Bah. You've got enough money to afford scouts?

Re: Shepherds of Creation Game 1 Thread
 

After two quickly done turns, I find that the Big B might be coming for me. Four armies on my border; three of them look manageable, but one consists of up to 230 troops which may be more of a problem.

And a public apology to Caaelum. The one help you asked me for against B - cash - was the one I'm least able to give. Sorry. My income levels are truely pathetic, and giants get through a lot of food. Then there's the accidental damage bills. The average lifespan of door around here is around 3 weeks, and nobody's prepared to insure us anymore...

What, you've got the option to recruit them? Never seen one, no sir!

So, how's the good fight? Marignon has wasted a largish amount of dudes in a sillily strong knight province, which is always worth a laugh. Other than that, it looks bleak. Well, perhaps good ol' Soapy will take care of the army on our border, what with his winning streak in the HoF and all...

The Great God Bolthorn (all praise to His mighty name etc) has come down like a ton of snow on a couple of Baphomet's armies. But there are more of them popping up all over the place.

Also, he's building temples like mad. It'd be worth all our whiles to target them as soon as possible.

By the way, I have a large surpus of air gems; anyone willing to turn them into an air booster or staff of storms could make a good profit.

I hit const-4 in probably 2 turns, so I'll tell you when that happens... by then I should have an air-3 mage at a lab. But I sorta forget what level that stuff is at http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Being stuck at drain-2 is sort of bleak... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I have scouts all over. I happened to see the battle in between Caelum and Pangaea, with 200 vine-units, 20ish hama dryads, an earth mother and a lord of fertility all against a harpy scout. Why can't I find any cool provinces like that?

Re: Shepherds of Creation Game 1 Thread
 

Where? Where? Where do we have 200 vine-units, 20ish hama dryads, an earth mother and a lord of fertility? Some dumb generals must be hiding those armies somewhere from our high leaders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

No, those were the indies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I was confused at first, reading "Pangaea attacks independents" and seeing this massive army... then I started wondering why you had 2 gods... then I realized your army was just the single harpy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Shepherds of Creation Game 1 Thread
 

The attacking scout trick really pays of in this game, it has so far helped me a avoid:
*The province with two pretenders and hordes of vine men
*A province with 40 trolls
*A province with 6 Handmaidens of Death
*A province with ten darkvines plus 70 mandragora, vine men and manikens

Um, Jotunheim asked me for gold, and I accidentally sent 100 gold to Pangaea instead... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Sorry!
