Wow Summerdale gain something like 23 nobles.  Thats like over 300% increase.  Almost 400.

Dwarf Fortress bump.

I do hope they stay . . . even if Summerdale is the enemy, more players playing BM is a good thing.

And this just means that another realm can join us in fighting them and we won't kill them too quickly!  More fun for all!

Yeah... now it's getting them all estates and waiting for the inevitable streak of "paused as a newcomer not likely to return".

I've been following the chatter from some of these nobles, and I suspect that quite a few of them will stay. I've even got one down in Barca (hey Masochist ;))

Dorfy greetings to you all,

Yeah... now it's getting them all estates and waiting for the inevitable streak of "paused as a newcomer not likely to return". 

Probably some of us will leave. Battlemaster does have a vaguely 1990s vibe to its web interface that can intimidate the unserious. But have you seen the convoluted 1980s interface of Dwarf Fortress? The steep learning curve and the patience required? I reckon a lot of us are sticking if we find some good depth to this game.

As for this war with Libero, it looks like a lot of FUN will be had by both sides. Although, what's the deal with the militia-stealing exploit? Seems like dirty pool to a newcomer's eyes, but maybe that's just how this game is played.

Info regarding the militia stealing: http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,2294.0.html


Basically, still a few bugs in the system.  They are going to be disbanded.

It was somewhat of a dodgy move, which is why this verdict was cast regarding it: http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,2294.msg51406.html#msg51406

As noted, the issue should be addressed. Libero should be disbanding the militia ASAP.

I encourage ya'll to not just be in Summerdale; explore lots of different areas in BM. It's a rich game with tons of different playing environments.

Anyhow, welcome to the game!

Well, I'm a fellow DFer, I'm just not new to BattleMaster. (BTW - can't wait for my dorfs to start riding mine-cart roller coasters!)
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

I can only imagine the new contraptions of death the creative community will come up with! lol.

I am glad to have found this game though. Bit slow pace but that's alright...I love it so far despite that.

Slow pace just means more time to think of ways to cause trouble.
