Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

I haven't seen the latest turn yet (that's what I get for looking here first and ruining the surprise), but it sounds like good news from CUnknown and bad news from Boron! I went from "yeah" to "oh, crap".

Boron, did you fly your Moloch somewhere and attack me? Was he alone or did he have help? Damn, I knew something bad was going to happen. Damn, damn, damn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hehe, you're gonna love it, jeffr... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

You do realize, Boron, that me and CU just fought a long, tiring, and ultimately futile war. I'd say, combined with the eternal war with Abysia, I have far more war-turns (I demand double the respect for the turns when I was ganked! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) than anyone: If that gets me into the superpower-class (replacing Pangaea who has only, what, 4 capitals and 50+ provinces), all the more power to me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

EDIT: And weren't you ready to throw in the towel against the horrible Pan just a turn ago yourself? Since when am I scarier than him?

No offense vs. Ryleh and the fishs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
My reasoning is just if i would play ryleh i would have at least 100 clams now probably. If this is true you are definitely the strongest nation now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif.

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

Boron, I have to protest you calling me and Ryleh "superpowers" when another faction (that shall remain nameless) has like half the freaking map and two powerful globals up. Jeffr is by far the most powerful right now. There's no way I'd be able to beat him by myself, and honestly, I think he might be able to hold us both off, at least for a while.

If you faught that last battle in his dominion you would have lost, even with your god. There's no way he can be invaded seriously until Gift of Health is dispelled, and even then he can put it right back up. He's got three capitals, his gem income is great.

Jeffr must be stopped, then I can worry about Jurri and you guys can worry about me and/or Jurri. However, I'm likely to be in shambles from fighting Jeffr, even if I win. I have to 1) beat Jeffr, not even close to a guarentee. then 2) beat him in good enough shape to hold off the rest of the world. That seems extremely unlikely. In fact, why am I doing this??? I feel like I'm working for Jurri but I don't see my any other real option. Without Boron to help against Jeffr, it would be impossible to beat him.

So, Jeffr:

Why are there suddenly white centaurs within the lovely dominion of His Luminescence, Pasha-Du, the Wise and Noble Shedu of Arco?

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

Sorry about that, just passing thru http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'll be moving on. My other route was blocked by a humongous blood army.

I took my turn, but the server is down.

Well, I was able to repel Ulm's first invasion, although the Earth Attacks were a pain.

Boron's SC Moloch was another matter and reminded me that we are not using Zen's item mod, so the Blood Thorn is still extremely powerful. His fire 9, water 9 Moloch basically destroyed my army all by himself. I couldn't dent him and he looks unstoppable by my current forces, which were tailored for army vs army battles. I'm not optimistic.

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

Server is back up.

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

Hey Folks:

I am going on a short trip: Late Saturday afternoon - late Monday afternoon. (It's Independence Day weekend here in the USA.)

Any chace we could slow up the quickhost a wee little bit just to make sure I (and others who might be traveling this weekend) don't stale?

Thanks.

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Boron, you show me how you fight Chris and Aku to a stand-still and clam efficiently at the same time, and I'll show you a winner! 100 clams... sheesh, talk about ridiculous.

jeffr: Looks like Ratte wasn't unstoppable at all! Dude, that was a sublime way of taking him down: I never would have thought of using poison, of all things! Just plain awesome!

Re: Ulm becomes the superpower
 

I will slow it to 72 hour host.
