Priori - New MA Game (Draw)

[Rathar]

/whistles innocently..

I would never think to say "Look over there and not at me!!"
Well ok in my last post I did mention overthrowing the Ermor horde and then me but..

I'll just say that I wish my army graph was composed of squintillions of undead cavalry instead of these damn maenids. Not much use even buffed!

[thejeff]

While I'd rather have the cavalry too, with Fog Warriors and Army of Gold/Lead, pretty much anything becomes at least a really solid shield.

And the maenids aren't vulnerable to all the undead counters.

Most of which I don't have, being stuck with H1 priests and Nature/Air mages. The buffs are good, but damage output is low.

So... I just went to summon my third water queen... Limne I think her name is. But lo..., she did not come.

So some little pissant, with a lake or something, has summoned my third water queen. This really pisses us off. We have nothing of power in this game, except our water queens. And now we have lost one.

Whoever has her, prepare to face the wrath of R'lyeh. We may not be a player in this game, but we will claim our water queens. Scouts are going out in all directions this turn to find the wayward Queen.

[Rathar]

There are two main possibilities; Either someone took a realllly risky gamble and summoned her on land hoping that the other two were already out. I notice that the spell summon water queen isn't water only btw. Or she was summoned in that little 2 province blip of water just east of Ex-Oceanean Territory.

Or the indy's in the far SW corner pool have managed to corral enough gems and sentience to do so. Or.. It's all a giant plot by me to go and get my *** handed to me in the water.

But really.. We don't care for the water. Water and Fur do not mix. Very itchy. Very very.

Dammit, I'm not *ready* for the Armies-are-useless, Mages-are-everything stage of the game yet!

You all may get your wish after all. Looks like Ermor's ship is sinking.

Argartha would like to thank the nation who has been sending us gold(you know who you are). Despite being small amounts it is very helpful to keep our troops from deserting.

Sure, believe that if you want. Perhaps you'd like to surrender now?
Or perhaps we could forswear the use of mages against each other? That would include not using summoned or reanimated troops, of course


Seriously, that was a Pyrrhic victory for me. Half my army is dead and the rest are cursed and crippled. Judging by the graphs, it'll take maybe 3 turns to make up your losses?

With that many battlefield spells up, the armies essentially couldn't hurt each other and neither of us have real area effect mages. Thunderstrike is nice, but fairly small and the few crones I have who can cast it won't spam it.

I may have missed something, but I think it was: Fog Warriors, Mass Regen, Mass Protection, Arrow Fend and Wind Guide, versus Army of Lead, Antimagic, will of the Fates and the Ermor undead boosts. All in Darkness. Oh yeah, with Doom cast on my troops.
And then they just stood there and took futile swipes at each other for 50 turns.

Heh. You have still taken the castle, decimated two major armies so far, including over two dozen leaders, and you have cut my lands in two. You have also thrown me out of your capital. All for the loss of less than 150 units and around a half-dozen leaders.

And Vanheim is using the opportunity to gain back the lands I have conquered from him; soon I will probably be evicted from his lands entirely.

And meanwhile, Pangaea continues to grow, secure and unopposed in the west.

No, this will not be easy to recover from.
