Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[Japan (DoE)]

This is exactly how the computers meant it to be.... has an AI ever won a diplogame before? I support a reload, it will give India another chance to sign a peace agreement!

I'm guessing that unlike China and the Zulu, we need a Viking sub, yes? I guess it's a bit eurocentric to say that China doesn't need one, but that's Mongolia and Japan's issue to take up, and they haven't done so yet, so I guess they're fine with it?

I don't see the point of a reload. When your playing a sp game and the computer still moves before you and takes out some troops do you reload because the AI was being unfair? The AI doing this like this was something that we all must have known would happen. An AI does not follow the rules and for an AI to have the kind of civ that China is, that AI could be very dangerous. This is why I am strongly for finding a sub for china. I don't think that a civ with China's military power that is at war with another nation who's military tech is not even on the same level should not be controlled by an AI. I think it better if someone in game maybe from Europe or Africa can temp sub until a per sub can be found. Otherwise a reload would be pointless because the same thing will happen over and over again.

India, you'd better send a pm to Robert about the reload because by the time He gets here there will 5 more pages here

[Russia (DoE)]

They must know better what is going on with their allie.

Hehe, I doubt France and Neandor are thinking, "eh, Vikings, human ally or AI sub, whatevers..."

True, true. Forgot about that, sorry

[Arabia2 (doe)]

Arabia, you are missing the point: computational collusion. Next thing you know, the RNG is going to be handing out spear-v-tank victories like free kittens to China. It's game over, man, game over!

Yeah sorry, I got it.. later..

Viking player needs to be gone for at least 5-10 turns before talking as if he's gone for good though right? I mean Vikings are not at war with anyone, so they don't necessarily NEED a sub do they? Anyway if they are truly gone I would say just kick to AI and look for a sub in the meantime.

[Russia (DoE)]

It seems Arabia is in read-only mode too. Robert said he will check who China was and if he can check what is going on with him. He did not said anything though I cant imagine someone devoted to the game for so many time one day to wake up and just say "Hey, I'm not gonna play this game anymore", so I fear something exceptional happened to China

As far as Vikings goes, they sounded like pissed off, so no big surprise if he quit. Pity, but thats life.

What does this have to do with PYT not showing the turns right? Or Inca too is in write only mode?

About subbing I'm fine either way.. but I find it distrubing that players gone without saying a word :/. Is the Chinese player alive at all? Can we check who he was, so if they are just lazy to answer us at least we should know who is not welcome in future diplogames. (not welcome by me, others may be fine with it)

It seems you, Ottomans too have missed last turn. I did not, and China most defiantely didn't. I think anyone who got some disadvantage because of the pyt's error should get a reload, and since I can see India's land I know that they had lost 7-8 units which they wouldn't had lost without missing the turn.

If you check PYT you may notice that it had skipped 1822 AD. some players, like me have two finished turns between 1820 and 1824 while some of you, like India, Ottomans have only one.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

About Vikings, I said earlier that I felt he quit

About the reload, I am not keen on it as it will undo some favorable combat results for me , but I will respect the host's call obviously.

Another thing, if a whole turn did pass and nobody noticed because PYT was not functioning, then that would mean we ALL missed a turn right? That does not seem possible, since the turn was paused on turn 420 with 3 hrs left. We all played turn 421, then some weirdness happened with the timer where a new 24 hrs came on the clock, but the turn didn't roll. Then the turn actually rolled and now its turn 422. Last turn we played was 1820 AD, now its 1824, as it should be right? So where is the missing turn?

India is in a tough spot, fighting AI, who always faithfully plays their turn, they will prob need a lot of reloads because AI will always play, even when they miss an occasional turn.

[Arabia2 (doe)]

Arabia, do you know if the Viking player is just away for some time or they lost interest in the game? Because if this is only temporary thing, thats one, if they are gone for good, we have to find a replacement before continuing.

I don't know.. I just hope they would return and if not at least they would say goodbye
