  Was a frustrating game for me. Went pretty much as Ezekial said, but my lack of AOWIII mechanics really did me in. Had no idea about these martyr things and the Auto battles really soured my taste for this game. Was well played by all though, and congratulations to the victors.

I must admit that cwolfy was a better player than I had originally expected (I had looked only on the first page of the rankings before the match started, which of the participants only contained Ezekiel).
Also, I'm a bit amused that I contributed to my ally's victory mostly by not getting killed (I really didn't do much else in those 40 turns)^^
If the 2-3 armies Ezekiel sent to my capital had instead been available to defend his realm, things could really have taken a different turn.
(Though I'm kind of sad that I didn't get to spectate the exciting showdown that would have followed in that case...)

Overall I really enjoyed the game, though I'm not really sure whether I deserve the ranking points I got out of it

Had fun this game, When Ezekiel took kings capitial, i was in the right place to take avantage of the situation. I was in the northwest with 5 or 6 towns and a couple vasells. 
  When i seen the dragon dwelling with only computer gaurds I had to take it.  When i seen Ezekiel loose his armies to the city of Nub Nub it seemed like a good idea to finish him off. If he had those forces at home I would of had a hard time.

Good game.

Being evil is not that hard but bears the risks of people ganging up on you. Tussell felt that in a FFA earlier on which I was involved in (in that one there was no allied victory - as I broke peace with my ally and was leading by score and in particular military power). Finally I meet nemesis one might say.

The alliance was a wise move as you can see from the allied victory of the winners of this game.

Justaking was defeated first - the indies dealt the main blows as you might recall from some discussions. I was defeated secondly and winners emerged succesfully.

The king met his demise by my most experienced hero, 1-2 evolved martyrs, wyverns and bandit camp scraps charging at him from the surface central dragon dwelling, that I had gained control of early mid game.



The troops defeating the king was unfortunately catched 5-10 turns leader after (or simultaneously with) by the frostling dreadnought which was ready to reap the fruits of a slain player by emerging from what share of the map, northeast, I now guess him to have occupied.

This frostling leader also claimed control of the middle dragon dwelling, can´t recall the exact order of those events.



I made the mistake of leaving the dwelling undefended allowing manual battle vs the AI.

Shortly after, I made a bad decision with the major battle at the dwarven dreadnoughts capitol with a very low chance to send another leader out of the game (against walls and several ranged troops). I blame on this the frustration about being one versus all, now knowing that I should and could have consolidated to have stood a greater chance towards the not so rookie-like opponents.

~5 turns later the frostling dreadnaughts armies arrived at my doorstep to sent me into the void and take my capitol.

Congratulations with the deserved win.

Yeah - good fight.

I knew it was not a wise move to attack. You had many ranged troops and spellcasters, walls for protection and I got the probable defeat calculation.

On the other hand your leader was there so winning the battle would have meant another player eliminated - and not that you are allied that would make things a lot easier for me.

First big battle I've been involved in that I did not lose for a change :-)

Ezekiel marched on my throne city with quite an intimidating army. Luckily I managed to rally my troups just in time and even though they were considerably lower in Tier and experience (and equal in numbers, and also mostly affected by Mark of the Heretic), my brave dwarves somehow managed to fight him off, thus defending the Throne of Nub nub.



Nothing is decided for now, but I get to keep playing a bit longer

    I was told that independents killed me. I didnt realize they have their own turn where they auto resolve battles....and even though it was a crazy unfair result, well, i guess it was ultimately a result of my own oversight and lack of knowledge of the PBEM monster. So we will continue it as it is.

  So just continue your turns as usual. I will hang in there and try my best to recover, but remember i'm not much of a threat any longer guys, so have mercy on me, haha.

i rolled back the turn to mine, but it wont let me go beyond that. when i rolled it back though, suddenly it gave me a battle lost message after loading the same turn, so apparently, the computer took my turn even though three days had definitely not passed and I don't even have the turn timer enabled....a battle against two apprentices and two wisps, killed my leader, my hero, two archers, a swordsmen and an initiate....well, that's swell. dunno how that happened, but i suppose it's unfixable. like i said before, we can continue or reset.

Ezekiel would like to continue
Nub nub doesnt mind resetting
what does wolfy have to say? we will go with his tie-breaking decision.

is that an option ingame...? in settings or something? i will try to look and find it, but not sure. i'll look it up online.

It´s my turn now - haven´t entered it so far.

My suggestion would be to try to revert the turns. As justa is the host - you are the one able to do that. So try doing this revert turn thing - wait something like 30 seconds, repeat, until it´s my turn once again. Then I can press end turn and you will see if there´s still problems.

I´ll delay my current turn until you have done that.

I would like to continue the game as I´m doing all right - not perfectly at all.

yea.. we can put it to a vote. if people want to continue, i will stick with it, but understand that i'm pretty much out of the game besides a footnote.

Published on Tue, 21 Nov 2017 00:06:37 +0100

I just did my turn to see if my stuff was bugged too, but everything seemed fine on my side. I was a bit lost in thought though and finished my turn instead of exiting, I hope that didn't destroy the hope for fixing Justa's problem.

If the issue persists, I for one wouldn't mind restarting since we're not really far in yet.

I got into the lobby too and can thus confirm that "Game On" (without quotes) is indeed the password. Maybe you accidentally tried to join the wrong game^^

did you get the update for PBEM++ and have PBEM 1.22?

well, the mod in game still says 1.21, but i'm assuming as soon as we start it will be updated? I dont know how that will work. but there is already someone else logged into the game, so the password must work. Make sure the you are capitalizing the G in game and the O in on and that there is a space in between each word.

Waiting on the two other players to join.

I'm in favor of waiting for one more person. Otherwise I feel that Ezekiel will mop the floor with us (judging by his player rating - he's #4 on the ladder!). Which I'm sure will happen anyway, but not that fast then at least xD

Welcome Nub-nub!

   Cant wait to start, myself. I have never played multiplayer before, so it's pretty exciting for me. If no one else joins, we can just do a 1v1 if you want.

Soo I'm a brutal multiplayer noob (name figures) looking to play (aka get wrecked) and maybe learn a thing or two. Looking forward to get started :-)

Hi! I suggest renaming the game to be a little more explicit on the format and aims (e.g. "4 players FFA") and also listing the settings (at least key settings) in the game description. You can inspire yourself from the rules here: https://www.the-battlefield.c... />
Finally, you should drop a line about your game in the PBEM Player Pool otherwise only hard core gamers will know about it (though the weekly newsletter about open game will be sent today, so people will learn about it soon anyway): https://www.the-battlefield.c...
