Atlantis 3.0: Times 72 From: Geoff Dunbar <gdunbar@atlantis.prankster.com> Date: Sun, 09 Nov 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Subject: Atlantis 3.0: Times 72 Atlantis 3.0 Times December, 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Email admin30@prankster.com with game issues. Visit http://www.prankster.com (or email atlantis@prankster.com) for information or to join. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WILDERNESS NEWS -Life out in the boonies has it's advantages but not having a whole lot happen can be incredibly boring. -For those factions who think that all 200 of us are actually interested in those 4 page battle reports that are posted in the times, you are wrong. I will have to except the one posted by The Megolomantic Midgets last turn. I do not know of the factions but it was amusing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clan Myhkul (347): Much has been learned from the first battle of the Clan. Future Cohorts must be better trained and provisioned, or such costly losses would sap the strength of the Clan. Then the aid and support given by our generous allies would have been wasted. The tribe involved have every right to set thier own path though the world of Atlantis. If the honest efforts of our envoys were so poorly received, they the Clan would have to rely on the swords and valor of its warriors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lady Mara was watching EDEN 5 from her personnal balloon, when the usual chime rang. LM: Welcome Great One, you are in time to watch the battle GO: There is no time for this, you must come with me; the assembly has sent other Great Ones, you must meet them. Let these fools play hide and seek with the demons. LM: Let me recover the staff of lightning, then GO: I'll make some more staves, it is of no consequence LM: But this army will die ! GO: We both know you have other troops, better troops, and money, hidden do not try to fool me, and with the new discovery, armies means nothing now. LM: Your will , Great One ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Grand Assembly of Learned Elders (GALE) As the Nameless "invincible" army faced real opposition for the first time, they tried to run away as fast as their shaky legs could carry them. A couple got away, but the rest was vicously slain, as the others will be as soon as they are found. If you have any questions about GALE or if you're interested in joining the largest and most resourceful alliance in Atlantis, please contact me at m96thd@student.tdb.uu.se. Tomaz Roses On White Lace (91) GALE Grand Elder ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Black Hawk Society It is payback time. I will assassinate spies where ever I find them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please Geoff produce a grafical interface !!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Chosen of Cthulhu (40): Below are two of the large battles uncle's balrogs fought with the 70's this turn.

He's such a nice guy... Paulo, Parrot-Man of The Tribe (123) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Having unexpected free time, I'll respond to the one man discussion of war and magic being too powerful. Nonsense. I spent a lot of turns watching my war troops getting throughly pounded by opposing forces with weapons and transport that I mostly lacked. A trade-5 faction will never make the world tremble alone, but any position without trade support is doomed. The key is to work togather, war has to provide support to trade and magic, which in turn support war. As a mainly war faction, I can survive the way cockroaches do, but without the support of trade I cannot prosper, and without the assistance of mages I can at best only grind down the enemy. Some might say (and have) that mages are able to conduct war without any help. Again, I disagree. You need the initial support of war to maintain mages, magic is a heavy net money loser, and mages take time to develop. I'd happily throw away a couple of thousand trained and equipped troops to take out a mage, troops are much quicker to replace. The relation of war troops to mages is rather like the difference between infantry and artillery. War can hold the ground that mages can only clear. A force composed wholly of mages is always vulnerable to the enemy and is unsuited to any defensive role. -Marcus Greek Clueless Newbies (101) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All is well in the south. We now have a new friend there. This is good to here Gilles. Take all the Flying Fish out of that land so our friend and Don, representative of the Brehtren, can work together, uncrowded by the fish. It shall be done next month. A one month delay. Why? To collect our units Sven. Ok Gilles, so long as our friend in the south has a way of knowing... -'Da Fish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fist of the White Lotus (4): A member of the 70s bandied about the number of 2000 men last week as if it was a lot of men. Hmm... It was, undoubtedly, at one time, and it probably still is for many. However, it's interesting to see while the games progresses how amounts of men that would have been awe inspiring at one point are now just a pittance. I've bought more than 2000 men in many recent turns. All the men I bought last turn: Fist Courier (46720): Buys barbarian [BARB] at $56 each. Fist Corps (46721): Buys 10 leaders [LEAD] at $128 each. Fist Soldiers (46810): Buys 558 high elves [HELF] at $72 each. Fist Soldiers (46869): Buys 435 plainsmen [PLAI] at $72 each. Fist Soldiers (46925): Buys 559 high elves [HELF] at $68 each. Fist Soldiers (47486): Buys 624 nomads [NOMA] at $76 each. My buying was limited to a handful of pop centers where I have a lot of silv and can buy large quantities of men, but I did break 2000 total. I don't believe I will this turn, but it's really because I don't need that many men for anything this turn, as I could certainly afford it. 10000 men killed would be a respectable number, but 2000? Yawn... It would have been a drop in the bucket for me, and I doubt I'm alone in this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Up
