MP: Doomsday 4 [send in Pretenders]

Jomon really should have gone underwater pretty fast as their best mages are recruited in underwater forts. Fortunately they remain on land and with a massive death scale time was in my advantage.

Yeah, I spent way too many turns sitting on my hands and waiting for something to happen. I really didn't have a solid midgame strategy and so I started to flounder pretty quickly after the expansion phase. Also, the position of being stuck on the edge of the map bordering two of the largest powers in the game didn't help.

GG, GFsnl, you took the advantage early on and never really gave it up.

Thanks, good game everyone.

I had Bogarus pegged as my early target from the get go, since he was in the corner with only me as a neighbour. So I rubbed my hairy palms when the big armies he moved to my border attacked Gath instead! But then the war took way too much time for me to be able to pitch in against the trogs.

I also suffered from the 65% mistake, I thought I'd try Acashic Record for once - end result 120 pearls burned and 3 sites with total income 4 found

I hadn't done any site searching, just rushing to conj5 and then I was screwed.. Bogarus also taught me that elephants die to soul slay But that made me think that they could be pretty sweet decoys against anti-SC spells in the late game. Never thought of that before.

Yeah, I made the mistake of attacking Gath, who I underestimated, and then gettimg attacked by Arco, Gath and Abysia all at the same time. I also didn't have a clear idea of how communions work. I also lost my pretender fairly early when he retreated into enemy territory.
