I'll continue to play while we look for a sub but finding a sub quickly would be best.

Amazing what concentrated FAM can do to an "army". It's been fun, gents, but I'm done for. Enjoy your endgame.

Armies can still be viable later on, but depend on buffing spells.
It is however, very hard to defend armies against thunderstrike spam, unless you get decent access to thunder wards.
The other problem you had was being tien Chi, one of the races where Caelum has scant issues with aggressivly entering close combat (immidiatly attacking f.e. Black Plate Flails or Dai Bakemono will hurt comparably frail eagle units much much more, although army of mist changes things quite a bit). Especially if you largely utilize infantry. TCs cavalry is rather cool though, and its numerous attacks are quite efficient in quickly bringing down enemies that to an extent depend on Defense.

I have posted a sub wanted post.

Sorry to hear this. I will miss a loyal and competent opponent as much as our high-worded correspondence.

I hope you will find the time to come back to the community in the future!

Interesting, it appears that Ulm is winning the war against Pythium but loosing the game, although I propably made that choice during pretender creation.

Re: Pointy Sticks MA started
 

I placed a preventive delay, as both Pythium and Shinuyama indicated to have some heavy real life workloads.

Re: Pointy Sticks MA started
 

Much obliged.

Re: Pointy Sticks MA started
 

A lot happened in this turn, and we may have a found a sub in Numahr, I am delaying things for 72 hours.

Re: Pointy Sticks MA started
 

We're coming up on 48 hours until the turn hosts, and the potential sub has had 4 days to look things over. Can we get a decision one way or the other?

Re: Pointy Sticks MA started
 

This is most likely indeed.
