Ermor provided the bastion from which I was able to brace myself against the early, furious simultaneous assault by Arco, Ulm, and Utgard. Unlike those three aggressors, I do have a sense of honor and feel bound to aid he who stood by me since the beginning dark days of this war.

And Ulm really needs to read better. I've already stated that Ermor has never directly aided Caelum except through a mutual exchange of gems. That means no gold.

And the Pretender Arkolaos might need a new set of britches. I believe I witnessed him stain his current pair this last month. I think I also heard the *ping* of a birdcage bar breaking.

By the way, Midgard isn't looking too shabby either. Don't let his forked tongue take all the attention away from his steady gain of power.

Yes, I am King of the Beggars. Less than 50% compared to the topmost player in every useful end-game stat. Midgard FTW!!!

Well, as long as the person you attack keeps doing stupid things like hit end turn after having taken a peek and stales himself well... (and thus had the turn run before he could do anything doh!)

I am so annoyed with myself, staled damn near a quarter of the game, only once preventable.. At least I can give myself a lame reason for losing.

All graphs taken together, I'd put you in 2nd or 3rd place. What I don't understand is why you insist on only possessing one fortress. A few more fortresses and you'd have much more research done, easily putting you in a solid 2nd place.

But I'm sure there's a reason for this.

Just FYI:

Ermor has the Air Queens

Re: The Quick and The Dead (Accelerated Start) [OP
 

Indeed if this is the case then we shall brace ourselves for the dead when they begin to arrive, for the Ashen Empire stands for only one thing and that is death, like a vile plague it spreads from their lands, Honour has been mentioned recently - most notably an attack on my good name, but what can the dead know about honour?

We call all nations to do what they can to halt the Ashen empires rise to power.

...and you lapdog of a liche,your recent victory was fortunate, had your Seraphs and yourself fought like honourable foes you would not have hidden behind your magical "fog". No matter we shall be better prepared for your magics , no doubt when your vile necro-loving pretender returns with more air gems.

Arkolaos, friend and protector of the living.

Majiks which aid my forces in battle are dishonorable? I did not know that. Well in that case I shall not use any more "dishonorable" tactics. Not.

Look closely and you'll see that my Storm Generals wear red tunics. Recently one of my Raven Guard asked why. The Storm General replied that wearing a red tunic prevents his troops from seeing the blood pouring forth when the Storm General is grievously wounded.

Rumour has it that the Pretender Arkolaos wears yellow pantaloons for similar reasons.

C'tissians don't wear pantaloons http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

We use our majiks to make sure our robes don't open http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Heh. Cocky, arent you? Killing a 43hp pretender isnt too much of an accomplishment http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Tho routing me again was. My Vans are really proving to be a disappointment.
