Silent Seas AAR

Turn 66
Apparently one of my provincial rulers has been hiding his true nature: he has been revealed as a Vampire Count! He attacked and overthrew the militia in the province he used to rule with a force of Thralls and lesser Vampires. This kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen. I must send away immediately a strong force to destroy this vile creature of darkness.

Aside from this vile creature commiting such treason the news this month has been good: Balastha captured the fortified city of T'ien Ch'i without problem. Here is a shot (zoomed out really far) showing the city:




I also wanted to include a shot of one of my Yavanas, now with some experience, and having had several enchantments cast upon him:



Hard to know who could stand against an army of these proud warriors and live to tell about it!

Vanheim attacked one of T'ien Ch'i's remaining provinces (one of my Markatas was there to see the whole thing). Vanheim succeeded in the end, but T'ien Ch'i nearly prevailed. (I think the elephants routing and trampling his prophet in their mad rush off the field made it a little harder).

T'ien Ch'i attacked me in his former capital, but I was able to withstand the assault easily, even though Anuprabha was in the labratory casting his global enchhantment, which, by the way, succeeded perfectly. I will now set many mages forging many interesting items.

Nice progress. st.patrik could you show us the power graphs?

[st.patrik]

I can, but only for turn 78, which is where I'm at currently (trying to stay ahead so that I can post fairly regularly here).

I have been trying to not look at them too much... more of the rpg element...

Maybe I should post them when the game concludes, so that the progress of the whole can be seen?

Okay.

Oh, I was thinking it was Astral weapon, but that's right, AW has some kind of flame around the weapon.

I was going to say the Yavanas' one weakness is ranged attacks, but then I noticed they have bucklers, and I bet even bucklers have a good protection, shield bonus.

Bucklers are just bucklers. They are the smallest shields available. They help, but Yavanas are still pretty vulnerable to archers. Now Gandharvas, with that insane armor especially for Early Age, THEY are scary.

[st.patrik]

yeah missiles are their worst nightmare, despite the bucklers (although I'm sure it would be worse without them). Once you can cast Arrow Fend (which I have, in the screenshot) you're in good shape, and before then using archer decoys works mostly pretty well.

Besides, even without those things the Yavanas close really quickly, so you don't have very long before they enter melee.

What's that sword icon?

[st.patrik]

I believe it's Armour-Piercing weapons. One of my Yakshas cast Weapons of Sharpness which makes all weapons AP.
