For MistSpell, perhaps you might want to wait until the current turn hosts?

If you patch before the turn hosts, do we have to replan our turns?

4762

Hurry! I need to feed my Hydras!

4763

No, patching is totally seamless. Stop server, patch, restart server, go. It should be done, please let me know if there’s any issues.

4764

Not working for me. It gets stuck on Retrieving file loop…

Edit: Found this on Shrapnel forums:

Something about renaming a file related to Pythium…

4765

hmmm had the same problem but after patching everything worked fine…

4766

Quote from Shrapnel:

Only Pythium. The patch changed the file names from “pythium.2h” and “pythium.trn” to “late_pythium.2h” and “late_pythium.trn”. However, it did not bother to actually change the names of the existing files. It just staled Pythium and made a .trn file with the new name. So, I manually changed the .2h file before hosting so that Pythium would not stale. All has been fine since.

Marcin needs to change the Pythium file names so that I may feed my hydras…and not stale!

Mist Spell

Ah well, I guess I shouldn’t be suprised. Not good for the boys in green.

Who’s Ryleh in this game? I haven’t spoken to him/her since we signed our Non-Aggression Pact in the beginning of the game.

A momentous showdown about to take place in Ermor’s capital. I’m outnumbered by 4 to 1 or more (circa 700 evil to 200 good guys) and that damn Virtue presents a problem, but for some reason, I’m confident. Could be the pre SuperBowl cheer :)

4768

That’s me.

4769

I take it you adhere to Great Atlantic’s definition of a 3 turn Non Aggression Pact? :)

No sweat, man. You caught me by surprise with your Pearl Harbor, which is my mistake. I’ll have to fire the Admiral of the coastal defense. Good Luck :)

Weird. It made a .trn file, but not a .2h file. I renamed the .2h to late_, but what I do about the duplicate .trn file? Rename the old to the new, or leave the new?

I’ll restart the server with leaving the new alone, please let me know if that works.

4771

Oh well, I couldn’t log in so I staled and that seems to have reset everything, creating new turn files on the server that work now.

4772

So, anyone else notice something fun regarding Marignon’s army size on the score graph? Go team Midgard!

4773

Damn you and your unstoppable armies of unstoppableness!

or at least tell us what happened.

4775

Well, I tried to use FRAPS to get the thing on tape, but somehow ended up with 600+ MB for 25 second. Not sure where I could have uploaded it even if I figured out what tweaks to make to reduce the size.

Anyways, it wasn’t anything to fancy. Against maybe (I’m just guessing really) 150 crossbowmen, 50 men at arms, and a 100 flaggies (with several weak blesses, so nothing spectacular) I had maybe 50 skinshifters. Oh, and 10 plus Gygas… and thunderstrike. He didn’t have any mages, for good reasons but still. Anyways, the initial barrage forced him to retreat. And since he had used sailing to siege my capitol with out taking any land neighbors the units had nowhere to retreat to. Hence, they all died.

4776

I had 260 men vs 95 skinshifters and 15 gygas, and after 15 thunderstrikes a round for the first two rounds, everyone ran away and died. My single volley of crossbowmen killed 1 guy in retaliation.

4777

Back up the .trn files, then share them with us when the game is over! :)

4778

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. Gygjas? Midgard? As I recall Midgard has 1) volvir, which are astral-2 witches, 2) galdermen, air-2 plus 2 randoms, 3) various Vanir on horses. Gygjas are the giant witches of Jotun, sworn enemies of the Vanir. Or has there been a patch that has them switch sides?

Interesting to see two sailing nations going at it.

4779

I just noticed my national scouts have +50 to stealth.

Not bad for gibbering monkeys.

Game Off

Sorry guys, I’ve fooled around with trying to get the map I want when I have a bit of spare time and I’ve concluded that I foolishly committed to a bigger project then I had time for when I optimistically took game signups. My bad.

With Culdcept Saga just hitting and my wife 7 months pregnant I just don’t see my free time magically increasing anytime soon to allow me to get this game set up and going. So I’ll call it dead for now and when I do have the time to set it up I’ll resurrect the idea and allow people who previously had signups to have first dibs at the game.
