With my current strategy, I'm more likely to take every one of your provinces except your capitol than the other way around. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No worries though. I'm not bored or anything. As long as you have fun I'm happy to play on.

You too Janlm. That thunderstrike spammage of yours was looking very impressive in midgame. (when luckily I wasn't your enemy yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) It was good having you around.

Ok Amhazair. I've been impressed by your attacks. What do you say we call it a draw?

=)

Nice try. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)
 

I've been quite busy these last few days, and didn't quite have the energy left to sit down and play my turn. (For those that hadn't noticed yet, I have a rather large sized ampire to run. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Playing a turn takes quite a bit of time and concentration, even if I'm in a position that forgives a couple of mistakes. )

All of that to say I extended the turn timer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I liberally granted myself 48h, though I hope to submit the turn tomorrow.


P.S. I also postponed hosting by 12h on the previous turn, when Mictlan hadn't submited his turn yet 5 mins before time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I couldn't post here at the time since it was when the forum was down, but I guess you all noticed, and survived even without me posting about it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)
 

I thank you much for the considerations and extent ions you have provided. Though I have to admit that you have the upper hand and projections say you will still win, I hold out hope still.

This next turn will decide if we continue or not. Currently I've managed to stagnate your troop growth for a turn while raising mine. I've also eliminated a few of your super combatants, though surely their are plenty left to go around. If this trend does not continue, then I will concede.

As for land, I've made that as unimportant as possible for me and do not measure my victory or failure by such things.

Thank you for allowing me this valuable end game experience. It is indeed rare that someone gets to learn from this position.

I would also like to thank johnarryn for his contribution to the Mictlan effort and JanIm for the infinitely useful air booster he forged for me so very long ago.

As this is my first multi-player game through the interweb, I thank everyone who has played in this game for the experience. (Though I'm sure most of them now ignore this thread.)

Re: Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)
 

I hate to disappoint you, but the increase in army graph strength from the moment I went to war with Ermor until now is almost entirely due to remote summoned imps. Last turn I simply had enough imps on the map within range of all provinces I wanted to attack not to have to summon too many new ones. It is true I also lost a fair number of imp to heavy PD and your global, but it's just imps. They're meant to die. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Loosing the SC's is worse of course. When I first saw that battle where my tartarian was soundly trounced by eagle warriors I just didn't get what was different. In previous teleporting attacks my tarts remained at max hp's throughout the fight, and now this time you managed to kill him in just a couple of turns. The mind boggled... until I realised that the previous tartarians came from deep inside my own dominion, and thus had twice the hp's as the one that died, and that they did actually loose quite a lot of hitpoints, but that it didn't show because they remained (just) above their normal maximum. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Talk about Doh!

As I said before, I'm happy to play on as long as you want. I know I've allways had great fun when trying to use all the resources at my disposal in an attempt to harm a superior foe as much as possible, and as you say, end game experience will help you a lot in future games. I've also started some experimenting of my own. I just wished up my first ever Mandaha. And of course forgot to have a nature mage present for the gift of reason, so it's now just sitting prettily in my garrison... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)
 

Man, I came to congratulate you on the win and now I'm tempted to keep the game going. We could play on or you and I can call it and duke it out again in a fresh game.

Your choice. I'm not out of ideas if you aren't.
