Speaking of apparently useless tags, anyone knows what does the "divine being" tag is supposed to do? E.g., Kinnara, and many other Kailasa's summons.

I tried doing some digging but found nothing some of the tags in the game seem to be just flavor or something.

I believe certain weapons do extra damage against divine beings.

[Il Palazzo]

Oh the masses of mind hunts that all failed, how I didn't miss you.

Pfft. It's your own fault, matey. You knew Mchumba, with her glorious 9mr but 4 astral was there to sever the cords.

In other news, I kinda hoped you'd play it safer storming Elderhill.


As for Mrhappyface, I've PM'd him asking for at least a word.
With the state of affairs such as it is, and assuming he's not interested in playing anymore, it'd be probably more sensible to roll back again and look for a replacement. The game's on hold again, until he responds.

[Kebooo]

Actually I didn't know Mchumba was in any of the provinces I was mind hunting. Is she a stealthy unit? I probably shouldn't have gone by who was in those two provinces during the battles when deciding to mind hunt. Now I've got a bunch of feeble minded losers.

Also, were all those guys already in Elderhill or did you teleport them in? For some reason I thought it had only had a light guard, so I moved much of my forces away, anticipating you trying to reinforce the other keep. Unfortunately that didn't happen, and I lost a bunch of units for nothing, a now common theme.

[Il Palazzo]

I probably shouldn't have gone by who was in those two provinces during the battles when deciding to mind hunt.

Yeah, that's what I meant. It's the best one can do to prevent such mishaps, although it's not a sure-fire way. The other side can always teleport another astral mage in, and whether or not any mind hunts go through depends then on the order in which the spells are cast.

And yeah, I did gate those troops in just for that occasion. I thought you'd think I'd do something like that, and retain a larger force for the assault, only not expecting the surprise flying dustwalkers, spoiled by the previous victory. Thus the trap would have caught a bigger fish.

Playing this game is like reading Dune all over again. Plans within plans within plans.

[Il Palazzo]

I probably shouldn't have gone by who was in those two provinces during the battles when deciding to mind hunt.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Wait, I misread. I thought you said "should have gone by". From what I understand now, you simply missed her during the battle, 'cause she was there with the trolls, casting antimagic and all.

[Mrhappyface]

My game for the turn before and the one before that doesn't seem to be working right. I requested several times from Llamaserver the turn, but it's always the same. I keep get the Nagot error if I bring up the recruitment screen. Sorry 

[Il Palazzo]

Have you had all your 2h and trn files deleted before replacing them?

Also, if you have a problem, let us know, don't just go AI without any sort of notice.

[Mrhappyface]

Yeah, I even went to the trouble of reinstalling Dominions 3 after fishing around in Desura for another key. If you could rollback and find a sub that can get the .trn file to work, then it's good.

[Il Palazzo]

That's a bummer.
Well then, thanks for playing and see you in another game, another time.



Alright, guys, what do we do with this situation? I don't believe Margrave, and whomever decides to go for the Ulmish lands will have a good time fighting AI. Should we look for a replacement? Does anybody know someone willing to have a go?

[Kebooo]

Not having a human replacement could potentially ruin the tenor of our game. At that point I have to war with Ulm AI (since they aren't going to respect my lands!) and it will be a race of how quickly the R'lyeh/Marignon alliance can conquer Ulm and turn their full joint attention to Machaka. The game becomes predictable and diplomacy almost entirely disappears in this scenario. Three super powers, one stronger than the other two, what options are there, really? But right now we have four super powers, one stronger than the rest, but with wars situated in a way that there are several competing interests.

[gman8181]

So are we waiting on a replacement or not?

[Margrave]

Either we wait for a sub or it becomes a race of who eats up Ulm the fastest. I don't think many other people want that. Free territory or not.

Sorry to see you go Mrhappyface, you were a worthy opponent and having my guys get killed by your Iron Angels won't have the same feeling with a different person behind the wheel.

[Kebooo]

What about any of the previous players that have gone AI or were eliminated in this game? Or even gman if he was interested, could set Ermor to AI and take over as Ulm.

[Il Palazzo]

Or Akhier, for that matter.

I can't change the thread title, so we'll have to look for players via pms, I suppose. I've messaged Stworca already, but no response so far.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I am having a good time with my little corner of the world. The biggest threat is not attacking and I am working on pushing back the AI which seeing as my main force is on the wrong side of the Super Indy team its actually a decent challenge at the moment.
