The Chosen Ones - Intermediate EA Game

[Saros]

Sauro has those hydras who basically walk right over indies as if they're not there.
Tir has ridiculously good ponyman thugs right out of the box. I think CBM gave them some magic items for free as well so a single commander can take nearly any indie prov.

Yeah Sauro has had crazy fast expansion, but I know that if I had decent early game troops I'd probably be attacking him next turn, so there has to be others considering it.

As it is though, early game aggression just isn't an option for me.

Giving Awe to Ri's was not a good call, out of the box Awe + Glamour + 23 Def + sacred self buff + Air magic for 330 gold is a trainwreck, if you think Eagle Kings are good, CBM Ri's are now tons stronger and cheaper.

Make sure you get the CBM 1.84 from this thread: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=47550

Otherwise, your game will be out of sync and you'll see battles play out one way, then look at your armies and see different results.

Ouch. Looks like C'tis is in pretty bad shape. Ossa, I don't think anyone would blame you if you want to go AI. Or you can stick it out and try to make whoever killed you bleed. Your choice.

First stall at turn 20
Doesn t sound good.

I'll just try to hurt my attackers. Evil Tir!

We might need an extension... I don't know where everyone is located but east coast of the usa is currently dealing with a hurricane, mandatory evacuations and likely power outages! Delay for next couple turns until people get power back?

Postponed for 24 hours, will check back in on the situation tommorrow.

Our family has a house in the Bahamas that took a direct hit from Irene and we are preparing to fly down. I'd love to keep playing but I will be without power and internet for a week starting Wednesday. If you want to delay for a week that would be great. If you would rather look for a sub that is fine.

[Stretch]

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I'd be fine with delaying for a week.
