First Blood - Newbie game - Finished - Rotarr/Nightfall/Sephorin win!

Is his capital still under siege? Last time my scouts wandered by it was. Also, did he ever send in a turn the last few rounds, or did the game time out and skip him?

Edit: He was Bandar Log, with the awake White Bull, if I recall correctly. Well cwkjc, if you're reading this I'll share a tip that I found from playing single player as Bandar Log with an awake Nature bless White Bull. Elephants work just as well for initial independent (and often vs player) expansion, and do not tie design points in an awake pretender. Also, the White Bull badly needs to research Alteration to cast Personal Regeneration to be survivable, but a single arrow will enrage him, interrupting his casting.

So sorry, i've played my turn, i didn't find time to connect this week end....

The white bull was a try, i've played bandar log in my first mp and had a lot of problem with my rainbow to expand, i'm not sure that's a good option but it was funny, and i wanted a good expansion at the beginning, it's ok i think for the first turns with good scales it's very comfortable, maybe my mistake was to build a fort in a strange location the chokepoint with ctis should have been better.

Invasion of Ctis at the beggining of the game with my strong dominion could have been more aggressive.

I'm always searching a good way to play this nation

[Sephorin]

I will be out of town for a few days. I should have internet access, so my turns should proceed normally, if a bit slowly.

Rotarr-

Does discovering a sneaking scout cancel movement due to the resulting battle? If so, then I apologize - the scout was sneaking, not attempting to stall you, and I'll resubmit the upcoming turn to move my scouts through a different path.

[rotarr]

I don't think it should, but I'm not 100% sure there. I didn't move all of my armies last turn so it could be that your scout was on one of those provinces. I'll have a look at the turn when I come home.

[rotarr]

The scout was discovered by a non-moving army, so no harm done

I think you can stall by ordering him to attack though, I suppose that would be considered an unethical stalling move.

[attackdrone]

Yeah, I think it works out that about 50% of the time, an attacking scout (or any army) interrupts movement in the province it attacks, if it attacks out of a province owned by its own nation. Most likely, being discovered while scouting does not have this effect.

[Sephorin]

Hi, Valerius. If possible, could I get a 12 hour extension on the current turn? Thanks!

Sephorin

[Valerius]

Sure; 12 hours have been added to the clock.

[Sephorin]

Thanks. Sorry for the delay, everyone. My turn is now in.

Sephorin
