Sometimes it's hard to find a suitable spot but you played tigrans (like me) and they feel good even in the UG. ;-)

Thanks for the input, El_Lobo. My main problem with city founding is finding suitable locations for that and I'd wager you could agree that there weren't all that many spots screaming "settle me" in my vicinity^^

On another note, upon entering the game I wanted to first take a last look at the map and now I can't find the "View statistics" button any more. How can I make it reappear / view the statistics now?

What do you mean with develope? The units you can get through research? It depends on your tactic but in almost every game you'll use them as well. If you can produce units in cities and summon units with your CP based on mana income you'll get more units faster.

I played the first game with Akinos, the 2nd one with NubNub. We can play the last combination (me and Darthi against NubNub and Akinos) if everybody wants AND takes the time to makes his/her turnwithin 3 days. I am talking about a turn timer. ;-)

and what do you think of develpoe special units? Is it worth to do it?

t1, t2, t3 and t4 means tier x of the unit. When you click on a unit you can see the tier in the left corner. The tier gives information about the strenght of a unit. I produced a tigran cheetah (t1) at the beginning of the match because they have a big mobility and the pounce ability. T1 unit from halflings is for example the night watch, adventurer or the farmer. Nightwatch has a good physical armor and urban concealment. Very nice to guard your cities against scouts. The farmer can throw his chicken and has first strike. That's always a nice ability. I don't like the adventurer but that's just my opinion. Ponyrider and brew brother is t2 btw but you can't build them without building some structures in your city. When I play halflings sometimes I produce one or two nightwatches to make the start easier. Halflings die very fast especially at the beginning of a game. :-)

Thank you for feedback.
It sound very plausibel. I will consider it.
What are the t1 units? And what does that mean? "you could one-turn your racial t1" Especially "one-Turn"

The game is over and I want to give a short feedback to all of you because I think that can help you to improve your skills what leads to more succes what leed to more fun and so on. ^^

First of all I hope everybody has had a bit fun even if some players missed some turns.
The game ended in turn 46 and Darthi founded no city, Akinos founded one city and NubNub founded 3 cities. You need to found much more cities. I am not a player spamming cities (like DreadReaper, ask him for a 2vs2 and watch how much cities he founds) but I founded 9 in this game and the 10th settler was one turn away from reching the next settling point. I have had an income of more that 1000 gold since turn 42/43 I think.

If you take a look at the statistics you'll see that NubNub was close to me regarding army strenght, research and realm until turn 25/26. From that point on until the end of the game my realm explodes. At the end of the game I have had more than twice of NubNub's research, realm and army strenght.

So keep on playing, avoid losing your starting units and build more settlers. If you have problems clearing the sites at the beginning (in due to the strong defender mod) produce 1 or 2 t1 units and use your summoned scouts to split enemy groups. The first thing you should (normally) do is producing the builders hall, rush it and then you could one-turn your racial t1 (in most of the cases).

I'd like to hear about your point of view. :-)

Hey guys,

I am quite happy the game proceeds fast like it was in the beginning. I think it will come to an end within the next few turns.

Here is an example how to position defending troops...not! I can attack the town and have to fight only the stack directly next to the town.



That leads to this attack...



...and then this one.

Hey guys,

I watched this big battle and after that I have had a crash. When the fight was over and the screen faded out the game was closed instantly.

Akinos, if you post here that you'll make your turn this evening I will revert again. Otherwise we'll just continue and hopefully end this fast... :-(

Thank you for your sympathy

Hey Darthi,

nice to hear you. Of course I was a bit pissed because of the missing turns and lack of communication. It's good that you explained your situation. Take your time and just to best for your health.

Hey guys,
sorry that I have been awa that long.
But I had some serious problems with my healthness.
I made a post in July, wanting to know everyone of you what is up.
But on Saturday I have seen that the post just was for team mades. That wasn't what the post should look like.
I am still trying to get a little bit better and I will try to make my turns in future.
I enjoyed the group and also our last game. I'm not done yet.
Sorry for my bad informationmanagement in the past. That wasn't my plan. But there were other things in my head.

It worked, thanks for that Hili. But why? I havn't enabled debug mode when I started the turn.

Try with or without debug mode.

Now I can't enter the game. It says: You are running a different version of the balace mod 1.24.
I havn't changed anything with the mods. :-(

Hey guys,

I did 3 battles without a loss and after I entered the 4th battle the game crashed directly after the starting sequence ended. No failure message, just a frozen screen for some seconds and then return to the steam client. Very shitty because I invested about 30 minutes in that turn. I am too tired to try again this evening so I will make my turn tomorrow (again).

He didn't respond so we can continue with a turn timer to get that game to an end. There are some players in the BF looking for games so many options to play with players more reliable than Darthi. Sad story but thats it so far.

I wasn't sure if I'd get to do my turn in the next 17 hours / think if it soon enough, so I just did my turn to be sure^^

How shall we proceed regarding Darthi?

Sorry guys,
I have some priovate issues in the healthy way.
At the moment I haven't my hand not for doing my turns.
I#ve done some turnes in the last 4 weeks when I was able. But at it the moment it don't work.
I hoped it will become good again in the last time.
