technically, one cannot name characters if you have all your slots filled. So “replacing kidnapped characters” is an impossibility based on the program that we all know very well, thanks Frank for reminding us. You can help with more of your genius - which order was for recruiting Heavy Infantry again? Was it 325 or 475…? Please rub it in with glee when you’re able.

In the meantime, the DS are using (sharp intake of breadth) Agents to battle NG on Turn 13 as we remove them from extra-Mordor in their entirety. And burn within Mordor itself on occasion. Yes, we will be able to replace those characters before you’re able to replace those Cities and MT’s - sorry.

Seriously not sure why you’re so worked up all of a sudden.

  1. Dead Eo, look a few posts above, post #71

  2. Kidnapped characters. We said we can replace them faster than you replace your MTs. And we did, you kidnapped some guys and this turn we have more guys active than we did last turn (here’s a freebie! don’t be a bad sport now!). You lose pops and you end up the turn with less pops than you had the turn ago. What’s so difficult to understand about that? We replace our losses, you are stuck with yours.

Besides, start warming up because in two turns we get another 24 character slots :eek:

I hear that at the same time the pop centre limit is staying where it is - oh dear.

Look Gondor: Suddenly he’s disappeared…

Maybe he’s realized he’s being a fool and he’s clammed up until something interesting happens for his side. Sadly typical - spout off when you can then run to momma’s skirts when you’re revealed for the tool you are.

Earth to the opposition: buy real estate, good investment. Move out of momma’s place and have kids of your own. The bubble scare might be valid if you’re thinking in minutes…your play suggests such, so I waste my efforts, alas, I can only try to help.

#84

Yes, we found it refreshing. Stay away and begone with you.

#85

Rommel. Sad, you’ve chosen wrongly…again…

#86

Um…eh??? What game are you playing…exACTly…??? Nice to see how your early plans work out - they’re still following you in your later plans…? Shamefully, I know many of the players on your team…sigh…I thought I knew them, alas, I know them now…

#87

Sacrifice who to save whom…???

Gas man, you have no clue.

Cheerio~!

Hmm, many Freps-armies close to Mordor and much more characters inside of your castle.

Let’s see what they’re able to do!-

… but without a doubt, some of your PCs will have hard times.

I’m close to you old friend and I’ll take you out!
You really know that I’m not leaning out of the window …
… will get more interesting now!

Still not seeing this Eo comment I of course know it to be untrue and a bare faced lie but hey carry on digging!

Obviously you dont know the rules as one simple cannot replace a kidnapped character.

Yes you may have more characters, but that is not the question or the answer. As I said dig all you like but when faced with a fact thats not in dispute, the classic answer is to misdirect, I of course stick to the same point, wriggle all you like!

I will let our game do our talking and leave the insults to your side in this game.

But hey we are happy so as both sides are happy let us continue on our merry way and play the game out, it has a way to run.

Hi there Frank,
of course this game is more interesting than an indie-game … but I must say that I’ve expected a little more resistance.

For the “best player” you’re doing very poor, I’ve played against much better gamers.-

Now it’s going to be interesting around Mordor and I’m really intersted about the outcome.

Hey I watched with interest as one promised a good beating the last few goes but its not really happened.

We are indeed knocking out MT faster than you are killing our characters, well not to hard this go, I have to say but hey thats life!

Now since we have max characters, you have them, minus what we both have kidnapped, we have money, as do you, what makes you think this game will end soon?

Now of course its been boring as sadly I have been away for a bit and only just come back, have you not noticed its got harder, just a bit?

If you read back you will not I almost gave the game away when admitting I did not know what was going on.

Now I see its curse time all over, agents going at it and another wave theory to be tried out.

The end is some way off as you may gather prepare for a long haul of a game, I like to play with my food, did you expext it to be quick?

Now sadly I had a choice of playing or doing some charity work, that took me away from home for several months, but hey you will not find me so nice now I have returned!

Now as regards the worlds greatest player, hmmmmm, I think you will find that is not a title I myself have chosen, what others use is beyond my control!

Now as regards the busted mordor and the gondor threat, its a busted flush, now all those boys are dead who came and are following and why am I worried about those that now join the fray.

Why we have been blessed with dragons in this game and I cannot effect this but I sure can use it.

Your agents have suffered the luck we had at the start and the game swings, if you do not see that its not a done deal, then more fool you is all I would say.

Its summer the dark servants have mages and agents galore, the question is now who can win the long haul in such cases?

We shall find the answer out to this as we play, but hey you seem to think you have won, carry on if you think that so, it will make it easier for us.

Enjoy the game, or not, that is your choice!

If I played all 24 nations the DS would win 100% of the time. Clint’s numbers claiming relative equality are lies at the worst case, and bull**** at the best case. You were favoured 80% before we got our Turn 0 files - fact. Any FP victory is worth 15 DS victories. You are playing a team that hasn’t lost as the DS in various formats for 10 years.

You bore us. You have told us that we have the forum - prove it…and go away…

#93

Hmmmmmmm now I know you are rattled as thats pretty much a crock, tut tut, one should avoid lying and personal insults and keep it to the game.

No freebies from us on what we plan to do to you but since you want to play other games one can cater to your tastes as you like.

Now I am sure if you played all 24 nations it would be rather tough to win against a team, so whats the point, whose arguing it? Though I might say nothing is 100% just the high 90s.

Oh so we had a 80% edge starting as we did coming up to winter? I would simple ask you to prove it as I think its a crock myself, any team that plays the dark side will win 80% of the time? But hey its your view so you are entitled to it.

Now look no idling for a rematch with you as the dark boys as ytou are not getting one, I did take onboard what you said and it was noted.

You had the choice of nations first time, you have lost, you just dont know it yet, but hey prove me wrong.

On that note enjoy, I am having a lot of fun, contrary to what you may think.

I will now leave you to tell me what a beating you are giving me!

#94

There are no personal insults, we’re playing 1 game (game 19, you should look into it…), if I played all 24 nations I would certainly lose, winter is irrelevant when you use the obn to manipulate the broken market, we’re certainly not having a rematch - that was never in the agreement, good to see you finally state that we have lost, we know very well that you’re having fun - this is feeding into it - don’t you recognize when you’re being manipulated? And finally, “I will now leave you” is not technically a lie, as you didn’t specify a time frame around that, so I’ll leave that at that… :smiley:

#95

Hey I dont need to look into it and I think you have missed the point but hey lets agree to disagree.

As it happens for the first and only time being on the forum has given me no fun at all, make of it what you will.

Oh darn that was some trap, not sure to what end, but hey if thats how you enjoy it, go ahead and carry on.

Again you chose the good side, I took the dark side, I can really say no more on the subject, I dont think the dark side will always win.

Now if you are saying knowing they always win you wanted to gift me the win I find this hard to believe.

Or that you wanted to have only a 20% shot at it seems strange to me.

Not making any sense but hey who said it had to, you got your desire is all that matters, lets see how it plays out.

However I would prefer to think that the use of characters, armies and npc characters as well as artifact layout etc effects a game as much as anything else.

Clearly you do not agree, lets leave it at that and see who is right.

I had hoped you where enjoying the game but hey I can do little about that!

#96

Challenge. Our last DS games were too easy.

#97

Well now you have one or so it seems.

Enjoy

#98

Hey when was the last time you saw one of these?

I hope you appreciate just how rare they are and yet so easy to recruit if you know how

#99

What are you referring to?
Dragons?

Anyway, you’ll learn your lesson.

Balrog. IIRC, an DS army on a mountain does the trick, particularly close to the Dwarf cap or along the SG/Dunland mountains where the “A Balrog” roams.
