Wonderloss, you still haven't submitted your turn. I thought you are waiting for louist to confirm the address change, but he already told you to go ahead, is there something else we are waiting for? If you are just taking your time with planning, I apologize.
I'd guess he took a bit too "theoretical" approach to ;-) Like all research and no army. Arco has the problem that you can have one or the other - to boost reserach, you must pick sloth that makes resource production difficult.
I'd say go for it. IMO he is packing already ;-)
The Council wholeheartedly welcomes peace with the great and ancient kingdom of Lanka, whose people were never enemies of Hinnom. May all the war wounds heal quickly, and may Fate smile on the people of Lanka.
Once again, the server fails to process moves...
Uff, I thought the news will be like: "Android development ends, Windows Mobile 7 offered as replacement". Malware will always happen, as long as there are information to steal.

[quote who="just_jim" reply="76" id="2944525"]my opinion... Forgotten Realm's: "Baulder's Gate II, Shadows of Amn" I am almost 50 years old, and I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since the days of 20 sided dice... hehe. I have played literally thousands of hours both on paper and computer, and years past I've won 3 different D&D tourniments at conventions. And easily the best, most heart wrenching adventure I ever played was Baldur's
Just bought the game, since I find the concept and execution brilliant! Been playing just one evening, but I am already hooked. So, is anyone here up for a game? ;-)

I take it back about elephants. I sent one of my one-man-armies into an elephantized independent province, and they swarmed him real bad, and after several rounds of misses from both sides, he got tired and fell. Annoying little buggers, as chaff goes, elephants are most annoying of them all! BTW Arco, IMO your greatest weakness was marching across half the world only to throw a punch at me for destroying our beloved Lady Yomi. That brought you into conflict with Tien Chi, who wanted

A rare gem just discovered - Frozen Synapse! http://www.frozensynapse.com/
I will create a post in the official forums asking for a substitute. However, with all respect, two days is not a whole lot of time to find a replacement, louist. It's also good to mention such thing before the game (like "I have only 2 weeks and then I have to leave"). You must have known the game will be longer.
Well, elephants are really effective early troops, with two major weaknesses - low morale, and vulnerability to arrows - they have low protection and are really hard to miss. Also elemental magic does wonders. And their only strength comes from the trample ability. But when you have units of their size, and fight them normally, their stats really suck. They are just scared, oversized meatballs.
Emerson - yeah, my scouts have spotted the elephant stacked at your gates. What can I say - unless you have a Mad Elephant Disease vial stashed somewhere, you have a hard battle ahead of you.
The Council would like to throw a feast at the occasion of the 65th birthday of the honored scholar and independent researcher Dagan, who unfortunately lost his voice due to a prolonged illness. Although mute, he keeps on writing tirelessly despite his advancing years, and his books like "Evocations and Invocations", "Demonology for dummies", and "Astral travel in three simple steps" remain influential in academic circles of Gehenna. <span style="c
Well, he seemed to have sent his move, because I have just received a new turn, and I don'd believe he forfeited.
Interesting recent links: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-time-is-short-now-that-were-past-peak-oil-2011-5 Moreover, Venezuela issued s statement that oil export is no longer a priority - because supply starts to lag behind demand and they can choose the buyer (so the old complacent tale of "they need us, cause they have to sell to us" crumbles). Similarly, Russia finished its
The following is a fragment of a theatre play, washed ashore in one of our provinces. For the sake of preserving the diversity of Hieronica's cultural heritage, the venerable Council decided to publish it (not regretting the considerable costs of scribe and papyrus): ...

Ghostwes - I know I am the last one, but I was waiting for some diplomatic responses to return, plus there are really some hard dilemmas and decisions to make now, so please don't be angry at me taking some time. I also had a training session scheduled and I decided to make my moves after, because physical activity seems to clear one's head rather nicely. But it won't be long now. Regarding the lost items, if you happen to retain control of the province after the battle, a
[quote who="wonderloss" reply="374" id="2943062"]Certain provinces are victory points. They only matter if the victory point condition is enabled. Victory point win is not enabled for this game, but the victory points still show.[/quote] Please also note that victory points spread dominion like temples, to an extent. The provinces with victory points are marked by a little symbol of a crown on the map.
Witcher books are awesome, and the Czech translation is not so bad either. I also highly recommend other books from Sapkovski, notably his trilogy about the Hussite movement in Czech in 15th century called Narrentum, God's Warriors and Lux Perpetua. I like it even better than the Witcher saga, expecially the later part where it all became too muddy, over-complicated and ridden with unnecessary inter-textual references. The second game looks good, but the launc
Finally, my turns arrived after many hours, the "updated" time on the server now matches the actual time. Thanks the Hungry Flames of Nether.
Turn 20? But that's wrong, I see turn 19, waiting for Hinnom and Lanka. Last file I received from the server was turn 18 anyway. 24h is fine for me. BTW no turn file came to the new address. I think the server is down/broken, at least turn processing is.
Last updated at 07:48 GMT on Friday May 27th Current time: 12:22 GMT Judging from this, it seems the server no longer updates the game status (since 7:48 GMT). I have sent PM to Llamabeast, the owner and maintainer of the server on Dom3 forums, perhaps he will look into the matter.
