Looks like someone nuked the server with the patched game already, so I guess we’re patching![/b]
Banefire
Well, the game runs off of the same executable, so ditto :P Although … it seems to be still running scratches head
I can patch it after everyone ends their turn, sure.
Nagot gick fel!
I am shutting down all my servers now to upgrade. I know it is mid-turn but I think it is best, esp. with bommerlunder on hold for such a long time.
This affects:
Peltast
Apprentices
Bommerlunder
DawnofDominions
Bandar and Lanka games are patched. Emails were sent out (twice in the case of Bandar)
Everyone remember to patch before playing next turn :)
Ritual of Return is certainly nice, but even better just give your hero a decent set of bodyguards made out of the same sacred creatures that you get as freespawns or those you pull out of the gate. The advantage in numbers will always be on your site, and you can also bless your creatures, if you have half-decent bless, which, together with spells from your summoners, all but ensures your victory with minimal (if any) losses.
After X turns (or more accurately - once your summoner reaches a certain Summoning skill level) it does indeed make sense to change your summoner, but not because he is in increased danger of being killed. You should do it because he won’t be able to get you (another) Vastness, which is an ultimate prize of Void Gate.

Sorry, Marcin, I think that was me!

Lanka:
The Mavernia-Pan war continues with Maverni going on the offensive for the first time. The Maverni forces have finally been able to unite and have Fort Lucky under siege.
We have long been on defense due to the oppression of Pan and his fairies. Now the tribes are taking the fight to him! Pan struck the first blow in this conflict, but we shall have the last! And then, bonding time with babies!
Come and get it!
Actually yeah I think I am probably screwed ;)
When you look at this paragraph a certain way, it’s disturbing.
I emailed Lum regarding a delay for Hoplite, but no word back, so perhaps he’s away himself or busy. I will try to MacGuyver up a computer out of an old colecovision and a broken Dark Tower game while I’m in the wilds of New Jersey, but if anyone talks to Lum in the interim, I’d appreciate if you could ask for a pause until this Wednesday.
Upon hearing the Declaration of War from T’ien Ch’i’s messenger, the Agarthan Council resolved to:
How ironic to receive a new message from catbird, describing our recent annexation of certain rural TC territories as “rude”.
I don’t think you’ll have any more luck than I did when I emailed him a while back to ask about changing the timer to 72 or 96 hours. :/
Dear Agartha,
We regret that our Pangaean translator chose the word “rude” to describe your attacks, when our original intent was to describe your recent aggression as “invigorating”.

Hoplite appears to be down.

Hoplite is back up, patched to 3.08, and the timer has been bumped to 96 hours, which should delay the next turn being rolled until Wednesday. Afterwards let me know if it needs to be moved back.
I might be needing a new game pretty soon, what with ron running away with Bandar. Also, this thread needed a big bump.
I’m up for another game, but hosting is iffy for me.
I’d be up for another one if it was kinda smallish, maybe 6 players max.
I’m always up for another game.

From Sven Vanson, King of the North,
to the ermorian dog hiding behind his walls,
you can not run and you can not hide, come out, fight like a man and be done with it.
We have heard many times that those ermorians are master of the dead. Perhaps they are dead but they are surly no masters, the only tactic that they understand is a knife to the back but even that is beyond the capabilities of them.
