Sorry for the delay. I've been in crisis mode all day fixing Micro$hit viruses.

Please note, I tried to do this twice in order to get two odd rolls. I wasn't able to get two odd results in two tries, so I modified the criteria as follows: "There will be a total of four roles of a six-sided die (one roll for each player). First two even roles will play Anon & Merlin. The other two players will play Serena & Tempest." With that criteria specified, I'm going to use the first set of results returned by the server:

Quote:

With those results, teams and wizard assignments are as follows:

Team 1:
Anon - witch-king@attbi.com
Merlin - greywind@gmx.at

Team 2:
Serena - phiroc01@yahoo.com
Tempest - sfriese@comcast.net

Turn 1 sent to Serena - phiroc01@yahoo.com

Autocombat with players and guided combat against AI?

What's the final turn order?

(I'm +1 CET (+6 EDT) and will play in the evenings...)

As with all PBEM games, the combat against another player is decided by hit points, etc. Guided combat is only possible against the AI.

Discovering the map and exploring the countryside. TS

WOOO-HO
Just got your mail. Seemed that my email provider blocked your mail 'cause it came from a mail provider known to send a lot of spam and stuff.
Problem should be solved now...

Sorry, didn't see your post

(Almost RT chat here...)

(sorry, short of time now. post later)

We go sailing.

Turn Sent

Day 1 played and sent to Minstrel.

Continuing to explore. TS

OH, THE PAIN!
My healers are tending to my wounds, but I learned a lesson of how hard the life in the field is! What I felt yesterday when I explored that magic vault out of pure curiosity, makes all the stress of strenuous concentration tasks like summoning creatures, casting spells and making strategic decisions small compared to real PAIN!
Maybe that will make me wiser concerning the orders I used to give to my people too light-heartedly.
But it was worth it. I discovered some desperately needed mana crystals and a spell, which I may use soon .
Today I relaxed and sent some troops scouting and gathering resources.

TS

Sorry, may have created a restart by accidentally pressing ?cancel? instead of ?send? in the end turn menu popup. This threw me out of the game. But when I wanted to load again from my emailIn folder, it was Tempest?s turn. So I emergency exited the game and sent it on. Hope, it?s the right one now.

Gained much needed power node and mines.

Turn Sent

Day 2 played and sent to Minstrel.

Not much to tell. Game played and sent to greywind.

A Hero joined our cause and we captured a mana node. Going to look what's this thing about the Inland Sea soon. One of my scouts found a (independent) city on the horizon. We will look at the defenses tomorrow. Not much nore to tell; further resources are within hands reach.

Got a restart message as soon as I opened the game. Maybe because of my mistake last turn (see post).

How's the diplomatic setting? Shouldn't there be some war and alliances by now? (Thinking that this is a 2 vs 2 game...)

Turn sent to sfriese

Day 2 played and sent to Minstrel.

Note: My computer crashed just after I opened the game. I had to do a hard reboot. If you see a restart message from me, that's why.

greywind:

Look for a negotiation message from me. I forgot we had to set that up manually.

A bad day. We were a bit unlucky conquering those production resources. We lost some valuable troops and got something not really worth it (but may prove useful later).
I can see troops of my enemies raiding the inland sea. Looks like we all are going to meet in the middle...

Turn sent

Hmpf! This unprovoked attack at one of our scouts will be avenged. We got our share from the middle islands, though (I believe). Preparations for war are being made.

TS

Sorry, forgot to mention that my PC restored the registry Monday morning at boot time, resulting in a restart message in all the games I am playing.

[This message has been edited by Minstrel (edited 02-04-2003 @ 05:59 AM).]

We captured a draconian city today. But due to a tactical mistake I lost more troops in the attempt than necessary.
The enemy is in sight, we will see to tomorrow.

TS

PS: Serena restart?

[This message has been edited by greywind (edited 02-04-2003 @ 04:29 AM).]

Doing stupid moves.

TS

Today was a good day, but I worry about tomorrow.

And about the fact, that none of my fellow Wizards seem to post here very often...

TS

Had again the registry reloaded. Sorry for that. Hopefully the game was quiet today.

Or was I a bit slow to post?
