My empire consists of wastelands devoid of income and gems, in case people are planning to invade me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

You and me both. So if I send over my 14 starving guys led by a commander with only half a suit of armor, you think we could have an interesting battle?

Hmmm... I'm looking at these tactics now (for creating a Pretender) for my next game. And I can see why it depends. So many choices, so few games...

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

So Victor and his merry band of Villains are good for something like that? And here I was looking for some cheap flack for helping me take a cavalry province.

Or am I doing that? Maybe, maybe not. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Turn 20

The province tally is: Machaka 20, Ermor 19, Marignon 14, Pythium 11, Man 11, Jotunheim 11, Arcosephale 10, and Pangaea 9. Obscuro is open for bidding.

Alneyan played substitute for Pythium this turn. A big thanks to him for keeping the game moving without hurting the missing player more than necessary!

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

Yeah victor is weak, but he has a niche use. Particularly vs nations with vulernable PD. If you need chaff for a heavy cav province just recruit up some militia or slingers or something.

Turn 20

Everything going it merry way.

I have some difficult decisions to make.

Re: PBEM game: The first step (Open)
 

Turn 20 - the villains did a great job of... firing arrows at the Indy provinces. Now I just need to find 4 magic sites in one province that gives me 5 or 6 total gem income per turn. Ok, I'll stop dreaming. -sigh-

Can't wait for me to get my 5th hero in the HOF. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Only 6 more posts and I'm no longer a private. Woohoo!!

Speaking of gem income, what's the most income you've seen from one province, not counting your home/starting province? In one SP game I think it was 4 gems per turn, 2 magic sites with 2 gem income each. Have people gotten lucky and seen more like 6 or 7? Just checking.
