bump

Real soon... I started to play it. BTW, I told of the delay in the info thread.

Roderick, Day 47

The Fierce leaves The Hafen with a strong guard left behind. These Infidels are really starting to annoy him !

He now sets forth on a new mission to take back my Kingdom.

We need more gold, much more gold ! ! !

TS

The monsters keep comming and we somehow got a magic servant in the realm of the shadow demons. We question ourselves what kind of magic caused this event.

Negociation with the frostlings continues.

Wehrkatze Tatze - Tigrans, day 47

We faced an attack of area guards in the night. No losses on our side. The area guards are no more.

A new hero joined and we found another city. Very promising.

TS

Signed the peace treaty with the Nomad. We should be getting along just well.

Some mysterious force summoned us to the Shadow world. It looks like a gathering of some sort as I can see many other kingdoms' presentative too.

Grak die Klinge - Shadow Demons

Some priceless knowledge was gained in the Magic University explaining my role in this world, giving clues to why it is diying. If it is true, maybe there is something I can do.

I asked the neighbours to stop this Magic Servants karyoky party :-/ Not in my backyard, please!!

Roderick, Day 48

Note: This map is really getting to be beyond me. I just finally got to the point where I was able to think about taking, another important city close to my HQ, and not only is there no way I could have the 4700 gold pieces, to buy an Elite Hero, Cyclops, and Angel team etc. But, as soon as I even check the prices of the small, and really worthless groups to purchase around them, strong area guard packs start to appear like manna falling from the skies in ancient times. And the Elite team in the center joins them ( even though they are supposedly friendly to me and willing to join ) so I can't even buy them, I have to kill them, and be happy with a couple of weapons I gain , I guess ? ? ? I don't know that even if I brought my one good Hero, and his team, and he won, if there would be much left of my men, after the battle to make it worthwhile. I really hope this is a glitch, like the task I was given in the beginning of the game. I think that maybe 3,000 events is a lot for anyone to keep track of when making a map. I will continue to play, but if you can find a replacement for me that would be great, as everything I do seems to be wrong, and I can't get any traction in the game. It is getting to be too much like work, and I can't really enjoy myself.

Hey Eagleman!

I am sorry to read this.
This map contains not 3000 but 5000 events.
I think I know where you are.
Inside the Vollbehrs city complex, right?
You try to buy the main capital city with hero Dior?
I know there are area guard coming up here.

You where warned many times when you get through the main gates of this huge city complex.
And there are warnings wherever you go inside this huge complex.
OK its hard to loose and I know the fight you had because I just play this map as hobbits right now myself.
I send a single messenger to Dior and had the same surprise with the same terrible battles but I only lost one spy/messenger.
the capitol forces and the area guard killed themself while I step back in this battle.

So here we are at a point in my AoWSM maps...
I always say: "Send out spies" to anyone.
I need to confess that I often miss this hint myself and run into traps.
So IO know how hard it is.

I hope my words will help you finding it not to hard.
Some more words.
- This map was not mainly designed to be played in PBEM games.
- The gold the guards of a city want depends on the worth of the city with all its building, the worth of the garrison itself and the worth of the hero with his items.
So sometimes the price seems impossible high BUT it is not my fault because this are AoWSM mechanics.

Of course it is also possible that a price is set by hand via event but not in this case.
You should be happy to be a Hobbit and a peacekeeper.
Your neighbor the Orc can´t but all this fine troops inside this big city complex.

So be happy to be a peacekeeper be able to buy neutral units.

Cheers
The Groll

@ Eagleman
About the massive AG spawn near the main capitol of the Vollbehrschen cities.
I think the events work like this (I have not checked but imagine). Every time when you move close to the main central hex there ill be a spawn until you capture the main city.
If you take a own group or single unit and move it to the main central hex and click on move the unit moves and one or two spawns will pop up. If you are close to the main hex and move around and change this unit to this group and that unit to this group there will be another spawn and another and another. Therefore you have so many spawns. When I moved in to this central hex there where only maybe three spawns not that many that you have here now.
I can see you via a seeing pool so I know what we talk about.
I am sad you loose fun and I am sad you will loose this two groups but maybe you have luck the the inner AI army with the Dior hero fight for you.
Good Luck.

Grak die Klinge - Shadow Demons

Where is the one who ruins this world? Is he really so strong that he shows me no mercy as sages of the Magik University are convinced? Is my fate destined and sealed and tragic? May I need non-shadows dwellers help to defeat the source of the troubles? Keeping asking these questions makes me a paranoid. I doubt everyone and every place I see.
I really need a walk. Maybe moving to a bigger city, albeit Undead, having better facilities will ease my mind.

Meanwhile my forces loot the University, recruiting new allies, gaining me strong spells. Most of other Shadows that I can reach will be conquired tomorrow.

And the party of little magic servants just goes on. Where do they pop in from?? Is it possible that while somewhere mana is turned into solid gold, as a result of that some trees or rocks are turned into magical beings?? I feel that every little thing can be my doom.

Note: I'll give it a shot !

Wehrkatze Tatze - Tigrans, day 49

Surprise! Again area guards around. Gladiators! They should entertain the masses in a circus somewhere and not stroll around. This can't be tolerated.

TS

What are the Saints doing in this god-forsaken land? Providing a sanctuary? I don't need one. Snow provide me the best sanctuary.

TS

Bump!

Oleg, you are still there hopefully?

ts - I am sorry, I was sure it was sent out ages ago.

Roderick, Day 50

Turn Sent.

Note: I tried sending in a small scout in to see if I could get the area guards to fight each other. 3 of the 8 stacks ganged up on him, and the rest never attacked each other.

I found a university but the guards wouldn't let my men in without a key. And they were as aggressive as they are academic.. groups and groups of astral guards appeared to plan an ambush in the night. My messenger was not lucky to be alive but his guards didn't let any spirit guards survive either. It looks like this instituation took their caution to a too high level >.>

Häuptling Nugor - Orcs, day 50

My brother send me reinforcements form another world!
General Krain arrived through a teleporter gate from the other world.
He offers to join my army and her really brings strong men with him.

BUMP

E-Mail sent to Oleg.

Hello, guys!

I have posted in the info thread long ago that I quit about all my games. So you will need a sub. I am sorry and wish you all the best.

Oh thanks Oleg for the reminder.
we already have a sub. I found Travis in the absence thread and he joined but never received my file.
I send the file to Travis some month ago and now again to his other address.

Sorry for the lateness getting to this. It had went to spam. If you remember, I was going to look at the turn to think about subbing. I'll have to decline, I would like to help to get your game moving, but it is just too massive of a game. I cannot wrap my mind around it, coming into it so late.

Ah so we'll have to find another sub, who is able to handle XXL map with huge armies. I find my position quite interesting, with certainly the 2nd best army in the game for the moment. I learned the hard way to use scouts in this map though.
