I agree with jsb order. I got quite passive when bunch of people left and I didn't feel like going through the moves of taking their stuff.
Research for Gath comes from gold efficient but useless in combat mages (they dont have magic haha) so it's a harsh tradeoff.
I definitely thought about Astral Corruption or Nexus but was afraid of pissing off both remaining players
1 - Utgard
2 - Atlantis
3 - Gath
4 - Ulm
5 - Abyssia (quit)
6 - Pangea (quit)
7 - T'ien Ch'i
8 - Ragha
9 - Marignon
Abyssia was technically in the game at the end, but inactive before Ulm gave up the fight and went AI. I'd put myself ahead of Gath but seeing his surprising research lead, he might have had something big planned for the end-game that I haven't considered. Astral Corruption would have been an obstacle, for example!
Atlantis and Gath were still in the game with very strong position, while I win by the throne rush.
Ulm went AI and get defeated on the last turn.
Pan and Aby quit the game.
Maybe someone can post here an order, then i report the game.
Remember to mark Abysia and Pan as quitters, it influenced the game in a big way as it opened big power vacuums that had to be filled. I think Abysia was in the middle of an attack on Gath when he disappeared?
Also, we didn't have two Pangeas
gg guys.
Yeah, sorry, indeed I wasn't paying enough attention lategame, was wery busy IRl. Need a break from the game for a month or two.
But that not to detract from ssslock's cunning maneuvering. I was working to catch that doomstack going to SE throne but he turned north and that put enough distance to get into another throne's fortress, then my assault couldn't break him, although I would have probably won it in the open field. "Neutal" SE throne was then taken by a sneak attack.
gg wp
GG everyone.
That's an all out attack for me. I put so many resources into the throne rush, and losed so many.
If it fails I'm not going to have much chance to survive.
I tried to interrupt Gath's movement with some magic phase attacks attacking the province his army need to pass. Maybe it works, there was an large army didn't manage to reach the throne province.
Quitters are really bad for the game, makes the midgame really boring. Fortunately we still put out some good battles in the last few turns.
I played it too conservatively and should have attacked just a smidge sooner. It was unfortunate that Gath couldn't defend his throne, I have the feeling he wasn't playing at full capacity near the end as he wasn't communicative at all. Too bad as I was counting on him holding. Another turn or two would have been enough.
Players that quit without even bothering to go AI:
Pangea
Abysia
Furthermore, we are getting into the 50s and turns and scripting will be getting more and more complex. Is switching to 48h turns agreeable to the rest of you remaining? I think I can handle the 30h turns most days, but I will have to get extensions fairly frequently now during the summer.
Apparently llamaservers mail service is completely down now. It isn't responding to messages at all anymore.
happy nice Weekend togehter.
If possible, could I have 12-24 h extension to try to fix this? I don't know if it has anything to do with my previous issue btw.
P.S: just checked Dominions forums and it seems to be a general llamaserver issue?
Wish you all a good game. TC give all, but two are one too much….
TC has pos7 i think.
I've been temporarily locked out of my mail-account and probably won't be able to fix it until the turn rolls over. Could we have a 24h extension?
(P.S: Covid is getting better at least, don't need to sleep all day like I did the last couple of weeks).
Thanks for the game guys and GL for all of You
Sorry for all unanswered messages, but perfunctory answers was a part of my strategy... It haven't worked as intended as You see
CU in future games.
People in Bug Thread in steam Discussions are quite insistent, and developer (johan) seems to be engaged in general (no comments on bug yet though), so I hope it will be out soon.
In case we will be considering continuing before bug is fixed, I state that I'm not personally affected by the bug. Cheers.
I wish you a quick recovery, jsb!
I am OK resuming before that, but on the other hand I am currently down with Covid-19 and taking a fair beating, so a little rest doesn't hurt either ;D
I also agree we should hold for a while. These kind of bugs in Dominions are usually fixed fairly quickly.
