I think there are kindof on the border between SC/thug, but properly equiped they are more in the SC territory. They are certainly much stronger than your average thug. To illustrate my point - one of these Van's Sea King just killed my well equiped SC in 1 vs 1 duel in another battle this turn.

I'm probably going to need a 24 hour extension on this turn, please. Work is crazy busy, and in the evenings I'm trying to watch the World Series, since my Texas Rangers are in it. And, Van just kicked my butt. So, I need to do some work. I'm about 1/3 done with this turn, but Friday night I will be able to devote my full thought to the game.

Thanks,
Ling

All right.

Re: "A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...
 

Corwin, in retrospect, perhaps with just arrowfend, thunder wards and fog warriors (and some fire fends probably) the battle could've ended better for me, as you cleverly exploited my Army of Gold and the main damage sources on your side were thunderstrikes that wiped trolls faster than they regenerated. With all the damage from your community and archers absorbed by regenerating trolls... Anyway, it's lost now. I was also surprised with my Sea King success underwater, btw, however I agree that Sea Kings properly equipped are more on the SC side.
Lingchih, I tested the battle in my tester prog, and Grendelkins were of litle help to you there. In my test with full TC army under Army of gold + Fog warrioirs I lost about 20 skinshifters. Now it doesn't matter however as the northern battle was more important.

Re: "A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...
 

Yeah, I trust your tests. Grendlkin are generally not much but undefended Prov raiders. I guess I'll have to send my mages. It's a shame... they were busy.

Re: "A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...
 

Well this turn was fun to watch, although Corwin I expected a little more from you in all fairness, that army would have lost against me.

I think mass protection would had been far better for you Dimaz, not sure army of gold was a good move against an air nation.

Lingchih, you just got ***** slapped man. Grendelkin are not worth summoning IMO.

*hopes somebody is keeping a turn file they'll post at some later stage* !

As to Bogus orders, Bogus himself can be used right?

Re: "A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...
 

Against you I would have used a different army. ;)

Also you should take into consideration that 90% of that army was a reminder from the days when this world was younger - it is what I have used to crash Agartha and C'tis, I've brought it all the way across the map from the east. Naturally by the endgame it is seriously outdated, but I needed to do something with all these tons of archers and principles. So I've used it as a chaff, to slow down Van's troops while my mages would do heavy lifting. Couldn't really do much else with it, since I knew I would be fighting against army of gold+storm+arrowfend+fog warriors.

At the end it've worked well enough. Van had much better soldiers but it were mages + artifacts/items/SCs that have carried a day.

Yeap, I don't see why not.
