Sorry guys, I'll make sure not to stale again

[chaoticag]

I have no idea how I staled. In fact, I was pretty sure I got my turn in. This just leaves me a bit confused, but it could be I accidentally sent in Round 25's turn in twice and never noticed it.

[AlStar]

I've got fire gems that are currently sitting unused in my treasury - willing to trade 1:1 for death gems or 1:2 for water gems (still a steal at the 1:4 converting them by hand gets you!)

edit: Hmm... alternatively, what's the buy-in cost for getting level 1 in a magic? 60 gems? I wonder...

[E. Albright]

50 gems, actually.

And chaoticag, I'll say the same thing I said to Thtb: make sure you get the confirmation email and/or see the game page update to make sure your turn is in...

[ThtblovesDF]

Well at least there are plenty of stalls going around this round to keep it somewhat fair, eh?

Stalers gonna stale.
Watcha gonna do aboot it.

I'm still looking to trade nature gems for water or death gems.

[ThtblovesDF]

If you want to avoid a stale, PM them ; ) - gets the turns done faster, too.

Feels good when PD manages to kill off something on its own - especially when the army that attacked doesn't have anywhere to retreat to.

Separate-but-somewhat-related-thought: Man, I often forget just how vicious large swarms of the unarmored fish-men with nets can be.

AlStar, just as an FYI, I started the process of working your flag stuff into the NG repository. It's not done because I have the attention span of a fruit fly, and "more stuff for ancient pale ones", "ancient olmspawn", "olms", and "kappa" happened to appear to be... um.... let's go with "shinier"... over the last couple of weeks. It's still worming its way in, though.

As long as it makes its way in before our next Nationgen game, I'm content.

Edit: By the way, something I've been meaning to mention - my nation appears to have some uncastable spells - specifically, Rhuax Pact and Barathrus Pact "can only be cast at Roots of the Earth." I've got a Stone of Water and a City of the Divine, but no Roots of the Earth.

That'd be because they were originally Agartha's spells, and they start with that site.

This is why I hate _(fair) early game wars, if its a 1v1 its really hard to finish someone off - or get rid of someone.


Also could someone besides Albright buy some mercs for once, he keeps throwing them at me...

Sure, but if I can't use them, they shouldn't be on my spell list. Either the spell should be changed so that I can use them (I'd guess by creating a copy of the spell that requires one of my capital's sites), or it should be excluded from the list of "possible nation-specific spells that nationgen can assign."

The spells, they taunt me. I could really use the ability to summon up a bunch of permanent earth elementals.

Apropos of nothing, but I'd say we're solidly mid-game: IMO early game ends when (virtually) all independents have been conquered, which is usually around the same time that sleeping gods start waking up (~12 turns).

[E. Albright]

Thanks for confirming that those spells have a problem; I've been meaning to test if they worked because it occurred to me a month or so ago that they probably didn't.

Also, yes, this is definitely not early game any more.

Edit: false alarm.
