I am tryiing out State of War, a browser based online wargame. I've only played a couple turns of one game, but it seems pretty decent. Simple, but with a little complexity. Games are not ongoing, rather you create one, play it, someone wins, then you can start over.
I think there is the ability to create private games as well. I know Habs would play - is anyone else interested in getting a 4-6 player Languish only game together? Probably use 24 hour turns?
http://www.stateofwar.net/
Yeah, that looks interesting. In.
I'd be interested.
I'll give it a go.
OK, everyone interested sign up and post your screen name here - apparently I need to invite you individually, or else it is open to anyone.

Ulmont - unsurprisingly, not taken.
This I will play.
GreyFox - surprisingly, not taken.
Will we play the WWI map? :lol:
Will do it in the morning when I am home. Or later tonight.
I'll give it a go.
Strix of course.
So far:
Berkut - Berkut
Strix - Strix
Habbaku - GunNut
Darth - ?
Grey Fox - GreyFox
ulmont - Ulmont
ehrie - ?
Strix of course.
Mine is rather easy to figure out.
Count me in.
Tonitrus - Tonitrus
OK, I went with the first 6 people to send me an actual screen name.
Game is started, you should be able to log in and accept the game.

While I think that would be a lot of fun at some point (especially if played semi-historically), I think the map Berkut has selected is probably for the best for our first game.
which one did he pick?
You can actually look at it once you've accepted the invitation to join, but I'll post it here, too.

All I can see is "Game in construction, please wait".
For those looking in, the colors indicate the players as follows :
Berkut : Red
Habbaku : Blue
Greyfox : Yellow
Ulmont : Green
Strix : Turquoise (Teal? Light blue?)
Tonitrus : Orange (I think)
Edit : Colors don't entirely coincide with what's on the map, oddly. Changed slightly.
Map sucks.
I'm in, as myself.
Scipio.
Now there's a name that's never fucking available.
My handle is ehrie. If we have another six we can start another parallel game.
I think you can play more then one at once anyway.
The game has started--get your moves in!
Strix is our first asshat. Congratulations!
Why sign up for a game you don't want to play?
What's the setting/location/goal/era/strategy behind the game? The map is little help.

Isn't that the languish way?
I wouldn't really care that much except that now the game is going to crawl until someone eliminates him.
Hey Strix, if you don't want to play, could you at least just surrender?
Just it automatically go to the next round if we all complete or turns...or does it stick to the cycle?
I believe it completes the moment everyone submits their orders.
If Strix fails to submit orders or surrender by the end of the current round, I suggest we start over and find another player.
Maybe we should give him another chance!
The worse thing is that he looked to be into it. He was even logged in when we got the first email & he sent me a private message.
I think we should start over with a different sixth person.
I volunteer to play one round then quit next. :P

Sure. Get Berkut to close out this game or whatever so we don't get an email about it every day at 11, though.
My turn is done. It's the last song of the Swan.
:)
Right, so Ehrie looks to be our sixth. I suspect his name on the State of War website is 'Ehrie'.
I suggest Berkut start us up quickly and just shut down the other one.

DO we want to try out the random map generator?
Nah, but we should probably find something a bit smaller than the one we just "played" on. Maybe half that size?
Game's up. Just need people to confirm and we can start. :)
Strix apparently had some PC problems, and is now posting.
So we have two games going...
May as well restart the one with Strix if he wants to play--his position, three turns behind the rest of us, isn't exactly ideal.
We cannot restart - you are rated for points for these games, so "losing" loses points, so you cannot just bail on a game.
I think if we all set each other to allied, the game will end however.
So we're "allying" out of game 1 for sure?
And I am all for random maps. Screw ugly "balanced" maps. (yes, I am serious)

I think allying out of game 1 is the way to go. Offers sent.
Yes, sorry about that guys. We had a lightening strike hit a telephone/power pole near my house. It apparently sent a charge through the phone/cable wires because it fried my cable modem and ethernet card plus one of my television sets. I worked all day Monday, so I wasn't able to get a new one from Time Warner until Tuesday.

That happened to a couple of old-school modems my parents had back in the day.
Berkut, who are we waiting on for the 2nd game to start?
ehrie
OK, we are starting over with a randomly generated (and hopefully smaller) map. Unfortunately, we can only have a max of 6 players for some reason.
That means everyone should go accept their invitation somewhere around...now.
I have: accepted.
Now we are waiting for Greyfox, which is odd since it says he has logged in since the game was created.
He must be a cylon, everybody get him.

Great, now put your move in. :P
Done, I'm a little confuse about what happen to the other game tho.
And now we are waiting waiting waiting in 1 player. Again.
I want a game where once everyone but 1 player is in, the clock is cut in half or something.
Trying to take my turn, but it keeps getting stuck at the "Processing, Please wait, Loading data from the server" screen whenever I try and take an action.
There, finally. Took six tries. I probably forget something in there trying to get the blasted thing to work.
Out in the sticks with bad cellphone service and worse wireless internet. If I can't unfuck this router soon I'll be spotting you guys a turn or two.
Don't think you have much to worry about, stateofwar.net has been down since last night.
the website still down for everybody?
Seems to be.
...another typical Languish game.
A typical Languish game doesn't involve the server cras--...Nevermind.
Looks to be back. Though it cost some of us a turn. Bah. Habbaku, PM me here with what you tried to send me in game. The message is cut off and I can't figure out how to view all of it.
Pretty sure on my last turn, it poofed a couple movements and builds (along with the resources).
It was saying I was "not done" even after I hit "done" and was letting me edit/cancel moves and such for a short while.
So, be careful if this happens to you.
Is there a way for outsiders to see private games?
Thanks to this tread im now trying it out in 2 games. First im hopelessly behind but learning a lot, second I wasted a lot of resources but doing not bad. Fun game :)
Just FYI, GF, messages get cut off after the second sentence or so. It's best to just PM stuff via Languish.

The Trade Republic of Habbakuia declares itself neutral in all hostilities. Our armed forces are not up to the task of more than mere border patrol to make sure refugees from the dirty (yet honorable) nations adjacent do not sneak in and intermix with our populace.

I can't think you liked what you found on the other side of that hex you took. :P
You mean Mount Clusterfuck?
Ulmont, now would be a good time to scoop up the Eastern mountain regions of Berkundia.
I do find the map configuration very interesting, though. Lots of open plains and scattered forests...and then a big ore/clay region in the center, ensuring that whoever dominates it will have an upper hand in their economy.

I'm starting to understand why you stayed the hell away from there.
And this is the first war occuring? These open games are too wild west it seems. Well, no surprise there.
If anyone has more time or wants to put his case of casus beli forward the zoomed in map would be awesome :)
Problem with a zoomed map is it reveals all, army placements and whatnot. I'd post one, but then Berkut would learn about The Pain(TM). He should find out about The Pain(TM) in a way I see fit. :menace:

Yeah, this is the first real war. I came to a border delineation agreement with Ehrie early on, but the map is very spread out, allowing the players ample time to establish themselves before any serious brawls developed.
The war, as usual, is over resources--every player's starting location had 1 ore and 1 clay spot adjacent to their citadel. The only other ore/clay resources are smack in the middle of the map, creating quite the incentive to race there, establish yourself and fend off the others.

Who fired the first shot is not really relevant - who sent their troops into the others area in a very un-neighborly land grab even when they had plenty of room to expand elsewhere is the point.
You started this war, mores the pity.
Others area? I mean sure there were some ugly women in the border regions, no doubt ethnic Bergundians, however the border areas are clearly meant to be my holdings. Not my fault you went running around the beach in the cold frosty north in the beginning of the game.
Those central mountains only matter to those who greedily seek the means to inflate their war machine. The Tonitrian Commonwealth only made such a move in that direction (and a bit late, at that), in order to ensure it's security against potentially aggressive neighbors.

It is unfortunate that my allied have elected to passively allow this aggression from Ehriestan to go unchecked.

I think if someone accepts the trade, it disappears for the others (but the message stays).
So, let's see...Habs the trading and Tonitrus the Whatever are both well on their way to a victory through gold, huh? Next game we might want to increase the amount of gold needed.
Well, it's not just raw gold on hand, I think you have to made a sizable amount more gold than anybody else to achieve that kind of victory.
So you have tried bombardment. Is it effective on unit stacks without a castle or can you better just assult them?
It seemed to do a point of damage or so to every unit, and knocked down his castle 1 level.

After receiving disturbing reports from the Ulmontian observers, it has become clear that the soldiers from the Federated Lands of Inner Berkundia have been engaged in repeated atrocities. In addition, there are other reports of intrigue between the Berkundians and the Ehrians against the Dominion of Ulmont.
Accordingly, it seems that the Dominion has no choice but to seize certain Berkundian territories to create a buffer zone.
Ahhh, the most base treachery from our "ally", very disturbing to see such a move from ulmont and ehrie.

You offered me a truce in exchange for rows of territory. I tried to end it without any more fighting between us.
Right - you tried to end it with you in possession of all the disputed territory, and refused to even negotiate. Shrug. It's not like you came up with any kind of counter-proposal.

Anyway, it is clear your word is worthless.

It's a medical condition.
If I wanted to send such an ultimatum, I would simply say "Hey, I am going to have to go after you if you don't go after ehrie". If course, you are leaving out your response, which pointed out that you were not bordering ehrie, and my agreement that war between you two wouldn't make much sense.
I have given very reasonable peace terms to Ehrie, which include his halting his aggression against Berkundia.

If I accept, I die at the hands of Habbaku. If I don't I die at the hands of Habbaku, but take you with me. Remember when this all got started and your reason for attacking me to begin with is you felt you were going down and might as well take me with you? Well, :P
No, if you accept you can go fight Habbaku without needing to fight me. You at least have a chance then. You have no chance if you just insist on hanging on to the anvil that got you into this mess to begin with.

You can set the time limit for each round of orders. Our game is set for once a day, so if you don't get orders in it just moves on without you. But, if all players have submitted orders, the server just resolves them and starts the next round immediately (so 24 hours from the last time all players submitted orders).
I'm sure you could set a thrice a week game if you wanted.

You're in the exact same boat I'm in. Once you realize that we can talk. We fought an inconclusive war, you don't get to walk away with 15% of my tiles because of that. Your fate shall be the same as mine. :P
On a side note, stateofwar.net down again? The link to our game in my profile is not working.

No, I am not - you hold the territory that started this war, so in fact I am not in the same boat. I made an offer to resolve it, you rejected it out of hand, I made another offer that was ahlf the previous, you rejected that as well.
Clearly there is no dealing with you, and even if I agreed to a cease fire on 100% your terms, you would likely just break it anyway, since you are not willing to deal in good faith. I have proven my own good faith by making several offers to resolve the issue amicably.
So we will both go down because of your stubborness. Shrug.

No, if you accept you can go fight Habbaku without needing to fight me. You at least have a chance then. You have no chance if you just insist on hanging on to the anvil that got you into this mess to begin with.
Stubborness is not a strategy.
You're in the exact same boat I'm in.
No, I am not - you hold the territory that started this war, so in fact I am not in the same boat. I made an offer to resolve it, you rejected it out of hand, I made another offer that was ahlf the previous, you rejected that as well.
Clearly there is no dealing with you, and even if I agreed to a cease fire on 100% your terms, you would likely just break it anyway, since you are not willing to deal in good faith. I have proven my own good faith by making several offers to resolve the issue amicably.
So we will both go down because of your stubborness. Shrug.
I hold territory you deemed was yours....because? I came in the third turn and offered you a white peace, your counter offer was 15 tiles of my land you felt was yours for some Hodforsaken reason. Once you see battle results of your attacks on my forts for this turn hopefully you'll see some reason. Ulmont, any resources you can spare I can pay in gold. I'm drained trying to repair eveything.

It's okay. Say if you achieve victory while I'm allied to you do I win too? :P

With no answer from the corrupt regime of Ehrienreich, the Trade Republic's army has no choice but to press further into the heathen lands.
I can only assume that Ehrie is taking a page out of the Soviet handbook here. "No War, No Peace!"
Part of your terms was to end the war with Berkut, something he wants nothing of.

Nice one, since I am the one who keeps proposing a peace treaty, which you keep rejecting.
Indeed - No War! No Peace!

You ran up, snatched up a bunch of territory you knew would cause a war, and now you would rather be wiped out than let go that death grip?
I think I already pointed out that stubborness is not strategy.

I took available land. I had no idea you'd go all sweet sixteen over a couple of hexes, no. Maybe instead of attacking me you coulda, you know, sent me a PM. Crazy, I know.
Yeah, I can certainly see how well that would have worked, considering your current "Not one step back!" 'strategy'.
You had ample opportunity to talk to me before you started hurling boulders. Peaceably I would have been very agreeable to a shift of some kind, but you had to start hurling boulders. Matters not, we'll both be on the sidelines pretty soon.

Oh hell, we'll all be on the sidelines. Habs pretty much has this game in the bag.
Bravo languish!
We need another game going.
I'm going to invite some peeps at random.
Went to look at the game we had going, and it seems the entire game poofed this time, with all of us being marked as "defeated".
Beta indeed. :P
Le sigh. I tried to warn you all that your war against me would result in your defeat, but did any of you listen? Of course not.

Oh, well. I declare victory.
You probably were going to win. Maybe. Probably.

After I rolled it to the next turn, moving a couple units, not moving one, it seems to have given territorial control retroactively...thus safe.

This map's starting situation kinda sucks, in that you -must- do the 3-for-1 trades with the "computer" in order to get the wood/crops to start building villages/towns. At least you start out with a good income of clay/ore/gold to accommodate that.

Tonitrus is talking about the Europe map.
Yeah. I put out a bunch of trade orders that would be less painful than the 3:1 automatic trade things, but nobody was responding, and apparently you only get two trades per turn max or something. The trading system kinda sucks. It's like a gimped version of Civilization. I like the Civ version, complete with shouting and screaming, much better. :cool:

Backstabbing bastards.

Unwillingness to leave an enemy right at my back combined with a sneaking suspicion that you may not have my best interests at heart? :P
The way the game handles alliance is in need of major improvements.
Yeah, I think alliances need to be a bit more binding than they currently are.
I also dislike the total war nature of the combat system--there is relatively little incentive for a group not to just roll up an entire neighbor if able to, aside from the fact that any other neighbors are likely to take heavy advantage of the distraction.
Nonetheless, the game's fun.
Ulmont once again betrays me and builds up for an attack! But this time I knew it was coming due to an effective intelligence network, and I was barely able to launch a spoiling attack in a desperate effort to keep him from rolling ever me in his traitorous manner.

We very much respect and appreciate our northern neighbors and their corteousy in regards to our mutually de-militarized border regions, and hope it can remain that way.
The Southern Sect of Sectarian States of Ehrgaria are watching this situation closely and remain appalled at King Ulmont's treatment of the downtroden Habbackan civilians in the occupied territories. Cries and wails can be heard from the fertile plains. The smell wafting out of Fort Martinus in the Unwashed Masses of Berkundia is nearly as offensive.

The King is most confused by this report. There are no more "occupied territories" after the Treaty of Round 29, signed just outside of Castle Habbak; there is only those lands rightfully ceded to the Dominion of Ulmont.
As for the cries and wails, the hand of the Dominion lies but lightly on the aforementioned lands; any wretchedness found there is but the Habbakians quaint folkways, which they have mercifully been allowed to adhere to.
Oh, Perfidy and Treason Most Foul!
Our Erstwhile Brethren, the Southern Sect of Sectarian States of Ehrgaria (or S4E for short), Have Most Cruelly Stabbed the Dominion of Ulmont in the Back!
We Demand that International Observers Condemn These Actions!
We Demand a Strongly Worded Letter!
It is a sad day today. A State of War(lawl that's the name of the game!) nowmust exist between the SSSSE and King Ulmont's Dominion. Many are the reasons, his treatment of the native Habbakans, really wanting to get away from whatever is going on in Fort Martinus, and the callous penetration of ulmontian armies into heart of the peaceful nation of Berkundia has forced my hand. It will be a limited war. Restoration of lands lost in the last war to Habbakan supremacy, couple of those nice slay producing hills and security for our western neighbor.
Point of Order, as the border incursion was in the South, we respecfully request a stabbing in the foot is most appropriate.

His word, like yours, is largely worthless. Doesn't mean you cannot make a deal with him of course, you just can't trust that he will go through with his end.

The Tonitrians are dismayed that the entire world has descended into the dark inferno that is war.

However, the Tonitrians operate in silent contemplation, and extreme judiciousness in matters of diplomacy; especially as it pertains to the fateful decisions of war and peace. ;)
OMG! Tonitrians are Ents! Get em! :nerd:
While maintained previously, as an unspoken courtesy to our neighbors; the Tonitrians, due to economic necessity, will no longer recognize the need for unoccupied zones of demarcation along the entirety of our frontier.
Our farmers need land to plow, and our cattle pastures in which to graze.
We would be regretful if our neighbors should misinterpret this act as a sign of aggression.
People who don't answer messages make me nervous.
People who violate neutral zones make me REALLY nervous.
Of course, you didn't say which neutral zone you were violating. I expect if this is not intended as an aggressive move towards the poor Berkutians specifically, I will be getting some actual communication assuring me of that shortly...

Ahh yes, fair enough then.
We will be dividing the previously neutral space in some equitable manner, I assume?
Being that the Tonitrian lands are rather modest in comparison to the other nations of the world, we feel it to be fair to take control of all the unused, and neglected lands along the borders of both Berkutia, and the Ulmontian Dominion.
The Tonitrian Armies stand ready to assert the justice behind this view.

I'm not going to get a third browser just for a browser game.
I don't blame you. Why spend the extra money and take up all that valuable disk space for another browser to play a browser based game. It's easier to wait until the Beta progresses to the point that it accepts the browser you're using now. :)
I caved in and installed Firefox ad messages still don't work. :ultra: :ultra:
Sorry, Habakku, whatever offer you're making I'm unable to see it.
I swear, ulmont is hax0ring. Where are all these armies coming from? :P

The Dominion of Ulmontia is not short of Young Men* Willing to Die For the Fatherland!
*also old men, women, and children.

When you build that many castles, it's easy to raise/pay for a ton of troops.
Caligaria is a peaceful land of farmers. Please do not attack us, and we shall be your: breadbasket.
Apparently Tonitrus has a rather loose definition of "border areas".

ehrie, similarly, seems to have a very loose definition of "Habbakian previous territory."

Meh, that is just war. If you don't agree to a deal, then everything becomes fair game.
As far as I can tell, Tonitrus did not attack ulmont
ehrie, so there is clearly a deal there. Looks like we have a world war.

I didn't think they were in contact in any meaningful way?

Sorry, I meant you, not ehrie.
You and Tonitrus make a good team - two people who have no ethics. Like Hitler and Mussolini.
Me and Ehrie are clearly the Western Allies, while Habbaku is the untrustworthy Stalin who we happen to like anyway.
Ehrie is a treachourus Bastard. You should fully expect to be stabbed in the back Berkut.
If Ehrie, in his current position, were to stab Berkut he'd only be ensuring that they both lost.
Meh, being that I had no relations with the Southern Bloc at all, I figured that after they rolled over Ulmont, their alliance would more likely roll over me next, than bother with a 4-way alliance victory.
This game has to finish in warfare in the end anyway. ^_^

Not a chance. Berkut still has a stack on my border and ulmont is still very much in the game now that Tonitrus pulled his little Mussolini on France move.

I was about to peace out with ulmont, but now that you are rolling Berkut I have to keep it up against him. Habbaku, how much longer you plan on sitting in those trenches down there? :P
The ownership on the map seems to have bugged again.
Yeah, the map is all borked up.
And, now, it's dead with a defeat (presumably for all). Goddamn beta.
That's Karma baby.

Shit, I wasn't doing anything other than holding the defensive line, I assure you. The Führer (or, if Tonitrus prefers, Il Duce) was already staking out his favorite bunker.
Bah I'm done with this game until that bug is fixed.
It seems to be triggered by a gold amount.

Huh. I hadn't realized someone was hoarding quite that much.

So, did Habs crash the site until he returns from vacation? Damn thing is still down.

Back up now.
Cal...if it weren't for having to move my armies all the way across frickin' Africa, I'd invade you just for wasting all that good land/resources. :P
Lucky for you, I am busy trying to wipe out the German menace. :menace:
Us Turks are developmentally challenged :)
Cheater? Strix, how in the hell did you build 16 units in a space with no Fort in them in one turn. The space is cut off so there's no way you moved units there from another space. Nevermind the fact that the stack limit is ten in a single space.

Could some of those be yours?
In my war, I've had my units sharing a space with ulmont's, while he still "owned" the hex.
And the stack limit seems to be broken often, and the game seems to allow for that in it's turn-based limitation (you cannot camp/repair an army if it's over-stacked, for example)

It's actually your fault. I had units attacking you from outside the main attack hex in question. When you defeated them it retreated everyone to the same hex.
And please finish your move Ehrie! :D
I'm so done with this game. 2nd time in the Europe game not a single one of my build orders went through and only about half of my movement orders did.
It is a feature, command confusion. You need to build more technology centers.
:huh:
I agree, the game is likely too much in "beta" for much more future use, though I won't be against it.
However, I'll definitely continue the current games, and those of you who have "quit", could at least do the others the courtesy of retiring from the current games so we're not waiting on non-players.
That is the problem with playing a map of Europe. Everyone loses the trade war to the US in the end. :lmfao:
On the bright side (for me), I am going away on vacation for a week, so would have hated to quit or hold up everyone's turns.
The Turks have lost Egypt. :(
I was two turns from winning an actual trade victory. :bleeding:

Yes, I think games bug out if someone drops early.
Oh wait, the game is over?
Ok, the Ottomans win then. :)
I thought I had turned off trade victory when I started the game.
And my military juggernaut was unstoppable. :mad:
Ok, on the one remaining game, I can get State of War's main page to load but clicking on any of the tabs brings nothing up.
I think we ought to revisit this game in like 6 months assuming the guy who runs seems to be trying to get his shit together in the interim. :mellow:
The game seems to be rather broken. Berkut conquered some of my territory even thugh we were allied. :huh:
No,I conquered some of your territories because we are no longer allied. A subtle difference.
Quote from: Berkut on August 23, 2009, 10:54:14 AM

So you moved troops into my territory while allied, then ended the alliance and absorbed my territory? Shouldn't there be something like a declaration of war in there somewhere? Seems rather broken.

ACtually, what happened is that I moved troops in because I forgot we were allied, and then I was on vaca, so didn't really understand what happened to my troops or why they didn't attack (I actually thought you just crushed them or something - I was momentarily rather impressed), then when I realized what the issue was I cancelled the alliance, not knowing what would happen.
I would tend to agree that there should be some kind of notice or something.
