Ahh. We see now. Should have just looked at the Hall of Fame to begin with. C'tis has our Water Queen, and is holding her against her will.

Well Lizards, you can use her for now. But I would not get her killed. She would return to her rightful place the next turn if that happens.

In the halls of Mictlan layed Fu-tsang lung, god of tien chi, dragon of wealth and order. His eyes clouded by pain, still his divine aura was one of peace.

Mo hi hai stood trembling below his gaze, shying from the divine kindness of his beloved god.

-master...you are in bad shape. I...don�t know if my efforts will be sufficient this time. I�m sorry...but...

-My child! The dragon mildly interrupted.

-how great is your devotion? I besieged the monkey people and was wounded, you did not fail me then. Now I have layed Mictlan under my rule after long and bitter struggle and I am wounded once more, you will not fail me now. I know you better than yourself, I can see into your heart and it knows no hesitation. Only your brain plays tricks of despair. Remember that we have won! Hopefully a time of peace awaits, and you will have time to cure me before my strenght is tested again.

-yes father. Mo hi hai whispered before hurrying away.

Fu-tsang lung looked after him and spoke, one head to the other.

-I fear this peace to be frail, my physical wounds are shallow compared to those in my soul. Can I bare the slaughter of yet another people? The screams of mictlans haunt me still, how can I find such steel within me.

The other head:

-You worry too much my dear! Sleep brother, sleep and forget. Yesterday is but a memory, tomorrow is illusion. Only now exists.

-Easy to say sister, but my pain is now. And very real indeed.

-Why sooo moody all of a sudden, can I please be spared of your depression? I for one cherish our victory!

-Such is our nature sister, to mirror the duality of ourself.

-Whatever, see you tomorrow.

-very well, good night.

-sweet dreams.

You pretend to know the will of elements? There is a reason that Limne chose us over all people of the world. She is treated as a goddess amongst our people, and she is given the opportunity to smite those who would be blinded by the flames of false royalty.

Heh. Okay guys, I'm burning out. I find I just do not enjoy Dom3 endgame, so I'm going to find a replacement. Details here.

I'm sorry to see you go. This is my first serious endgame and I've learned a lot. Mostly about what I should have done. I've been lucky that you haven't had a real counter to Fog Warriors. I've go other tricks in mind, but I doubt they'll execute as well.

It'll be somewhat frustrating to lose to someone who didn't do the work of building up the position, or to beat someone who throws it away, but I get not liking the endgame. I avoid big games for just that reason. It's a game, no point in continuing if it's no fun.

darn.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, in a lot of ways this has been a very interesting game! I've enjoyed the open diplomacy, the showers of love ; ) and so forth. This has been one of the most amicable gang-ups I've played in. And I've been highly amused by that army just parked on top of Agartha for like forever, like a cork in a bottle.

It's the mechanics of the game that are doing me in, not the players. Dom3 is too limited in its options for end-game for my tastes. It would not be so bad for me if the end-game truly came at the end of the game. But we're already at the stage now where all that matters are the gems, the SCs, and the mages--and it will still be a *long* time before a winner is finally decided. (Unless you all want to concede now? Heh.) This is only my second end-game as well btw (the first being Elli; I don't count King, since I never really fought there); if I had known how much I hated the ending at the start, I would not have joined a game on a map this big. Ah well, I have had a lot of fun so far!

I'll keep the turns churning until I find a replacement. Don't think you're getting off that easy! Someone should want the spot; opportunities like these don't come up very often...; )

Yeah, I think I'll be looking for smaller games too.

So far, at least in our major battles, it's been all about the mages and battlefield buffs. Neither of us has really used SCs, other than my pretender and he hasn't been too effective.

I can think of a couple simple SC builds that would only have trouble wiping out my main army due to turn limits. Kind of surprised I haven't seen them, actually.
