I have seen several hundred pearls worth of seraphs, I'm sure there is plenty behind that nexus.

I suspect the only way to take it down is to kill it's caster which I assume is his pretender.

I think I could pull that off by wishing for him but that would do nothing about the SC's already running about and I'm sure he could be called back quickly.

I don't think you can wish for my pretender. You could only wish for an other Oracle. Can someone confirm this?

He would just get another Oracle but not your pretender.

I thought if you wished for a pretender *BY NAME* the guy shows up but doesn't change sides. Do it in a province where you have a lot of firepower and he's dead unless he's scripted to teleport out or something.

The game is officially finished. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Checkered.gif[/img]

Congratulations Yandav!

Thanks everyone for the good game.
I hope you enjoyed it as I did. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Well, thanks Falkor and everyone, this game was a lot of fun and I learnt a lot ( especially about ritual attack spells thanks to Niefelheim and Sauromatia http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ). I 've been lucky during this game because my first two opponents ( Pangaea and Arcoscephale ) didn't have any archers which are a terrible threat for my ( almost ) naked sacred troops.

I was the one casting earth attack and leprosy over and over on that huge +600 stack of yours.

Oh, and what were the under-water nations doing the whole game? Hadn't heard so much as a peep from them.

We didn't do much.

After I built up a good army I kicked Sauromantia out of the ocean and then the rest of the game R'yleh and I sat there staring at each other.

Neither one of us was really in a position to want to attack.

I had a bunch of underwater-capable Sauromantian troops staring at me and thus I didn't want to send forth anything like my whole army, yet I would have needed much of it to crack his fortresses unless they died of starvation. I had figured he could feed his troops with magic until near the end when I discovered at least some of his troops were starving.

He tried to go into the eastern sea and got kicked back out by the giants. Had Kailasa finished taking out the giants on land we would have been going after that sea. He had more astral casters than I did but at the end I was beginning to field Searphs. They would finally have given me the mobility to start harassing R'yleh. Also, the Kailasa/Sauromantia war meant my army no longer needed to watch the flank and could have been used offensively.

Long ago I realized there was no chance in the world of winning this, I was only looking to conquer the seas.
