Your indecivenesness is our boon. Let Ermor rule the lands and seas. I claim dominion over the mountaintops and skies.

If you think Ermor can step one foot into Patala land, you are sorely mistaken. Rest easy for now that you live far away foul Caelum ... any pity we had for you when Ulm and Arco seeked you end have vanished. Your foul alliance will be your end.

PS. would really like to play another game of this! I think Ermor's victory grab might be successful after all. I am just way too far away to effect him. =)

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

I neither need nor seek your pity. It would behoove you to save such feelings for yourself.

It is a simple fact that Arco, Ulm, and Utgard chose to burn when they formed their alliance against me. Arco now burns, Ulm is not far behind, and Utgard has conveniently established lands bordering mine.

Bug or feature?

Utterdark makes Agarthans suffer the effects of darkness in battle although while the relevant stats such as precision and attack go down they don't state the cause.

This became instantly apparent in a battle with abysia. Their stats were down and it stated darkness as the reason while mine went down the same amount but with no reason stated.

Seemingly small but definitely going to kill me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

utterdark destroying all income is the real killer there.

No income means all the troops go bye bye. except for ermor's :-(


Yeah we are deadmeat.

Alchemize the gems you're not using into astrals and send it to me. I'll drop all his globals.

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

anyone know where the ermor pretender is? hiding under water somewhere?

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

I agree that the game is likely over. We should not have allowed Ermor to grow as strong as he was. Or listened to the nonsense from Caelum and Ermor about how he was a paper tiger. My congrats to Ermor for a skillfully played game tho.

That said: I have never experienced Utterdark before and I have to say that I think it is overpowered. Vastly so! Not only does it effect income, which is understandable. But it also effects Precision. And Attack. And Defense!!!! Its insane. So, not only is your economy destroyed - which would be bad enough - but your ability to mount any defense is also destroyed. I can seriously not think of a "correct" cost for this spell given that it basically just wins the game for you at a stroke (unless it is dispeled). There is no other level 9 spell which even comes close to this level of power.

Wasn't the original cost of it 150? I find 100 a bit low but really it's also a level 9 alteration ...
