Zebra - finished, Fantomen wins!

4 hours it is.

I would object as well, the only graph where I´m ahead of Abysia is gem income. And there are some unknown factors as well. I´d say the outcome of this game is still quite uncertain, of course I´m no multiplayer veteran.

Ulm's vampire horde is awesome. But Abysia has immortal pretender too and he has access to blood sacrifice so the situation is quite tricky

I am very close to tearing my hair out in frustration.

My couatl mage, once again decides to go off script.
Chooses for some RIDICULOUS reason to cast madness.
Berserks himself
and promptly throws himself on the sword of the enemy.

Once again DECLINING to cast bless.

I checked the debug log

It seems you scripted arcane bolt but there is no magic being in battlefield. Perhaps you installed some mod which modifies spell IDs.

[Fantomen]

If it is of any comfort, a blessing probably wouldn´t have helped you much in that last battle. I think you are overestimating your sacreds if you think so. Touch of madness was probably the worst possible spell at the time though, so your frustration is understood. I can´t deny it was hilarious to see that couatl berzerk himself.

Arcane bolt against my gargoyles on the other hand...lucky me I sent the devil.

[chrispedersen]

3 gargoyle SCS 2 Devil SC's so I rolled the dice. And lost as you attacked with the devil.

So I understand completely why it went off script. No magical creatures. But Touch of madness on itself is just FREAKING brilliant.

Anyway Science wants to take over Mictlan. (and go AI with utgard)

Any objections?

[Fantomen]

It will be sad to see you go, I have really enjoyed our little war. But I have no objections if you get a replacement. Sciencepro should be motivated enough to exact vengance, and you can´t blame him for giving up utgård at this point.

[chrispedersen]

If you insisted I would continue, or if you feel I'm not being true to the good player pledge. But I honestly feel you beat me fair and square - outmaneuvered me on two occassions.

As for the sacreds on the last fight - I had no commanders to move the sacreds to safety - you killed all of them. Too many sacreds to just let go. Had you attacked with the gargoyle, no mr, no armor arcane bolts would have won the day I think.

Coulda woulda shoulda = ).

People are crazy to leave you with 4 globals. I've seen all of abysia's warlocks - but that might get rid of .. one.

Good luck all!

[SciencePro]

Yes i held on with utgard for as long as i could but there isnt much of anything left of them now. I figured sice chris doesn't want to play and i do i might take over mictlan if it Is okay with everyone. I doubt i could win the game or anythng but at least i could practice with a new nation and keep things sporting for the game oveall ehich seems to me to be far from decided.

[Fantomen]

Very well then. I will need your email adress via PM to put you in control of Mictlan.
