I've been taking luck in a lot of my games recently. I wasn't sure on it's effectiveness in an MP setting, and aside from the dwarven elders the effects haven't been so pronounced. I've got more than you've seen too, so I guess it's something to be pleased with. In SP where you usually have a lot more provinces it's great.

I was in 2 other MP games at the same time as this one and I don't think I won a single battle in both my downfalls. So actually winning one has made it all worth it. It's like shooting ridiculously over par in golf and then getting a birdie on the 18th.

I took turmoil 3 luck three. I have thus far got about 140 gems from events- so many gems, in fact, that I've summoned about eighty claymen for fun.

Agartha- Rigden Jyepo is DOOMED! He has only two options- to flee into Bogus's band, or fight the mighy wrath of Ivan. Needless to say, he will die horribly.

I have just pulled off the most boring, uneventful war ever, against Abysia. I've taken (1) province. Fought (1) battle. And have no immediate plans for any further action.

I remembered the assassins of Abyssia... but realize at the last that I don't have enough spare commanders on the scene.

So I've pretty much lost all momentum, and surprise. Not much else, yet, fortunately. Well, more commanders are on the way.

I've been pretty happy with my one luck (though with Ctis' number of heroes - including one with reanimate dead) I wish I had more. Unlike my misfortune two games, I haven't had swarms of barbarians and knights and troglodytes harassing me. I've had some bad events, but its an all around much more pleasant game. I much prefer luck one to misfortune-order, it seems.

I haven't updated my aar, but thanks to that initial skirmish, I do have some thoughts on what kind of troops to recruit.

I've got three luck, but no heroes have bothered to show yet...bastards.
I like luck for the gems, but I'm thinking growth might've been better, combined with my order scales.

Well, looks like i took the third option. Surprised? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
And we'll see whether mighty Tsar Ivan will be so wrathful now, with several horror marks.
Also, i really couldn't believe you would leave another province without PD for my scout to take. Come on, buy at least 1 point everywhere. You already lost two temples to this scout, and now another province...

Oh, and if you'd rather avoid further harm, we can always talk of course... in private http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I really should have attacked earlier, assasins or no.

You're surprisingly deadly in even wet weather, abyssia.
About all I accomplished was cutting your Salamander population in half.

I am dying to know what site my spell uncovered as you took my province. I'd been holding off on that spell because the enemy always takes the province just as I cast the spell...

Alternatively, I should have had many of my forces fall back. I wasn't that far from breaking my troops into raiding parties, but as I said, I took too long.

Hey, Szumo. No, not a t all surprised about the pretender. I figured he'd either fly or teleport away, but always good to indulge in wishful thinking. In any case, Ivan isn't really that fearsome in combat anyways, and he sure isn't helping with research. Horror marks? Pft!

Umm.... well... if you attacked my underwater provinces with your scout, you'd find I have perfectly good PD...

Cowardly Sauromantians are trying to avoid the Battle, but if they avoid it too long, i will capture their capitol.
