Good game! -2-

Our enemies prepared better and had a strategy, we tried..but failed. Anyway, it was fun and interesting, although we probably never really stood a chance. But fair gameplay and nice players.
Thanks Bish, for fighting for our team as long as possible and reasonable (:

Good practice game.  I think Skuns and I might have had quite a bit more experience so the game was not balanced.  Admired the way our opponents fought to the bitter end, no quitters here!!

thanks for the game

Hi Skuns,

I was not the dradnought, I was the Rogue, so I actually had 2 cities 2 fortresses and tried to vassalize/conquer others but It took ages to reach them. And you reached most them before I did. Why is Dreadnought better underground? Because it is easier to defend choke points and the units of Dreadnought are not that mobile?

I sent some gold to Bishmanrockduring teh game, he had bad luck in the beginning and then didn't really get a second city. I believe he thought he coudl not dfent two. not sure though.

Bishmanrock, fight for the two of us now (:

To Zytozid
Thanks for explanations, this explains a lot  But I still don't understand 2 things. 
First of all, why you didn't choose UG as the starting position for Dread?   I don't remember your race, but for me it's obvious that for most races of Dreadnought UG is more comfortable  It's only my opinion so maybe I'm alone in this strategy 
And secondly, for 40+ turns you have only 1 town? It's rigidly (or cruel)?!   

P.S. I agree that the map, which you created, is not good.  <smiletext6>  There is too much water. So my partner and I were very lucky when we chose UG as a starting position <smiletext23> 
P.P.S. It was the first game where I had seen T3 flying roaming units.   (Draco Flyer) How could you create so harsh map?

No Surrender
Hi,

nope, never gave up. Our problem was mainly bad luck in teh beginning with Bishmanrock losing his leader and I had a very touhg time get off of my island, never really made it due to lack of resources. All scouts were catched and most others couldn't do much harm. I'm still playing and trying to get the most out of it.

Also, while you clearly synchronized your factions and complemented each other well, we chos ours alone and thus can't match e.g. the expansionist power of a rogue that is fed with gold by his ally in the early game. We just really lacked communication and strategy here. A learning!

The game is fine though!

To Zytozid & Bishmanrock
Hi, guys. It seems to me that you had stopped playing your turns about 10 turns ago or more. It's sad because the map was large and had many treasures to develop your empires. So I can't understand why you gave up (without session's surrender) so early even before our main forces had met <smiletext6>   I hope it wasn't my fault of such of your game playing's behaviour (e.g. connected with the delays during my vacations)

Hi, friends.
I must warn you that I'm going to a vacation from 9 till 12 of June. So I will be unable to play my turns. I'll try to play as soon as I can. Sorry for possible delays  

P.S. Seriously, doesn't anyone else have a vacation, except me?  <smiletext6>

Happy weekends and holidays for this period

To rickyroo222
Sorry, I forgot to answer you in the game  
You said that my English is excellent   Thanks for such high opinion of my language skills <smiletext21>    
I'm trying, of course, to be as literate as I can  But I'm not a native English speaker, so it makes its own adjustments in my speech 
Though I hope that in the future my words will be more understandable to you or any other people  Especially if you will not hurry to read my messages

Hi friends
I have to inform you that I will be on vacation from 22 till 26 of February. I'll try to play my turns as soon as I can but more likely that I will have no internet connection.

That might've been my fault, I'll check now and if so will take my turn in next 10mins. Apologies if so!

This session is still alive? I can't remember when I've played my last turn in it :'(

Yes, I too will be out of the area 24th - 26th and unable to take turns. Outside of that though I *should* be fine <smiletext0>

Hey guys,

I may have problems to do my turns during the christmas days, especially from 24th to 27th.
Also I may be busy the next days, handing in my master thesis on friday.
Just wanted to let you know in advance.

Cheers (:

Right, this is quite possibly me being dense, but I'm getting a mod conflict error. It says I need a certain mod installed (PBEM (unofficial) balance mod 1.18 (BETA)), so I've made sure that's installed and removed any other mods I have. But I'm still getting the mod conflict error.

What am I doing wrong?

To Zytozid
Ok, let's try to play with such turn order )) I hope that rickyroo222 will join too soon. And we can start finally .

P.S. You couldn't change turn order, I think, because I have joined and then quitted several times to see the possible changes on proposed turn order)) As I placed the 3-rd position, so you can't replace any of your team to this position)) Because of that you also could try 2/1/2/1. But now we will start without any changes or any objections ))

I'm fine with the turn order, but happy to change if others want to.

Published on Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

Turn order & start
I changed the turn order to 1/2/1/2!
Sadly, the changes are not adopted, probably because I had different settings for team 1/2 when I set the game up.

If you want another turn order let me now and I will simply set the game up anew and then we can play. If you're ok with this turn order just join.

I'm totally fine to start. As you say, I'm not adept enough to really know how I'd use team ordering to my advantage. And, at the end of the day, even if both teams are grouped together and it's not ideal, at least both teams have those advantages/disadvantages, meaning it stays balanced.

I had a massive issue until only days ago with Battlefield emails going to my spam despite being marked as a safe sender. I believe it should be fine now. I try to check daily, but if I don't respond it's probably because of that!

I'm totally happy to start. Looking forward to it <smiletext0>

game settings/start
Hey, sorry for not responding. I often miss the notification mails of the-battlefield. However, I do my turns almost daily, so I don't miss them (:

As I see we cannot change the order in the online game as we have premade teams. thus I will change the turn order here to the one prescribed by our online game. It's not perfect but it will have to work. At our skill level, the advantage/disadvantage should not be too big because of something like that.


Is everyone ok with that? Can we start?

Looking forward (:

That's fine, like I said I'm happy with any settings really, just happy to get a game going <smiletext0>

To Bishmanrock
Yes, you are completely right about AoW-server, sorry  
As for cosmic events at hard level - In no case <smiletext17>, otherwise we will all be killed before our meet   

user
Published on Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100

Positions #1 and #2 are set to Team 1 on the AoW server, so if I move myself to position #3 I'll be putting myself in Team 2. As I'm not the host I can't change this.

As for settings, I'm not particularly fussed, I'd be just happy to get a game going. That said, if you're interested, my usual settings consist of setting everything to random and cosmic happenings to hard.

Seriously, guys?!  So much time is lost in vain <smiletext17>  We could discuss here all the settings including turn order. But instead there is only silence here <smiletext6> 
Bishmanrock, it seems to me that you are a nice guy. As you remember I asked you at PM to change your position from 2-nd to 3-rd.  But I meant (and said it rightly) your position at AoW3-server!!! Not at this site (battlefield.com) :'(  And you've made just the opposite:   at this site your position has changed and now it is right, at AoW3-server (in the game) - your position has remained the same.  
Bish and Zyto, my propose to change the turn order of players is for you for the first. Such order may give more chances to defence (and to attack too) for the weaker team.
But if you are against any changes, ok, tomorrow I will join to this session and we can start

Hi guys. I like to play such team sessions.  
But I have 2 questions/remarks. 
1. I'm not too fond of random maps. But I'm not against it if we can recreate a new one when the map will be bad for most of us  
2. About an order of players in this session. The order in the table above is preferred, but we have 2 teams. And such order leads us to the fact that each team play their own part of the game. It gives more negative positions then positive ones. So I propose use the mixed order like at 2vs2 tourney: 1/2/1/2 or 2/1/2/1

I mean rickyroo didn't reply here whether he had a partner (and in the tournament I'm his partner) so I guess he would not mind to be replaced by a full team. But rickyroo may find a partner too (I think he has some difficulties to read game blog so maybe send him a PM too ).
When you're ready, you two might also creating an official team: https://www.the-battlefield.c... That will give you a team chat in the BF, a log of your matches together and add you to the ranking.

But...there already is rickyroo now, do you mean any of them might join rickyroo or should I replace a single player if a team confirms participation?
Then I'd write the teams respecitvely and ask them whether they'd like to have some fun (:

Tasslehoff told me he's too busy for AoW right now, I didn't hear word from (or is it of?) Hawk.

So we are still looking for another player.

Thansk for caring, Hiliadan! (:

Sooner or later we'll hopefully find someone... (:

Hey there! Did you contact Tasslehoff and Mr. Hawk to see if they were interested? rickyroo, do you have a partner for this game? (I don't think I fit the bill here and anyway, too busy to start a new 2vs2, as you know)
