@Andira. Well, I'll be......... I will admit that I just quick scanned some of all your RPs, and Wolfgang and his desire to re-take Nifel (his belly full of firewater for it) must have made me mis-read it. Thank god. I have not besmirched myself. Missed some of the best RP'ing of the war by just scanning this stuff quickly.

Too many sleepless nights and tired days. More ahead of me. RL sometimes makes some lazy readers of us all (me anyway).

Ps. Don't drink anything that smells funny or tastes funny in Nifel. Or from a certain well. Unless its REALLY funny...........

Nah, 10% isn't high, but right now it's probably worth repairing. It'll take an hour or two and not much gold (or metal, not your problem there though). We're sort of expecting an attack soon, so less equipment damage is good, but 10-20% isn't bad (unrepairable). Just repair when you think it's too far over 10%.

I've got 32% equipment damage on a noble in another realm, constant small skirmishes, and basically can continue on. Gave my commanders a heads-up, but even that isn't too high.

So yeah, train heaps. Recruit as much as you can. Duel a bit. Repeat. Repair when necessary.

I've never done any mods for HoMM3, but I did muck around a bit in part 4. It came with a construction set and all.

Actually, it used to make me laugh a bit. Me and a mate used to play a fair bit of HoMM4 competitively against each other, and then stumbled onto the Equilibrius mod. It fixed so many things, but then went ahead and left so much unchanged. The broken spells kind of stayed broken, the harder races were still harder to play. But for some god-alone-know's-reason, it made necropilis(undead) even better. And more versatile.

It was fun having to make house rules about spells, units able to be used, and even factions that could be fielded, whilst using the best balance mod available for the game. Equilibrius was so very cool, but the game was still so very broken.

It kind of depends if you're in Nifelheim or not. You can save up to 4 hours per turn (12 hour real-time block), but big stuff tends to come in 4 hour blocks. Eight hours per turn, with up to four saved, making a max of twelve. Big "thing" done for 8 hours, small "thing" done in 4. It depends. Scouting takes an hour, lots of really little things take an hour or two, but basically right now there's duels, training and the pub. Maybe repairs, maybe civil work, but mostly "fight hard, train hard, drink hard, or entertain yourself". Aim for the largest troop (honour, prestige and cash), that's the best trained (training/battles), with great cohesion (training, battles, random time based) with high morale (entertaining and time) and no damage(repairs). Basically, train/entertain/repair-if-needed. Duel and scout if you can or want to.

We can remove damage easily in Nifelheim, so repairs aren't a problem. Just wait until you think the enemy will move or it gets over 10%. Just train, entertain, and duel a bit. To tell you the truth, rather than the fearing the odd injury, we should duel properly instead of doing training duels. Soldiers are our force right now, we have the best healers possible, so more honour for troop size is a good thing. Civil work is out for now unless otherwise ordered.

If you're anywhere else than Summerdale, then you'd probably better ask your lords/mentors/commanders what they want.

When in Nifel, remember these words:

If the colour is yellow and smells like beer,
Then gulp it down, all in good cheer,
If the colour is yellow and smells like a fellow,
Then don't touch that, that's from the Cat.

Actually, I grabbed all the booze I could on the way out of Nifel. THEN me and my men pissed in whatever was left. There's no reason that the enemy should actually enjoy their time there.

I just totally forgot that you and Wolfgang were still there. And then you both grabbed a drink to celebrate his and Salus's release. And yeah...... Tasty?

Oops, sorry me Lady.      :)

I actually don't know if he even did "dodge and dance" a bit, haven't played for so long I really don't know the classes/jobs. But it was the best screensaver/music run I've seen in ages. Why aren't all streams like this?

I hope he puts a playlist of the tunes he had playing. Died right at Exdeath at the end anyway, but I was cruising to the tunes the whole time regardless.

Fiesta! Fiesta!

I haven't played FF5 in years, and probably won't jump into the Four Job Fiesta. But has anyone watched the stream of that guy with the "Berserker Risk" banner on the left and the little guy with the sombrero on the right? He finished up last night (about 18 hours ago, so you can jump in the stream anywhere now) and he died near at the end, but wow. That has to be the best music I've heard for a long time.

I used it as a fairly bandwidth intensive screensaver and background music for hours. I'll see if I can find the link, but yeah, that was cool.

(he may have danced around the rules a bit, but with music like that, I think he's allowed to. Fiesta time!)

This might not sound like much of a milestone to some, but by god, I've done it. My adventurer has finally slept in a bed and got back to zero fatigue. And has just enough silver to do it again. If we ever do re-take Summerdale, can we PLEASE do anything necessary to put some damn beds around the place.

Oh, and it's entirely possible that I managed to piss in both my current and former Lord's drinks through badly thought out RP'ing. P'ing anyway. Which is a milestone of sorts in itself :)

Oh, and don't worry, none of the potential adventurer abuses will happen (other than the normal jailing, hanging and torture of them). My guy is up north to do the monster hunting thing again. There's some pretty decent bounties posted up there right now,

Yeah, I'm lucky in that my guy is from Iasulder, so can't really be labelled as an enemy by Libero (he just started there as a random thing, it wasn't planned). You don't get much information in the sense of CS or anything, but knowing WHEN armies are moving (or rather, the nobles attached to them, or the other way around) is still very handy information. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be nice about it.

Even RP'ing it out (my noble and adventurer have been played as half-brothers who keep in contact by carrier pidgeon) it probably would be an abuse to use it. Still, I'll have to look into how serious a breach that it's considered. Not for this noble, but it might be good to know. There's not much info to gained, but what there is happens to be all you really need to know.

Usually when a queen, two marshals and a heap of nobles are in an area, you can be pretty sure that the army is with them. Location is just as handy to know as strength.

But I'll be good and not tell when they move, even if in RP terms I probably should be able to. It could be abused no end. Not to mention en-nobling adventurers, giving them a duchy, just so you could keep troops flowing in from areas that were being taken over. I mentioned it, but it really would be an abuse on the "place-holder lord" abuse of mechanics. So it wasn't done.

Not much actually. Just some stuff that was vaguely relevant god-alone-knows how many years ago from a character I played on an old account. I'm pretty sure he ended up in Summerdale actually, at about the time the Motte-and-Bailly was being upgraded to a fortress.

It turns out the titan's don't really appreciate you rambling on drunkenly after 4 hours sleep (and 8 hours at the pub). Which is pretty reasonable really. It's kind of scarey just how quickly they responded, and on here no less.

At least we know there won't be any abuse of game mechanics while the battle goes on. Which is a pity. We KNOW Libero is in Storm's Keep. It's going to be hard to not tell you all when they move out. Adventurers are pretty awesome scouts if you happily abuse in-game information they can collect. But I'll be a good little RP'er and not do so..... :(

Erm, it looks like Morek might have us anyway. Damn that's some good reinforcing of CS. They just seem to never lose a pip of it. I thought we'd knocked them down to under 10k, but I was so very, very wrong.

okaley dokely. Sorry. Haven't taken all my men to the pub for the required morale boost, I just scouted ahead to make sure it was all good. My morale is "quite jubilant" and I will refrain from posting again. Probably. Unless I don't mind getting banned during the most interesting bits of the war.

This thread actually got me thinking about my old mini's. While I know that this is in no way a buying/selling thread, it is relevant in some ways.

I've recently moved out of my ex-fiancee's house and have been taking stock of all the random crap that you accumulate throughout life. Is WH/WH40k on it's way out?

For me, certainly. To the point that I'm giving my old mini's away for free. I've chucked a post up on the Warseer buy/sell forum thread.

So if anyone from bay12 happens to live in the Gold Coast/Brisbane area and wants some free stuff, give it a look-see.

To me, this sort of explains why GWs stuff isn't good anymore. I spent a heap of money on this crap and now it's sitting in a box. It's junk to me, half-finished geeky stuff that I no longer like, that I'd be happy to give away for free. To a good home of course, I did spend some time accumulating this worthless junk, but it's still free/random/garage-sale quality junk. If you happen to be an Aussie around the GC/Brisbane area, by all means grab it.

Is WH/WH40k dead? Nope. But it really isn't worth shit to you when you don't play anymore. Just boxes that are taking up room in your house.

You have to wait until next turn (in about an hour and a half of real-time). You'll get a few extra hours next turn. I think the maximum is 12 hours.

You'll be in Storms End then (it'll be sunrise then). You can then choose your next destination, but it will take another turn (12 real-time hours) to move there. There are two turns a day, in 12 hour intervals.

Battlemaster is slow at the beginning, but it will speed up dramatically when you get to Nifelheim.
