Okay, I'll roll with it I guess -.-

 

Draft is gud, but raw's Battle Pick (tm) system could use some improvements. I've picked T'ien Ch'i at first, but lost it to thesheeep. After that I was told that I get Xibalba - bam, period. Another draft or at least some kind of choice would be nice.

 

No problem, there ain't a TNN in MA.

 

That's because your pooled choice of 6 was reduced to 2, b/c the other nations already got drafted away. There is no solution to that problem, except capping max amount of players to number_of_nations_per_age/3 (i.e. 8ish). And you actually have the choice to get a reroll, but you automatically forfeit the battle pick then.

Maybe I really should write that down somewhere.

 

I'm inexperienced enough to be happy with anything

How about something like a system where everyone picks three nations, and you get your first pick if no-one else picked it first otherwise it's randomly assigned to one of the players that has it as a first pick, then the same thing for the second picks, etc. And then a second round of picks with the leftover players and nations as needed, etc. Maybe with modifications like you automatically get your top pick that no-one else has on their list.
A hassle to implement, perhaps, but you get a solid amount of influence on what you end up with especially if you want something less popular.

 

You mean the one on small island? Didn't Berytos just claim it? Well it has to be considering there are only 3 thrones in his territory. I don't think that's the 3 pointer you're looking for.

 

IIRC there was a Titan of some sort guarding the throne that's in the upper caves. Don't have the game open so can't say the province number... But the province was called Cleve's Bunker.

I play anything. I only have experience with pangea, marignon, Ulm and little else. Ergo I don't care in wich form I will be raped, because I know that I will be...

Dammit i forgot to hit send last turn...

 

Can I ask for 12h extension? RL interferes with my autism.

 

Probalby the last issue of Speedy Bat Times due to lack of personal free time. Probably.

MS Paint sucks.

 

You did that with MSpaint??????

 

Yah. Why?

 

Because MSpaint is usually good for nothing, hence people use GIMP, PS, Paint.net or whatever to create anything.
It just means you went through additional pain and effort and get an extra brofist.

 

Paint.net is MSPaint with transparency and layers. I was quite surprised on how well it worked for me.

 

Hahahahaha I love the shrugging Hinnom "official"

 

Of course your "diplomatics attempts" or rather attempt in my case didn't go anywhere. Why would I ever pay you 1000 gold? Forgive me if I won't do the actual math but I highly doubt losses you managed to inflict would amount to that much in first place. Not to mention paying you any money sure as hell wouldn't give me any guarantee you'll actually piss off. More than anything I would count on that money financing even more raiding parties. Well it's not like it's an issue any more. By now you should be able to grasp how little effect your raids had and those troops you keep loosing aren't exactly cheap or in your current situation easy to replace, especially the commanders.

"Arco military analytics are laughable ..."
Actually considering you're talking about "one of our forts" it looks like you're describing second or third time (I kinda lost track of these) you attacked me. What Arco is talking about is this: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-turn-crimsonangel.96285/page-19#post-3714249
You attacked my expansion party in Prosperland. I still have commander with no hands from that battle. Pretty cool guy. Whatever happened to that Valkyrie though? I haven't seen her lately, did Johannes get her?

Anyway good luck with that siege, you sure could use second fort.

 

Atlantis is a neutral nation, bent on peacful development and to sell the products of its forges. However, the Atlantean Department for the Analysis of Foreign Nations has a rather peculiar picture of Helheim:



Yes, our scout web here is not as good as a while ago (other priorities, you see) but from the limited battle reports we can almost dare to say that the situation is kinda dire.

Yet, as Ulm has shown, despair can provide a great boost for the northern barbarians. We'll see....

 

Aryan supermen from TNN ignore the petty squabbles of inferior nations and bat squeaking. We endure with strength and dignity.

 

No, Johannes did not get her.

 

I now summon raw, as we had enough time for more victims.

Thanks. I'll start the drafting process tomorrow, b/c today it's late and I am tired.

 

Werent you German? Its quite early in Germany. Did you betray the fatherland?
