Re: Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)
 

There was a battle in Ireme. Most of the province has been conquered blah blah.

Ctis losses:
0/10 commanders, 145/222 units, 20/20 undead.
Tien Chi losses:
7/26 commanders, 59/222 units, 5/6 magic beings.

So... I won and have now besieged the fortress, but at a fairly heavy cost in units. TC had to bring out a buttload of mages to counter me, and lost several of those. You can see their research suddenly slacking off on the score graph. Watching the battle, I seem to have won in large part thanks to my several Reborn and Sauromancers summoning up large armies of skeletons, leading to Tien Chi routing first.

Any tips on strategic lessons I should be learning here?

Very nice battle..Mistake i did was to retreat my mages and my chariots got locked behind melees. Should have let my mages banish you all night long.

Oh my..Good guess Erik. You decimated almost all my mages effectively crippling me :) I should have set them to retreat now. I'm so unexperienced when it comes to using mages. Found out they are useless if you don't script them and then i can't find the right way to script them :(

ErikM needs an extension guys. He's got some RL challenges. So I'll extend 24 hours for now.

Where? Did any of my arrows hit??? :confused:

Re: Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)
 

I think they hit on 100% except u managed to kill only one of my commanders. He was immortal, pity it was inside your dominion :( But i meant about you all attacking me at a same time hehe i wonder if i stand a chance :D I lost about 5 provinces in 1 turn :D

Re: Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)
 

Thanks for the info! I knew your commanders are tough and I would need 2 or more arrows to kill each one. What I didn't know was how well distributed amongst the 15 commanders the hits would be. Sounds like they are distributed pretty well, too bad....:(

Re: Pernicious Peanut - Newbie only 4 player game (Running)
 

Yeah seems like waste in this particular case. But still i guess if u attacked me in that turn they would be wounded and would die easier. Very interesting spell :)

As Maer has now been officially blood-sacrificed in the temple of (in?)justice, I recommend contacting him on IRC or here for your future needs :)
