So what do we do with Vanheim?

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

I think it's fine to turn him AI. He's only bordering Oceania and Caelum, and he's just got a huge pile of trolls in his one province. I can't see anyone having fun with that, he's probably got no cash to recruit anything. The AI can enjoy a little troll rampage through his former lands.

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

By all means AI me. The troll rampage was all I had planned after Oceania boiled up from the seas to retake Marverni a while back and I have had neither cash nor gems for a few turns now.

Sorry not to have been more involved - the combination of picking up someone else's game half-way and getting married next month conspired to keep me from the login screen.

Oops, sorry! I thought you were not around http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif. I wouldn't presume to think it's fine to ask to turn you AI when you are still here!

But if you agree, then there's no problem! I'm about to get squished, and whether it's between some stone trolls and a hard place, or just a hard place and a harder place, the end result will be the same. Seafood surprise for everyone! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

We had some good battles over Marverni land, and I had a lot of fun fighting Vanheim. Hope you had fun too!

Beef, I didn't want to just set you AI like that, that's why I've been asking again. It's just a general consensus that at the state that Vanheim is in right now it wouldn't really be any fun to continue playing with them, so you don't have to feel like you're obliged to do that. There are a lot better things that you could do than continue playing in such a position, and preparing a wedding takes a lot of time. I'll set Vanheim to AI in a few hours, then. Have a nice marriage!

Whoop, 4 Tartarians dead this turn. That hurt. That should teach me to charge into rearmost with flying as third command when the enemy is perfectly capable of Petrify... If I would have stayed in the back row things might have been different.

It's funny to see that a single scout was just as successful in killing off enemy units as three decked out Tartarians. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

vfb/Ich, seriously it's no problem; the wedding's taking up every free moment right now!

Vanheim this game was a funny one; once I lost Marverni it was just a matter of delaying the inevitable, hence the army of trolls. Hope that they'll cause a bit of havoc for someone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'll be watching the boards so do let me know how it goes.

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Man, I would have loved to have seen that battle with the Tartarians. Must have been something.

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Oh, it was a slaughter. I didn't expect that they'd be decimated like that at all. Somehow me setting Vanheim to AI didn't work. Zeldor did it this turn, though, and since he gave some more orders it's as good as if it had succeeded last turn.

Admit it, Oceania, my wolves are just too awesome units to be pitted against! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Good call with the Grip of Winter, though. In hindsight, I should have set all my units to "Attack monsters" instead of "Attack rearmost", though, that ol' Kraken is still escaping his fate. Give me my Sushi!

Re: Turn 81 hosted!
 

Yes, sadly for Oceania, Caelum's Army of Lead plus Fog Warriors will turn even the most pitful gaggle of wolves into a force to be reckoned with. Plus the accompanying Tartarian did a pretty good job of leeching the souls of our brave warriors!

Unfortunately Oceania is all of out tricks now, so it is time for us to go hide beneath the waves. No sushi for you! We will surface again when the time is right.
