Just repeating the edited post:

Votes: keep going?
Ermor - No
Marverni - No
Sauromatic - No
Arco - No
Mictlan - Yes
Oceania - Yes?

The vote being 4-2 to end it (without counting me), i'm going to end this game, declaring myself the victor.
If Oceania or Mictlan really, really want to keep playing I suppose we can, although the majority seem to be against it.

Also, I will begin recruiting for my next EA random PBEM game.. I want to open that up to the people who were in this game first, so let me know if you're interested. As soon as I start assigning nations, you'll get a PM.

Too bad I wont have a chance to flood you with my niefel flames casting mages. I have 20 or so ready to swarm out of my capital.
I also have about 600 RP a turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

heheheh, was a fun one - I certainly learned to absolutely despise Jarls http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Would have been fun to fire off a few more rounds of wind guided flaming arrow Vision's Foe volleys but then again, I'd also have to deal with a bunch of jerks in armour telling me where to leak. Violently. And not through a usual orifice. That's Ulm for ya.

I was hitting over 700 RP but my gem income was truly awful and had been the whole game. Got boxed in early (mainly my own fault) and never had the provinces to get the gem income up.

Re: War is Hell
 

The reason I was fairly confident of victory was my 8000 gold income a turn (about 5500 after upkeep) and the fact that I had a gem income of more than 40 of each gem type (except water, it was like +33). So I was pulling in a simply massive amount of all types of gems, was forging all the unique items at Construction 8, summoning up the kings and queen at Conjuration 8 and getting ready to start my Tartarian factory. I also killed Micah's Jarl that had the Aegis (and then stole it) through some nice luck (and the use of a black bow of botulf that feebleminded the Jarl before he could Soul Vortex). All kinds of craziness.

Re: War is Hell
 

I'm more of the opinion that my jarl happened to be crushed to death by about 10 metric tons of bull**** falling on his head instead of anything Ulm did, but regardless, losing my ring of wizardry and the aegis, and not knocking out the army that that Jarl was sent to kill kind of sealed the game.

Black Bow of Botulf, dude. It was all in the skill =)

Re: War is Hell
 

If you hadn't hit him from near maximum range with a single shot through a parry 7 shield and luck I'd be a bit more inclined to agree with the "skill" sentiment. I knew you had the damn thing and wasn't worried about it due to the absurdly low probability of it hitting from that far away. If my guy'd showed up without a brain after the fight I would have been completely fine with it. Getting hit on round 1 and dying is a different story completely (I think I had him scripted to air shield too)
