[E-N-D] 30 - Laying Down the Law

[SkulkrinBait]

Me, Natmus and Merlin.

"Fawkrin the Skulkrin slew Martolax the Mad at The Tower Of Coroth on day 21 ;D "

Don't mess with those Skulkrin!

More Natmus propaganda!

There's only one or two of my lords who's in a battle at the moment, true they're getting beaten pretty bad but the tide will turn. Maybe ;D

I've only just realised Merlin is dead, when did that happen? I've had about 6 armies scouring the Ithrorn/Dreams/Grarg area trying to find him and also fighting the only loyal army to him I could find near Ushgarak.

What happens to armies loyal to a player when they die? Do they stay still or wander around aimlessly?

Dunno these days. My best guess is they stay hostile for a period, then turn neutral again and can be recruited.

They remain loyal to Merlin's memory fo courage + 2 days.

So, a terrified lord would become neutral in just 2 days, an UC lord in 10.

I was thinking of removing the +2 days part, but as I've had no feedback yet on this feature I don't know

You talking to me Catpuss?

;D

How many of Merlins armies did you kill, I accounted for quite a few myself.

I didn't have that many, so both of you could of only taken out a couple...

Ul Artuth, Lorgrim, Martolax, Rrrr, Lek, Whispers, Karya, Tuhr and Xuratoth.

Some of those are yours I know but not sure which exactly as I just kill and don't take much notice of who I am killing. ;D

Yeah I'd like to play you again Natty and the journal idea is cool.

One problem I always have is when I try to play from work. The game works fine but the journals and battle reports don't work properly.

The first time I click on them it's fine, but every time after that they just bring up the same old information, even from different games etc.

I've not reported this as a bug as I'm sure it's down to the way our network caches web pages, maybe I should let Jean know?

Anyway, I am now almost 100% with the locations of all the new lords, one problem I had was that I had so many games on the go that I couldn't remember what I was doing.

This will no longer be a problem as I am only going to be playing 3 games or so at a time.

So prepare for a whupping! ;D

Yup, sounds like a cache issue. I do try to force the browser to reread the info from the server rather than the cache, but it does not always work.

To see whether I am doing it correctly, I will post a thread in the Coding forum requesting clarifcation.

And yes, please always reportr issues to me/the group, even if not directly code-related. You never know if a fix is possible!

I think the game was lost very early on as Merlin and I had a big fight in the Dreams area whilst you were able to recruit to your hearts content Bagpus.

I knew that I was badly outnumbered and my only hope was to kill you quickly before your armies had chance to form up properly.

My contingency plan didn't have chance to be tried out due to your cautious approach, but I know better next time.

I'll be ready for you next time, once I've reduced the number of games I'm playing we'll dance once more! ;D

Well played, an enjoyable foray!

Not that great an advantage, I think. I had lost heavily to Merlin down in Dregrim as he found my king without any armies to bodyguard him, and then sent all his southern forces straight at him. In the end my king survived and the little falcon's forces perished, but I was rather out of it for a time. The fighting down there cost me much more than I would have liked, anyway. And given that you had all your
forces between my two groups, where you easily outnumbered my Velethor/Korkith group, you could have gone for that with all your force before my people could get through dreams in any state to help out.

Just like Merlin tried. That tactic doesn't work against me. It may be fun for a while, but that tactic is all coyboy hat and no cattle

"cautious approach" ?? LOL!
