Back to the game page

This reporting has to go - completely maddening and it doesn't tell the user story. So am i supposed to decide who deserves to be pointed as the 2nd place holder? Is this by points? Why is there anything else to report but the winner anyway... POS - is this really the name of the column where i should order the players - it's not good.

anyway - i didn't go to step 3 and that is why there is no notification i guess - does that mean i lost the nice and long writing i did last night ): argh!

I haven't had an notification about the report yet

good game all - i'm sure i messed-up my report, so please someone who know how to do that - check it and fix it (;

thanks for the nice time guys and c ya around

gg xlnt!

Unfortunately I didn't get to kill Blackcat before you killed me as he ran off with his leader after taking his cap. And while chasing him you ruined my economy which caused 1 complete stack of gold medals to desert  My other 6 units failed to beat his leader stack just this turn.

I wish I killed BLACKCAT a bit faster so I could've fight you a little bit more on equal terms, but to be honest I don't think I would've stand a chance.

well played!

Only the players that are at war will fight is my guess.

Yes I did intend to hit your forces first, but what I brought wasn't going to hurt you in any possible way

And you actually killed 2 of my super stronk larvae. Lol that the most surprising win I've ever seen though.

I'm willing to just sit there and summon Walking Trees until you're ready (; Your provocation will not be answered - i wish i could just sweep your land, but it doesn't seem viable/possible ATM ); The bad news is that my infiltrators got beat ); i send a mighty FirstBorn vs 3 filthy fire spitting larvae and they managed a kill ): (Walls ARE stronk)

I'm probably wrong but i still can't understand how the auto battle RNG works and i really don't know if i have the forces to attack or i'm far from it ); If it was a manual battle - i'd bet on ME

I should have tried a battle when you were hopping in my territory like a happy trotting elf, but i had to finish Rocket and i knew you two had some diabolic plan to join forces... BTW this is a nice question:

if i'm at war with player A, peace with player B and they're both at peace - and there is a fight where all 3 armies are next to each other - who fights who?

Yeah well it's done. While my main forces are fighting in Orc land xlnt is attacking my homelands and I just don't have the troops to defend there I'm afraid .

Well I was going to win that war vs the Orc, but I doubt I will be able to do it as fast as xlnt will whipe my homelands from the map

How you, xlnt, turned out to be gluttonous     You have already eaten the second player :'(

Well they got obliterated and did no damage whatsoever to you 
c ya around in the other game in which i am about to get obliterated again by you

i am still learning. 


good luck everyone. cheers 

Good Game Rocket - you had super strong heroes and those 2 black Dragons, so nice! Hope to play with you soon and thanks for the game (;

RNG - Random Number Generator - i mean the AI, the auto battle. It sometimes says and does stupid things. I don't trust it at all. I watched how it did the battle in our case - just rushed your units over the walls to be picked one by one and the last units (on your side) standing were 3 gold medal shooters that took 2-3 turns to be killed.

anyway - i'll be extra careful when leaving stacks to defend structures from now on (;

Thanks for compliment.   It's nice to be Great when you have lost
But I don't understand your phrase "don't trust the RNG!" :'( What did you mean?
In order to all three armies/stacks protect buildings (Watchtower, Fortress, Town, also may be sites to use its specific advantages), one of your army must stay inside this building (central hexagon of Fortress/Town) and other two armies must stay near at triangle position.  
I was fortunate to use that effect in my recent game of the tournament (see report here).


You said: "never trust a Necromancer - they cheat Death herself!"   This is the law of life of the undead

Skuns - i learned 3 major lessons here:

1. don't put your stacks near a town, because it counts as a stack!
2. don't trust the RNG!
3. you're a great player and know this ^^ stuff and i was about to lose if the auto combat didn't went my way

so i positioned my 3 stacks such as two are near a town and i was ok if Skuns attacks all 3 of them, but i didn't expect/know that the battle will be with only the 2 stacks that are near the town/fortress.

thank you for the game! i promise to get better so we make even better games );

p.s. never trust a Necromancer - they cheat Death herself!

That's still quite a lot of information you gave us Skuns

I totally agree with xlnt on cheating btw. I'm an online gamer since 1998 and never ever have I used a cheat or cheated in whatever way. I had fight a lot of cheaters though..., but I really don't understand how someone can get satisfaction out of using cheats :/

You said: " never trust a necromancer! " This phrase has a deep meaning  
That's all. Our opposition was ended    Perhaps I am too hurried to kill the immature Archdruid But you have not been too cautious in my opinion   You risked, but won My congratulations
I will not post stats screenshot, until this session will not be completed.
Otherwise, it will affect the balance of the game. But you know yourself that others don't have a chance to win, if only they would not unite against you

 i got a weeee bit of panic there

i'm coming from the HoMM3 community and after 15 years of playing i'm immune to cheating and/or care if there is a reward involved. Getting to play vs a smart opponent is the best reward - i truly believe that (;

also - never trust a necromancer!

Wow, how much I missed being on vacation  
xlnt, thank you for your truthfulness and honest approach to the gameplay. But I don't see a problem - I created this session only for fun for all of us.
Besides, sometimes I've received similar messages too at other sessions which I've played. But I have no enough statistics by what reasons it appears. Although I didn't cheat at this sessions (usually most of the players ran out long before the end of the session, but it is unlikely that they was frightened by number of my necromantic hordes  ).
I think, you can continue to play without any worries.


P.S. Usually I trust to other people/players as my own, probably because of it I haven't looked for cheating on the opponent's turn (at Ironman mode). Or it may be from my sloth
P.P.S. Special thanks to the admins, who clarified this situation and who have not remained aloof from happening "

highhandedness

Hi xlnt, I see you sent me a PM, sorry for the delay to answer, I'm on holiday with internet access only at the hotel / family home.

This is the "Ironman notification" we talk about in the tournament rules. It mostly appear when you had to reload your turn for some reasons. A failed upload is not usually such a reason, except if you shut down your game through unconventional methods. But sometimes it happens (rarely) that you get unjustified Ironman notifications.

As this game is not part of the tournament, there is not judge associated to it and for instance, I don't have any authority on this game as an Admin of the site.
So for me, it's more up to the judgement of the host and the other players of this game. Here the problem is already solved and you moved forward but it will be the same in the future if such an issue happens.

:-) The undead are guilty

yes! it worked - turn send with no problems (;

winning is not the point of the game - it's playing, whoever cheats to win misses the biggest reward of all

anyway - thanks for commenting and you know - being a community (; seems like i'll have my vengance vs the sneaky necromancer (;

this is not good. You shall only play with a stable Internet Connection.
Please not play when you are losing the Connections (for example in a Train).

One-time  is not a Problem, can happening to everyone.
So play easy and all is fine. (Yes -> Continue)

Problem is when happening often! then some Players thinking about cheating.

so i started the game - played my turn and hit the end the turn button - the game was not sending it's data (no loading bar) so i alt+tab_ed out to see what's up and it seemed my network card lost it's default gateway... so i click repair and 1 min later all is ok. I restarted the game as it was still hanging and not sending data and when i try to play the turn (expecting i only have to hit the end turn button) i get this error/warning msg. it asks me if i know what i am doing and i don't so i posted it here (: this is the whole story - sorry to bother you all.

tl, dr: - i can't play my turn because of this error msg. i get - i don't know if it's safe to click 'yes' on it

You can ignore this message and Play.
But this message shall come only when you have Problems with AOW3 or with Internet? What is exactly the Problem?

I doubt you have to quit the game. I doubt you did anything wrong at all anyways

yeap - don't want to exit the game before i smack my friend Skuns necromantic punny forces ): but if i have to - i will, it's also your game (;

I understand your concerns. You don't want to get kicked out for no reason.

Best would be if an admin gave us an answer regarding the matter. I know that in the early days of PBEM in Aow3 I got this message quite often while I couldn't do shit about it. I haven't had it since the latest patches though.

yes - usualy (: not this time - and i have never seen this error/warning msg., so i don't know what is the proper thing to do );

My net goes down very often and this never shows up. The turn gets loaded again with all the moves already saved and I get to do just end turn again

http://imgur.com/9cch70Q

this poped up when i tried to end my turn - what to do?

i had i little i-net issue, didn't saw my i-net was down and i tried to end the turn );

I'll be on my vacation at this holidays (6 and 7-th). So, there may be delays in my turn.

There are no rules regarding max. T4's in a stack, except when you are new to PBEM.. then it's max 1 a stack

Those rules are from the War of the Lords steam group led by overlord darkslash. Which is/was a nice idea, but the games are reallllly slow there.

Beer and smelly dwarf-en stuff, like axe grease and what's up with their boars... Anyway - Orcs and Dwarfs are always fighting and pay no attention to the finer things in ... wizarding (:

i commit to summoning the 1st tier4 unit in our game and wanted to ask in all seriousness (i'm new to pbem)
are there any community rules about T4s - like only 1 per battle group? I have seen rules like that in the forums

p.s. My bear still lives! You shall not take it and turn it into a ghoul!

And what smells from the Dwarves? May be it is drunken fumes?  
Sorry, I did not want to offend anybody.   I just say that Dwarfs beer is very famous at the world and at the Necromancers too
P.S. As I know, I have a peace with only BlackCat, at war with you, xlnt, and at neutrality with all the other. But a few turns ago RocketRandom was attacked my ghost which was staying at his city's borders. And this attack did not lead to war between us for some reason.

oh, i'm crawling back to my capitol - don't you worry

it's always fine to play vs this much tactics - i feel like (the size of the) armies doesn't matter - it's how you move them!

I see you made peace with the Dwarf that got one of your necro towns ); why make peace with the short guys?! They are also very smelly...

Orcs? Really? Well, maybe it's the smell of blood and sweat
As for the cities, I still can't raze your tiny little town within 5 turns :'(  If and further will be going, then you'll have enough time to concentrate all of your armies to the capital before I crawl up to it 

My Druids! The corpses raised and killed my 6-pack of fine druids! My towns overrun by the un-dead!

In my travels i met a fellow Druid.. the thing is - they are Orcs.. so you know - they smell...

I'm just trying to bring some confusion in the ranks of my opponents  
Otherwise, after the creation of the alliance (3 vs 1), it will be very difficult to fight on two fronts (east and west ). History has shown the example (WW II) of the complexity of victory in such harsh conditions  
But who knows, what difficulties the Necromancer's forces are able to overcome?   However, I don't want to risk at this session

I found just 1 on my own (still neutral with that one) the rest 2 of them came to my base for me to find them
Still haven't met 1 I guess

pretty good game for me - fun fighting 2 players at the same time. The AD class provides a lot of mobility and in this game it mattered so much. I was able to run the map and tag enemy towns and sites while slowing down both opponents and minimizing the mayhem they caused in the territory where i started the game.

1. don't put your stacks near a town, because it counts as a stack!
2. don't trust the RNG!
3. you're a great player and know this ^^ stuff and i was about to lose if the auto combat didn't went my way

so i positioned my 3 stacks such as two are near a town and i was ok if Skuns attacks all 3 of them, but i didn't expect/know that the battle will be with only the 2 stacks that are near the town/fortress.

thank you for the game! i promise to get better so we make even better games );

p.s. never trust a Necromancer - they cheat Death herself!

That's still quite a lot of information you gave us Skuns

I totally agree with xlnt on cheating btw. I'm an online gamer since 1998 and never ever have I used a cheat or cheated in whatever way. I had fight a lot of cheaters though..., but I really don't understand how someone can get satisfaction out of using cheats :/

You said: " never trust a necromancer! " This phrase has a deep meaning  
That's all. Our opposition was ended    Perhaps I am too hurried to kill the immature Archdruid But you have not been too cautious in my opinion   You risked, but won My congratulations
I will not post stats screenshot, until this session will not be completed.
Otherwise, it will affect the balance of the game. But you know yourself that others don't have a chance to win, if only they would not unite against you

 i got a weeee bit of panic there

i'm coming from the HoMM3 community and after 15 years of playing i'm immune to cheating and/or care if there is a reward involved. Getting to play vs a smart opponent is the best reward - i truly believe that (;

also - never trust a necromancer!

Wow, how much I missed being on vacation  
xlnt, thank you for your truthfulness and honest approach to the gameplay. But I don't see a problem - I created this session only for fun for all of us.
Besides, sometimes I've received similar messages too at other sessions which I've played. But I have no enough statistics by what reasons it appears. Although I didn't cheat at this sessions (usually most of the players ran out long before the end of the session, but it is unlikely that they was frightened by number of my necromantic hordes  ).
I think, you can continue to play without any worries.


P.S. Usually I trust to other people/players as my own, probably because of it I haven't looked for cheating on the opponent's turn (at Ironman mode). Or it may be from my sloth
P.P.S. Special thanks to the admins, who clarified this situation and who have not remained aloof from happening "

highhandedness

Hi xlnt, I see you sent me a PM, sorry for the delay to answer, I'm on holiday with internet access only at the hotel / family home.

This is the "Ironman notification" we talk about in the tournament rules. It mostly appear when you had to reload your turn for some reasons. A failed upload is not usually such a reason, except if you shut down your game through unconventional methods. But sometimes it happens (rarely) that you get unjustified Ironman notifications.

As this game is not part of the tournament, there is not judge associated to it and for instance, I don't have any authority on this game as an Admin of the site.
So for me, it's more up to the judgement of the host and the other players of this game. Here the problem is already solved and you moved forward but it will be the same in the future if such an issue happens.

:-) The undead are guilty

yes! it worked - turn send with no problems (;

winning is not the point of the game - it's playing, whoever cheats to win misses the biggest reward of all

anyway - thanks for commenting and you know - being a community (; seems like i'll have my vengance vs the sneaky necromancer (;

this is not good. You shall only play with a stable Internet Connection.
Please not play when you are losing the Connections (for example in a Train).

One-time  is not a Problem, can happening to everyone.
So play easy and all is fine. (Yes -> Continue)

Problem is when happening often! then some Players thinking about cheating.

so i started the game - played my turn and hit the end the turn button - the game was not sending it's data (no loading bar) so i alt+tab_ed out to see what's up and it seemed my network card lost it's default gateway... so i click repair and 1 min later all is ok. I restarted the game as it was still hanging and not sending data and when i try to play the turn (expecting i only have to hit the end turn button) i get this error/warning msg. it asks me if i know what i am doing and i don't so i posted it here (: this is the whole story - sorry to bother you all.

tl, dr: - i can't play my turn because of this error msg. i get - i don't know if it's safe to click 'yes' on it

You can ignore this message and Play.
But this message shall come only when you have Problems with AOW3 or with Internet? What is exactly the Problem?

I doubt you have to quit the game. I doubt you did anything wrong at all anyways

yeap - don't want to exit the game before i smack my friend Skuns necromantic punny forces ): but if i have to - i will, it's also your game (;

I understand your concerns. You don't want to get kicked out for no reason.

Best would be if an admin gave us an answer regarding the matter. I know that in the early days of PBEM in Aow3 I got this message quite often while I couldn't do shit about it. I haven't had it since the latest patches though.

yes - usualy (: not this time - and i have never seen this error/warning msg., so i don't know what is the proper thing to do );

My net goes down very often and this never shows up. The turn gets loaded again with all the moves already saved and I get to do just end turn again

http://imgur.com/9cch70Q

this poped up when i tried to end my turn - what to do?

i had i little i-net issue, didn't saw my i-net was down and i tried to end the turn );

I'll be on my vacation at this holidays (6 and 7-th). So, there may be delays in my turn.

There are no rules regarding max. T4's in a stack, except when you are new to PBEM.. then it's max 1 a stack

Those rules are from the War of the Lords steam group led by overlord darkslash. Which is/was a nice idea, but the games are reallllly slow there.

Beer and smelly dwarf-en stuff, like axe grease and what's up with their boars... Anyway - Orcs and Dwarfs are always fighting and pay no attention to the finer things in ... wizarding (:

i commit to summoning the 1st tier4 unit in our game and wanted to ask in all seriousness (i'm new to pbem)
are there any community rules about T4s - like only 1 per battle group? I have seen rules like that in the forums

p.s. My bear still lives! You shall not take it and turn it into a ghoul!

i don't understand what you want me to do Hiliadan - to update race/class where and how?

p.s. oh! - i got it, fixed now

when i initially reported the game i wrote a long story of how it went but then i got lost in the battle with the site's UI );

in short: i scouted aggressively and when i found Skuns i got an alliance with RockBottom's Dwarf Warlord and managed to 'enclose' him or at least hinder his scouting by leaving units at choke points (which payed off later i think). Skuns was already ghouling the map and also had super large towns and i lured him in a part of the map where there were no units to kill. I used my superior scouting to attack his towns while he is away and managed to dance around my own towns for a time enough for my heroes/armies to come back before he had everything. He showed me a trick that i didn't consider (a town/fortress next to my 3 armies can be used by the enemy to attack only 2 armies) but the RBGesus was rolling for me and i won the battle.

I Haven't met Kwibus and i was worried a lot and i immediately positioned my armies to attack 2-3 towns of RockBottom's empire in a blitz. I managed the blitz but i lost a nice up-coming lvl5-6 Theo and his army. RockBottom got his army together and danced a bit around his capitol while Kwibus (finally appeared) tried to sneak some armies to help him and i got paranoid. I managed to wait for the right turn to finish off RockBottom and not be exposed to contra-attack by Kwibus and after i managed that we started a good and long partisan war with Kwibus.

It become obvious i was just in time to get Kwibus' attention to save BlackCat from being removed. I kept getting new units and attacking off-sites and resource making sites while keeping my presence at our border. My techs for movement gave me 42 mp druid/hunter stacks and i started upgrading a Dragons Dwelling. After a while i started luring Kwibus to hit some units and that triggered a response that leaved his border town attack-able (; Kwibus tried to move his units away from that town but i reached him and again the auto-battle was mine with minimal to no losses (lucky).

BlackCat send me an alliance proposal the turn after Kwibu's defeat and that was it - i wanted to go 100 units but i only got 70-80 at the end.

Everyone was fast with the turns and it was a nice game - hope we meet each-other again and thanks for the game (;

Match has been reported from xlnt!
Back to the game page

This reporting has to go - completely maddening and it doesn't tell the user story. So am i supposed to decide who deserves to be pointed as the 2nd place holder? Is this by points? Why is there anything else to report but the winner anyway... POS - is this really the name of the column where i should order the players - it's not good.

anyway - i didn't go to step 3 and that is why there is no notification i guess - does that mean i lost the nice and long writing i did last night ): argh!

I haven't had an notification about the report yet

good game all - i'm sure i messed-up my report, so please someone who know how to do that - check it and fix it (;

thanks for the nice time guys and c ya around

gg xlnt!

Unfortunately I didn't get to kill Blackcat before you killed me as he ran off with his leader after taking his cap. And while chasing him you ruined my economy which caused 1 complete stack of gold medals to desert  My other 6 units failed to beat his leader stack just this turn.

I wish I killed BLACKCAT a bit faster so I could've fight you a little bit more on equal terms, but to be honest I don't think I would've stand a chance.

well played!

Only the players that are at war will fight is my guess.

Yes I did intend to hit your forces first, but what I brought wasn't going to hurt you in any possible way

And you actually killed 2 of my super stronk larvae. Lol that the most surprising win I've ever seen though.

I'm willing to just sit there and summon Walking Trees until you're ready (; Your provocation will not be answered - i wish i could just sweep your land, but it doesn't seem viable/possible ATM ); The bad news is that my infiltrators got beat ); i send a mighty FirstBorn vs 3 filthy fire spitting larvae and they managed a kill ): (Walls ARE stronk)

I'm probably wrong but i still can't understand how the auto battle RNG works and i really don't know if i have the forces to attack or i'm far from it ); If it was a manual battle - i'd bet on ME

I should have tried a battle when you were hopping in my territory like a happy trotting elf, but i had to finish Rocket and i knew you two had some diabolic plan to join forces... BTW this is a nice question:

if i'm at war with player A, peace with player B and they're both at peace - and there is a fight where all 3 armies are next to each other - who fights who?

Yeah well it's done. While my main forces are fighting in Orc land xlnt is attacking my homelands and I just don't have the troops to defend there I'm afraid .

Well I was going to win that war vs the Orc, but I doubt I will be able to do it as fast as xlnt will whipe my homelands from the map

How you, xlnt, turned out to be gluttonous     You have already eaten the second player :'(

Well they got obliterated and did no damage whatsoever to you 
c ya around in the other game in which i am about to get obliterated again by you

i am still learning. 


good luck everyone. cheers 

Good Game Rocket - you had super strong heroes and those 2 black Dragons, so nice! Hope to play with you soon and thanks for the game (;

RNG - Random Number Generator - i mean the AI, the auto battle. It sometimes says and does stupid things. I don't trust it at all. I watched how it did the battle in our case - just rushed your units over the walls to be picked one by one and the last units (on your side) standing were 3 gold medal shooters that took 2-3 turns to be killed.

anyway - i'll be extra careful when leaving stacks to defend structures from now on (;

Thanks for compliment.   It's nice to be Great when you have lost
But I don't understand your phrase "don't trust the RNG!" :'( What did you mean?
In order to all three armies/stacks protect buildings (Watchtower, Fortress, Town, also may be sites to use its specific advantages), one of your army must stay inside this building (central hexagon of Fortress/Town) and other two armies must stay near at triangle position.  
I was fortunate to use that effect in my recent game of the tournament (see report here).
