"I let you report it"

I tried, hopefully I didn't make to much of a mess... check out if I made any mistakes.

Was a great game, hopefully we'll be playing again together!
Thanks everyone for the fun.

@Fist Mate, tigrans should be forbidden to be so mobile
I was forced to defend at all times, due to the lack of vision  couldn't spare some units to clean the camps on the other side of the Throne City  anyways, well played and congrats I guess

@Hilliadan, yeah, that clash crippled me too  it took all my chances of holding against Fist

I made 3 big mistakes in that game, that changed the balance of power, as you can see in the stats...  I was way ahead all of you but in like 3 turns, I lost everything.

1/ after I killed rrrookie, I didn't see you had taken his city West of the underground exit. So I started to go West... then I realized the mistake and backed up but had not enough move points. The turn after, my 3 stacks were dead....

2/ I tried to attack AlX with my main army (my leader, with Elite units, including 2 regrowth Troll) but I failed to think he was on artic and may have concealed units. From a "very likely victory" (in my mind), it went into a big loss. So my two main armies were dead...

3/ seeing that your army was on the North, I hoped to take your Throne undefended and sent one reserve stack there. I managed to take the Throne but you came back soon and my last stack was dead. I should not have gone there without the support of Cherub for intel (you had killed the one I sent just before I attacked if I remember correctly).

At that point, I had almost my 8th Goblin city but no army left and my leader was in the void... Then you started attacking North with scouts... then South...

Well... I was my own undoing. :'(

My Throne city was like 3 turns from where you were, with no defender. So I surrendered. Congratz Fistandantilus! It was a nice 1st ladder game for me!
I let you report it.

Well, it's up to you I think, I don't even know where your capitol is so it will definitely take awhile before the final confrontation

I read only now about AlX. I captured his throne city the turn after he surrendered, and sent his leader in the void the turn before so I think it didn't matter much, he didn't have but a couple of units left at that point.

As a matter of fact the war between the Tigrans and Frostlings was an emotional rollercoaster for the better of 30 turns. I initially lost my throne city but fought back and captured an undead town, then comes Undead Plague which crippled my growth so much... Was lots of fun, I'm kinda sad it ended, kudos to AlX for a well fought game.

I think it's done now. I had still a (very very small) chance as long as my leader and group was alive, but I didn't see the stack from the East coming, so now I can surrender I guess.

We're 2 left: Fistandantilus and I.

AlX, you surrendered.... so it also breaks the "no quitter" rule. I think you knew it as I posted here about that, regarding Hannibal's surrender, so that's not nice from you. Consider yourself warned: games should be played until you are defeated.

Eheh, you're welcome, my pleasure!

By the way, Hannibal2000, in theory you should not have surrendered. Players are supposed to stay until the end of the match and their defeat. That's the "no quitter" rule here.
I discussed it with Markymark who said ", the players have to decide if someone is a quitter, hannibal play slow in some pbems (maybe he shall get a warning)". I think for the "slow", he was referring to the time where you were away (he was probably not aware).


Anyway, try to avoid surrendering in the future maybe?

Thank you guys for helping me not miss my turn! 

We significantly reduced the number of survivors in 2 turns! Good luck to the remaining players!

Sorry Hannibal, I hope the turn you missed was not a big handicap, but given what I know, I think things would have been difficult for you anyway.

EDIT: edited an information, should post it later when it has no way to influence the game

rrrookie said "I will be out of town without internet access from 6:00 Thursday, August 27 through 3:00 PM Sunday, August 30 [US central time]. If we could keep the turns at 3 or 7 days that would be greatly appreciated."

So I'll keep the turn timer until the end of August.

By the way, sorry Hannibal that you had to miss your turn but I think 7 days is the maximum we can accept if we want to finish the game before 2017.

Hannibal warned he would be away on August 18-27, so I'm afraid he'll miss his current turn.
Then we should soon be back to normal and I'll set the turn timer to 1 day again.

Hi everyone!

Sorry, AoW3 crashed just after launching my turn so I had to restart the turn. I missed the screenshot of the error message.
Rookie, I guess actually you did do your turn in your laptop but it wasn't uploaded correctly because it's written you reloaded the turns too.

I hope it won't happen again for both of us.

So, we've got 3 turns restarted so far:
- 1 by Hannibal
- 1 by rookie
- 1 by Hiliadan

I'm on vacation and I'll get back fully operative on the 17th.

Hopefully I'll be able to play a turn or two while on the road.. otherwise, may the mighty AIXStormrage spare me

I've just increased the turn timer to 7 days. I'll see if I increase it further but I think 7 days could be a maximum, even if some people miss their turn, otherwise the game will be slowed too much.

It will stay to 7 days until 27 August (see posts below).

Ok Hannibal... Next time, please try to get some kind of evidence (e.g. photo of your laptop crashed).

Yes, the game is going relatively fast, that's nice!

I did turn 11 6 hours ago before I left for work and it is already back to me for turn 12!  Wow! : )

Sorry for the restart, my laptop crashed.

Fistandantilus has issues to post a gaming blog right now, hopefully it will be solved soon. So what he said:
"Anyway, I'm on vacation from the 8th to the 16th of August included."

So I'll increase the turn timer to 7 days from next week on.

By the way, RIP Gilafron! :o I won't make more comments now because it would give indications to everyone (please do the same) but it will be interesting to comment that at the end of the game.

Ok I'm extending the turn timer to 4 days.

Next time is August 18-27 where it will be 7 days (sorry but you will need to miss at least 1 turn).
Fistandantilus, when are you away?

Test

I will be away from Friday till Monday this weekend and from August 18-27.

Hello everyone!

Just to check if one of you had planned to be away for some days so that I can extend the turn timer for that period? Fistandantilus especially, when will you be away in August, I'm not sure you said the exact date.

Hiliadan

Was able to play it after the revert, thanks!

Issue was when I tried to open the turn it simply didn't finish the download part and popped me back to the main manu with a 'download failed' message.

I didn't think about taking a screenshot, I'll make sure to do it if this happens again (hopefully it won't). Sorry for the delay.

Hi everybody!

Fistandantilus reported me he had an issue to download the latest turn and asked if I can revert it. He said he tried several times to load it, on 2 different PCs.

So I'm going to revert the turn and replay mine. I hope it can solve the issue.
Fistandantilus, it would be great if you could get a printscreen and post it here to show us the issue. Same applies for similar problem for anyone in the future.

Hiliadan
(posted on the game "gaming blog", so please answer there rather than by PM)

Hi all!

AlxStormRage, unfortunately, we already did a full turn so we cannot revert to your turn 1. Sorry about that (but that would not have happened if you had paid attention to v1.602 in the first place).

I extend the turn timer to 3 days because Fistandantilus is away until Sunday, as announced earlier. That way, he will be able to play his turn.

If you know you won't be available at some point, please say it in advance so that we can see how we deal with it.

Hiliadan

Ok I just got my answer, Hannibal completed his turn just after I posted. So we'll see how we deal with AIXStormRage later.

Anyway, it looks like reverting one turn + waiting for turn timer to expire works with the "beta" issue.

(published on the "gaming blog" of PBEM 5)

Hannibal2000, are you able to play your turn now? Or should I revert to the turn of Fistandantilus as he suggested so that AIXStormRage can replay entirely his turn with v1.602?

We do not have any answer from AIXStormRage to confirm he played with the beta and can / want to use the v1.602... But at the same time, noone said he was interested to replace players from PBEM 5, so a restart without AIXStormRage does not look like a good option either.

I reverted the turn to AIXStormrage and send him a PM through the in-game message system. We'll see what he says / does.

Regarding the point (extension of turn timer for exceptional case during the Summer) I mentioned in my PM, I would like to get your feedback.

I tried, hopefully I didn't make to much of a mess... check out if I made any mistakes.

Was a great game, hopefully we'll be playing again together!
Thanks everyone for the fun.

@Fist Mate, tigrans should be forbidden to be so mobile
I was forced to defend at all times, due to the lack of vision  couldn't spare some units to clean the camps on the other side of the Throne City  anyways, well played and congrats I guess

@Hilliadan, yeah, that clash crippled me too  it took all my chances of holding against Fist

I made 3 big mistakes in that game, that changed the balance of power, as you can see in the stats...  I was way ahead all of you but in like 3 turns, I lost everything.

1/ after I killed rrrookie, I didn't see you had taken his city West of the underground exit. So I started to go West... then I realized the mistake and backed up but had not enough move points. The turn after, my 3 stacks were dead....

2/ I tried to attack AlX with my main army (my leader, with Elite units, including 2 regrowth Troll) but I failed to think he was on artic and may have concealed units. From a "very likely victory" (in my mind), it went into a big loss. So my two main armies were dead...

3/ seeing that your army was on the North, I hoped to take your Throne undefended and sent one reserve stack there. I managed to take the Throne but you came back soon and my last stack was dead. I should not have gone there without the support of Cherub for intel (you had killed the one I sent just before I attacked if I remember correctly).

At that point, I had almost my 8th Goblin city but no army left and my leader was in the void... Then you started attacking North with scouts... then South...

Well... I was my own undoing. :'(

My Throne city was like 3 turns from where you were, with no defender. So I surrendered. Congratz Fistandantilus! It was a nice 1st ladder game for me!
I let you report it.

Well, it's up to you I think, I don't even know where your capitol is so it will definitely take awhile before the final confrontation

I read only now about AlX. I captured his throne city the turn after he surrendered, and sent his leader in the void the turn before so I think it didn't matter much, he didn't have but a couple of units left at that point.

As a matter of fact the war between the Tigrans and Frostlings was an emotional rollercoaster for the better of 30 turns. I initially lost my throne city but fought back and captured an undead town, then comes Undead Plague which crippled my growth so much... Was lots of fun, I'm kinda sad it ended, kudos to AlX for a well fought game.

I think it's done now. I had still a (very very small) chance as long as my leader and group was alive, but I didn't see the stack from the East coming, so now I can surrender I guess.

We're 2 left: Fistandantilus and I.

AlX, you surrendered.... so it also breaks the "no quitter" rule. I think you knew it as I posted here about that, regarding Hannibal's surrender, so that's not nice from you. Consider yourself warned: games should be played until you are defeated.

Eheh, you're welcome, my pleasure!

By the way, Hannibal2000, in theory you should not have surrendered. Players are supposed to stay until the end of the match and their defeat. That's the "no quitter" rule here.
I discussed it with Markymark who said ", the players have to decide if someone is a quitter, hannibal play slow in some pbems (maybe he shall get a warning)". I think for the "slow", he was referring to the time where you were away (he was probably not aware).


Anyway, try to avoid surrendering in the future maybe?

Thank you guys for helping me not miss my turn! 

We significantly reduced the number of survivors in 2 turns! Good luck to the remaining players!

Sorry Hannibal, I hope the turn you missed was not a big handicap, but given what I know, I think things would have been difficult for you anyway.

EDIT: edited an information, should post it later when it has no way to influence the game

rrrookie said "I will be out of town without internet access from 6:00 Thursday, August 27 through 3:00 PM Sunday, August 30 [US central time]. If we could keep the turns at 3 or 7 days that would be greatly appreciated."

So I'll keep the turn timer until the end of August.

By the way, sorry Hannibal that you had to miss your turn but I think 7 days is the maximum we can accept if we want to finish the game before 2017.

Hannibal warned he would be away on August 18-27, so I'm afraid he'll miss his current turn.
Then we should soon be back to normal and I'll set the turn timer to 1 day again.

Hi everyone!

Sorry, AoW3 crashed just after launching my turn so I had to restart the turn. I missed the screenshot of the error message.
Rookie, I guess actually you did do your turn in your laptop but it wasn't uploaded correctly because it's written you reloaded the turns too.

I hope it won't happen again for both of us.

So, we've got 3 turns restarted so far:
- 1 by Hannibal
- 1 by rookie
- 1 by Hiliadan

I'm on vacation and I'll get back fully operative on the 17th.

Hopefully I'll be able to play a turn or two while on the road.. otherwise, may the mighty AIXStormrage spare me

I've just increased the turn timer to 7 days. I'll see if I increase it further but I think 7 days could be a maximum, even if some people miss their turn, otherwise the game will be slowed too much.

It will stay to 7 days until 27 August (see posts below).

Ok Hannibal... Next time, please try to get some kind of evidence (e.g. photo of your laptop crashed).

Yes, the game is going relatively fast, that's nice!

I did turn 11 6 hours ago before I left for work and it is already back to me for turn 12!  Wow! : )

Sorry for the restart, my laptop crashed.

Fistandantilus has issues to post a gaming blog right now, hopefully it will be solved soon. So what he said:
"Anyway, I'm on vacation from the 8th to the 16th of August included."

So I'll increase the turn timer to 7 days from next week on.

By the way, RIP Gilafron! :o I won't make more comments now because it would give indications to everyone (please do the same) but it will be interesting to comment that at the end of the game.

Ok I'm extending the turn timer to 4 days.

Next time is August 18-27 where it will be 7 days (sorry but you will need to miss at least 1 turn).
Fistandantilus, when are you away?

Test

I will be away from Friday till Monday this weekend and from August 18-27.

Hello everyone!

Just to check if one of you had planned to be away for some days so that I can extend the turn timer for that period? Fistandantilus especially, when will you be away in August, I'm not sure you said the exact date.

Hiliadan

Was able to play it after the revert, thanks!

Issue was when I tried to open the turn it simply didn't finish the download part and popped me back to the main manu with a 'download failed' message.

I didn't think about taking a screenshot, I'll make sure to do it if this happens again (hopefully it won't). Sorry for the delay.

Hi everybody!

Fistandantilus reported me he had an issue to download the latest turn and asked if I can revert it. He said he tried several times to load it, on 2 different PCs.

So I'm going to revert the turn and replay mine. I hope it can solve the issue.
Fistandantilus, it would be great if you could get a printscreen and post it here to show us the issue. Same applies for similar problem for anyone in the future.

Hiliadan
(posted on the game "gaming blog", so please answer there rather than by PM)

Hi all!

AlxStormRage, unfortunately, we already did a full turn so we cannot revert to your turn 1. Sorry about that (but that would not have happened if you had paid attention to v1.602 in the first place).

I extend the turn timer to 3 days because Fistandantilus is away until Sunday, as announced earlier. That way, he will be able to play his turn.

If you know you won't be available at some point, please say it in advance so that we can see how we deal with it.

Hiliadan

Ok I just got my answer, Hannibal completed his turn just after I posted. So we'll see how we deal with AIXStormRage later.

Anyway, it looks like reverting one turn + waiting for turn timer to expire works with the "beta" issue.

(published on the "gaming blog" of PBEM 5)

Hannibal2000, are you able to play your turn now? Or should I revert to the turn of Fistandantilus as he suggested so that AIXStormRage can replay entirely his turn with v1.602?

We do not have any answer from AIXStormRage to confirm he played with the beta and can / want to use the v1.602... But at the same time, noone said he was interested to replace players from PBEM 5, so a restart without AIXStormRage does not look like a good option either.

I reverted the turn to AIXStormrage and send him a PM through the in-game message system. We'll see what he says / does.

Regarding the point (extension of turn timer for exceptional case during the Summer) I mentioned in my PM, I would like to get your feedback.

"I let you report it"

I tried, hopefully I didn't make to much of a mess... check out if I made any mistakes.

Was a great game, hopefully we'll be playing again together!
Thanks everyone for the fun.

@Fist Mate, tigrans should be forbidden to be so mobile
I was forced to defend at all times, due to the lack of vision  couldn't spare some units to clean the camps on the other side of the Throne City  anyways, well played and congrats I guess

@Hilliadan, yeah, that clash crippled me too  it took all my chances of holding against Fist

I made 3 big mistakes in that game, that changed the balance of power, as you can see in the stats...  I was way ahead all of you but in like 3 turns, I lost everything.

1/ after I killed rrrookie, I didn't see you had taken his city West of the underground exit. So I started to go West... then I realized the mistake and backed up but had not enough move points. The turn after, my 3 stacks were dead....

2/ I tried to attack AlX with my main army (my leader, with Elite units, including 2 regrowth Troll) but I failed to think he was on artic and may have concealed units. From a "very likely victory" (in my mind), it went into a big loss. So my two main armies were dead...

3/ seeing that your army was on the North, I hoped to take your Throne undefended and sent one reserve stack there. I managed to take the Throne but you came back soon and my last stack was dead. I should not have gone there without the support of Cherub for intel (you had killed the one I sent just before I attacked if I remember correctly).

At that point, I had almost my 8th Goblin city but no army left and my leader was in the void... Then you started attacking North with scouts... then South...

Well... I was my own undoing. :'(

My Throne city was like 3 turns from where you were, with no defender. So I surrendered. Congratz Fistandantilus! It was a nice 1st ladder game for me!
I let you report it.

Well, it's up to you I think, I don't even know where your capitol is so it will definitely take awhile before the final confrontation

I read only now about AlX. I captured his throne city the turn after he surrendered, and sent his leader in the void the turn before so I think it didn't matter much, he didn't have but a couple of units left at that point.

As a matter of fact the war between the Tigrans and Frostlings was an emotional rollercoaster for the better of 30 turns. I initially lost my throne city but fought back and captured an undead town, then comes Undead Plague which crippled my growth so much... Was lots of fun, I'm kinda sad it ended, kudos to AlX for a well fought game.

I think it's done now. I had still a (very very small) chance as long as my leader and group was alive, but I didn't see the stack from the East coming, so now I can surrender I guess.

We're 2 left: Fistandantilus and I.

AlX, you surrendered.... so it also breaks the "no quitter" rule. I think you knew it as I posted here about that, regarding Hannibal's surrender, so that's not nice from you. Consider yourself warned: games should be played until you are defeated.

Eheh, you're welcome, my pleasure!

By the way, Hannibal2000, in theory you should not have surrendered. Players are supposed to stay until the end of the match and their defeat. That's the "no quitter" rule here.
I discussed it with Markymark who said ", the players have to decide if someone is a quitter, hannibal play slow in some pbems (maybe he shall get a warning)". I think for the "slow", he was referring to the time where you were away (he was probably not aware).


Anyway, try to avoid surrendering in the future maybe?

Thank you guys for helping me not miss my turn! 

We significantly reduced the number of survivors in 2 turns! Good luck to the remaining players!

Sorry Hannibal, I hope the turn you missed was not a big handicap, but given what I know, I think things would have been difficult for you anyway.

EDIT: edited an information, should post it later when it has no way to influence the game

rrrookie said "I will be out of town without internet access from 6:00 Thursday, August 27 through 3:00 PM Sunday, August 30 [US central time]. If we could keep the turns at 3 or 7 days that would be greatly appreciated."

So I'll keep the turn timer until the end of August.

By the way, sorry Hannibal that you had to miss your turn but I think 7 days is the maximum we can accept if we want to finish the game before 2017.

Hannibal warned he would be away on August 18-27, so I'm afraid he'll miss his current turn.
Then we should soon be back to normal and I'll set the turn timer to 1 day again.

Hi everyone!

Sorry, AoW3 crashed just after launching my turn so I had to restart the turn. I missed the screenshot of the error message.
Rookie, I guess actually you did do your turn in your laptop but it wasn't uploaded correctly because it's written you reloaded the turns too.

I hope it won't happen again for both of us.

So, we've got 3 turns restarted so far:
- 1 by Hannibal
- 1 by rookie
- 1 by Hiliadan

I'm on vacation and I'll get back fully operative on the 17th.

Hopefully I'll be able to play a turn or two while on the road.. otherwise, may the mighty AIXStormrage spare me

I've just increased the turn timer to 7 days. I'll see if I increase it further but I think 7 days could be a maximum, even if some people miss their turn, otherwise the game will be slowed too much.

It will stay to 7 days until 27 August (see posts below).

Ok Hannibal... Next time, please try to get some kind of evidence (e.g. photo of your laptop crashed).

Yes, the game is going relatively fast, that's nice!

I did turn 11 6 hours ago before I left for work and it is already back to me for turn 12!  Wow! : )

Sorry for the restart, my laptop crashed.

Fistandantilus has issues to post a gaming blog right now, hopefully it will be solved soon. So what he said:
"Anyway, I'm on vacation from the 8th to the 16th of August included."

So I'll increase the turn timer to 7 days from next week on.

By the way, RIP Gilafron! :o I won't make more comments now because it would give indications to everyone (please do the same) but it will be interesting to comment that at the end of the game.

Ok I'm extending the turn timer to 4 days.

Next time is August 18-27 where it will be 7 days (sorry but you will need to miss at least 1 turn).
Fistandantilus, when are you away?

Test

I will be away from Friday till Monday this weekend and from August 18-27.

Hello everyone!

Just to check if one of you had planned to be away for some days so that I can extend the turn timer for that period? Fistandantilus especially, when will you be away in August, I'm not sure you said the exact date.

Hiliadan

Was able to play it after the revert, thanks!

Issue was when I tried to open the turn it simply didn't finish the download part and popped me back to the main manu with a 'download failed' message.

I didn't think about taking a screenshot, I'll make sure to do it if this happens again (hopefully it won't). Sorry for the delay.

Hi everybody!

Fistandantilus reported me he had an issue to download the latest turn and asked if I can revert it. He said he tried several times to load it, on 2 different PCs.

So I'm going to revert the turn and replay mine. I hope it can solve the issue.
Fistandantilus, it would be great if you could get a printscreen and post it here to show us the issue. Same applies for similar problem for anyone in the future.

Hiliadan
(posted on the game "gaming blog", so please answer there rather than by PM)

Hi all!

AlxStormRage, unfortunately, we already did a full turn so we cannot revert to your turn 1. Sorry about that (but that would not have happened if you had paid attention to v1.602 in the first place).

I extend the turn timer to 3 days because Fistandantilus is away until Sunday, as announced earlier. That way, he will be able to play his turn.

If you know you won't be available at some point, please say it in advance so that we can see how we deal with it.

Hiliadan

Ok I just got my answer, Hannibal completed his turn just after I posted. So we'll see how we deal with AIXStormRage later.

Anyway, it looks like reverting one turn + waiting for turn timer to expire works with the "beta" issue.

(published on the "gaming blog" of PBEM 5)

Hannibal2000, are you able to play your turn now? Or should I revert to the turn of Fistandantilus as he suggested so that AIXStormRage can replay entirely his turn with v1.602?

We do not have any answer from AIXStormRage to confirm he played with the beta and can / want to use the v1.602... But at the same time, noone said he was interested to replace players from PBEM 5, so a restart without AIXStormRage does not look like a good option either.

I reverted the turn to AIXStormrage and send him a PM through the in-game message system. We'll see what he says / does.

Regarding the point (extension of turn timer for exceptional case during the Summer) I mentioned in my PM, I would like to get your feedback.

3-normal match

I think DiaEmperador couldn't use his potential in teh match and Longinus was very unlucky. I had one risky decision in this game, when I decided to push further, pslit my forces and clear a wizard tower. that was my biggets mistake, as Ezekiel crushed my vulnerable weakened stack(s). besidest hat..,.nice game (:

Written: 2019-07-06 15:00:02

A game that went like a dream for us, especially for me. I was planning to befriend as much indies as possible and go for a nice halfling boom that would enable me to be economically strong and support my teammates. And it went wonderfully, pretty quickly I could vassalize a Frostling City and the Naga dwelling in the center of the map. But it turned out that I was not the only one booming, AiX starting as Goblin underground was even faster than me and had even more cities up and running quickly. Our opponents weren't playing aggressive and so we were in a splendid position for midgame. At one point (don't quite remember the exact turn) Zytozid and me were clearing around a giant dwelling a bit south of the central map and decided to start pushing as we both had two rather strong stacks there, we weren't staying very close together as we approached enemy territory (so that we both had enough nice spots for clearing) but when Zytos main stack went underground it got taken out by an ambush of what was probably Ezekiels defenders stack. But this was far enough away and I had a fast swimming stack anyway and also I wasn't sure if they had spotted me yet so i kept pushing. I found a really nice direct way directly towards Longinus capital and took the opportunity to take it out with my fast leader-stack. I think it was the next turn when Longinus made a suicide attack with his leader on his burning capital. but he lost and was out of the game.
From there on it was 2v3 and that is never good. AiX also build a beacon of unity meaning that our opponents were fighting even more an uphill battle.
Dia Emperador was very careful and I have to say played it pretty well all things considered. He was in the north of the map on the surface and I had just taken Longinus capital in his back while he was going for a push towards the middle of the map and possibly my Naga dwelling(?). So he left strong stacks at his two main cities to defend and went forward with his leader stack. Unfortunately for him we had map control in that area and rather good intel on where he was and how he moved and I could move a strong necro stack around his main army that also could visit a shrine of rejuvination and that proved too much for his defensive forces at home, also AiX had snuck a 6er stack assassins there that DiaEmperador couldn't know about and when he came back to take his city with his leaderstack AiXs and my combined forces just outnumbered and overwhelmed him.
His capital was untouched yet but there was no hope of holding it. In the meantime however Ezekiel had appeared in the underground in the south, close to the beacon of unity and putting on quite a lot of pressure on AiX underground empire and naturally also to the capitals of Zyto and me who where close by. But he wasn't fast enough. My leaderstack and the slower accompanying army had taken all of Longinus old empire and I had split them because I knew Ezekiel had a very strong defense but I thought attacking from two sides might be too much. So my slower army (~9 units, mostly T2 animals + druids, apprentice and Naga) was moving to a cave entrance in the south, where I also had a hunter hiding and waiting in the Underground near an Inn while me leaderstack was moving to a cave entrance in the very norheast of the map, my hope was that Ezekiel might not even bothered to scout there and wasn't aware of that, or that he'd hope I wasn't aware of that. But he very well was and when my Leaderstack entered I saw that he was lying in wait with a very strong defense of about 16 units that were ready to pounce on me should I dare enter. That was too dangerous for me and I decided to just stay on the cave entrance above ground. If he would stay there my other stack reinforced by the units form the Inn would hopefully be enough to kill whatever units weren't in a stand-off with my leader in the north.
I don't know if Ezekiel was aware of that or if he just hoped to kill the main danger close to his home so he could focus more on his attack, but he attacked into my stack on the cave entrance stack by stack and lost all of them.


Then he and Longinus surrendered.
Good game everyone I was unreasonable lucky, this game went really close to perfect for me. I just wish I could say the same for the actual tournament match...
Thanks for the game everyone!
Attached are the maps showing AiX and my sprawl under and above ground. I was too stupid again and clicked the wrong buttons so I have no idea how the actual score looked.

I tried, hopefully I didn't make to much of a mess... check out if I made any mistakes.

Hi there! SleepingDog sent us the scores and we confirm the victory of Bastards of the North.
Sorry that it had to be won by score. Please hurry up to prepare for round 3 to avoid that in your next game.

Please also edit the report with the actual class/race.

Written on 2019-04-05 08:39:43

@SleepingDog, dude seriously? You and Personian are the ones to build the forts all across the map to increase domain and now you're blaming me and Eskild for going for multiple cities?

I have not seen the overall score, but I did see your (and Personian's ) armies marching towards us and dare to say, that the forces he and I have are no less than the ones you had  So I believe military scores should be close.

Written on 2019-04-04 16:29:11

@Ezekiel 
The scores are taken after you surrendered, which doesn't matter since you don't lose points when you giving up.

But why you where curious about the scores? We have expanding vs no expanding, not a surprise that you win by score.

Hi! SleepingDog, it's apparently your turn and personian quitted without sending us the scores (same for Ezekiel). Could you please follow the process as I sent in the chat and send the scores to the judges by private message WITHOUT leaving the game? (when I say "quit", I mean "save & quit")

Thanks!

Written on 2019-04-03 20:01:27

I just got the turn handed to me and surrendered as Personian left and I was curious about the scores - so I hope the screenshots of the scores have already been taken.



Seemed like a definite score victory for my team. No major battles player vs player in the game whatsoever.

I think it's done now. I had still a (very very small) chance as long as my leader and group was alive, but I didn't see the stack from the East coming, so now I can surrender I guess.

We're 2 left: Fistandantilus and I.

AlX, you surrendered.... so it also breaks the "no quitter" rule. I think you knew it as I posted here about that, regarding Hannibal's surrender, so that's not nice from you. Consider yourself warned: games should be played until you are defeated.

Eheh, you're welcome, my pleasure!

By the way, Hannibal2000, in theory you should not have surrendered. Players are supposed to stay until the end of the match and their defeat. That's the "no quitter" rule here.
I discussed it with Markymark who said ", the players have to decide if someone is a quitter, hannibal play slow in some pbems (maybe he shall get a warning)". I think for the "slow", he was referring to the time where you were away (he was probably not aware).


Anyway, try to avoid surrendering in the future maybe?

Thank you guys for helping me not miss my turn! 

We significantly reduced the number of survivors in 2 turns! Good luck to the remaining players!

Sorry Hannibal, I hope the turn you missed was not a big handicap, but given what I know, I think things would have been difficult for you anyway.

EDIT: edited an information, should post it later when it has no way to influence the game

rrrookie said "I will be out of town without internet access from 6:00 Thursday, August 27 through 3:00 PM Sunday, August 30 [US central time]. If we could keep the turns at 3 or 7 days that would be greatly appreciated."

So I'll keep the turn timer until the end of August.

By the way, sorry Hannibal that you had to miss your turn but I think 7 days is the maximum we can accept if we want to finish the game before 2017.

Hannibal warned he would be away on August 18-27, so I'm afraid he'll miss his current turn.
Then we should soon be back to normal and I'll set the turn timer to 1 day again.

Hi everyone!

Sorry, AoW3 crashed just after launching my turn so I had to restart the turn. I missed the screenshot of the error message.
Rookie, I guess actually you did do your turn in your laptop but it wasn't uploaded correctly because it's written you reloaded the turns too.

I hope it won't happen again for both of us.

So, we've got 3 turns restarted so far:
- 1 by Hannibal
- 1 by rookie
- 1 by Hiliadan

I'm on vacation and I'll get back fully operative on the 17th.

Hopefully I'll be able to play a turn or two while on the road.. otherwise, may the mighty AIXStormrage spare me

I've just increased the turn timer to 7 days. I'll see if I increase it further but I think 7 days could be a maximum, even if some people miss their turn, otherwise the game will be slowed too much.

It will stay to 7 days until 27 August (see posts below).

Ok Hannibal... Next time, please try to get some kind of evidence (e.g. photo of your laptop crashed).

Yes, the game is going relatively fast, that's nice!

I did turn 11 6 hours ago before I left for work and it is already back to me for turn 12!  Wow! : )

Sorry for the restart, my laptop crashed.

Fistandantilus has issues to post a gaming blog right now, hopefully it will be solved soon. So what he said:
"Anyway, I'm on vacation from the 8th to the 16th of August included."

So I'll increase the turn timer to 7 days from next week on.

By the way, RIP Gilafron! :o I won't make more comments now because it would give indications to everyone (please do the same) but it will be interesting to comment that at the end of the game.

Ok I'm extending the turn timer to 4 days.

Next time is August 18-27 where it will be 7 days (sorry but you will need to miss at least 1 turn).
Fistandantilus, when are you away?

Test

I will be away from Friday till Monday this weekend and from August 18-27.

Hello everyone!

Just to check if one of you had planned to be away for some days so that I can extend the turn timer for that period? Fistandantilus especially, when will you be away in August, I'm not sure you said the exact date.

Hiliadan

Was able to play it after the revert, thanks!

Issue was when I tried to open the turn it simply didn't finish the download part and popped me back to the main manu with a 'download failed' message.

I didn't think about taking a screenshot, I'll make sure to do it if this happens again (hopefully it won't). Sorry for the delay.

Hi everybody!

Fistandantilus reported me he had an issue to download the latest turn and asked if I can revert it. He said he tried several times to load it, on 2 different PCs.

So I'm going to revert the turn and replay mine. I hope it can solve the issue.
Fistandantilus, it would be great if you could get a printscreen and post it here to show us the issue. Same applies for similar problem for anyone in the future.

Hi all!

AlxStormRage, unfortunately, we already did a full turn so we cannot revert to your turn 1. Sorry about that (but that would not have happened if you had paid attention to v1.602 in the first place).

I extend the turn timer to 3 days because Fistandantilus is away until Sunday, as announced earlier. That way, he will be able to play his turn.

If you know you won't be available at some point, please say it in advance so that we can see how we deal with it.

Hiliadan

Ok I just got my answer, Hannibal completed his turn just after I posted. So we'll see how we deal with AIXStormRage later.

Anyway, it looks like reverting one turn + waiting for turn timer to expire works with the "beta" issue.

(published on the "gaming blog" of PBEM 5)

Hannibal2000, are you able to play your turn now? Or should I revert to the turn of Fistandantilus as he suggested so that AIXStormRage can replay entirely his turn with v1.602?

We do not have any answer from AIXStormRage to confirm he played with the beta and can / want to use the v1.602... But at the same time, noone said he was interested to replace players from PBEM 5, so a restart without AIXStormRage does not look like a good option either.

This epic game came to an end in turn 96!

As I said, Jean and me decided to meet at neutral ground and do the fight, here is the video of the 2 fights. Highlight of the fight must be my leader soloing 3 Dreadreaprs before he went down to 6hp and fled the battle.

I think after i successfully managed to take Eskilds northern cities as well as Fist's cities, it was only going to be 1 outcome. I could then convert all the cities to Dwarfs and finish the monoculture, get cheerful cities and very good mana, research and cp.



I had a very good staring position, bottom left corner in the under ground. Surrounded by lava and mountains so hard to attack, even though Eskild came relativly close before he aborted his mission. By the way, it was a good battle with Eskild mid game when he was super strong after taking all Tussels cities.



Thanks for the game everyone, was nice to experience truly end game battles and spells!
Here is some screens of the scores for those interested:

"I let you report it"

I tried, hopefully I didn't make to much of a mess... check out if I made any mistakes.

Was a great game, hopefully we'll be playing again together!
Thanks everyone for the fun.

@Fist Mate, tigrans should be forbidden to be so mobile
I was forced to defend at all times, due to the lack of vision  couldn't spare some units to clean the camps on the other side of the Throne City  anyways, well played and congrats I guess

@Hilliadan, yeah, that clash crippled me too  it took all my chances of holding against Fist

I made 3 big mistakes in that game, that changed the balance of power, as you can see in the stats...  I was way ahead all of you but in like 3 turns, I lost everything.

1/ after I killed rrrookie, I didn't see you had taken his city West of the underground exit. So I started to go West... then I realized the mistake and backed up but had not enough move points. The turn after, my 3 stacks were dead....

2/ I tried to attack AlX with my main army (my leader, with Elite units, including 2 regrowth Troll) but I failed to think he was on artic and may have concealed units. From a "very likely victory" (in my mind), it went into a big loss. So my two main armies were dead...

3/ seeing that your army was on the North, I hoped to take your Throne undefended and sent one reserve stack there. I managed to take the Throne but you came back soon and my last stack was dead. I should not have gone there without the support of Cherub for intel (you had killed the one I sent just before I attacked if I remember correctly).

At that point, I had almost my 8th Goblin city but no army left and my leader was in the void... Then you started attacking North with scouts... then South...

Well... I was my own undoing. :'(

My Throne city was like 3 turns from where you were, with no defender. So I surrendered. Congratz Fistandantilus! It was a nice 1st ladder game for me!
I let you report it.

Well, it's up to you I think, I don't even know where your capitol is so it will definitely take awhile before the final confrontation

I read only now about AlX. I captured his throne city the turn after he surrendered, and sent his leader in the void the turn before so I think it didn't matter much, he didn't have but a couple of units left at that point.

As a matter of fact the war between the Tigrans and Frostlings was an emotional rollercoaster for the better of 30 turns. I initially lost my throne city but fought back and captured an undead town, then comes Undead Plague which crippled my growth so much... Was lots of fun, I'm kinda sad it ended, kudos to AlX for a well fought game.

I think it's done now. I had still a (very very small) chance as long as my leader and group was alive, but I didn't see the stack from the East coming, so now I can surrender I guess.

I reverted the turn to AIXStormrage and send him a PM through the in-game message system. We'll see what he says / does.

Regarding the point (extension of turn timer for exceptional case during the Summer) I mentioned in my PM, I would like to get your feedback.
