Fun Fact: I've got only three Pinocchios left, one of which is badly damaged, and serves as a scientific experiment, to ascertain if Gift of Health can cause a statue to regrow an arm.
Honestly, the time of Pinocchios is over, I'm switching to more potent stuff now.

Haha yeah... I think I got hit by one of those more potent things this turn. At least I'm hoping those are the more potent things because I didn't even know something that powerful was IN the game. :-\ I get to pull out the creative stuff right off the bat though, so now we just hope it works!

Edit: Hmm good thing I decided to actually research how those spells work... my initial plan would not have worked at all and was much more expensive than the (slightly less awesome) alternatives. Ohhh well.

Another Edit: I didn't have much time last night but I spent some time (uhh I guess it was actually about two hours) figuring out what I had and setting up some orders. I'll have to rework some of that tonight, but I should be able to finish it relatively quickly and get the turn out in the early evening.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I guess I'll reconsider me position regarding Agartha, any enemy of R'lyeh is a friend of mine, I love showing late age R'lyeh who's the real boss of the seas, late age atlantis is a sleeping giant of a nation. Altough I have only played against the AI so it doesn't really count :P

Ok, finished my turn. I have a... problem? Maybe? I think when I hit end turn it saved the turn in two places and I'm not sure which is right. When I downloaded the save I put it in a folder I made (the bay12 folder) in my savedgames folder. After I hit end turn there's a mid_caelum.2h file in that folder as well as a new folder (I think it's new, anyway) called newlords with JUST a mid_caelum_0.2h file (no .trn file, which reaffirms my suspicion that it wasn't just an old game I forgot about).  Which should I upload?

Edit: Google knows all. Apparently that's where my premade pretenders go, hence why there's an _0 on that .2h and not on any of the others. Turn from the game folder uploading.

Yeaaah!  And the game is reborn!  What a wonderful St. Patrick's Day miracle!

I think I have my turn mostly ready to go, but I'm waiting on some feedback to submit it. Does anyone have issues with diplomacy being done via PM vs. in game messages? It's easier to coordinate stuff with PMs but it's using means outside those provided by the game so I felt like I should ask (even though it IS a bit after the fact).

Also, Bandar Log is a lot of fun (vs. AI anyway...) and I don't think I've played an astral heavy nation before. It's... different. Learning all sorts of stuff about organizing battles more effectively (woo monkey distractions!) and the power of ridiculous masses of troops, especially in early game and when combined with a couple of elephants/mages. Also rainbow pretenders. Pretty cool.

We have been using mostly PMs for diplomacy - the in game messaging system is just too slow for our schemes.

OK, good, that was the impression I had.

Huh? Am i missing something, or did no one pick Abyssia or Niefelheim?  :o

It could be tricky to pick Niefelheim in Middle Era. And no, nobody chose Abysia.

Ah, that's right, it's a middle era PBEM. Sorry 

I assumed - due to a mistake - that it's an early era play, where Aby and Nief are two quanity powerhouses.

No idea whom to cheer for..  :o

Awesome summary there Palazzo! Also, technically allies, woohoo!

Glad we've got this one back on track!

I'd bump the other thread, but I'll just mention it here ... Be sure to send me a PM when Round Six gets sorted out because I've not been paying such keen attention to it.

Welcome Bluerobin, goodluck!

My stalkers! Three of them at once! The items...
Nasty, nasty birdmen.

I also have noticed that Marignon and Mictlan are fighting tooth and claw over who is to be the one eradicating Ashdod.

Haha I liked the one that hit my Pretender. He just kind of flailed trying to hit him and then got surrounded by skeletons.
