Also congrats on taking 2nd!

Sounds like a fun game, I have a couple running a bit longer like this. I think it's great that you really got a chance to play your class. I get bored of just convert random army and smash. I crave a game like this where there is a back and forth, combined with a strategy around one's class. Nice to read, thanks for posting.

Wow! Well done Eskild! You're about to become 2nd!

325 gold per turn at end game for one city?! Wow!!!

And Theo beat Dread, again! Would you have managed it without Armagueddon?
Which turn did it end?

So here´s the final report from this grand game. Turns went on for VERY long at the turns at late game could take close to an hour to manage. The tug of war wavered - I felt like I was the one being at defence, but AlX actually told me that the situation was inverse. Just nervewrecking with that much fog of war, that you can never know where your enemy is.

I didn´t have the best start, but started nice and snug/shielded on an island in the NW of the map. Besides my close elven neighbor, I got a goblin city located in my vicinity, which I captured and absorbed within the first 15 turns. This one turned out to be a huge boon in gold production, doing mostly that for 30-40 turns (earning 325 gpt) late game after production of grand palace. I also launched onto the mainlands and captured the naga dwelling and cleared sites at these locations. At this point I had a clash with AlX over some well improved cities of Valery of Avernos´ with AlX ending winning that peninsula, which could have been an early bridgehead to his lands. The assault on cannons didn´t seem doable at that stage of the game, so I had to keep on the defensive and stay out of reach while still avoiding an invasion.

Midgame things got better, and after a roaming tour with my leader and a quite powerful archdruid hero and her evangelist I was able to capture and improve a dragon dwelling in the UG, while at the same time launching a 2 front assault on the lands of Melenis die Aufständige (?) with my leader on one side and another theocrat hero coming from the other side.

Then the game turned grim, global events triggered and I converted the frostling AD from the rise of the penguins. Gosh, she is slow, but still okay. Lastly armageddon helped my economy as it allowed simple armies to conquer the Lich Castle sites scattered all around the map.

Thanks for a good game.

Found the map - surface point of view, my capitol was Wastenoth.

Back to the Game-Opening

I report the game victory, even though AoW seems crashed right now after I pushed the wrong button (Power button........). I attach the final battle screenshot I took just before I pushed Power.

No problem.  Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Olop, sorry I had something urgent yesterday and couldn't play my turn so I de-activated the turn timer. I should play my turn today evening China time and re-activate the timer. It should not happen again.

Just check the game status.  I am surprised also
the ExNihil surrendered.

Who surrendered?  I did not.

WTF? You surrendered? I'm quite surprised...

Olop, it's ok you can play your turn on v1.7.

v1.7 is released on GoG and SeeR agreed we play on v1.7 for the rest of the tournament.

Standby for now. SeeR said on the official forum: "Not Sure , I will check tonight to see what the default version is set as for steam."

http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/end-of-summer-pbem-tournament-24-player-maximum-beer-league/page/8/

Is it ok to play with the new version, 1.7?

Thanks ExNihil. I'm quite embarassed it happened though! Hope it won't happen again (though misclicking is my constant fear when I'm playing PBEM - as I don't play live MP, otherwise I would fear it even more in live -).
I send additional screenshots to SeeR by email, to be transparent about it.

EDIT: by the way, I laughed when I received that:
"

Ok,

so after seeing the screenshot,

I confirm the reload, and I suggest that in cases of such misclicking it will be ok to reload games - players shouldn't lose games because of such stupid mistakes, they happen to everybody from time to time. 

lol
I sent you the printscreen through the MP system here, did you get it?
I cut it a lot to avoid giving you unecessary information but I can also give a bigger one to SeeR and / or to you (e.g. the wider map for you).

The missclick is pretty big, it's not an error of placement for the fight, it's like 3 hexes in the wrong direction.

You are asking for permission to reload for an optimal fight sequence to kill my forces since you misclicked and moved wrong and are now exposed and will lose units? hmmmm. Well, sure send me a print screen in steam, through dropbox and I'll try to oblige you, if nothing else just for the audacity 

I just made a missclick after moving one group of units. I was looking at one area with some units selected and then I clicked inadvertently. Now my groups are split and I will surely lose some units because of that.
I asked ExNihil by MP if I can take this back as it mainly concerns him. I'm going to send him the screenshot.

Sure, NP about the timer I'm fine with 2 days.

As for the problem - I didn't reload. It's like with turn 4 or 5 (can't recall which), I haven't actually finished my turn (in that instance I haven't even began it really!), but it for some reason considered it a reload. Since the timer did keep going down - same problem, I said f-it, and play'd it through. Hope it's no prob. 

ExNihil said to me by PM we could go back to 1 turn timer. I'm going on business trip tomorrow so I'd rather keep 2 days until next Thursday, but I think I should be able to play every day.

Also, counter of turns reloaded (+ the ones I may have missed before I started the counter at the end of August):
2 ExNihil


I'm not sure to understand what was the issue with the timer ExNihil this time. You said to me "cuz the timer kept going down." What do you mean?
Anyway, I don't think there is any issue with your reloading this time but I'd just like to understand what issue there was with the timer.

I think the current clock will be ok, maybe change it tomorrow for 2 day timer and I'll say if there it's ok to revert back to one day after that, ok?

Okay, understood. I hope my premature submission doesn't cause any problems with your system.

Hey mauvebutterfly, yep, look like you left with me alone with these 2 other killers!

Actually, the data is visible to everyone and its use is to 1/ make a match report to see who played what and 2/ generate stats that you can see there:  http://www.the-battlefield.co... />
So when the game is finished, the winner will report the classes / races for everyone and our game will be added to the overall stats.

So, I just did something incredibly stupid and eliminated myself. First time ever playing a PBEM game, so I shouldn't be too surprised I guess. (My one other game is taking over a week per turn with 8 players, so I'm not counting that one.)

I was curious about the functionality of this website though. If I mark player information above, that should only be visible to me, right? I just set myself to goblin/druid to test if it saves, but I am assuming that the purpose of the chart is for me to record information for personal use.

Also, sorry I couldn't give people a better game. Maybe next time.

Sure, the game crash was AoW3.exe crashing - I am playing in window mode and this sometimes happens for some obscure reason.

As for using the msg functions here - I'll keep that in mind next time. Also, I hosted an FFA PBEM game now if any of you guys is interesting  - but pls do mind the time slots, so if its best that non-europeans join last I guess. 

ExNihil reported he would be on business trip frop September 6 to 11 and asked for a turn timer of 2 days. So we'll do that during that period.

Also, counter of turn reloaded (I may have missed some):
1 ExNihil (@ExNihil: even if the game crashes, if you had loaded the turn once, it counts as reloading; the best is to provide a screenshot of the crash but it may not always be possible)

Thanks for all your work coordinating this Hiliadan.

As I reported on the AoW3 forums, I was unable to play from home for the past week and had to make use of PC cafes in order to play my turns. I am back home now, and estimate that my turns should be done more promptly from now on.

Given sleep schedules and the like, I doubt we will ever get more than one turn per day, but every little bit helps I guess.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to check when some of you may be away and unable to play their turns in the current 24h turn time?
If noticed in advance, I can extend the turn timer to allow you to play your turn on an exceptional basis.

By the way, it looks like we have a shitty turn order, the turns go very slowly. In my other competitive game, we do like 1 turn / day...

Hiliadan

Good luck everyone and have fun!

Sorry to see that you missed your turn ExNihil! :S But that's better on  turn 1 than later, it's a bit as if you played as a 7th player.

I'm launching the game in a few minutes!

I was asked to fill in the last slot for this game, but I see that it says NO BETA in the instructions.

I am running the beta version currently for another PBEM game I am involved in. I'm pretty sure that the versions are incompatible, so if I understand this correctly, I would like to drop out of this match.

Sorry for the complications. EDIT: Apparently opting in and out of beta is easily done, so there shouldn't be any problems with this match. I look forward to the game!

Nice. That makes sense. I had wondered why his cities were independent for so long. If you had caught me with numbers, that would have swung it probably. I was risking everything to slow you down and pull you back. I think you probably had better overall units. Outside of the units I ended it with I had a few beserkers and monster hunters, but nothing scary. Those stacks at the end were basically my entire offense. My leader stack was strong but numbers but I don't think it could handle 2 or 3 to 1. I was counting entirely on death march and scouting to get in and out. You did a better job managing the cities, especially from what I gather looking at the scoreboard at the end. I still need work to figure out these larger FFA, I was fortunate in many things in this game. It seems like there is potential for these games to have a late game shift, where things become more about empire management then who has the biggest ugliest army.

Nice Game! With the best End for CBower again. Well described. Thanks for that.

Written on 2015-12-13 23:11:10

My most stupid mistake was in not accounting for the Death Marsch (or so it seemed ), since I had seen your stack coming towards fey, so I supposed that'd be your speed if you rush me. However you managed to outmanuver me, and the river didn't help to engage you straight away  who knows how it'd turn up if I'd caught you then  and I think I rushed declaring wars on everybody, when trying to get evil allignment 

Anyways, nice game

P.S. I was actually toying with Ninjew - threw UP on 2 of his cities and then destroyed his main forces, but it was more advantageous for me to keep his cities under the spells. Ye, I'm all evil and stuff

Fun game overall.  Nice write up and well described.

Written on 2015-12-13 00:46:46

    This was a great game. I moved south originally to take on Gilfran, even took a draconian village of his. BUt while I moved south ExNihil came straight at with his full force. He took my throne. I ran home pretty sure my game was over. Meanwhile Gilfran was unable to advance on me, since olschenstein declared war on him. They were neighbors down in the south. Positions worked out that everyone more or less got a sparing partner. I got ExNihil, Olschenstein vs Gilfran, NINJEW vs AISStormage. ExNihil had the advantage on me as I did not scout well and he took me by surprise. my cities had no roads between them and plenty of wetlands which slowed me down at start. However the terrain benefited me when ExNihil. He was too slow to move to my other cities. When he finally went to take them, ExNihil falter in his movements. I was able to ambush him and pick him apart stack by stack. I sent him to the void with that decisive victory and the next turn he surrendered. 

Meanwhile Gilfran and olschenstein engaged in a bitter war. The draconian village I took got retaken by Gilfran, then lost to olschenstein, then retaken by olschenstein. I kept watch on them, at some point olschenstein took Gilfran throne and was able to raze it, but it looks as if it cost olschenstein his entire leader stack as I saw him go into the void. While they were fighting I gobbled up ExNihil fallen empire. That is where you can see my score jump.  After consolidated that I started exploring further with my leader stack and my secondary stack lead by a Necro healer. Which became important as I lucked into a bone dragon spell as a reward.

It was at this point that I ran into AIX. I am not quite sure what happened between him and NINJEW, but it looked like AIW got the better of it. He had expanded all over the opposite side of the map. My main stack moved against AIX, took a dwelling a lucking into surprising a quality clearing stack. My leader stack found his homelands, I was able to raze his throne and another city, but AIX had pulled back his troops and my leader stack was quality, but it was hopelessly outnumbered. I needed to bring in the necro stack.

As I moved the necro stack I wandered right into the middle of the Gilfran/olschenstein war. After I took a city the indies claimed from olschenstein, Gilfran took it from me. But my Necro and Bone dragons were close by. The Bone dragons took out Gilfran, with no throne his game was over. From there I barreled down on olschenstein, I took his throne, he tried to escape but indies caught him in the open. Somewhere in there NINJEW took an AIX city and then AIX caught him and ended him.

Finally I was able to link my main armies together and approach AIX homelands. We had two big 3v3 fights. One with me attacking a city, and one defending it Having high tiered units with more medals helped keep my losses small. After the big swing in units AIX surrendered.

Looking at the score is interesting, because I trailed for most of the game. I am not a good expander. AIX was clearly superior in that regard as can be shown by the scored. In the end I was just able to assemble a bigger uglier army to invade with.

Written on 2015-11-24 16:13:03

I want to thank olschenstein for sticking it out and playing this one to the end. Unfortunately we just didn't get much of a game going. Early on ExNihil left because he had a bad start. So I have marked him as a quitter for this game. AbedNego got to busy to continue. The game had sat on Abed's turn for about 10 days, I contacted him and he was apologetic. Life had come up, so we ended up losing Abed from this game. Once we got started again I think we lost belamoor from the lack of activity. Over 4 turns went by being missed by belamoor. After a good amount of time with no contact we moved forward without him. Truly a shame as he had a good presence on the map. In the end with a landscape of AI players across the map I rushed everything to the middle and gobbled up the seals. The AI was slow to react, and Olschenstein was unable to halt this progress. Olschenstein and I only meant towards the end game, and because of omen of doves we had to awkwardly wait to do battle. I played several games with olschenstein now, and he is a stand up guy, he plays quick, and will not leave you hanging.

I was curious about the functionality of this website though. If I mark player information above, that should only be visible to me, right? I just set myself to goblin/druid to test if it saves, but I am assuming that the purpose of the chart is for me to record information for personal use.

Also, sorry I couldn't give people a better game. Maybe next time.

Sure, the game crash was AoW3.exe crashing - I am playing in window mode and this sometimes happens for some obscure reason.

As for using the msg functions here - I'll keep that in mind next time. Also, I hosted an FFA PBEM game now if any of you guys is interesting  - but pls do mind the time slots, so if its best that non-europeans join last I guess. 

ExNihil reported he would be on business trip frop September 6 to 11 and asked for a turn timer of 2 days. So we'll do that during that period.

Also, counter of turn reloaded (I may have missed some):
1 ExNihil (@ExNihil: even if the game crashes, if you had loaded the turn once, it counts as reloading; the best is to provide a screenshot of the crash but it may not always be possible)

Thanks for all your work coordinating this Hiliadan.

As I reported on the AoW3 forums, I was unable to play from home for the past week and had to make use of PC cafes in order to play my turns. I am back home now, and estimate that my turns should be done more promptly from now on.

Given sleep schedules and the like, I doubt we will ever get more than one turn per day, but every little bit helps I guess.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to check when some of you may be away and unable to play their turns in the current 24h turn time?
If noticed in advance, I can extend the turn timer to allow you to play your turn on an exceptional basis.

By the way, it looks like we have a shitty turn order, the turns go very slowly. In my other competitive game, we do like 1 turn / day...

Hiliadan

Good luck everyone and have fun!

Sorry to see that you missed your turn ExNihil! :S But that's better on  turn 1 than later, it's a bit as if you played as a 7th player.

I'm launching the game in a few minutes!

I was asked to fill in the last slot for this game, but I see that it says NO BETA in the instructions.

I am running the beta version currently for another PBEM game I am involved in. I'm pretty sure that the versions are incompatible, so if I understand this correctly, I would like to drop out of this match.

Sorry for the complications. EDIT: Apparently opting in and out of beta is easily done, so there shouldn't be any problems with this match. I look forward to the game!

Gab is a monster 😁 Had had me on the defensive whole time, very nice player strategy wise. Earned win!

I don't know for sure, but judging from his early defeat, I'd say he'd met mr. Gab

anyways, I had my some trouble fighting on two fronts, when abed left. Luckily for me AI isn't as badass as Abed  so managed to submit him. All the while Gab had pressured me and had taken ExNihil's towns.
long story short - nice match, enjoyed it, although didn't win

Written on 2015-11-16 06:05:32

Congratz Gab! And congratz AlX, you have probably very well played for Gab to write that! What happened to Techno?

Back to the Game-Opening

I report the game victory, even though AoW seems crashed right now after I pushed the wrong button (Power button........). I attach the final battle screenshot I took just before I pushed Power.

No problem.  Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Olop, sorry I had something urgent yesterday and couldn't play my turn so I de-activated the turn timer. I should play my turn today evening China time and re-activate the timer. It should not happen again.

Just check the game status.  I am surprised also
the ExNihil surrendered.

Who surrendered?  I did not.

WTF? You surrendered? I'm quite surprised...

Olop, it's ok you can play your turn on v1.7.

v1.7 is released on GoG and SeeR agreed we play on v1.7 for the rest of the tournament.

Standby for now. SeeR said on the official forum: "Not Sure , I will check tonight to see what the default version is set as for steam."

http://aow.triumph.net/forums/topic/end-of-summer-pbem-tournament-24-player-maximum-beer-league/page/8/

Is it ok to play with the new version, 1.7?

Thanks ExNihil. I'm quite embarassed it happened though! Hope it won't happen again (though misclicking is my constant fear when I'm playing PBEM - as I don't play live MP, otherwise I would fear it even more in live -).
I send additional screenshots to SeeR by email, to be transparent about it.

EDIT: by the way, I laughed when I received that:
"

Ok,

so after seeing the screenshot,

I confirm the reload, and I suggest that in cases of such misclicking it will be ok to reload games - players shouldn't lose games because of such stupid mistakes, they happen to everybody from time to time. 

lol
I sent you the printscreen through the MP system here, did you get it?
I cut it a lot to avoid giving you unecessary information but I can also give a bigger one to SeeR and / or to you (e.g. the wider map for you).

The missclick is pretty big, it's not an error of placement for the fight, it's like 3 hexes in the wrong direction.

You are asking for permission to reload for an optimal fight sequence to kill my forces since you misclicked and moved wrong and are now exposed and will lose units? hmmmm. Well, sure send me a print screen in steam, through dropbox and I'll try to oblige you, if nothing else just for the audacity 

I just made a missclick after moving one group of units. I was looking at one area with some units selected and then I clicked inadvertently. Now my groups are split and I will surely lose some units because of that.
I asked ExNihil by MP if I can take this back as it mainly concerns him. I'm going to send him the screenshot.

Sure, NP about the timer I'm fine with 2 days.

As for the problem - I didn't reload. It's like with turn 4 or 5 (can't recall which), I haven't actually finished my turn (in that instance I haven't even began it really!), but it for some reason considered it a reload. Since the timer did keep going down - same problem, I said f-it, and play'd it through. Hope it's no prob. 

ExNihil said to me by PM we could go back to 1 turn timer. I'm going on business trip tomorrow so I'd rather keep 2 days until next Thursday, but I think I should be able to play every day.

Also, counter of turns reloaded (+ the ones I may have missed before I started the counter at the end of August):
2 ExNihil


I'm not sure to understand what was the issue with the timer ExNihil this time. You said to me "cuz the timer kept going down." What do you mean?
Anyway, I don't think there is any issue with your reloading this time but I'd just like to understand what issue there was with the timer.

I think the current clock will be ok, maybe change it tomorrow for 2 day timer and I'll say if there it's ok to revert back to one day after that, ok?

Okay, understood. I hope my premature submission doesn't cause any problems with your system.

Hey mauvebutterfly, yep, look like you left with me alone with these 2 other killers!

My first time playing a PBEM game, and I definitely learned a lot from all the other players. Hopefully I'll do better next time.

I was surprised goblins and necromancer were so popular.

Written on 2015-09-29 07:10:34

Yes, there was a bug with the classes / races of everyone but me. I've just corrected that manually.

Written on 2015-09-28 23:21:36

FYI, I was actually Goblin Necromancer, not Frostling Necromancer.

Written on 2015-09-28 23:19:34

Enjoyed the game.  Though an early aggressive mistake sent
my wizard to the void which slowed things way down.  Not
much action till the end when I was way behind.

The pace was much better than I expected after seeing the
timezone order.  Thanks to all the other players for their quick
pace.

Written on 2015-09-26 18:55:09

I eliminated Castenada pretty early with a stack of 2 Trolls, 1 T3, 2 T2 and my Leader, coming out of the subterraneans, razing everything and then getting in again.
Then I focused on eliminating the only other players who had started in the underground, to avoid being attacked in my domain later on. Mauvebutterfly retreated in front of my army and I took all his cities, then he got killed by independant.

At the same time, AlX was being harassed and eliminated by ExNihil.

As ExNihil was getting stronger (Monoculture), I decided to attack him and raze as much cities as possible so my secondary army attacked him at the opposite of where I assumed his main stack was (where AlX was). It worked well and I went back in the subterraneans before his main army arrived (I saw his Leader stack before his Leader got lvl 11 and invisible).

Then at some point, ExNihil made the mistake to venture close to the entry of the underground where I was lurking, I came out and killed him (he made a second bigger mistake: split his stacks so that I could take then 2 by 2 instead of 3 at the same time).

He then surrendered partly due to real life reason. Otherwise he would clearly have ended up at least 2nd and the fight would have been much longer and unsure.

Grolop was probably one of the weakest player (sorry Grolop, no offense ) but was left alone a while as Castaneda was eliminated first and was the only player next to him.
I just took very easily all his surface cities while he was attacking the cities Mauve had at the beginning.
Eventually I neared on him with many units, T4 and all and crushed him in an epic battle.
