Epic Heroes Mod II(Game Finished)(Lolomo Winner)

[Xietor]

In the fall of year 2 Ulm becomes the 1st land race to perish. Having spoken to Ulm. I realize he put up a valiant fight, but was playing the weakest of the weak races.

The Black Duke of Ulm is potent, but he does not help with Ulm's most glaring weakness-tramplers. Look for him to dom summon a crusher in the final version.

Thank you for playing Aapeli!

if you can find the Epic Heroes Mod thread on the mod forum, it would be appreciated if you can post on what you liked or disliked about your hero, and caelum's hero(if you faced him).

The Seraphines of Caelum salute the soldiers of Ulm for their valiant albeit futile defense. Few armies can match the rage of "Fat Ankles" war elephants. In honor of our conquered foe, we have requisitioned the services of master craftsmen to commemorate the fall of Ulm:

"Engraved on the floor is a masterfully designed image of a dwarf and an elephant by Inod Duthernurdumat. The dwarf is making a plaintive gesture. The elephant is striking down the dwarf."

Astrology 101 reveals:

War rages between Pythium and Agartha, with a slight edge to Pythium. Though Dr. P is dangerous when wounded.

Mictlan looks as if he is wrapping up his war with Shinuyama.
Who will be the next victim?

MA Ctis Serpent King Pretender lost a head butting contest with a Grand Elephantarch. Elephants have hard heads.

Atlantis is winning its water conquest.

Powers Abysia, Bandar Log, Ermor, Marignon, and possibly Caelum look to be at peace. Caelum deserves some peace and quiet after his conquest of Ulm.

Keep the world posted!

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't think I have much of a shot, really.

Attacking Pythium turned out not to be a good move at-all, as my thugs are basically helpless against his hydras .

[Xietor]

I hate Hydras. Several good players, QM and Tuidy, say they are not worth the money. But I hate trying to kill those things personally.

I was so happy in the Big Game when I fought Sauromatia that he did not buy any. And in Alpaca Dr. P, when you also did not buy any. Though in the Big Game with Ctis, I can understand since they have 50 percent pr. And the elite warriors in numbers would likely bring down the hydras with their double attack.

On a side note, though i have never played agartha mp, they feel slow out of the gate in sp. I think id wait for my racial summons before i started any wars.

Vs Hydras a strong cavalry charge or massed arhers/crossbows work very well. Been attacked in two other MPs with them and both were successful in defeating them.

Hydras are very good anti thugs/SC's thou. Late game with army of lead they could well be vitually unstoppable, assuming the army of lead stays when they move to a new form.

[DrPraetorious]

Yeah, I should've waited.

To say that they are not worth the money is a great oversimplification. They are not worth spending *all* of your money on. They are clearly worth their money against me.

But pythium looked vulnerable, and I thought Marignon would snap him up if I didn't, so I attacked.

And now, as is often the case, I get to enjoy the fruits of my agression.

[Xietor]

It looks like Eriu launched a surprise attack on Man. Should be interesting.

Don't need to wait that long, I've recently become quite enamored with iron warriors. I've been using it to make my monster fish hellishly tough to take down in Evermore, seems like it'd be equally effective with hydras assuming you can land some e2 mages.
