Think he's talking about Bogarus not Jomon since I am not near C'tis whatsoever.

Actually I think Utgard. Both C'tis and Arco had a hand in their downfall. I think Caelum and either Arco or C'tis finished off TC.

Oops Yeah Utgard, not Jomon. Matty is correct. Caelum finished off TC but I had a few battles with them as well.

Hey guys - I got slaughtered this turn and I'm not too keen on playing 3 against 1 against people who are obviously not newbie / intermediate players. I'm still learning the game and this is already turning into a bloodbath where my lack of experience is going to just get me wiped out very quickly. So let me know if you want me to turn Arco AI or what, but the AI would probably give you all a better fight at this point.

Starcryst: I appreciate you posting this as opposed to just disappearing which some people do.
I think Minor Kitty kind of left you holding the bag. Arco's position was not as strong as was advertised and the previous owner bailed just as the rest of the world was about to bring them down.

Don't turn AI yet please. I will delay hosting. I need to ask the other players here: Should we try for a sub, or turn Arco AI?

I thinking finding a sub will be difficult and going AI might be best way to go at this point.

I'm willing to break my NAPS with both Jomon and Bogarus and join Arco if he wants to continue playing and you guys think it will make for a more interesting game. Arco will have to improve his understanding of the game really quickly though if we are to have a chance (using mages with his armies, equipping SCs and thugs, ect).

I am ok with that if Arco and Jomon are?

Starcryst: Does that work for you? I think Jomon and Bogarus both have NAP3s with Caelum. I think waiting 3 turns will be devestating for Arco but everyone deserves a little time to prepare.
So what do you say as far as Caelum is concerned, everyone can script attack orders anytime AFTER this current turn?

This was my original strat, to try and woo Caelum into an alliance to balance the playing field. But what I've learned in my first engagements with you two, is that I'm woefully unprepared for dealing with advanced player strats. You guys both had strats in place anticipating my movements and I've just burned 1/3 of my military force and a huge portion of my gems to no effect because your kung fu >> my kung fu. I seriously doubt I'll be able to stem the tide at this point and I think by forcing an alliance we are just dooming Caelum to a short bloody war with a newbie player as an ally.

Not that I don't want to help out, but I don't see any way to stop either Bogs or Jomons main army (or even slow them down). I think if you invite a more seasoned player into the position with an alliance with Caelum in place, then you'd have a game worth playing. I think I'm just going to be a glorified punching bag until I get more experience under my belt.

Sorry about this, but I simply had no idea how advanced players who call themselves "intermediate" are. Let me know what you guys decide to do.
