This is an AAR of my most resent demise in a Multiplayer Game. Of course, when I started it, my plan was not to lose but oh well. Please feel free to give me some pointers on how I can improve my game. I hope you enjoy.

Great writing, I enjoyed it very much. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

As for pointers, well, I think attacking R'lyeh was a mistake. The starting location was really bad, though. A different pretender design would probably work better.

I really like the AAR. I had also planed to write an AAR for my next MP. But it will probably not be close to as good.

A good little AAR.

MA Man is a strong nation, it has alot going for it and many possibilites. Here is one based on stealth...

Bards, only 75gp, +30 stealth, can instill unrest, fantastic, recruit loads, get 4+ to every enemy castle, take unrest over 100. Your enemy can't recruit anymore. You have won.

Mothers 130gp, 2N 1A, stealthy, cool, research upto storm of thorns, put into squads of 4, script 5xstorm of thorns, should defeat most PD upto 30+.

Monks, 30gp, stealthy, can cast bless, can lead 10 stealthy blessed wardens into enemy lands. Can any PD defeat 10 wardens with a W9F9N4 bless? Or if you want decent scales try...E9N4.

Put all those together, plus plenty of longbows (wind guided of course, flaming arrows if your lucky) mix with plenty of lightning/thunder strikes...cool.

Great AAR http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I like how you even included your save vs Vengeance of the dead (at least I assume that is what you were describing).

Thanks...I am glad you guys like it. I have found some typos and minor errors but will try to do better next time. I cranked this one out pretty quickly and got careless I suppose. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Indeed, small world http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I haven't been there in several years. I miss Gulf Shores, Mardi Gras, seeing the Battleship by the causeway, what a great city! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You are probably familiar with the areas I grew up in...

When I was very young I lived on Azalea Rd which connects to Airport Blvd. Later we moved out to the country just on the other side of Semmes/Big Creek Lake in an area called Wilmer. (Close to HWY 98)

If I went back, I imagine I would not even recognize the place. Everytime I go there it is like the City spreads farther and farther out, swallowing all the pretty scenery and spitting out gas stations and shopping centers.

But so it goes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
