Allright. Ctis is AI.
I hope everyone was ready for that. Quite a buildup there, and now the dam breaks.

Uh-oh.

Go north, AI, go north.

He-he - This will be interesting. I see a couple thousand troops near my southern border.

[Jorus]

I guess I'm lucky then, I only see 400 new troops on my northern border. On the other hand, he has attacked several of my provinces during the magic pahase, and captured an internal one. Also has cast plagues and winter (not too much of a problem for us cold loving people) on several provinces.
A very anti-social AI.
BTW, what do these dire portents mean? I don't see any new globals? Or were they dispels?
And an idle question, according to the score graphs - he lost research. How do you do that?

[Jorus]

Gandelf,

Is it possible to see my previous turn somehow? I have been devastated by the loss of units with costly/powerful/rare items (e.g. Rings of S/W). I thought they were present last turn, yet I don't see them (or reports of their demise) anywhere.
On top of all that, after spending almost two hours on my current move the computer crashed. All was lost.
This is very discouraging.
The lack of saved turns is a nuisance (and yes I know I could do it myself, but why then do we have computers??).

email me at gandalf on community.net and I can send you the games backups

I took out Absyia's pretender who had at least one global up. I figure some of C'tis global casters died due casting spells and suffering horrors from the astral corruption before it was dispelled. I have been hit with a few rituals too - not sure where they are coming from.
