Well, of course. But thanks to previous work of my high priests and Lizard Kings, I still had 3 dominion, despite lands further in having less.

It's just that cowardly snake running away. If he'd stuck to script, nothing would have touched him. Still had ten morale, as well. So, now my best Sauromancer is lost to the abyss. You'd think that if you had a second out... but no, I got the lizard with the courage of a filthy mammal.

It's the retreat that killed him. I did have a spare territory for him to move to, but apparently, the order of the battles left him nowhere to run to. That's what's so painful... Not only did he run, but in a way negating my twiceborn and my plans... Well, at least my chariots managed something.

Currently, duke_commando is winning the race for most entertaining comment. He's ranked first on the hidden 'humor' page of the score graph.

What a lame stunt to attack my army with a scout to stop it.

duke_commando
September 30th, 2007, 06:14 PM
i just did that to see your army...you can't stop an army with scouts as far as I know, since movement in friendly territory occurs before attacks. Thats why I attacked both the provinces on our border, since I wasn't sure where you were going to go.

Edit:
Actually i guess I didn't know the movement rules as well as I thought. I thought you had to be adjacent to an enemy province to attack it, since I've never been able to attack otherwise, but apparently if you've got a move 3 commander it becomes possible, even if your troops are move 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
So, sorry about blocking your army...i agree that it's pretty cheap, but that wasn't my intention.

incidentally, does teleporting/gating/faerie trod/whatever
onto an enemy army stop it as well?

Hadrian_II
September 30th, 2007, 08:42 PM
I think movement has some random elements to it, but a battle even with a scout can be able to stop the other army.

September 30th, 2007, 09:10 PM

If there ever was a pyrrhic victory...
by the end it was down to archers holding the line against Kailasa, having run out of arrows.

I kinda screwed up with the distances, my cataphracts moved up too fast so only one mage fired shadowblast like he was supposed to. Also the archers and the ethereal xbow man were too far back to shoot that arrowfend casting kinnara http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Who killed the forge?

Szumo
October 15th, 2007, 11:02 AM
I don't know who dispelled the forge, dispel is anonymous. I have my suspicions though. Offer for the hammers is still on though, I've spares http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, let's gossip. I'm hungry for news from other parts of the world, but I'll share a few things myself too.

War with the Yomi is in the full swing. I've repelled his raiders and started counter offensive, my thugs flying over his provinces and striking vulnerable points, with one of the armies getting as far as his capital (which is not particularly deep into his territory from my direction, though). The siege is on, but as his pretender and 2 Dai Onis, full magic gear and nasty army killing spells scripted - which i found by casting Call of the Winds at them, fortunately wasting most of their gem supplies last turn - are just one province away. Meanwhile though, with 2 other castles besieged by scouts with death wish, Yomi's recruiting ability is very limited, for a short while at least. A few provinces away a successful raid by 2 bane lords managed to capture province with 6 enchantress and slaughter the witches, as I'm sure most of you will hear with pleasure.

Mine and Yomi struggle has let Caelum catch the second breath. Now, with his capital free and provinces around being succesively liberated from Yomi grasp, while he's still in a weak position, there is a slight hope of recovery. Of course, such a recovery would require a diplomatic effort with winner of Agartha-Yomi war, and basing on my previous experience of Caelum diplomatic skill and attitude, seems quite unlikely.

A little beyond my eastern border Abyssia is continuing it's successful campaign against C'tis. It seems C'tis tried to eat something it can't swallow, specially now that rumors of Arcoscephale joining the fray come. Will they negotiate?
Perhaps other Arco or Abyssia neighbours will smell the opportunity for a back stab? Or will C'tis be destroyed whole, and if it happens so, will Abyssia and Arco start to fight each other over the lizards corpse as Agartha and Yomi did over bird one?

As the last piece of news, situation underwater still seems to be peaceful. R'lyeh and Atlantis have split the seas between themselves (though Atlantis has some holdings on the land too, i don't know whether R'lyeh does too). We ourselves have wondered for a while when this unnatural peace would end, but it seems both nations are too afraid to dare try to conquer all the seas. Or perhaps the frogs and the squids plotting together in collusion against all the land dwellers? We would welcome reports from other that support or rebut this theory.

That concludes the info from the north, let's hope others are willing to gossip too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In the southweast Sauromatia is engaged in a neverending war against the Kailasa and its foul otherworldly creatures...naked men who fight with the strength of 100 amazons, protected by enchantment, and surrounded by an aura so bright that our soldiers shy from striking them. Also some of them have decided to wear armor, and not just any armor but platemail. We have won both major battles, though the second only because of a communication error between their prophet and god which left their troops unblessed. We must also admit that we also made a grave mistake regarding the fatigue cost of sabbath master, leading to only one of four mages casting shadow blast.
Since every one of their troops is worth about 100 of ours, we suffer huge casualties, with the result that we are unable to press the attack, which means they pull more summons out of their asses. Also since they are summons, hurting their income doesn't do much, if any, damage. The end result being this war lasting forever.

Hadrian_II
October 15th, 2007, 03:16 PM
Kailasian troops where able to resist vicious attacks from sauromantian savages now since 2 years. There where times when it looked really bleak but now it is looking a bit brighter.
Also we have to inform all the other nations, that now would be the ideal time to strike sauromantia as they have commited their main army in the very south.

Lazy_Perfectionist
October 15th, 2007, 03:24 PM
On the diplomatic front:

As Ctis, the lack of scouts have dramatically limited my ability for diplomatic manuevering. I've only met 3 nations, two of which are conquering me. And I hear Agartha is quite busy right now. I'm not adverse to bribing someone to ally and take on either Abysia or Arcosephale. Despite the territorial encroachment, I still have a bit to offer- most of my casualties fall under the category of gold.

I've been avoiding engagement successfully for quite a while now while spamming leprosy with eyes of the void and spell foci penetration items- I think I took out about 1/3 of Arco's besieging forces. As an aside, did you know that Leprosy doesn't affect friendly forces- at least besieged ones.

I've pretty much brought Abysia's advance to a halt by virtue of fortress and city guards, but I can't keep that up for much longer, especially with a two front war. My gold income has just about dried up. However, since Leprosy had its chance to work and my research is nearing completion, I'm no longer content to sit back.

If not speaking Spanish is causing problems, then take some lessons- don't bug my *** to ***** about it for the fiftieth time.

Normally, I would let a single stall occur, or ask for an extension. But since I'm in the middle of intense negotiations, that just would not be fair to any of the parties involved.

The vile and greedy fatties of the underworld have come and claimed most of our lands under their rule of misery. They came and were victorious only to see the scope of the Oni's endless spite.

Our wisest sages foresaw our defeat, but we were not despaired. For they looked deeper into the future and saw that in time shall rise nation of Shinuyama and how they'll find way to call us back from the Land Beyond Death. They saw our inevitable return to the mortal world! Immortal as we are, we have closed the gates the world of Onis and retreated there to wait for the rise of Shinuyama. We will feast then..

The Sages also saw the pitiful future of the Agarthans. Sulking in their damp caves, doomed to extinction as they're too fat to reproduce themselves. The last Pale One will die old and alone, surrounded by some wimpy humans, while the mockering laugh of the Immortal Oni's rings in his ear even from the Land Beyond Death.

You have the lands of Yomi, but do you have? Pillaged and vanquished wasteland populated with few hateful and Oni-possessed peasants. Where labratories once stood, one can only find a huge crater nowdays. The great fortressess of Yomi have been taken apart by their order.. wait.. Can you hear that?

*GRUUUMBLE*

What's that sound?

Oh, it's just stomachs of the Pale Ones as they gaze upon our lands and find nothing to satisfy their hunger. We already ate all the babies you know.

How disappointing. You show mercy to a smelly frog nation, then they want to war with you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Some last Lanterns and Mentors left, i'm willing to let them go cheaper or for gems other than nature. Now is your chance to catch up in research. Waiting for your messages http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

He regenerated faster than your army damaged him, and your troops got lots of damage from plague spread by Woundflame which made them rout.

I vote that it is time to call this game quits. There is no stopping Agartha now. With all its research done there will be nothing for its mages to do except continuously create umbrals, and they have a higher gem income then everyone else put together.

Now that is simply not true. I'm using all my death gem income to summon Tartarians, not Umbrals http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I'm ready to give in as well...seeing as how one dude pretty much destroyed my whole army further resistance seems useless.

You got Antimagic before first Master Enslave, so it wasn't that bad, i think.
I'm learning a lot about endgame myself, though (on a normal scale, not crazy one like in Perpetuality).

dammit...I must've misclicked so the remnants of my army didn't move and promptly got owned again. Most of them were diseased anyway though.
Agartha will probably eat me pretty quick, but I'll keep going until that happens.

That Tartarian teleported on top of your army, and magic battles happen before movement, so you couldn't move away before battle.

My Hall of Fame mummified oracles keep dying though, i think it's perhaps time to stop bringing them back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Christmas break is coming soon, any opinions about how we should setup hosting?

Safest bet would be setting the game to quickhost only till Jan 2nd and then back to 48h, is everyone okay with that?

Sounds good to me except that I need to leave town from the 2nd to the the 3rd. So maybe extending quickhost till the 3rd?

Okay, I'll do that. Would someone like to volunteer to be the new admin since HadrianII has been eliminated?

It's looking like people are giving up on this game. That's sad in a way because I was just getting into it. I'm confident that, given time, I could defeat Arco and wouldn't mind getting into it with Agartha down the road.

My long war with Vanheim held me back for some time, but Arco gave me plenty of time to prepare after giving me notice. We were both spending time building up, but I think it benefitted me more. He would have been better off making a beeline for my heartland after the three turns notice, but he made a leisurely, methodical advance instead. My endless imps are just more than he can deal with and they've crushed 2-3 of his armies so far with slim losses for me.

The reason I'm saying all this is because I have to leave town for a couple weeks, starting Monday morning (eastern US). It's not fair to ask a sub to take over in these circumstances, so I'll be going AI soon. It's too bad people are giving up, but since I have to leave anyway, I guess it's irrelevant. Anyhow, NAP partners, be aware that I'm out soon. I have no significant forces near anyone but Arco, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Well, if you're out, i don't think there's any more sense in playing this game. Sauromatia hasn't really offered any resistance so far, and i doubt he can offer any significiant in the future.

So, do we end, do we come back to 48h hosting, or what?
Tbh, i wouldn't mind if you 3 ganged up on me now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

My plans fell through so I'm back home for now. If there's a big hue and cry to continue, I'd be happy to come back and continue the war with Arco and/or Agartha.

I'd love to pit my main army against Agarthas, even if it's just to see how we match up. It's not too late to redo my turn and unAI myself. Perhaps just the two of us could march our armies together and fight one titanic battle?

Yo guys, will one of you be admin? I will set the game back to 72 hours/give one of you the password ASAP, although I'm using a friend's laptop at the moment so it's very hard work to do anything at all.
