Lessons learned... (partially classified)

Agarthan PD of 5 > two Call of the Winds
Shatter works on Water Elementals (who would have guessed)
Draconians have a good strength value, and so do larger water elementals. They make marble oracles cry.

Wow. I was expecting Rl'yeh to pull a D-Day eventually, but this seems more like a d-day.

Still, there may still be some tricks up his tentacled sleeves.

Also - geez, that's a big AI Pan army. It's comforting to see that they're sticking to the plan I had with them before they went AI.

I'd considered letting you keep wasting your black hawks, but I couldn't bare watching the slaughter of such a noble species. Please, please, please stop casting it.

Three Great hawks and 60 black hawks. Three castings of Call of the Winds. They just got beat by five province defense (or 5 li, 5 mi).
15 gems < 15 gold...
Maybe against a less armored race... People have claimed Agarthan PD is horrible... but maybe they were facing the wrong enemy.

But even knowing the gems you're spending, I can't bear to watch it anymore... Except with a kind of sick fascination. I'm torn between raising my pd levels and seeing how far they can go without any further investment. Heck, maybe we can agree on an experimental province.

................

Do let me know if they managed to fly to safety, okay? I really am sympathizing for the poor beasts.

Some great hawks are still alive.
But yeah, what a suprise that they couldn't defeat even a few wee soldiers in dented old armour.

Strength 4 versus protection 9 and 14, not counting shields?
In all fairness, they might have survived if you had a way of keeping up their morale. They weren't willing to stay the fight, though. And that would have defeated the whole 'behind enemy lines' deal.

My national recruits may do sad, sad damage, but they are well protected. Even my light infantry.

Damn misfortune. Guess what? Knights attack my provinces again!

Out of curiosity, CelestialGoblyn, how much food does that big army of yours take, between the elephants and draconians? How much is available to you in that province?

I can't quite figure out why your Theurgs aren't suffering from scurvy, but soon you won't have much left except angels bearing bottles.

While we fight, R'lyeh grows stronger, and Pangaea unconquered. You might even manage to win on an open battlefield, but you certainly haven't had any luck cracking open my fortresses. I can pretty much pick and choose my battles.

I'd be willing to sue for peace, and even provide you with astral pearls if you were to take down R'lyeh's forge. I'd even let you take down Earth Blood Deep Well without retaliation if you stripped down Forge of the Ancients first.

There'd obviously be more negotiation than this, but I'm interested in peace. Even with R'lyeh, though I'm not opposed to the removal of their global spells.

While I might apologise for disposing of a bargaining chip, Forge is already down.

Of course, now Well of Misery is up. Except for the "handing him fifty million Death gems" part, this might actually be a blessing.

(I'm playing Pythium. And I'm not checking this thread often enough.)
Sue for peace? Well, of course.
We're talking provinces here, though. Gem-bearing provinces.
If you are willing to cede a few provinces to me, I can agree on peace.

(By the way, freezing the game for a while is all okay with me.)
