Possible delay! I ask for a small extension on this turn (3-6hr) as a safety net.

Now this one is a blatant falsehood! I admit my NAP violation but movement blocking is NOT in my past!

They were not capable of blocking any armies because movement happens BEFORE attacks are resolved and the issue only arises if two nations move laterally into eachothers provinces in the same round. No matter the number of diseased mages I sent from one of my provinces to scout you or fomoria during your war, not once did they ever block an army going to or from yours and fomoria's provinces because neither of you were moving into -my- provinces at any of the times I did this.

Now if you're talking about my diseased 100g mage with 2hp remaining that Magic Dueled your SC Melqart and won, that was simply temendous luck (40% chance both die, 25% one lived) on my part and a very valid tactic!
No, I wasn't referring to thugging or single Mage magic duels. I was just talking about stuff that is cheesy but not declared illegal for this game (thus I did not complain when it happened), but for the record I consider constantly sending a scout into the same province with retreat orders to raise unrest to be cheesy to a slightly lower magnitude than LL sending his scout in to see enemy composition. Thus LL has company. Neither are illegal and both are cheesy.

Actually, I have a business meeting tomorrow night, and I just realized that I'm not sure when I'll get back tomorrow night. Can we have a 24 hour delay please?

yea just do it for the main mage types. Then hoover the mouse over certain script you want to register and press ctrl + 1(or any other number). now hoover over unscripded mage and press 1 (or respectively the other numbers).
While I'm pretty sure Arco knows that it might be a good knowledge for the newer players.

And voila you have 60 mages ready for their doom under the spears of my morrigans. (you can regard those spells they cast as their dying wish ) Something of the lines of:

Morrigan: Have you got any last words?
Mystic: Hmm haven't thought about it let me check.
He looks into his neatly scripted book.
Mystic: Khmm ok. COMMUNION SLAAAAVE!!! . Aargh cough.. cough. (coughing up blood due to the big round hole in his throat)

Yes, but I'm not dealing with all 1F1S mages or the like. My mystics are 1S 1FWES+100% 1F+50% 1W+50% 1E+50% and astrologers 3S 1FWES+100%.

Each one may be spamming different spells based on their setup for maximum slaying. So while I can CTRL+1/2/3/etc where 1 may be for the F1S1 guys, 2 may be for the E2S1, 3 may be for the S2 guys. Then there's the astrologers with 3S1E etc etc...
So while I can copy paste them, I've still got to go through and change the script setup for those slots depending on path and who I'll be fighting. THEN carefully go through and make sure I paste the right E2S1 script into the E2S1 mage and NOT into the W1S2 mage. It's a damn good thing I rename, or I'd never finish.

See the horrible horrible micro of varied arco communions?

Remind me not to play Arco until I've gotten a clear schedule.
