They are, thematically and in terms of relative power, vanquished pretender gods which you are pulling back from tartarus. There's nothing like having a few undead cyclopses, complete with magic paths, running around stomping on your enemies. The real kicker in vanilla, though, is that once you have Gift of Health up (and Mother Oak to ensure you never effectively lose it), those tartarians are practically free. 15 death gems and and a dozen turns to cure afflictions isn't much of a price to pay. If I had the astral or nature gems to spare, I would have worked to dispel the MO and GoH. As it is, I can barely afford to remote search my provinces
Dozen turns to cure them? With the chalice it's almost instant, with GoH it's a couple turns (just for everyones knowledge, since I'm still willing to help with any questions).
Though you also need to Gift of Reason them, which is another 12N or something. They get summoned, they get GoRed, and that's 2 turns for them to have afflictions taken off. If you're lucky they are ready to go at that point. Usually it's 2-3 turns after you summon them though before they are useful.
Also should point out you need a D7 mage to summon them. Now D isn't that hard to bootstrap, but it's still expensive in gems to crank out the boosters for a D3 (pretty much minimum level you can go with). Not counting hammer bonus (remember ulm doesn't get death on their smiths) it's 35D for the two death boosters, and then 105S for the two rings. So clearly, having D4 helps, or more. Generally this will only happen on your pretender, though some nations can probably get D4 on national mages, but I don't recall at the moment who they are.
Also, louist, maybe you should have dispelled the MO or GoH instead of the Well, but knocking down the well was pretty annoying
I have to admit I was expecting someone to be there clamming. Caelum and Nief can do it with a little bit of work. Sauro should be able to do it easily. But it doesn't appear anyone is (Ulm can't do it for crap unless they luck into huge W income). Maybe some is though, just waiting for a chance to start wishing every turn. Though that's another pricy one, S9? Better have your pretender set up for it
You overestimate my astral income, if you think I did the dispelling. Hell, I even have the .trn file to prove it
Just to let you guys know, who do not keep up with the official forums, llamabeast is staying with his mom for a few days, since his stepfather passed away. Until he gets back, he will not be able to get the server back up.
It says that the turn has been done, but i did not get the file ... Re-sending does not work either, same situation for you?
Yep, something is broken/stuck again.
Patience I assume will be eventually rewarded.
I have received turns for the games I am in. You might want to PM llamabeast or post a thread at the Shrapnel forums and see if he can figure out what is wrong.
I have received my turns for all games but this one
Ok, i got it
What's happening guys???
I think three of you stale ... Ulm, Neif and Abby ..
It can be due to confusion with server being down, i guess. Sorry, i could not warn you, but i checked the status on server like 2 min before turn was done ...
my turn was sent in.... so this would be a 'second' stale? oye
Well, i am sure there were three, though i am not sure who was it
Our game in particular seems to be cursed. I'm not having the same issues with missing turns, hanging turn generation, etc, in my other two games. I'm not sure what we did to offend Llama.
Just a head's up that I'll be less active here and in sending in games as I make the switch from college to university and get to grips with my more demanding schedule. I'll probably be sending turns in close to the deadline.
I got a stale, but I never got turn 54.
Oh well,I can live with it.
Though I'm kinda running low on time these days anyway, I'd look for a sub, but don't think that's so fair to the rest of you
Where are your other games hosted?
Llamaserver all.
that's sooo strange ...
we are all cursed or horror marked then, i will start to employ person bodyguards right away
wow, i never thought my most serious opponent in the game would be a mythical creature called the "llamabeast." LOL
Yeah, I never was mailed the previous turn, and we still don't have Internet at our new apartment, so I didn't think to check on it. I assumed it had hung. Oh well, I'm in the getting-mopped-up stages anyway. No biggie.
I think the previous turned was not really send - i did re-sending when the server still hung, but once it went on the only file i've got was the resent one ...
Alright...
I just have to admit it to myself, I simply don't have the time for a late game Dom3 nation right now.
Anyone want to replace me?
I can kibitz a bit, but finding the time to tackle these 2h turns is not happening, and I really can't do it piece meal because, well, I just can't do the turns that way
Sorry to hear it, Shadow. You can always cound on me to be an impartial sub for you (wink wink).
Also: I, too have now been hit with an unexplainable stale turn.
/HUMOR MOD/
New dominions3 curse:
All players have a xx.xx% chance each turn to be beast-cursed. Standard roll. Implemented first in turn sequence. Result: turn of cursed player become 'stale.' Message not implemented yet. Message will read: "The llamabeast curse strikes again!" There is no [in-game] cure for the llamabeast-curse.
/end humor mod/
I think perhaps shawod that you can ask Wonderless to play for you, he already knows the game ... Though if he is involved in other games it can be a problem...
I was not cursed by stall turn yet which i attribute to good scales i took.
I am currently in 3 games; I could not be a permanent sub for shadow.
