VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[Zenzei]

what had happened if I had found any of your Ranger squads patrolling last turns? You would have violated the NAP because that could have been easily considered and attack...

I did thought about this too and I came to conclusion it was worth a bit of a risk(ranger attack didn't work out as well as I had planned though). And because you didn't find them out during the expiration period and I didn't attack with them until NAP had officially ended, you really can't say I broke the NAP, can you?

Personally I would find this kind of move a bit grey zone but definitely not a NAP breach because the notification had already been made. If you think this issue needs more conversation, I'm happy to talk it out.

you took just 3 provinces from me, 2 were previously attacked by Patala. You also killed about 70 Patalan units by error I assume

Yep, there was an unfortunate error.

[Aezeal]

stats seem to indicate ulm took patala provinces.. and patala lost a great many troops in this exchange

mictlan skyrockets in gem income though

[Karlem]

Technically I would have consider them breaking the NAP had I encounter them. We are "good ennemies" and I will not bother about it but just wanted to say it to you for future game. I usually consider anything other than a scout breaking a NAP.

Well, I consider you killing Patala troops a "fortunate error", do you mind? .

[Aezeal]

I just think it's funny, neither un- ot fortunate.

Does anyone mind..

If Arco has more nice high PD's then a few astral windows on our borders are adviced

[Karlem]

Just Patala missing. Ghill, come on, just do it

[Karlem]

Ufff Zenzei.... did it hurt?

*******************
Borale. To one side mighty Ulm: 13 commanders, 150 units and 15 undead... The commanders are 4 mighty vampire counts, 4 black priests, 1 bane lord fully suited, the Ghoul Baron Ulrich and some more...

To the other side Bifrons.

- No one can harm the mighty devils, no one can damage the forces from frozen hell! You will all die! - said Bifrons
- He can bleed, he can die! - said Ulrich

The rangers of Ulm fired their crossbows, the mindless thralls advanced. Some Vampire counts send some minor imps and even Gravetongue, the bane lord arrivd to combat.

However Bifrons was ready. The Bane lord was quickly incapacitated and he was fast and his shield covered him nearly completely so the stings from the crosbows damaged more the thralls than him. His weapon answered his call and everytime someone died he captured his essence and instead of being damaged every minute it passed he was stronger!

The evil forces of Ulm send imaginary soldier, undead hordes and mighty warrior but he was unharmed. They were brave he killed ¡¡¡142!!! of them before they retreted but then ulmish forces noticed:

Sir!!! There is nowhere to retreat!!

And then they died

*******************

So I think I won round 2.

[Aezeal]

Karlem how did you avoid getting killed there? Your opponent could tell us anyway so just tell us how Bofrons was outfitted and which spells he used.

Zenzei, same question for you about your banelord.

PS what stats should I be thinking of for both thugs?

[Ghill]

Well...this looks like the end for Patala.

Things I learned this game
-An SC is worth a significantly more expensive army if applied correctly.
-Demon Sc's are very popular (and powerful)
-All the good anti-demon spells are at research 6 or higher! (cleansing water being the one that would have helped me most.)
-Body guards are mandatory for all important non SC generals

I have only two regrets this game. That I didn't get to write a battle report (All of my combats were slaughters one way or another.) and that I got 'NAP trapped' (should have delcared war on mictlan when I ran out of room, he was so close to my capital anyway.).
