Congratz Gab!
Please report the game "Report game" link here. Don't forget to flag Bracasse as a quitter.
I'll comment a bit later (on the report probably), pretty busy recently.

Congratulations to gabthegab!

Victory  thank you for the game Hiliadan you can comment

Got killed too.
Well done defeater!

Got killed!
Good luck to the survivors! I'll comment when it's over.

ok, these things happen. no sweat. 

The upload failed and then I opened the game again to re-upload and it gave me the "ironman reloading" warning (first time it happens to me... usually when the upload fails, which happen very often to me due to VPN issue in China, it never displays the ironman message)... So I had to reload.
I have a screenshot of my turn start with "End of turn" ready to be clicked, if needed.

Counter of restarts (if I didn't miss any):
- Hiliadan: 1

EDIT : v1.703 released, we can switch to it, even though it's  a bit late to nerf some of our player here who already completed an EQ ()

The problem is player near Bracasse have now free city free exp and free item

Bracasse, we've been without news from you for about 5 days. It's good that you eventually explain and apologize for that but I think it will be hard for you to play competitive PBEM if you cannot connect at least once every 48 hours.
For this game, I'm sorry but we have to consider you as a quitter and report you to other players in the site.

As I said, I don't want to restart. I think restart should be considered only in extreme cases (like what happened in the "Tournament training" game with Markymark getting defeated on turn 1, which is really not fun.
Gab did not state any preference. If he wants to restart, then at 3 vs 1, I'll accept, but otherwise, let's just continue please. As I said, I don't think anyone will get a big advantage at this point. By the way, it's not "free cities" or "free items" as there is an AI to protect them.

Hillidan you chose

Salut à tous.

Je vois que vous êtes plutôt mécontent, ce que je comprends.

Je suis vraiment désolé de vous avoir fait attendre, mais j'ai eu des soucis de connexion et je suis vraiment incapable de tenir la cadence de 1 tour par 24h.
Je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui abandonne une chose qu'il a commencée, lorsque je me suis engagé et surtout lorsque d'autres dépendent de moi, mais là... désolé.

J'attends donc votre avis sur ce que je dois faire et je le fais.

Encore désolé, j'espère que vous ne m'en voudrez pas trop.

A bientôt, j'espère.



Hi everybody.

I see you are quite unhappy , as I understand it .

I'm really sorry to keep you waiting , but I had connection problems and I am really unable to hold the rate of one revolution per 24 hours.
I'm not someone who gives up something he started when I committed myself and especially when others depend on me , but there ... sorry .


I await your opinion on what I should do and I do it.

Sorry again , I hope you do not mind too much.

See you soon, I hope.

Gab, do you want to restart? I don't.
9 turns it's at least 9 days, and next week, as I said, I will be on holiday so may play much more slowly.

A Vote! Yeah! restart for me please!

I doubt it would take two weeks to reach turn 9 if we restart.
The remaining players have played quickly.

I prefer a restart, then we get rid of any unfair advantage/disadvantage
from the AI taking over for Bracasse.

I will continue to play this game, but I think more are in favor
of a restart than not.

The problem is player near Bracasse have now free city free exp and free item

ok, so be it.

I'm not in favour of restarting. We're turn 9, it already took us more than 2 weeks to get there. I'm going to kick him out and he will be replaced by an AI.
We will have opportunities to play other games with no quitter later, but first let's finish this game as it is. It would of course have been better if he stayed but I think it is manageable for everyone to win, even with this.

since bracasse seems to be gone for good let´s restart the game.

Like i have say, for me the best if Bracasse quit this game is : nobody attack Bracasse he surrender after raze all city, but we can do like you want

I just requested the same thing. But even if they´d implement it, it won´t help us with our running game, I guess. ;-)

Does any know if Triumph has "allow someone to take over for
a player in PBEM" on their list of things to do?  I have requested
this in a couple emails to them, but have never gotten a response.

This is how I got started with AOW.  I subbed in a few games of
AOWSM PBEM.

Razing cities has issues also, as does letting the AI play.

Taking away targets (razing cities) is as bad as making targets
easier (letting AI take over).  Either decision will effect someone
negatively.

Since we are not so far in, I would vote for starting over with 4.
Or, if we want 5 players, finding a reliable 5th and start over.

@bracasse: thanx for nothing!
@all: the rest of us seem to be reliable. starting all over again would be an option.

The issue is that he doesn't seem to be playing at all any more... I'm ok to wait so that he razes his stuff but I'm afraid he won't do it.

Like i have say, for me the best if Bracasse quit this game is : nobody attack Bracasse he surrender after raze all city, but we can do like you want

I'm waiting for the opinion of Gab (and potentially Bracasse himself).

Also to inform you that I will be away on holiday for 1 week starting Saturday, so I think I will move the turn timer to 2 days or even longer during that period.

Replacing Bracasse with AI is good with me also.

replacing him with the AI is fine with me.

So.. what should we do with Bracasse?
I suggest kicking him as it's probably better than an AI plays instead of no-one. What do you think?

Yes, that's probably the best solution Gab.

So see what is best Bracasse. Either you raze everything then surrender, or you stay but be sure to be able to play every 24 hours most of the time, and when not, warn in advance (but it must be exceptional).

If Bracasse leave the best is : no body attack him and he raze all city before surrender.

@hiliadan: I don´t know exactly what bracasse wants. But if he wanna leave the game, let him go. If it´s technically possible.

It would be better if you wrote English so that everyone can read...

There is no way that someone replaces you. The best would have been for you  to warn us that you could not connect this week end, so that I extend the turn timer.
However, yes I think it will be an issue if you cannot connect once every 24 hours to play your turn during week ends. Leaving an ongoing game is considered as being a "quitter", which is prohibited by this site. I'm really bothered because I clearly stated in the settings of the game that it was a 1 day turn timer game... You should have read carefully! Now, you just penalize everyone.

Voilà...

C'est ce que je pensais. Je n'ai pas pu me connecter ce week end et j'ai donc loupé mon tour.

Je pense donc ne pas pouvoir tenir cette cadence de jeu. Je serai pénaliser un tour sur deux...
Il serait préférable que je me retire de suite pour permettre à quelqu'un de prendre ma place... que dois-je faire pour cela ?

Par contre, je vais peut être bien entamer une nouvelle partie en tant qu'hebergeur à une cadence plus lente.

Ok.
Merci.
Justement, je crains de ne pouvoir atteindre mon ordinateur avant demain matin...
Là, je suis sur la route avec mon téléphone portable. Je rentre tard ce soir. Je n'aurai probablement pas accès au jeu aujourd'hui.
J'avoue ne pas avoir vu le délai de la partie (quoiqu'il m'avait semblé voir 4 jours...). Je ferai ce que je pourrais,  car je suis motivé et que J'ADORE ce jeu, pour suivre autant que je peu le délai,  mais ça va être dur.
Ce serait dommage que je prenne trop de retard sur les autres pour ça.
Bon. On verra. 

Il n'y a pas de diplo dans cette partie.

Bracasse is asking to move the turn timer to 2 days permanently. I'm afraid we cannot do that. I stated in the settings of the game that's 1 day turn timer. Moving to 2 days may significantly increase the time needed to complete this game, which I don't want.
We can extend the timer when needed, for instance if you're on holiday, business trip or whatever, but it needs to remain exceptional. So please ask here when you need to extend the timer but I think we should stick to 1 day most of the time.

Three french !!!

Super pour la diplo !

Sinon... 1 jour pour le toure semble un peu hard à respecter... y aurait-il un moyen de mettre à deux jours ? Sinon, je crains de louper assez souvent mon tour...

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.

J'avoue ne pas avoir vu le délai de la partie (quoiqu'il m'avait semblé voir 4 jours...). Je ferai ce que je pourrais,  car je suis motivé et que J'ADORE ce jeu, pour suivre autant que je peu le délai,  mais ça va être dur.
Ce serait dommage que je prenne trop de retard sur les autres pour ça.
Bon. On verra. 

Il n'y a pas de diplo dans cette partie.

Bracasse is asking to move the turn timer to 2 days permanently. I'm afraid we cannot do that. I stated in the settings of the game that's 1 day turn timer. Moving to 2 days may significantly increase the time needed to complete this game, which I don't want.
We can extend the timer when needed, for instance if you're on holiday, business trip or whatever, but it needs to remain exceptional. So please ask here when you need to extend the timer but I think we should stick to 1 day most of the time.

Congratz Gab!
Please report the game "Report game" link here. Don't forget to flag Bracasse as a quitter.
I'll comment a bit later (on the report probably), pretty busy recently.

Congratulations to gabthegab!

Victory  thank you for the game Hiliadan you can comment

Got killed too.
Well done defeater!

Got killed!
Good luck to the survivors! I'll comment when it's over.

ok, these things happen. no sweat. 

The upload failed and then I opened the game again to re-upload and it gave me the "ironman reloading" warning (first time it happens to me... usually when the upload fails, which happen very often to me due to VPN issue in China, it never displays the ironman message)... So I had to reload.
I have a screenshot of my turn start with "End of turn" ready to be clicked, if needed.

Counter of restarts (if I didn't miss any):
- Hiliadan: 1

EDIT : v1.703 released, we can switch to it, even though it's  a bit late to nerf some of our player here who already completed an EQ ()

The problem is player near Bracasse have now free city free exp and free item

Bracasse, we've been without news from you for about 5 days. It's good that you eventually explain and apologize for that but I think it will be hard for you to play competitive PBEM if you cannot connect at least once every 48 hours.
For this game, I'm sorry but we have to consider you as a quitter and report you to other players in the site.

As I said, I don't want to restart. I think restart should be considered only in extreme cases (like what happened in the "Tournament training" game with Markymark getting defeated on turn 1, which is really not fun.
Gab did not state any preference. If he wants to restart, then at 3 vs 1, I'll accept, but otherwise, let's just continue please. As I said, I don't think anyone will get a big advantage at this point. By the way, it's not "free cities" or "free items" as there is an AI to protect them.

Salut à tous.

Je vois que vous êtes plutôt mécontent, ce que je comprends.

Je suis vraiment désolé de vous avoir fait attendre, mais j'ai eu des soucis de connexion et je suis vraiment incapable de tenir la cadence de 1 tour par 24h.
Je ne suis pas quelqu'un qui abandonne une chose qu'il a commencée, lorsque je me suis engagé et surtout lorsque d'autres dépendent de moi, mais là... désolé.

J'attends donc votre avis sur ce que je dois faire et je le fais.

Encore désolé, j'espère que vous ne m'en voudrez pas trop.

A bientôt, j'espère.



Hi everybody.

I see you are quite unhappy , as I understand it .

I'm really sorry to keep you waiting , but I had connection problems and I am really unable to hold the rate of one revolution per 24 hours.
I'm not someone who gives up something he started when I committed myself and especially when others depend on me , but there ... sorry .


I await your opinion on what I should do and I do it.

Sorry again , I hope you do not mind too much.

See you soon, I hope.

Gab, do you want to restart? I don't.
9 turns it's at least 9 days, and next week, as I said, I will be on holiday so may play much more slowly.

A Vote! Yeah! restart for me please!

I doubt it would take two weeks to reach turn 9 if we restart.
The remaining players have played quickly.

I prefer a restart, then we get rid of any unfair advantage/disadvantage
from the AI taking over for Bracasse.

I will continue to play this game, but I think more are in favor
of a restart than not.

The problem is player near Bracasse have now free city free exp and free item

ok, so be it.

I'm not in favour of restarting. We're turn 9, it already took us more than 2 weeks to get there. I'm going to kick him out and he will be replaced by an AI.
We will have opportunities to play other games with no quitter later, but first let's finish this game as it is. It would of course have been better if he stayed but I think it is manageable for everyone to win, even with this.

since bracasse seems to be gone for good let´s restart the game.

Like i have say, for me the best if Bracasse quit this game is : nobody attack Bracasse he surrender after raze all city, but we can do like you want

I just requested the same thing. But even if they´d implement it, it won´t help us with our running game, I guess. ;-)

Does any know if Triumph has "allow someone to take over for
a player in PBEM" on their list of things to do?  I have requested
this in a couple emails to them, but have never gotten a response.

This is how I got started with AOW.  I subbed in a few games of
AOWSM PBEM.

Razing cities has issues also, as does letting the AI play.

Taking away targets (razing cities) is as bad as making targets
easier (letting AI take over).  Either decision will effect someone
negatively.

Since we are not so far in, I would vote for starting over with 4.
Or, if we want 5 players, finding a reliable 5th and start over.

@bracasse: thanx for nothing!
@all: the rest of us seem to be reliable. starting all over again would be an option.

The issue is that he doesn't seem to be playing at all any more... I'm ok to wait so that he razes his stuff but I'm afraid he won't do it.

Like i have say, for me the best if Bracasse quit this game is : nobody attack Bracasse he surrender after raze all city, but we can do like you want

I'm waiting for the opinion of Gab (and potentially Bracasse himself).

Also to inform you that I will be away on holiday for 1 week starting Saturday, so I think I will move the turn timer to 2 days or even longer during that period.

Replacing Bracasse with AI is good with me also.

replacing him with the AI is fine with me.

So.. what should we do with Bracasse?
I suggest kicking him as it's probably better than an AI plays instead of no-one. What do you think?

Yes, that's probably the best solution Gab.

So see what is best Bracasse. Either you raze everything then surrender, or you stay but be sure to be able to play every 24 hours most of the time, and when not, warn in advance (but it must be exceptional).

If Bracasse leave the best is : no body attack him and he raze all city before surrender.

@hiliadan: I don´t know exactly what bracasse wants. But if he wanna leave the game, let him go. If it´s technically possible.

It would be better if you wrote English so that everyone can read...

There is no way that someone replaces you. The best would have been for you  to warn us that you could not connect this week end, so that I extend the turn timer.
However, yes I think it will be an issue if you cannot connect once every 24 hours to play your turn during week ends. Leaving an ongoing game is considered as being a "quitter", which is prohibited by this site. I'm really bothered because I clearly stated in the settings of the game that it was a 1 day turn timer game... You should have read carefully! Now, you just penalize everyone.

Voilà...

C'est ce que je pensais. Je n'ai pas pu me connecter ce week end et j'ai donc loupé mon tour.

Je pense donc ne pas pouvoir tenir cette cadence de jeu. Je serai pénaliser un tour sur deux...
Il serait préférable que je me retire de suite pour permettre à quelqu'un de prendre ma place... que dois-je faire pour cela ?

Par contre, je vais peut être bien entamer une nouvelle partie en tant qu'hebergeur à une cadence plus lente.

Ok.
Merci.
Justement, je crains de ne pouvoir atteindre mon ordinateur avant demain matin...

Super pour la diplo !

Sinon... 1 jour pour le toure semble un peu hard à respecter... y aurait-il un moyen de mettre à deux jours ? Sinon, je crains de louper assez souvent mon tour...

Thanks! Good luck all!

Regarding time zones, I'm actually in China (and work there), not in France.

nice! Ok then, bonne chance pour les francais, good luck for the us-boy and viel glück mir.

Oh sory for this misstake, i don't know how change that....

Written on 2015-10-25 18:10:15

You have olschenstein and olop reversed.  I was the orc warlord.

In turn 6 I saw a 7th level enamy hero/wizard.  Figured at that time I was in trouble.
Attaining 15th level in 15 turn was impressive.  But I do hope the game updates do
make it harder to do this kind of thing.

Also, I was the last out.  Not sure if that means I should finish in second
or if you go by the score.

Olop

Written on 2015-10-25 17:11:30

Olop was 2nd and olschenstein 3rd actually. We need to correct the report, I'm dealing with that with Markymark.

Congratz Gab!
As we can see on the screenshot from the score, I was 2nd but lagging behind you when we met... I think you did a very very good job of leveling up your leader and all your spiders. You reach level 15 and the empire quest very quickly but even before that, at level 13, you had Regrowth + Call Lightning and like 3 Elite spider queens, 1 knight, 1 griphon, 1 king serpent... The game was already over... I tried to attack your cities but your main stack was too close and get back on me very quickly. Then you did a great job of baiting me into attacking 2 isolated units to kill me the next turn.
I wanted to have some turns of respite by tacking your attention to the North, so that I can build some Nagas, with which I could have beaten you (maybe)... But it didn't work when I made that mistake and got crushed.
Very well played!
But that kind of thing should not be possible any more with v1.703 which limit XP farming. We'll see in following games how it works for you.

Also, I found out Bracasse's AI about 2-3 turns after we kicked him out: he was just above me. But I was too busy with Gab to do anything against him.
