brkl Posted December 20, 2010 Well, you don't need to buy a key. I wouldn't be playing if I did. And apparently you don't need to invest a lot of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted December 20, 2010 You don't need a key to play a game that someone with a key sets up, as far as I know. As for length, I don't actually know but based on what people were saying about Neptune's Pride and how it's going so far in Blight for me, I would guess a few weeks.

brkl Posted December 20, 2010 Ugh, not having the key is nerfing play in a distasteful way. We should probably move this to Multiplayer Networking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainFish Posted December 20, 2010 What's the time commitment like? Do you need to jump in at all hours of the day, or is one quick log in every day good enough? Your story where you could actually increase your time resource really intrigued me, but I would hate to ruin a co-op game by not being able to act at midnight or whatever.

Gwardinen Posted December 20, 2010 So far (ie. early in the game, a few days in) once a day is enough. Theoretically if I really wanted to min-max I could see how long it's going to take each of my armies to move somewhere and set myself alarms to quickly log in and do stuff then, but practically I don't think there's enough going on that it'd really be worth it. That said, maybe a week in this game becomes crazy and you have to log in every three hours or you die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainFish Posted December 21, 2010 Well if that's the commitment I'd love to join in a Thumbs Fantasy Zombie romp. My nick is Captain Fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted December 21, 2010 I believe that puts us in for one more person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted December 21, 2010 There shouldn't be a problem starting play with one missing, apart from a small penalty to the tardy one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cult of Jared Posted December 21, 2010 I guess I could start the game with you guys, keep the bench warm for whoever comes after me. I'm moving soon though, so I probably won't be able to play for more than a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grufff Posted December 21, 2010 The sooner we can get a Thumbs game going the better. In my current game, we started off ok but now half the players have decided to stop fighting and are desperately grabbing as much land as they can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted December 23, 2010 Yes we are, sorry about that, last couple of days were a bit hectic and I gave my gaming time to simulations. Game Name: Immortal Thumb Keyword: fucknick I've set the difficulty to normal for now and it's paused until everyone is in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F4T C4T Posted December 24, 2010 Right, I'm in. My names Urist in game (when I signed up it seemed appropriate). Hopefully I'll get a chance to check in on this one more regularly than my previous ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F4T C4T Posted January 4, 2011 Typical! I've been waiting all last week for this to start and as soon as I'm back at work... This time I won't be caught out by the 3 day kick for not logging in like my last game. I emailed the devs about that actually as there was no notification about what had happened. It just said I'd been defeated when I logged in despite winning the last few battles that had been fought. I was quite confused as I didn't realise you could be kicked! I thought it would be like Neptune's Pride where either an a.i. would takeover or I'd just be over run with blight when I logged in. Anyway, the awesome guys at Iron Helmet responded with a tale of how the 3 day thing had got the better of them too and promised to improve it and gave me a free immortal key! So that's me sorted for this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
