable Councilmen with the purest silver, life always finds ways to stun us with surprise - sometimes even so unexpectedly that other emotions, like justified anger, just do not come. What did we just hear? The defeated asks her vanquisher for reparations? For gold, gems, and whatever else? I thought our demands were reasonable, merciful even, given the circumstances, but to withdraw from the land
wonderloss - just to clear things up - we did not have a NAP, and we both attacked a neutral province. First she fought the independents, and then I fought her. What I am offering her is to refrain from further agression as long as she recognizes Wynna and Mark as my territory forever. As long as her army is in tatters and I lost just one charriot in the process, I think it's not a bad deal. I could probably beat the PD in her home castle, ending the game for her, since her preten
The Council would like to express grief and sorrow over what must have been an unfortunate incident that happened in ancestral Hinnom burial grounds at Wynna. While clearing the province from bandits, grave-robbers and rebels, the border patrol has been attacked by a sizable force of demons led by a cyclop. After a short battle, in which Hinnom forces killed most of the demonic invaders in self-defence, it has been found that the unknown force was actually a cont

To celebrate the event, grand feast will be held in the palace of Gehenna for three days and three nights, and foreign guests from near and
(Hey, wonderloss, you are the last this time!) So it's now up to our beloved game-master wonderloss, who wanted to build a nice gem cache from the donations of the lagging players, to send his well-thought battle plan to the server, so that we can have another round.
[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="126" id="2937625"] BTW, my third turn is in. [/quote] Elana, something must have gone wrong, because the server reports it's waiting for Yomi and Pangaea: http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Elementalists Could you perhaps try to resend your .2h file? Thank you.
[quote who="Thranite" reply="122" id="2937606"]Mercenaries! I knew I was forgetting something. I should've been bidding on mercenaries. [/quote] I am not sure it would be worth it, I tried to bid for the elephants as they are really good for early expansion, and I can tell you he overpaid them really heavily. That means less gold for regulars/development. Have you noticed how the stats allow you to deduce which nations have awake pretenders?
