Octopus Overlords

...and the cowardly lion paced the land of two bridges taunting them, "C'mon, c'mon!".

turn 80 sent to Pyperkub.

Turn 80 sent to Ralph.

The forest creatures watched the cowardly lion, trying to guess just how many rats would be required to take him down as they slowly gathered just out of site (to the north... or is that to the east... west... south? probably underneath him, they're rats after all).

Feelin' the squeeze...
Turn 81 to Pyperkub

The last few turns I've run into an issue (presumably a bug) where I can't click on any troop stacks. Thus, the only troops I can move are ones that I can access via the "next army" button (i.e. those armies that are either new or were already moving). Has anyone run into this issue before? It's certainly making my counter-attack (such as it is) less effective than it could be....

Yeah, same here.

I don't think I'm having problems, but I am not sure if I have tried to move anyone who wasn't new/didn't move last time.

By new - are you talking about a whole stack w/ maybe just 1 new unit, or could you only move the 1 new unit and not the rest of the stack?

Dave - I'd feel sorry for you except I am considering this some small compensation for my misunderstanding/mistake that got my super hero killed (the guy/stack that would have had you all trying to kill me, instead of us all trying to kill you). :p

Might have seen it too. Will check when I get to my turn tonight.

I can't select a whole stack. The icon is there but when I click nothing happens. And, as far as I know, there isn't a way to select a previously un-moving stack. Maybe you could move a newly produced unit to the stack and then combine them? But most of the stacks I want to move are full.

Are you all still playing this game??

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah, the turn is stuck with me. Was fighting through some health issues and keep forgetting to get to my turn.

Feel better!

(From those of us watching the "excitement" and waiting to see who wins.)

Just wanted to acknowledge the 1st monthly anniversary of nothing happening. Stay jolly!

Just got a rather surprising email... TURN 81!

Turn 81 sent to Ralph!

I've sacrificed a couple more stacks to the great Maw of the SE.

I just got home from surgery and 5 days in the hospital. The "no visitors" policy really sucks.
It was a pleasant surprise to find turn 81, but then I saw the walls of my kingdom are shaking a bit.
Turn 82 to Pyperkub!

Recover quickly Dave!

Ditto!

I still have some stuff I need to work out with my gaming rig but I'll see if I can get to it soon so we can start rolling again.

Ditto the 3rd.

So ...

Who won?

We haven't gotten back to it.

Pyperkub - you get your rig fixed up?

Dave - you recovered, doing well? Staying healthy and outta the hospital I hope?

Pretty sure that I did.

Can't believe it, I actually got the turn back.

On the plus side, I now have to pay a lot less in upkeep. I did take out two of those giant skeleton/stone golem looking thing stacks at the bridge though.

And yes, El Guapo, you will be winning via transitive property.

Yeah, just forgot. New video card, monitor, more RAM. Still need to add another HD (couldn't find the mobo cables, so space is tight). Also need to find another mouse as I'm hopping back and forth...

Think those giant skeleton/stone golem looking things are wraiths (fairly tough).

And I finally got to kill something of Dave's! It's going to be a very short lived revenge and woefully inadequate, but I won a fight so I'm going to savor this moment.

I am still alive and paying taxes. Thanks for the concern. Good to see our game still has a pulse, too!

Very thankful to hear that! There's a massive deficit in this country, Uncle Sam needs your tax dollars!

The alive part and our game having a pulse are pretty cool too.

Such a cool game btw!

If anyone could post a screenshot(s) showing the overall situation, I wouldn't mind checking it out. I'm curious to see how I am doing!

Pretty good, you're in control of about a quarter of the map. You've also teamed up with green, black and white to take on dark red, although it's a bit of a stalemate.

Sweet! I'm doing great.
