If you have specific questions about your game or the reporting process, this is a good thread in which to ask them. Either Griselda or I will try to answer ASAP.

Okay, I'll admit it. I have been playing Warcraft 2 instead of Diablo and working on Otrere's story.

I need some advice, and this is where it may get dusty. In the last human scenario, how the heck do I get past the dragons? I get a decent build going on, have some elves to handle the dragons, but sheez...not 6 at once.

tips?

Thanks,

Rakhir.

General enough?

and devastation.

Last weekend, there was a storm in cottage country. The recent stretch of warm weather was just about to end. It rained during the day, but as the temperature dropped, it changed to wet heavy snow and it just kept coming down - 23 inches of it.

The electicity went off on Saturday evening and was not restored until Wednesday, because there were innumerable line breaks from trees falling.

A cottage neighbour (who lives there full-time, and had the joy of dealing with that lengthy black-out) alerted us that there was damage. So we went to the cottage this weekend to assess.

Our cottage lot is small - 170 by 100 feet. And we have lost at least 20 trees. There is no way to know yet how many, as some are bent so far over that they may not survive. The electricity line that leads to the cottage is under two downed trees. Some of them are literally uprooted; some of them are snapped; a couple have shattered boles and some are 'merely' bent over to the ground.

This is a place with no soil cover. There is bedrock, then about 8 inches of old morraine rubble and a bit of soil mixed into it. Trees take roughly forever to mature. One tree that my husband's grandfather planted a good sixty years ago is all of 20 feet tall. So the lost trees are old.


It is hard to show this in photographs, because I cannot give background adequately to explain what you 'should' or 'should not' be seeing.

For example, you 'should' be able to see from the road to the water, along the side of the cottage. When you stand at the poplar stump, looking toward the back of the cottage, you 'should not' be able to see the cottage at all, due to the number of trees that 'should' be in between.

The 'invisible' lilac is 15 feet high, but it is under another downed tree right now. Birch trees should not look like weeping willows in outline. Cedar trees do stand upright.

The bottom line is: we don't yet know the bottom line. We cannot do anything until at least another month has gone by, and the intervening weather could make the damage much worse.

I do know this for sure: the shade gardens that I have painstakingly been building for the past few years are no longer in shady locations.

But the snow sure looks purty on the trees....

I had this specialized strategy that I wanted to try out on a suitably adverse start.

I decided to play as China.

Juuuust kidding.

I actually decided to boldly Eviscerate China, sacrifice her people and move the Altar of Sacrifice to Beijing (then kill a passing settler). Here they can be seen surgically removing China's heart.


How did those longbows get down there? Simple.

The TOP SECRET Fuedalism Slingshot (of awesomeness)

Then it was a simple matter of sacrificing thousands of slaves to prepare the army.

Going for Domination on a large Highlands is almighty tedious , I've played up to the Industrial age and am firmly in first place, but it's pretty boring so I don't think I'll bother continuing or reporting it. I just thought it was pretty cool attacking China right away and actually succeeding with a military coup.

Hi,

I've finally found the time to report about another private game. This time it was with the variant rule that I would not be allowed to build any military units! If you like to read about it, look here.

This is dedicated to Charis, who did a similar game in Civ 3 and whose crazy reports about crazy games I really miss...
