MP Game,HoC - House of Chains. Corinthian wins! - Page 14

Oh yea, I am totally gonna write a brief AAR on this once it is over. Because I had all manners of novel ideas in this game that I have not seen anyone use before.

As for my overall build, I chose to play ermor because I wanted to use this picture in a conversation with my enemies.

Well, that never happened so I'm posting it now instead.

Other things: Itza has been staling for two turns in a row now. I think it is safe to say that he has gone AWOL on us. We should do something about that, because although I hold his lands, his armies are still mostly intact and although I doubt he can win anymore, he can still decide the outcome of the game.

Also, something is seriously wrong with the dwarves if you look at the research graph. I have heard about research flat-lining. but in this case the dwarves actually have negative research! They are losing knowledge of magic!

I know that mages can get feebleminded in the late winter but this is ridiculous!

I am not kidding about the dwarven research graph btw.

Seriously Executor, who did you hand over the game to? Because this is absurd!

I thought it has something to do when you go over lvl 9 research.

The turn you go over lvl 9 say with 500rp it's included in the graph.
But the next turn those 500 rp will be deleted.

Or something.....

Yep, that's a thing. It does mean that Exec. has apparently stopped finetuning his research, for shame!

Trust me, with a better view of it you'd have found out it wasn't intresting at all.

Third Itza stale in a row.

Should you or I make a sub thread WraithLord?

Executor · #6 March 15th, 2013, 02:47 PM

So, my friend tells me he can't register here, or rather he's been waiting for his account to be approved for a while and has just given up.

To sum everything up;
Yes, he did hit research level 9 and waste some points, which for some reason made the score graphs drop apparently.

Second, Itza has been staling on top of Dwarven forts while Ermor has basically all but conquered his lands without putting any effort into it, so my friend would like to know if there's any point playing and should he just turn AI?

Thirdly, and this is my question, I vague remember something about reaching construction level 10 and all those pearly white special unique items that go together but aren't available for construction (like bogus ring, ect); shield, sword, plate armor, helmet and boots.
Something about needing to hit a certain amount of RP to reach it. Can anyone verify this? Just something of interest to me.

Never tried it myself, but yes, I've seen it pretty reliably confirmed that this is a thing. Not sure though, but I believe they're actually at lvl 12, so you'd have to have enough research to go from lvl9 - 1RP to lvl 12 in one turn. (since surplus over lvl 9 doesn't accumulate from turn to turn.)

"Good morning, kiddos. Figured I had the time to dip my toes in dominions water again, if only for a while.

lets see what I can do with some lizards."

That is of course if your friend isn't interested...

Corinthian · #9 March 19th, 2013, 06:34 AM

Good to have you here you again Colonial. I have not seen you since that Flashkart game two years ago.

You should ideally send your email to the admin, Wraithlord so he can set you as the new player. And also ask him for a turn delay as the deadline is soon.

Welcome. And Good luck.

Guys I wanted to apologize for going stale in this game. As a new player, I took on too many games at once and then real world stuff got in the way and I simply didn't have the time to stay on top of the games I'd committed myself too.

I should have come by when it became clear I couldn't continue and given you warning so that you could find a replacement. I won't make that mistake again as its not considerate of the other players.

Hope to see you all in another game.
