12:34 AM Thoth: Hi, How do you feel about the proposed NAP in FFH III?
WarriorKnight hey
12:35 AM im fine with it actually, just writing a response
although theres nothing really much else to add
12:36 AM Thoth: Cool. I was wondering about the "no furriners through territory" clause....
I hope you're ok with it,
12:37 AM WarriorKnight yeah, thats fair enough
Thoth: In the short run you don't get much, but it does ensure there aren't any pointy eared oddballs running about in your lands.
12:38 AM OTOH, I may have been playing a bit too much Dwarf Fortress lately....
12:39 AM CIV needs a way to make Magma work properly.

WarriorKnight lol
there is a volcano event somehwere i think? not like that does anything
maybe not in FFH though
12:40 AM Thoth: Volcano in Civ IV? no....Volcano in DF...WIN (or at least some major FUN)
hehe
WarriorKnight brb
12:41 AM Thoth: hrm. Now that you mention it ....there was a fuck you event in Bts random events re: volcanoes.....
NP.
12:43 AM WarriorKnight back
yeah, thats what i meant
12:45 AM Thoth: If the price is right (after your world spell wears off ofc,) I could provide some assistance against the Infernals. If you've been paying attention to the graphs.... my military is close to my GNP.
12:46 AM WarriorKnight nah, they won't be around that long
Thoth: Can't say as I'm sorry to hear that.
Good luck with them.
12:47 AM Rumour has it that you had two cities with a warrior each within striking distance of the Circus?
WarriorKnight thanks
12:48 AM rumour?
Thoth: Pointy eared sources.
WarriorKnight something like that, it was my backline before the demons came along
12:49 AM Thoth: Yeh. I'd been worrying about Demons in my backfield before Heisenberg summoned Hybie....
12:50 AM Hence my largeish military...
WarriorKnight and dont have anything like sanctuary to save you
Thoth: well....that and some other reasons.
12:51 AM No Sanctuary....but I'm not unhappy with the results of my own world spell.
12:52 AM WarriorKnight thats true, nothing like sending cultists to kill rosier and attack the furthest guy away from you
but still, cultist running around are quite powerful
12:53 AM strange that after almost 150 turns, only 2 worldspells have been cast
7 minutes
1:01 AM Thoth: Well, it wasn't so much "sending Cultists" as taking advantage of the fact that I had two scouting Cultists in range of Rosy.....I was acually suprised that I got the chance. As far as I could tell, he had promotions in hand to take mobility and move out of range....
Not that I'm complaining.
1:02 AM WarriorKnight true, killing a world unit ought to be quite fun
1:04 AM Thoth: hehe. I enjoyed it. But I dindn't enjoy the previous couple of turns where I figured he was going to kill either my workers or my front city......Irgy's mistake.
and I should point out that it was fun not FUN.
DF is win.
1:05 AM WarriorKnight never played it
Thoth: It's awesome. You get to play with Magma.....
and often Magma is a source of FUN
hehe.
1:06 AM I've got to work on my write up for the DF succession game...
1:07 AM Apparently Dwarf Children are better miners than the folks I actually gave orders to....
7 minutes
1:14 AM Thoth: Stop that. :mad:
WarriorKnight ?
1:15 AM Thoth: You're trying to pull ahead of me in thread spam count.

hehe

WarriorKnight what? just that?
Thoth: :P
WarriorKnight you still have 2.5 times my count, how am i going to reach that?
1:16 AM Thoth: I refreshed RB and you had already posted....evil man.
WarriorKnight despite that though, i have more than half your views :P
Thoth: Posting random bewbs in your lurker thread is the key.
1:17 AM WarriorKnight how much of your thread is on topic? :P
Thoth: ~10% give or take a bit. But it's been fun so far.
1:18 AM You'll enjoy the thread once our game is done.....
Rego was a great teacher.
1:19 AM WarriorKnight lol
1:21 AM Thoth: :UristMcThoth cancels job: Conduct Chat. Out of Alcohol
I'll talk to you later mate.
WarriorKnight k, cya round

TLDR version: We have a NAP, and I've told a great big whopping lie about my information sources.

And DF is awesome.


Urist McThoth cancels Job: Update thread. : Sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine.

[Thoth]

Ending turn got me this:

Engineering is in, Necromancy is up next for a Shadow node.

I'll take Malevolent Designs as my "free" tech and start upgrading some of my Cultists to Eidolons (Current candidates are Jim Jones, Kirsty Alley and L. Ron Hubbard. I've also got a c4 warrior who may get upgraded as well.) The Beasts of Agares will have to wait a few turns I think. I'm not planning on building Mardero (yet) as I have a couple more religious swaps to do before I settle into a (semi) permanent religion.


Oh, and I built the Empy shrine this turn as well. (currently worth a whopping 4 gpt + 1 Sun Mana and +2 exp for any disciple units built in the city)

Graphs:


GNP:

MFG:

Demos:

[Thoth]

Turn 150 has come and gone, I'm working on a comprehensive state of the Empire report. Hopefully I should have it posted in the next 24 hrs.

Quick version: Hyborem is dead, AC is down to 9 (and I fucking hit end of turn by mistake while mousing over the button to see the exact numbers. :mad: )

Took Malevolent designs from the Grimoire, General Martok slew the Balor easily bringing him up to 78/82 exp. Upgraded one c4 warrior to an Eidolon. I'll finish the other 3 upgrades turn 151/152 and DOW Nyktorion on turn 152 (assuming he doesn't DOW me first, vitually his entire army is camped out in F Destination (16 adepts, 10 PoLs, 8ish archers, Glidden and 8 or so Tigers). That army will be dogmeat once I bring it to action. 4 Eidolons, 4 Ritualists, General Martok, Kahless and various and sundry Chariots, Stygians, Cultists, Paramanders and a few warriors to read the Grimoire.

[Selrahc]

Upgraded one c4 warrior to an Eidolon

Why a warrior rather than a priest?

[Thoth]

Why a warrior rather than a priest?

I've got 3 high level priests that I will be upgrading, but that warrior has more exp than my 4th best priest. He picked up Mobility/March on the upgrade so he's currently at 17/26 exp with C4/SoF/March/Mobility. He'll take Commando once I get him up to 26 exp.

[NobleHelium]

Wait, you get free promotions when upgrading to Eidolon?

[Thoth]

Eidolons get March for free and they are disciple units so I also picked up Mobility for free thanks to Spiritual.

[Thoth]

and I still haven't got the screenies uploaded for the turn 150 report.


Soon. Sooon.



In other news, I still haven't got around to DOWing Nyky. And Mardoc seems to be ok with me smacking the Elfs around for a bit.

[Square Leg]

Dude - where are the updates? I need a fix of Malakim although - I have gone and spoilt myself... (That sounds like I made a mess in my pants... which I haven't!!)

[Thoth]

They're coming soon.

I just got an email from Nyktorion....he's declared war.

Fun fun fun.
