Just out of curiosity, did the death curse horror marks ever yield horrors?

And I was afraid of committing to battles in random, extraneous provinces because there could be a thug hiding behind any rock, any tree... I should have just went to your capital and preached you to death with my first army, honestly. Without that gate as a chokepoint, breaking sieges would have given the day to the snakes and frogs.

And hey, at least give me credit, I could have smashed you when you were all beaten down. I waited until your score graphs looked above average before I declared war, but I certainly wasn't going to let you build up forever until you overran me with thugs.

Occasionally... because I didn't have much in the way of regular troops I maybe got a skewed look at them. I think one killed my weakened and counterscripted pretender at one point, but the thugs and mages usually just laughed them off. Not very often though.

Very true but I never had very many of them. Perhaps I should have half-arsed equipped more rather than full equipped just a few, but I never had the gem income to ramp up.

Still it was cool having a bunch of guys rockin the 33 or 34 defense and 24 or so protection, mistformed and blessed. Maybe I should have not bothered with shields and just dual wielded my way through the frogs.

Yeah, probably. There was no defense against your dominion, which is why the other players, Vanheim especially, needed to turn on you a lot sooner.

I fried every temple of yours I could get at but of course that is not nearly enough.

Sure sure, play with the mouse before eating it...

See you in the next game.

I started out strong but by the time I was heading towards Abysia Vanheim got caught with its pants down... well more accurately it was revealed that the skinshifters wear no pants!

Wearing no pants results in some pretty severe third degree burns, it seems.

It took me a while to scrape up a counter for Abysia's flying fire mage + demon squads. By the time I had done so, it was apparent exactly how threatening C'Tis had become. This meant that most of my resources went towards temples, priests, and hurricane / blights to try and hold off C'Tis, with a token force of six ungeared vanjarls plus two or three fire immune vanjarls (fire brand + shield of gleaming gold) to hold off Abysia. Every now and again I'd scrape up a few skinshifters to take a few provinces and rank up the tax to 200. In the last few turns I did wander a random pack of mages around, mostly for fun.

Those three stale turns certainly didn't help either! My other two games I am playing have moved to 72 hour turns, and this one is on a 24 hour timer, so I'd miss turns occasionally. Whoops!
