I changed Öarp to Oarp in all names and filepaths (and nothing else, I swear!), should work for everybody now.

Holy shit, it works!

Thanks, man No homo.

I'll pick a nation in about 5 hours or so.

Found my new love.

Raqris - Saga of the Marble Book

 

[mondblut]

I suppose everyone should update the mod to the version I have uploaded then.

 

[Infinitum]

Let's. Also maybe we should just pass Muty for now and let coldcrow pick his centaurs? Pretty sure I've decided on a nation but i'll wait my turn.

 

[Grimwulf]

mondblut - 20
Dayyālu - 14 -14
Isiloon - 14 - 12
Muty - 14 - 3
coldcrow - 12 -7
Infinitum - 12 -5
Grimwulf - 11
Grif - 9

Second numbers were tiebreakers? Derp. Oh, well. Waiting for my turn then.

Also, I will literally kill anyone picking Raqris.

 

[Muty]

I'll pick when I get home from work so in a few hours

Or maybe we shouldn't. Whatever, you can pass me for the game if this is going to be your attitude. Next time don't project and assume that everyone here is a worthless neet that can respond the second when the nations are posted. Derp.

 

[Muty]

OK browsed through the thread but I can't figure out who picked what so I'll go with Raqris.

comrade pliz

don't

(I understand work-related problems, lemme say that Decline20 and its hilarious shenanigans are the result of an ... interesting work schedule they dumped on me, pick your time and don't get angry for random comments, pliz)

Oh thank God

Also, I will literally kill anyone picking Raqris.

OH FUCK RUN



How I imagine the last, dreary seconds of Comrade Muty

(Airdropping a tank is hilarious)

 

[Muty]

Yeah ignore previous post , I was a bit stressed at work and got pissed that infi posted that exactly when I was writing my first response that I'll check it after work.

But yeah anyway got back home yesterday and I seriously didn't have time to open the dex to check if the game started, because I was too busy passing out from driving the whole day.

 

[Grimwulf]

I'll go with Raqris.

 

[Muty]

I'll go with Raqris.

ffs do you expect me to waddle through the whole thread to find who's calling dibs on what...
I just saw your post, anyway I'm willing to reconsider my choice. Lets see if I can find something else.

 

[Grimwulf]

It wasn't my turn to pick, so you can keep yer Raqris. Fair is fair.

Spoiler

I'm gonna kill you nonetheless

I seriously missed your big bolded post about it. Anyways I guess Zris also looks nice...

Sidhes riding panthers! Sidhes riding great bears! Sidhes riding giant spiders! Sidhes riding lizards! Sidhes riding wyverns! Sidhes riding ur mom! If the sidhes of Comhich see something, they ride it!

I run a small test game, teh funny happened. I prophetized a wyvern-riding scout, shortly after he got killed, leaving wyvern in his stead. A prophet wyvern. The dumb lizard knew no holy magic to cast, but it was sacred, permablessed and had the prophet tag (and I couldn't appoint another prophet ofc). It could also lead a sizable army, unlike the prophet who rode her.

I can just picture the sidhes riding everything trying to fathom the ayats from the shapes of their holy prophet's excrements. Or maybe the signs from thee Lord were deduced by the wyvern's choice between feeding bowls, like modern peoples are prone to?

(I really, really wish for special sacred elite troops of sidhes riding sidhes!)

 

[Grimwulf]

Muty picked Zris.

coldcrow expressed his wish to take Rithki earlier.

It's your turn, Infinitum. Keep your hands away from Raqris, or face the wrath of slav!

 

[Isiloon]

I'd like to decide what Map we are playing - this will affect what pretender design I go for....

How about good ol' Valanis.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT - I'm going to swap to Caessedigh, i can't make Qurgya fucking work... and some of their bonuses like awe on a shitty old man, recall pretender bonus... is 'points' not spent into something more useful..

having guys who can cast eternal pyre out of the box is great, but i dont really understand how to play them basically.

 

[Grimwulf]

Raqris turned out to be flawed.



There is no use for those majestic troops when you don't have leaders capable of forming a line / double line. I'll pick sumthin' else when my time comes.

Spoiler

But I still gonna find and murder rape anyone picking Raqris.

 

[Isiloon]

I heard coldcrow picked Raqris - and he cast Astral gayness!!

If we dont put a stop to his menace he will gayficationify everyone....

EDIT - I'm sorry, I know the game hasn't even started... i just can't help but write propaganda well written stories.

 

[coldcrow]

Rithki is just lacking priestly powers to be truly stronk. I'll take them anyways.

 

[Infinitum]

I'm gonna do some last minute angsting about my choice; gimme a few hours to test.

Hawt.

Albert of Aachen,Historia Hierosolymitanae Expeditionis (legit one of my favourite authors on the First Crusade)

CAP. XXXI. - De superstitione anseris et capellae.

Fuit et aliud scelus detestabile in hac congregatione pedestris populi stulti et vesanae levitatis, quod Domino odibile et omnibus fidelibus, incredibile non dubitatur. Anserem quemdam divino Spiritu asserebant afflatum, et capellam non minus eodem repletam, et has sibi duces hujus secundae viae fecerant in Jerusalem, quas et nimium venerabantur, ac bestiali more his intendebant ex tota animi intentione. Quod absit a fidelibus cordibus, ut Dominus Jesus a brutis animalibus et insensatis sepulcrum sui sanctissimi corporis visitari velit, et haec fieri duces Christianarum animarum, quas pretio sanguinis sui ab idolorum spurcitiis revocatas redimere dignatus est, cum coelos ascensurus duces et rectores populi sui sanctissimos et Deo dignos praesules et abbates praeordinaverit, non bruta insensata animalia! Sed quid mirum, si modernis temporibus hujusmodi abominationes, et tam foeda scelera, inter aliquas societates tot millium inventa sunt, quae Dominus in caput eorum reddiderit, cum temporibus Moysi et Josue et caeterorum servorum Domini in medio justorum inventa sit iniquitas, et ab eo, qui est Dominus ultionum, virga suae majestatis correpta et purificata?

Ahh, yes. Translation.

[Infinitum]

OK THEN: My flame for Zris faltered - nothing but old mages and kind of eh troops except for the daemonkin does that. Raqris is likely better, but I'm still aprehensive what with water mages and people likely dumping cold scales. Wanted Caecnia so bad due to the all women meme and that fantastic cap-only mage (and decent evocation mages); but so-so troops backed by evocation looks losing in a game where the best nations all fly. Shela looks kind of doable with big earth and death communions (and that neverending skeletons crosspath), and the flail troop looks surprisingly decent for pale ones, but it's still one-note, earth meld doesn't hit flyers early on and fucking cold-blooded. Shenel has Bear Cavalry and Sacred Avvite Werewolves, but awful mages and despite tooltips none of the priests actually have reanimator from what I can tell.

Everything else seems shit, bar one:

CEASSIDIGH - SINOPLE BURROW

May the world tremble before their arrival.
