Re: End Utgard
 

I noticed you had a weak dominion and tried my best to build you up with temples and make it even weaker actually http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Also you had rather poor scales and death for a bloodhunting race hurts much. So I understood that while I could hold you back, your potential was dwindling.
Yes, earth attacks were also mine, as well as flames from the sky in your capital. I understood it is unwise to cast flames on a army of devils but I knew that there were also mages and commanders with contracts. If I killed at least four, I think, the spell paid for itself. Frankly speaking, I just didn't have an appropriate target that turn so Furcas targeted your capital http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. It also seems that I killed a total of 6 angels with distant attacks.
Btw, it just could not be Pangaea because he staled several times the same turn I casted Earth Attack))

Re: End Utgard
 

Corruption didn't hurt much but the last turn I lost a big fight for Utgard capital and lost almost everything I had there (Utgard lost everything but damn immortal mummy that never runs). I lost some unique items and a handful of mages but that was like a drop in the sea actually. A FoTA caster died there as well so I was lucky that your AC dispelled FoTA))
One of the main reasons why I lost was that my equipped fairy queen who should have casted Mass regen and Fog warriors died from a horror as she was already horrormarked. My main wish-empowered Chtugul who kept Strands of Arcane Power was scripted to also attacked but was scripted to Returning. No more attacks happened. Probably, clam forgers who use 5-1 gems for a clam didn't seem to be good enough targets for horrors http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I planned to restore FoTA this turn with elemental king (I was thinking hard how to protect him from horror), to kill Mother Oak caster and next turn to raise either Purgatory or Wrath of God depending on who would seem bigger danger. Also I planned to cast 300-350 gems Dispel. I hope, it would have been enough for your AC.

Actually my turns were soooo long because I usually checked that every single commander, hunter, mage etc did what I wanted him to not what HE decided was better http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif:)
That's madness!

Re: End Utgard
 

AC was cast with just shy of 500 slaves. I figured you'd be trying to dispel, and saved up for a few turns (and Utgard contributed 150)
