I thought it well known that capturing a dark knight from Bogus' Group and scripting his attack commander command to other units is not allowable. But some players who, by reputation at least, are considered good think it is acceptable. I want to make it crystal clear that this "tactic" is a clear exploit and it is cheating. If anyone uses this "tactic" in this game, they will be replaced or their race set to AI.

Additionally, as this game is hosted on the Llamaserver, Llamabeast has also stated that this "tactic" is cheating and illegal on any game hosted on his server. So its use is doubly damned in this game.

If this action occurs and is denied by the suspected player, I will have llamabeast take a look at the player's turn and determine if it was or was not done.

I just had my encounter with the R'lyeh Epic hero. That was a nasty customer.
I was lucky that he was used against my crack squad of angels, so he had to run
into someone who can handle him. Actually, he faced my epic hero, and lost in
a very close fight. I cannot imagine many other commanders who could have won.

I just had another major victory against R'lyeh, so I think it is a good time to
bow out. I will be replaced by Nick, and he will abide by all treaties that I
have. We will be contacting everyone I've interacted with, to go through terms.
We will switch in a turn or two, to insure smooth transition.

Thanks for the game guys, it was a major learning experience! And this is a
great mod... I thought about it, and I will even say that it is mostly balanced.
It skews the gameplay in a direction I am not sure I like, but it's fun. I am
just not one for big games. I wish I would remember this, and stop entering them.

Thx for helping test the mod! And I am glad you like it.

Had I not played Shinuyama, and had i not been attacked by Vanheim then Makacha, I would have tried to shorten your game experience. /evil grin.

It is best to kill Pythium early, because it is near impossible to kill them late. Once the angels start flying all over, and the clam economy gets pumping, Pythium is uniquely hard to beat. Which is why they are my number 1 choice for top mp race in the MA.

But you also played them exceptionally well. And I think you would be a tough out with most races-though no one is a tough out with Ulm.

Good luck in your future games.

At Tuidjy's request I've just changed Pythium's e-mail address to Nikolai's.

3.10 patch is released. Upgrade to 3.10.

LLamabeast likely will upgrade the server to 3.10 soon.

Hello guys! I am taking Pythium, and at war with R'lyeh. I was told the war's because they took land from someone Peter had beated first without R'lyeh.

I know R'lyeh is fighting others, so I will not be applying the same rules like Peter. I'm pacifist :-)

Welcome aboard Nik!

I am going to delay the hosting 24 hours due to patch, new player, and LLamaserver madness!

Ryleh set himself to AI.

Arcos has staled the last 2 turns, and agartha is pounding him.

GM are you out there?

R'lyeh was soundly trashed the last turn I played, losing his hero, a few assassins,
and his major army with twenty mages and forty mindblasters. It only makes sense for
him to set himself to AI.
