... I was wondering why the attack felt a little light. I'm sorry to hear that.

Actually... that is awful. I'm sure you spent a tremendous amount of time on the turn.

Actually I should reveal that I have a secret alliance with the Amazons and we are going to team up and destroy the Argathian beasts. We were just waiting for them to expose themselves. Ya... ha ha.. some ally you think you have.

My clever form of dece... honestly will undo your alliance... which uhhh doesn't even exists!

Hey guys,

I wonder if we should declare some time limit on this game, like 5 or 10 more turns. I'm happy to keep playing properly as long as you two want to, but I also think the outcome is increasingly clear. I'll do what I can to stop Caelum's hordes, but there's not much more hope any more I fear...

I'm really pleased with how I played the early and mid game in this game. My late game, though, has been terrible - my excuse being that I've never got to late game before, so I'm effectively a newbie. I was hoping that mass castings of remote strike spells would be sufficient, but really they're just gnats. It seems that Tartarians and the like are the way to go.

I do find the late game very odd. Armies kind of feel pointless - even Caelum's largest armies I think I could wipe out with a concentrated attack of Ghost Riders, with half the commanders killed first by Infernal Disease or Earth Attack. Given that, I don't really feel inclined to build armies up myself, so I'm not really sure what to do.

Anyway, like I say, I'm happy to keep playing, but I think it's likely I'll also be happy to concede fairly soon.

Heh,

I know the feeling, I had hoped my large armies of Ancient ones would have made a better accounting for themselves....its not so much that SC's are unbalanced...its just that Caelum has armies of SC's!!! (compared to Agartha anyway ; ) )

I'd like to keep going for now, Sure I'm in for an *** whooping but I'll take that with me to other games I will play in the future.

I'd say Agartha will be washed up in 10 turns or so...
