Mind_Elemental:

Whoa, that is a lot of Mictlani commanders in the hall of fame! How’d you get that many, Nick? Were they battlemages, thugs, or what?

Battlemages and priests. We destroyed a few huge undead hordes using only those mages and maybe 10-20 screening troops. Fun fights to watch :)

Hetzer:

You did? to whom? The only highpoint of our war was the oneturn conquering of my homeprovince and i seriously believe thats where i won the war, i was able to attack your army peacemeal, after that it was only mopping up with chaff armies.

The point I hit your capitol was about the point that two other nations joined the war on me. One-on-one I suspect I could have taken you.

As i have seen it they joined AFTER i had beaten your main armies… (at least ermor)

Is Magister down? I can’t connect to it.

I can’t either, it actually seems to freeze my game up when I try. I already PM’ed Marcin about it.

Nah, it does only so if someone else is connected…

I’ve had Dom3 kicking around on my computer for a while but have never tried MP before - any noobish games running I could join (or better games I could learn-by-losing at?)

wahoo · 2007-09-07T08:30:33.000Z

Ditto with magister crashing my game. have crashed the last 3 times.

Updates on status for my hosted games:

QT3-Jeff: Got all the pretenders now. Game will probably go up this weekend.

Hey Nick, how’s QT3-Jeff going?

Nick_Walter · 2007-09-07T12:44:46.000Z

The summary answer to that is: I suck

I went through all the game setup three days ago and tried to fire up the server and got some horrible errors because apparently some mods I’d installed on my PC (where I’d made the game) were not on my server. I got discouraged and haven’t followed up since.

gruntled · 2007-09-07T12:53:14.000Z

Well I’ll just keep sending your more pretender files until you get it right :)

edit: and, the longer it takes you, the harder it is going to be for me to resist naming my pretender Egg na N’Og.

I’m in a game over at the Shrapnel forum that’s in danger of dying because three of the major players have dropped out. Want me to give you the link, and we’ll see if the others are interested?

Also, haha, Egg na N’Og. Awesome. :>

Magister

Curse it! The turn hosted with out Marcin anywhere to be seen! I wonder if its possible to back track. I tried to connect again and got nowhere.

YOu and me both it seems, very strange…

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2007-09-09T11:54:07.000Z

Seriously, what is going on with Magister? It looks like the turn hosted and I still can’t connect without it crashing when I try to connect.

Marcin · 2007-09-09T12:15:57.000Z

Magister

Sorry folks, I can’t do much about it as I’m not at home right now. I had so much stuff going on lately (and both Banefire and Magister were ticking along) that I forgot to set up SSH so I could remote in and reboot the server in case something like this happened. I’ll be back on the 15th, but until then I’m afraid autohosting will keep happening :/

I guess treat this as a random event with lots of barbarian uprisings … terribly sorry.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2007-09-09T12:43:42.000Z

I would just like to say two things.

Flaming Arrows is the bane of my fucking existence.

Then, the Void Gate has got to be the most useless thing ever. Vaguely amusing, but it’s pretty much done nothing even remotely useful for me all game, and I’ve had summoners in there since turn 2 or 3. My last was just eaten by a big void monster after hanging in there for 30 turns or so, but only had three or four successful summonings. Is there a secret to it or something?

It’s tied to the Luck scale you chose. Several other things are as well aside from the random events (summons like cross breeding).

@ Mind Elemental - sounds good, please let me know the details.

What’s happening in Banefire? Are Pangaea and Marignon tussling now, or is Pangaea sitting on the sidelines while you scrap with Marignon?

PMed you. :D
