Eh, I could do that if you'd all like me to. In all honestly though, I'm a little iffy about switching horses nations midstream midgame.  I've fallen behind but I still think I could last a little longer with some creative strategies.

[Margrave]

Anyone know any player from one of the other Rounds going on that would be interested and/or advertise there? Surely somebody on the forums has the itch to kick me around with ultra serious black plated boots.

[Il Palazzo]

Posted ads in both r12 and r15 threads. No response so far.

[Il Palazzo]

Kebooo is going to post an ad on the Shrapnel Forums. We'll see how it goes.

I have rolled back the turn. I'd advise people not to resend their turns, although whomever was attacking Ulm might consider having to do so once the new player joins, should he request a ceasefire period.

What you all should do, though, is delete both .2h and .trn files from your dom3 saves directory - the standard rollback procedure.

[Stworca]

I've declined the request due to two facts :
- I absolutely hate the glacial pace that most ALL Dominions rounds are reduced to, with 900 hour long extensions. I don't blame the players at all ,because it's understandable that people cannot just commit all of their time to some silly game, but 7 days of waiting to move an army somewhere is not very interesting at this point.

- The second reason is that at this moment i only HAVE one day a week worth of free time, which would force me to ask for extensions all the time, forcing the round to become what i hate.

Thusly I declined. I'm sorry about that, and wish you luck finding the replacements. Nothing sucks more than a project being abandoned, even if it's "just a game".

[Mrhappyface]

Hopefully that will be remedied somewhat with the introductions of the Thrones.

[gman8181]

So did that replacement thing ever work out? I'd quite like to know if the grand race to eat up AI territory has been initiated.

Oh and Mrhappyface, at the very least before quitting you could have sent me all your gems.

[Il Palazzo]

So, uh, I presume there's no response from Shrapnel Forums either.

What should we do then?
Keep on waiting? It seems unlikely that anything'll change here.
Lobotomise Ulm? We'll be faced with tedious AI-removal and generally less fun a game.
Other ideas?

[Kebooo]

Yeah, no responses yet. I'd say to keep on waiting. An AI Ulm would kind of ruin the outcome of the game, I think. Because every alliance/diplomatic outcome becomes predictable.

Let's uh, port the game to Dominions 4 and continue there!

I'd say to keep waiting for a human replacement. Maybe someone will show up. This is probably going to be my last Dominions 3 game, since I'll be getting 4 soon, so I'm hoping to have a good memory of it and not a tedious and less fun one. The combination of trying to slowly siege the infinite expanse of Machaka forts + fighting an AI Ulm is too much tediousness wrapped in one package.

[Il Palazzo]

I also think waiting is the best choice, even at the risk of never restarting the game. Even without AI the tediousness of waging war across hundreds of provinces can erode any fighting spirit.

I leave the choice up to those with larger territories than myself. You folk will have to deal with all that for far longer than I would.

Same. I suppose it actually works out rather well with this potentially ending right at the time Dominions 4 is near completion. So far I like it better just because of repeat recruitment .

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

So I am not really keeping up on the Dom4 stuff. Is there a date yet or what?

[E. Albright]

Last I heard the actual release date is the 28th.

[Margrave]

Is the 29th the make it or break it moment for Round 14?

So far it seems like we're not going to be finding someone to sub for Ulm. And I for one wouldn't want to play whack-the-AI when it's over 130 provinces large even if I stand most to gain.

Is everyone else of a similar mind?

[gman8181]

Yeah, maybe we should all just start a new round of dominions 4 together.
