Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't think I have much of a shot, really.

Attacking Pythium turned out not to be a good move at-all, as my thugs are basically helpless against his hydras .

I hate Hydras. Several good players, QM and Tuidy, say they are not worth the money. But I hate trying to kill those things personally.

I was so happy in the Big Game when I fought Sauromatia that he did not buy any. And in Alpaca Dr. P, when you also did not buy any. Though in the Big Game with Ctis, I can understand since they have 50 percent pr. And the elite warriors in numbers would likely bring down the hydras with their double attack.

On a side note, though i have never played agartha mp, they feel slow out of the gate in sp. I think id wait for my racial summons before i started any wars.

Vs Hydras a strong cavalry charge or massed arhers/crossbows work very well. Been attacked in two other MPs with them and both were successful in defeating them.

Hydras are very good anti thugs/SC's thou. Late game with army of lead they could well be vitually unstoppable, assuming the army of lead stays when they move to a new form.

Yeah, I should've waited.

To say that they are not worth the money is a great oversimplification. They are not worth spending *all* of your money on. They are clearly worth their money against me.

But pythium looked vulnerable, and I thought Marignon would snap him up if I didn't, so I attacked.

And now, as is often the case, I get to enjoy the fruits of my agression.

It looks like Eriu launched a surprise attack on Man. Should be interesting.

Too long has retribution been stalled, too long the balance undone. For generations the Tuatha have bourn the memory of the treachery perpetrated by the nation of Man, the atrocity of genocide performed by wave after wave of the prolific vermin. No more, says the new god, no more will my children wait for revenge. By decree of Baalz the lands of Man are now the sovereign territory of Eriu and all creatures of their court sentenced to death. The Tuatha come once again, we will not be driven from the world a second time.

Perhaps he used stealth as well? Tuatha, now you see them, now you don't.

Don't need to wait that long, I've recently become quite enamored with iron warriors. I've been using it to make my monster fish hellishly tough to take down in Evermore, seems like it'd be equally effective with hydras assuming you can land some e2 mages.
