King of the Isle (finished)

[LDiCesare]

I wonder. Did anyone try and sneak some disease inducing units in the Isle of Aeternia to cause diseases and afflictions on the isle? Or was it only conventional warfare?

[Zeldor]

There is no way to sneak anything into province with couple hundred patrolling units + high PD.

Machaka tried a harvester of sorrow (scripted to retreat in round one) it was a good idea as the reaper effect happen before patrol I was losing 1k pop each time, he forced me to have mages with penetration gear soul slaying in first round. With resist gear, several harvesters like that could have been a real problem I think.

So... As Ermor see no way to take the isle in 2 turns (and others, needing to beat besiegers first, don't have time to try something) I officially declare game finished.

Thanks all.

Other game on the same map may be also finished before anyone gets 3VPs, heh.

I guess the biggest thing to blame here is the system of counting VPs, instead of adding it every summer it should rather be 'controling VP province for x consecutive turns'. Combine it with 'no fort on VP' rule should make interesting game. I guess it cannot be modded though and would have to be done manually.

[Twan]

Next time on this map I'd rather use non cumulative VP, with something like 3 for the isle, 1 per gateway, 1 per capitol and an objective of 9 or 10 (the isle, all gateways, 2 or 3 capitols, or more caps and less special provinces), so even with the isle you can't stay in defence.

Yes, the "no fort on Aeternia" condition seems interesting oh this map.

Anyway, congrats for this pretty fast and massive victory !
