Cradle to the Grave--for noobies with a record of no staling--FULL

Massed archers are generally considered a far better counter to elephants than infantry as they all get to attack and elephants go down pretty quick with enough set on fire monsters. Armored hopolites on the other hand are almost missile immune thanks to shield + high prot.
Generally I find you want a squad of elephants (maybe a dozen) then the rest it more conventional units. That means the opponents is forced to counter the elephants at the expense of being able to fight your infantry.
Also don't forget the trick of putting hypnatists into elephant squads to boost their morale.

In other news it turns out I have to go away for four days (8th to 12th.) I will take a portable install and will do my best to get turns in but I don't know exactly if/when I will be able to.

Alright guys something big just occured in my life and I wont be able to continue this game. I'm terribly sorry but I've got to drop out as I no-longer have the time (and possibly the ability to access) for the game

I'll try to find a sub as quickly as I can.

For the game: as this turn has shown arco is far from defeated....

Haha no-no its nothing serious or bad (Infact its a good thing) it's just going to be occupying all my time for the next half a year or so. I'll miss domIII during that time!

Not really a lucky thing. I've decided to take a bit of a push in my life and have finalized my choice to enlist in the US Army. I'd been thinking about it for a while and have finally brought myself to do it. Being unemployed for almost a year and having almost no money helps make that push haha. Aparently a college degree doesn't make me qualified to even wash dishes or flip burgers in a common setting. Who'd have guessed?

I'm taking the ASVAB tomorrow. Going to try to get a nice high score so I can qualify for and enroll as a desk jockey somewhere over-seas and not get shot at.

As much i support the idea of getting a job/push ones life i was always suspicious towards the army. I would always try to find something else then join there....but its my personal opinion for you its maybe really the right thing to do.

Well then good luck! See you over-sea!
