[SI AAR] Octopus Underlords - WE'RE ALL DONE!
We're about to start up our 6-man Solium Infernum PBEM game, so we can use this to tell our stories and bitch about how lousy our luck is.
I'll pre-emptively complain about my crummy starting position. Stupid hell.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
For those who aren't playing, we have all submitted our avatars and we are waiting for our first turn to be generated tonight. We'll be getting our starting positions tonight, after which there will hopefully be something interesting going on.
I have a truly wicked strategy planned. As I mentioned earlier, anybody who picks my same avatar picture will become my immediate sworn enemy! Mwuahaha! Fear me! FEAR ME!
In actuality I'm just going to try to stay alive. This is my first ever play-by-email game, so that ought to be interesting. I was disappointed by the AI in the single-player game, so I am looking forward to actually getting my butt kicked for a change. I truly don't expect to win this one, but I'll give it my best of course. Just reading through the strategy thread I've already realized some mistakes I have made (even just in avatar creation). I can still do it though. I just need a good starting position ... ah, who am I kidding?

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
If I contribute to this AAR, I'm going to spoiler my comments, since I know the denizens of Hell (especially these 5) cannot be trusted.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
'Slbroghast' sounds more like a demon lord than 'ZOD,' and I'm a bit of a role player like that.
Though 'KNEEL BEFORE SLBROGHAST!' still works.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Well, except for Razgon. Maybe your third eye is defective there, sparky. Or is that a horn, it's so hard to tell.Butterknife wrote: I can only assume it is Chaz. No other Underlord has the courage to use their given name. Cowardly swines! At least my nemesis retains some self-respect.
So me, Raz, and Butterball are pretty easily identifiable, and ZOD seems to be Silbrowhoozits (though I might just call him Neal). I'm going to take a guess and say that Archinerd is Drenichra and tgb is the High Sheriff of Hell?
I thought it was pretty funny when I saw "The staff of the regent has passed to High Sheriff of Hell" in the first turn log.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Its pretty hard to get out of a bad start, but it CAN be done. I like that it isnt like in Civ4 where you'r practically doomed (well, I am ) if I start out badly.
Here, you can just wait and scheme and lo and behold, the little demon no-one noticed can suddenly be contender.
I have another game where I'm in the top, majorly, and that sucks as well..since everyone wants a piece of me, so dont give up!

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
I will follow this AAR in detail. I would appreciate pictures and an explanation of what is going on. This AAR may be huge marketing material for the developer, so think of it as giving support.
I suggest the watchers of this thread spoiler their questions and indicate which person who would need to answer them.
May the most conniving evil bastard win!

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
I am indeed the Demon Princess Drenichra, which was supposed to be Archinerd backwards but my h and c got a bit mixed up. Oh well.
So my starting space is a little constricted, My Stronghold is right up next to a river. It's not so bad though, there are a few places of power nearby, one of which is very close. Pandemonium is also closest to me, so I can take it over if it looks like I'm going to lose the Prestige race... Did I say take over? I meant protect it.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
is this a new game?
from the SS it looks like a game from 1995...
edit: This sound really harsh after I read it again lol.
I understand that gameplay > gfx
Just a bit confused as to why in 2009 we still have 2d games?

It's an indie game done by one guy. Gorgeous graphics aren't really the draw for this one. I do think the portraits for the various legions and relics is very nice.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Let me see if I can give a general overview. This is going from memory, so I don't have any screenshots and I could have some details wrong.
In the center of the world lies the future Arch-Demon, known as Butterknife. I have a good starting spot, sandwiched between two rivers with a +1 and +2 Place of Power nearby, and two more +1 Places of Power within easy striking distance. To the West across the river lies Pandemonium -- the center of all things evil and one of the victory options (one I suspect Archinerd/Drenichra will have his eye on). Unfortunately for me I am merely a Marquis of Hell -- in this game one of the lowliest of the low in terms of starting power. Only one other player took such a lowly rank in order to start -- my sworn nemesis, Chaz/Chazztaroth.
To the South lies Chaz. He too begins in a good starting position, with a +1 PoP within striking distance of his first move. I'm pretty sure I can guess what he will do on his first turn. From there he has both me and Archinerd to deal with. He too is a Marquis, and thus has one of the weakest starting legions (as do I).
To the NorthEast lies the High Sheriff of Hell. Although he is my closest enemy, he is also my least accessible -- a river lies between us that is uncrossable for many miles in either direction. I anticipate little conflict because of this, but if one of us takes a large lead ... that could change.
To the NorthWest Archinerd. I fear him perhaps most of all. He has easy access to Pandemonium and several Places of Power, and a legion capable of destroying any he comes across. I have no idea which way he will jump first, but he may come this way ...
In the SouthWest lies ZOD/Neal/Slbroghast. He has access to nothing. I expect he will turn aggressive shortly, but anticipate that it will probably be towards someone else (he is awfully close to Razgon). He has few options for taking Places of Power, and that makes him unpredictable.
Directly West Razgon plots his machinations. Because of his close proximity to Zod I believe those two will have many things to ... discuss. I do not anticipate becoming involved in their dealings for now, although I have access if necessary.
In the Infernal Bazaar we find many interesting things. Chief among them is a cheap legion that I am sure will be hired quickly (the Iron Maidens if I recall correctly). Also key to victory are many artifacts and relics, not the least of which are 3 offering 1 Prestige per turn, and the Amulet of Greed. I anticipate some spirited bidding along with aggressive maneuvering through the first turns.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Somehow I missed this as it neared release. Probably because I wasn't looking. If it will run on my machine, and I can't imagine something so small wouldn't, I'll buy it for myself for Christmas. At which point I'll be hungry for some PBEM. Chances are there will be enough demand to have more than 1 game going.
I look forward to reading this thread and playing in my own PBEM game later.

Isn't 30$ a bit steep then?
I'd be willing to try it for maybe 15$ seeing it looks rather lackluster in features.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Which features is it lackluster in? It's got fairly unique and seemingly deep strategic gameplay. It's easily worth $30 to me. Just because the graphics aren't terribly whiz-bang doesn't mean it's only worth $15.Vorret wrote:I see..Chaz wrote:It's an indie game done by one guy.

But this discussion could probably be moved over to the big SI thread rather than in the AAR thread.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Prince Slbroghast, Beloved of the Damned, put the Tome of Homophonic Discordance back upon the high rostrum and stalked across the throne room. Minions scuttled to avoid his bladed and capriciously deployed stilt-like limbs -- over long eons such servitors had learned to gage their master's many moods and each well knew that today was a day for forbearance and caution. Approaching the massive window arch -- corbelled from the petrified vertebrae of a long dead land leviathan -- the eldritch Prince peered out upon the hot wastes of his domain and assessed his strategic position.
"Shit," he muttered. "Double shit."

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Publicly, turn two was fairly quiet, but what was bubbling under the surface?
Chazz has seized The Great Wheel of Pain as his own, earning him +1 prestige each turn. Butterknife correctly predicted that the Iron Maidens would sell well, and they went to the highest bidder High Sheriff of Hell. And a manuscript for Obsidian Skin was also bought from the Bazaar. On the map, Slbroghast has moved his legion South along the river separating us towards the bridge, possibly to take The Wall of Envy right out from under me... or is he on his way to The Temple of Lust?
And for the cheaters and those playing along at home:

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
The new turn dawns.
As expected, Chaz grabs the Great Wheel of Pain for +1 Prestige per turn.
I demonically chuckle at his predictability. On the other hand, Drenichra does not move at all! What could she be up to?
The scepter passes to me, and I draw an event card. It is demonically useful, or at least I wish it to appear so.
Zod heads south, towards the largest concentration of Places of Power and enemies. His aggressive behavior is not surprising either. tgb passes the ridiculously difficult +3 Place of Power and heads for a close +2. In addition, tgb manages to hire the coveted Iron Maidens from the bazaar -- surely wanted by many. At turn 2 he appears to have the strongest position ... temporarily.
Razgon's first turn is also predictable, as he heads for the nearest Place of Power (+1). Everyone is playing right into my hands ... except Drenichra! Why didn't she move? Her unpredictable nature tortures me ... I like it.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Butterknife, you might want to start using spoiler tags.
As already pointed out, I outbid everyone for the Iron Maidens (Iron Maiden???? EXCELLENT!!!), and Chazzteroth has taken the (temporary) lead by grabbing the Great Wheel of Pain.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Nice job guys.
Now, what are the chances we can squeeze an extra turn in tonight?
I'll say freely all I've done thus far is move toward the Wall of Envy (we'll see if I can steal it from beneath Drench's inscrutable nose), and demand tribute of my ever-loving vassals.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
Nothing major to report moving into Turn 3. Buttermilk, Assgone, and Drenchinyou have all grabbed places of power. But as anyone with any sense can tell, from my previous post, I shall soon be in command.
My Legions move forward as planned. Everything is in place.

Re: [SI AAR] Octopus Underlords
tgb grabs the Temple of Lust, the goal of his public objective. That will give him an extra 30 prestige if he can hold it until the end. Other than that, not much else happened, territory continues to be divided up, the land grab phase is coming to a close and we will soon be setting our long term plans in motion.
