    So in one of my games the strangest ass thing happened overnight. Started a new game yesterday, was wheeling and dealing with coin trades, expanding into territory. Get up this morning to find that I've somehow been defeated and some other dude now has all my territory plus a bunch of surrounding territory that 1: there would be no way he could afford given the age of the game being less than a day, and 2: that he couldn't have moved troops fast enough to occupy. And my email says I conceded defeat, which I definitely did not do. Is it possible the game creator kicked me and had a buddy come in?

    Derp, nevermind. Re-loaded the page and now it's fine.

    I don't think so. I don't think the game creator has that power. Maybe he guessed your password?

    Give me Blue/Yellow, bitches.

    I can trade back whatever else.


    Annihilation

    If you have green I'll send you my 21 yellow when my envoy gets back.

    The message system in game sucks when everyone is responding at once.

    I'll send out 21 green asap.

    Isle Of Sodor

    So apparently ents can cast roots on themselves.. I was seeing if the zombie army was in range yet and somehow my mind went blank and I thought that the enchantment would cancel if I clicked on my ents again.

    So now I have a army a 100 strong army of ents sitting rooted in between 2 cites, think I might win the dumb ass award for this game. Odd thing is it should last for 100 hours however it only seams to last for 29 (1d, 5h). This is my first time playing with them, anyone else notice that there roots don't last as long on zombies as they should or is this just something weird because the ents casted it on themselves?

    I'm pretty sure that troops move on the hour. At the very least, it's not as granular as in Neptune's Pride, where they seem to move pretty much constantly.

    Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.

    In twenty hours I should have four more cities.

    Whee.

    Oh and maybe I'll have to fend off a horrible zombie invasion at some point.

    But fuck those guys.

    Is there a way to properly trade coins, or do you just give your coins away and hope the other person remembers to send yours in return?

    It's an honor system. Everyone sends out their envoys at different times to do different things, and only one of those things is sending coins.

    But as you can see coin totals you are free to call someone a goose if they sit on the 65 yellow they promised you for a day and a half.


    Some of us are already posting our trade lists publicly so everyone knows when, roughly, they can expect their stuff to arrive.

    Well, you could mention in the message when you send the coins what you are expecting back...

    I think the lack of a strict trading system is one of the built-in mechanics for potentially prompting inter-player conflict.

    Harder to shame someone out of goosery in a pub game.

    Though what's this about posting trade lists publicly? As in cc'ing them to everyone, I guess?

    Yeah, like in Anihilation we've got a big thread where everyone's been bartering off their wenches, and when someone's full up on trades they list who's getting what in which order.

    Does tax raising roll over into the next day, and does it therefore sometimes make sense to bank your fundraising until your new markets complete?

    Good to know, thanks.

    Another question! How do you activate a unit's spell?

    Just having trouble finding the "Bathe the enemies of the orcs in a fiery shamanic wind" button.

    Highlight the unit, then right beneath the link to read about the spell will be a button (showing the cost) to activate it. Unless it is still recharging, in which case you will instead see a count-down timer.

    Yeah, Penny Arcadia has been pretty tame and zombie-focused, but everyone in Isle of Sodor has been up in each other's shit right from the get go. I could totally see us getting overrun by zombies while we fight each other for territory.

    I think when Annihilation is over, I want to try a War of Kings-type game.

    For those of you who don't know, that's you're standard free-for-all like Neptune's Pride, except there's ALSO zombies to deal with.

    You'll definitely win any battle where your strength is at least theirs + 6*(number of dice they have)

    Where your strength is Strength + (number of dice) + (fortifications if you are on defense)

    Be careful with this calc, though - some units (Orcs, Men, Gnome-blessed, and Zombie Men) have dice-roll modifiers.

    They are always in the favor of the player though, with the exception of the undead gnomes. At least as far as I know.

    What's the deal with differing army starting strengths? i'm playing a game as dwarves and getting bent over by rampaging zombies, just started another one as elves, and they start with over 3x the amount if units/army strength as dwarves and it doesn't look like they'll have problems with anything. Are dwarves just the masochist race?
