Re: EA Tempest - Send Pretenders
 

Sorry, but I returned a bit later than expected and I'll need another day or two to finalize my pretender.

Re: EA Tempest - Send Pretenders
 

Sorry for hijacking your game thread guys. :)

I can't compete with your word count Calahan since I'm writing on a phone. So I'll just say that while I agree that some choices are lost by removing hammers, I'd argue that at least as many are created by not forcing every nation to obtain E3. It would be easy to make a list of interesting decisions like you've done for additional pretender design choices opened up by removing that requirement. Note that this isn't because I "don't like thinking" during pretender design; far from it. It's because I want there to be more interesting options and choices to consider.

But anyway, I guess we are unlikely to agree on this. Maybe some sub-mod with hammers re-included should be created, because in many other ways CBM1.84 (and hopefully 1.9!) is far superior to CB1.6, so it seems like a bit of a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Re: EA Tempest - Send Pretenders
 

Yep, another one like Masochist Edition for 1.7 :) Haven't seen any games started with it, unfortunately. Maybe the name was too pessimistic :).

Re: EA Tempest - Send Pretenders
 

I don't have any experience modding so this maybe impossible for a number of reasons, but I throw it out there anyways...has anyone considered modding new items that also give the forge bonus? These items would require other magic paths, thus freeing a player from needing E3 on their pretender as well as allowing earth gems to be used for things other than hammers. In the early game players would still have an incentive to economize on gems before they acquired these forge bonus items so most of the strategy based around hammers would be preserved.

Re: EA Tempest - Send Pretenders
 

Unfortunately it's impossible with current modding tools.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

So I just ran into a province with heavy calvary with six attacks (2x lance, sword, and hoof), Anyone else notice anything weird?

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Well luckily the heavy cavalry I faced only had 2 attacks, but I saw heavy cavalry with six attacks in another game I subbed into as well. I though it was a CBM 1.8 mistake but I'm guessing it has something to do with the latest patch now.

Not sure how to fix it or if it even can be fixed.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

You need to download LLama's fixed versions of the mods. THis problem keeps coming up, because somehow everyone missed the thread about fixing them once the patch got added.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Right! :doh:

I did that for 1.8, but not for 1.6. Thanks PM.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Delay please hosting for 24h
Thanks

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I am currently on vacation and have just found out that "Internet access" means a old dos PC without user access to USB ports that is shakingly connected to the Internet.
Oh, and the only internet cafee in a radius of 5 km just closed.
I can still send E-Mails and messages, but not get or send attachments.
My vacation is sceduled to go on for 2 weeks, so a sub will likely be needed.

I apologize again, I really thought that I would have working access to the Internet.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

For whatever reason Llamaserver doesn't feel like hosting this game until all turns are in apparently, so at least you didn't stale (although I'm slowly starting to wish you would ;) ).

I'll try to find you a temporary sub until you come back Mightypeon.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Well all my sub attempts failed, the only thing to do now is to set Sauro AI sadly. I would have done it this turn but I wasn't around the past few days.
At least the game will run smoothly from now on.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Greeting all,
I will be running Sauromatia until Mightypeon can retake the reins. Meanwhile please let me know via PM if there is anything I need to know regarding Sauromatia's relations with your pretender.

Mightypeon- please send me a Pm also if your internet is up.

-Sauromatia

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I will no be there from friday night (GMT) to sunday afternoon (GMT time again). Could you delay hosting accordingly ?

Thanks.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

The following turn will be delayed 24 hours, or so, on kasnavadas account.

Cheers.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I am back now, but may require a slight delay to formalize my retaking. Many thanks sansanjuan for subbing in.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

My pleasure. Enjoy the game all!
-ssj

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Welcome back Mightypeon, and thank you for subbing in ssj!

Mightypeon, please send me your email address in a PM so I can change it back.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Thanks for extending !

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I still did not receive my turn.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Mightypeon, you need to give me your email address so I can transfer the nation back to you.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

You need to select resend turn in llamaserver

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Mightypeon, I can't keep delaying the game any more, I need to know where you stand?

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

E-Mail address send to Executor.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Okay, changed it back to you and requested turn resend. You shold be getting the turn any moment now.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I am traveling back the the US as fall semester is starting and I'd like hosting to be delayed until something like 19:00 GMT on this Sunday. Normally I'd take my turn on my laptop in the airport but the damn thing's fan died and it started billowing smoke earlier today. I probably won't need the full time to sort things out.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I'll be out of town till Sunday everning.
Delay please hosting of trn#20 if needed.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Sure guys, I'll delay turn 20 accordingly.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

If anyone wants to sell a hammer or two please PM me.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

So my dom3 cd is dead and I can't find any way to download the game legally or torrent (since my school network seems to block that) and input my serial key. Soooo, pretty much I think I'll need to be subbed out.

This wouldn't have been an issue if my laptop hadn't burnt out right before leaving. Or if I'd backed up the CD online but... :( Awesome start to the semester for me.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Sorry to hear that Sil.

Okay, HorrorFend is effectively dead as of this turn so he is kindly taking over Atlantis.
Lolomo has offered to turn TC AI so that HorrorFend doesn't get a CD violation and stale. Now since Llamaserver is in a bit of a pickle that might take a while.

HorrorFend, do not send your turn in until Lolomo posts that he's turned TC AI. I've added an additional 24 hours to the turn but Llamaserver will probably auto postpone the game anyway.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

As Executor mentioned I'm taking over Atlantis, please PM me with any diplomatic relations you might already have with Atlantis. Hopefully we can get moving again shortly after Llamaserver is back.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Hi, it looks like TC is no longer on the list, I guess he is eliminated already.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Greetings, Sauromatia is willing to provide other nations with Blood Slaves.
As of now we have 50 of those available, and are willing to part with them for mere money. Buy your access to Blood now!

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Hi All,

I am afraid my new laptop has packed up (writing this from a borrowed PC) so I am unable to continue. My laptop has been failing to start properly for a week or two now and since Tuesday has simply refused to start in anything except safe mode (sometimes). As my laptop probably can't be fixed by myself it will take some time to send it back and get fixed or me to buy a new one (annoying as that one was only 6 months old....)

My power (niefelheim) has (had?) a fairly large empire but was weak in troops, mages and income :p All in all the worst possible combination :) And I was about to be crushed in a two front war :) Unfortunately since I found this out I have not been able to access the game or access this forum so I have not been able to build up even token forces to face Mictlan in the south.or do any diplomacy.

Sorry to drop out like this. And for the stales. All caused by my computer failing repeatedly - even the one last week. I hope it doesn't skew the game too much. While I suspect Dimaz (Mictlan) would have beaten me anyway I should have been able to hold him up a little.

Please either replace me or turn me AI.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Sorry to see another player go, this game seems to have a curse tho it appears to affect laptops more, I only had a systems crash a few days ago. :)

Okay Hoplo, thanks for giving me the heads up, I managed to postpone the turn this morning so only the one stale for now.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I'm taking ove Nief. But with 3 people attacking me,you should have just set this nation AI.

But I''l do what I can.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Thanks for taking over ghoul, even if it is a hopeless position.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I would need a six hrs extension (travelling), please.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I will not be there from tomorrow morning to... probably monday night (going to a friend's wedding). Could you extend ?

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I'm back, and done my turn.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I need 24h extension on this turn (actually, what about switching to 48h?)

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I guess it's about time. Hosting interval changed to 48 hours.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Sorry for the stale, we were celebrating my wife's birthday and I forgot to send the turn (it was already done). As always it happened at the most unfortunate situation.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

I would have delayed the game had I noticed you were about to stale. Give me a heads up if you need me to watch the clock for you in the future.

Hope it was a fun birthday celebration!

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Hellheim offers a rare artifact for sale.
Buy Robe of Magi just for 60gems of any kind. ;)

Many nations can get RoW but a few can forge RoM.
Don't miss your chance to possess it. :)

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

For those that have missed the other post... I do not have the time to go on playing in this game. I'll have to leave permanently this week-end.

If you people know anyone that could sub me I'll be in your debt. Thanks in advance.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Please add 24h for this turn.

Re: EA Tempest - Running
 

Hm, managed to do something in 15 mins, probably AI's turns are better...
