Some great hawks are still alive.
But yeah, what a suprise that they couldn't defeat even a few wee soldiers in dented old armour.

Strength 4 versus protection 9 and 14, not counting shields?
In all fairness, they might have survived if you had a way of keeping up their morale. They weren't willing to stay the fight, though. And that would have defeated the whole 'behind enemy lines' deal.

My national recruits may do sad, sad damage, but they are well protected. Even my light infantry.

Damn misfortune. Guess what? Knights attack my provinces again!

Out of curiosity, CelestialGoblyn, how much food does that big army of yours take, between the elephants and draconians? How much is available to you in that province?

I can't quite figure out why your Theurgs aren't suffering from scurvy, but soon you won't have much left except angels bearing bottles.

While we fight, R'lyeh grows stronger, and Pangaea unconquered. You might even manage to win on an open battlefield, but you certainly haven't had any luck cracking open my fortresses. I can pretty much pick and choose my battles.

I'd be willing to sue for peace, and even provide you with astral pearls if you were to take down R'lyeh's forge. I'd even let you take down Earth Blood Deep Well without retaliation if you stripped down Forge of the Ancients first.

There'd obviously be more negotiation than this, but I'm interested in peace. Even with R'lyeh, though I'm not opposed to the removal of their global spells.

While I might apologise for disposing of a bargaining chip, Forge is already down. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Of course, now Well of Misery is up. Except for the "handing him fifty million Death gems" part, this might actually be a blessing.

Re: Ulm quit
 

A pity, pity. Well, at least they haven't taken a single one of my forts yet, and I'm still capable of assaulting Ulm, albeit at a snail's pace, and questionable success, but with very limited risk.

As long as Pythium doesn't get a fort in my lands or nature mages + gems for bags of endless booze, they'll find it a bit hard to eat. I've learned a couple important lessons from other games about holding down the forts, and from reading up on Ulm.

Heck, thanks to my death and heat scales, their is a friendly province twice removed from my unsieged capital that has 76 food. I'd hate to think what its like for invaders.

Re: Ulm quit
 

I think I got confused as to who's playing whom.

Ignore the bulk of my PM, Shuma. I'd assumed I was speaking to pythium, without double-checking the player list.

I do have those pearls, however.

Stalled... I'm gonna have to sort hings out and catch up from my mistakes.

Re: Ulm quit
 

Any chance of getting a freeze until Wednesday, 16:00 GMT? Aka noon?

Re: Ulm quit
 

(I'm playing Pythium. And I'm not checking this thread often enough.)
Sue for peace? Well, of course.
We're talking provinces here, though. Gem-bearing provinces.
If you are willing to cede a few provinces to me, I can agree on peace.

(By the way, freezing the game for a while is all okay with me.)

Re: Ulm quit
 

I'm fine with a pause.
