Bold comments, most likely meant to make me feel immortal while you crush me :D Hopefully we can have a good fight though :)

In a few turns everybody will have so many counters to manikin it's not fun at all; they are so yesterday pretty soon. Besides, hopefully somebody gets Dispel soon, my population is dieing like a flies in a DDT fog :( As Vanheim is perhaps the most dangerous nation (of the ones remaining), it wasn't much of a difficult choice even to take this rather drastic pro-active step. If Pangea (and the potential others swooping in on Vans like vultures) can not stop Vanheim *now*, Van will walk home with this game; they get stronger and stronger by each turn passing.

Agartha's final attack on Vanheim killed almost a whole thirty troops and zero commanders, clearly they are now crippled and unable to defend themselves properly.

Or they are just continuing their diplomatic campaign of untruths to gain an advantage. You be the judge.

Vanheim's SC Ghost King has awoken, their troops are second to none, and they can blood sacrifice. Coming to their aid now or ever is a grave mistake.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

I think who has been telling untruths is pretty clear. Micah is so sore that he is willing to spin against me from beyond the grave. Why would he just mention that one battle, when clearly I lost a hundred this last turn. I have only a handful of troops left, and one of my castles will be breached next turn, the other the turn after. Anyone w/ eyes can look at the troop graphs - Pan has pretty well 10 times the forces as I do. And how am I to blood hunt when my lands are about to be over-run? Why is my dominion so middling then? And how is it that a single ghost king is supposed to withstand massed manikin? Only a total dominions noob would take his claims seriously.

Now, I understand, following your own tactics, I should abandon my castles and head out to fight some lesser threat.

As to why your final attack was so poorly executed, I'll let you dwell on the reasons.

Jarkko's spin is self-evident. Micah's just petty.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Why would I mention that last battle? Because it is the one you referenced (my suicidal attack.) Your subsequent loss to my PD was your own tactical blunder, though all you lost were some huskarls and your ictyid mercs, which the army graph rates the same as skinshifters and einheres.

And my listing of your national strengths wasn't there to say you could hold off Pan, just as a reminder that helping you out might not be in the other players' best interest.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Anyways, I really liked the idea and settings for this game. I wasn't very well prepared for it as I was a last-minute sub, and certainly wouldn't take the same strategy as I did. Vanheim itself is a bit hurt by the settings, as it is so gold hungry, and my placement was... unfortunate.

Hopefully there'll be another one like this soon, as I should be out of this in a couple turns. I'd suggest modifying carrion woods, and limiting dom to 8 or so.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Haha, yes, I am sure the other players are worried about the Van threat, and I have no doubt that my combined total of 30 einheres/skinshifters will repel the measly 5-600 pan troops currently invading :D

but don't let me stop your spinning

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

from QM's OP, and the rules of the game:
Many nations have already been crushed; everyone else seems to have taken their lot with good grace. You might want to consider whether games with these rules are the best fit for you.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Arch, your attitude and the twisting of the truth, as well as your incessant attacks on my character are what I have a problem with, not the in-game action.

Jarkko also backstabbed me, but hasn't put up the same line of BS you've been spouting, and I haven't taken any issue with him. I razed my cap to the ground in-game to do what I could to hurt him, but that's the extent of it.

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

Flame war! Flame war!
Man, I'd take Van over Arco any time, there just isn't much I can do with them...:(

Re: Forge of Godhood - started
 

this is ridiculous, and oh so tiring.

1. In a breaking agreements is fine game, even though I do not think I did, and with what I felt was sufficient cause, I attacked.

2. You emo-raged, and certainly did not take my attack quietly.

3. You threatened to suicide against me.

4. You brought the quarrel to the game thread.

5. Instead of a perfectly strong defense of your castle against the pan hordes, you packed up and went to attack my army, where you were soundly trounced, and I killed your god.

6. Now you engage in hilarious spins about the Van threat.

edit: 7. oh, also, I was not polite in my responses to this behaviour.
