Boot Camp - Finished - Soyweiser/Jotunheim wins!

Right, forgot to mention that! Black hawks are ok at defending forts but horrible at sieging them. Here's some numbers from a test I ran: 32 black hawks were able to hold off 10 Str. 20 Jotuns but when the situation was reversed it required almost 140 hawks to make progress against those same 10 giants in their fort.

Really. I had assumed that their siege and counter-siege potential were both equally abysmal, but I guess they're one of the most gem-efficient defenders after all.

Crap! Bought the wrong commanders last turn. Wanted to buy a Jarl, for his H1, got a Herse... which is just sacred... That is what I get for trying to save gold and not buying the normal H2 priest. I feel very stupid now...

Hi Bootcamp, how is everybody doing? I would have really expected somebody to have cast a global by now. As most indies have been captured by now. (24 left, with a lot of them being water provinces).

I have some use for a crystal coin, anybody have one to trade? Could trade it for a Moonvine Bracelet for example.

Ps: I know it is still a long way off, but just to inform all of you guys. I'm at a lan party 15 and 16 Oct. So I don't think I will be able to do my turn. (There will be internet, but I don't think I will be logging into my mail there, nor have a lot of time to do my turn then. (I think we will be at turn 35 or something then)). Hopefully I'll remember this before the that weekend and post it again. But I will be kinda busy then (I'm one of the organizers of the party), so I would like to ask for an extension in advance.

The magicks required to forge a Crystal Coin should be known to me before the month is out. The question is...why should I be so willing to give it to the one who has so cruelly attempted to incite the other nations of the world against me, when I had never done any harm to you (a few months before exploding through Pythium and nearly matching my size, no less)? Especially given the fact that I would most likely need to see to its construction personally when there is so much to be done.

Perhaps a Moonvine Bracelet together with Boots of Youth would be a suitable offering to convince me to look past such matters. Or, if blood magic is beyond you, an additional 10-gem surcharge (payable in any combination of nature and death gems) would be acceptable in the boots' stead.

If an agreement can be reached, I should be able to see to it that the coin is in your possession by early autumn.

Sorry about the horrible late reaction.

But apparantly my assumptions about the paths I had where vastly mistaken. I currently don't have the capabilities to make a moonvine bracelet.

Does the misfortune scale also give worse random magic picks? It almost looks like it . In all my test games I always had at least one of the picks I wanted before end of the first year. This game none... And when I finally get a gygja with +1 magic it is a n2b2d2 one.
