Re: Methadone - running
 

Ehm - now, will there be an "end game" before Marignon is killed off, or is that still an actual goal? You're talking all "have to prepare to kill Abysia or die trying"... if Marignon isn't a priority any longer, please give me a hint at least how one deals with such a Sacred Statue :)

New game: Will have to see, first get this one here finished for sure. I'm in three games right now, and I definitely can't take more than that - although Bazooko pretty much could lead into a workload reduction soonish... ;)

In these three games, I've been picking Abysia all the time (all three ages) to get a feeling what they are like - will be damn tough to play something ELSE than Abysia ;)

Re: Methadone - running
 

You can poke your head in the castle (siege it, break the walls, send in a scout on retreat to storm). Once you actually seen the statue, you'll have a better handle on how to kill it.

There are spells and items that target lifeless units, but depending on what kind of gear the statue has you may not need any of that.

I've been trying to kill Mictlan's monolith in Bazooko, and I got pretty much toasted by it - just by spells. My troops weren't hard enough to poke through its armor really. Of course I didn't have all kind of mages available...

Gath wishes to announce that we will not permit Marignon's capitol to fall into Abysian hands. We will begin taking preventative measures to avoid such an occurrence.

*ahem*

(first - vfb, your Doom horror screenshot looked as if the camera was rotated somehow, or was it just the horror teleporting around so it ended up north of that commander? If it was rotated - how does one do that?)

Now Gath shows its real, ugly true face, a death mask of war: While Abysia has offered Gath to capture the Marignon capital, Gath does not mention this offer at all and instead uses a lame excuse to turn against the peace loving citizens of the lava lands.... while we are just making sure that everybody interested can swim in cozy pools of lava, and breed special cows that can live even under the harshest conditions (see below), Gath continues its tradition of betrayal that it showed when casting the BurdenOfTime ritual, under which all free people in the world have to suffer.

Abysian cow, grazing:

But we will stand upright, we will defend our lava pies, protect our sweet virgins from the aggressors. Can you imagine what those death glorifying, insensitive giants would do to a harmless girl, waiting to be sacrificed in honour of its god (yeah, they might have to spend some "quality time" before in the temple, but their final purpose is defined).....

Defend those lovelies - this is Magmalia, an Abysian sweetheart (of the month)!

To rotate the camera in battles, first press shift-F. This turns on free-camera-move, where you can use the Home-End-Del-PageUp-PageDown-Insert, and num pad 7 and 9, to rotate and move the camera.

But I tried pressing shift-F to rotate the devil-girl image above, and it's just not working! :shock:

PS Very nice picture of the grazing cow too! :D

Re: Methadone - running
 

Jim's mages get affected every turn, but really....not too many have died yet. They will, though as my mages are all old to begin with.

You don't suppose VFB had THAT in mind when he cast the global, do you?????

Re: Methadone - running
 

Nah, I don't think he put more thought into the choice of his global than just writing all their names on a wheel of fortune and then using it to decide which one to cast....

Re: Methadone - running
 

Gath initially merely considered that Marignon's mages were old, and ours were not, so it made sense to speed up their departure from this world. It was only too late that we realized our poor allies also had mages with old age. It's nothing to do at all with any rumors of gankfests.

Re: Methadone - running
 

Do we have an auto-host (that'd ask to be turned off for now, or at least postponed for 1, maybe 2 days), or can I just take my time to consider all the options (and then finally pick the wrong ones, of course :p)..?
