Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

oh yeah oops wrong thread. I was posting from my iphone and got a bit confused. anyway, i'm back now. I'll send my momentum turn in soon

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

So, can we have a new year vacation? I probably won't start with my turn before Monday.

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

Ok, hosting has been postponed until 9 GMT Wednesday.

BTW, it looks like my earth attacks have run their course. Nice defense on your vampire lords this turn. I'm not sure it was worth all the E gems I spent but I guess in the end I got about 6 vampire lords?

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

Great, thanks. Happy New Year everyone!

@Valerius: Maybe it's not wise for me to say this, but you can't kill vampires with assassinations. Unless you manage to make them retreat, that is. So, you killed exactly 0 of them.

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

I've set myself to AI. Anyway, I was doomed since the first turn and the loss of my pretender.
Thanks to all of you (to Valerius in first place) for this game.

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

Would you mind not setting to AI? Currently it would be better to just stale the rest of the turns. That way at least the AI cannot suicide itself. Val can just force host once all turns are in. Or I can try to find a sub whose only responsibility would be to hit end turn once in three days.

Valerius, you own jarls are deserting you and coming over to Pangaean side. They have realized the greatness of Silena. Maybe it's time you did the same and surrendered your empire to the future Pantokrator. :)

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

Doh! I've got to pay closer attention to the battle replays. I thought I was causing some of them to retreat. Why didn't they rout? They lost over 75% of their HP more that once. Was it because they were immortals inside your own dominion?

Yandav, thanks for playing and for hanging in there so long. Psycho, is it really that important to not have C'tis go AI? While my earth attacks may be useless against you, I think I killed a good number of C'tis' mages in that province with them. We may as well just make it another province to fight over in our war.

I appear to be doing quite a fine job of surrendering my empire to Silena, though it isn't my intention. Nice job with the charming Pan - this war is quite educational. This does prove my point, though, that GoNB helped balance the odds between us. :) With that spell having changed sides, things aren't looking good.

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

I don't think that's the case, since I did see them retreat in the past. Maybe they were too fatigued from casting spells. I didn't watch those battles closely myself.

Well, it has proven quite important so far. It was a big stopper to you. I didn't know about earth attacks, though.

We are fighting in my territory all the time. Your empire is still pretty safe. But, you've been awfully quiet the last couple of turns. I have a bad feeling you are preparing something big.

Re: Momentum 2 - Running
 

It certainly had an impact earlier in the game, when I tried to storm his fort on the cheap and payed for it. Since then I've just ignored it and to some extent (especially now that the tide is turning) I don't mind having him between us. I'd estimate I've killed a third of his mages there. I was going for another batch this turn. It's up to you: if you think it important not to have C'tis go AI we can ask yandav to change his orders and I'll just force host when all the other turns are in.

Well, we were. As this turn demonstrated, that is changing. As for planning something big ... the problem is I'm not. For some reason, I'm experiencing financial difficulties so there's not much recruitment going on. This has made me hesitant to risk the forces I've got since there won't be replacements. I liked it better when I could max out my recruitment queue each month. :)
