In any case, massed banishers does not seem like a great fit with skelli-spammers. But I could be wrong.

Re: Hmm.
 

maybe a mass soul slay could wipe out the vq?

Re: Hmm.
 

spam evocations at her, or get to her before she can buff up. most nations have her as their only flyer, makes it easy to target.

Re: Hmm.
 

He's playing spring and autumn tc - there's a lot of flying targets out there.

Re: Hmm.
 

Massed banishers is the traditional counter to skelly spamming. It works particularly well for nations like TC or Pythium since they can also Quicken thier banishers. Everyone else just has to use the cheapo priests. You need more than a 1:1 ratio (priest:spammer) tho. The higher the better.

Re: Hmm.
 

even soulslay is hard if you give her an antimagic medallion

Re: Hmm.
 

forgot to mention, new turn is up

Re: Hmm.
 

Can anybody tell me why suddenly I have 5 cultists attacking a foreign (Tien Chi) country ? Is that normal for Ermor to happen ?

Re: Hmm.
 

yes its normal, and incase anyone else didnt know the new turns up. if somehow you conquer the province and you wish to remain peaceful with said nation then find a way to suicide cultist and give back said province and refund all gems/income

Re: Hmm.
 

I think it would be folly to abandon your cultists. They're YOUR cultists, after all. What kind of god would you be if you sacrificed your worshippers just to keep the peace with some false idol who in any case is already involved in a war on another front?

Re: Hmm.
 

Maybe it was an ermorian cultist event, or maybe you attacked tien chi http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Hmm.
 

it was the event, I'll take back the province, and not hold it against you, since it was the RNG that did it.

Re: Hmm.
 

Wonder if my scouts can get there in time =)

Re: Hmm.
 

why, trying to start a war with ermor too?

Re: Hmm.
 

Well, if Ermor is disclaiming interest in the province, I don't see why it needs to go back to you =).

Re: Hmm.
 

oops, new turn, too slow, and oh, oh my, looks like one of your scouts couldn't even make it past a few militiamen. sorry about that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Hmm.
 

Well, poor guy only had one eye. Guess they snuck up from his other side.

Re: Hmm.
 

Wow, Marignon is really doing well. I suppose it helps to not be surrounded by vampire queens and other nasty immortals like I am http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Hmm.
 

f9 flagelants can be pretty nasty

Re: Hmm.
 

f9 s/a9 flagelants even more so

Re: Hmm.
 

No no no, it's because No one expects the spanish inquisition.!

Re: Hmm.
 

Yeah, but then you have like turmoil 3/sloth 3 so the only thing you CAN recruit are flagellants.

Re: Hmm.
 

Whatever it is, its working for them in this game

Re: Hmm.
 

I suspect they cleverly got placed near to a bunch of independents no one else was next to. Strategy is key.

Re: Hmm.
 

well they did get to take all the independants I would have taken had you not attacked me without warning, so I guess there is that.

The thing is, the flagellents are good, but pretty vulnerable to say, archers, since they have no shields.

Re: Hmm.
 

Right, so the real problem was that Marignon didn't have any drunk insane giant vikings at their rear to slow 'em down.

Muahaha

Re: Hmm.
 

Attacking Knightsmarsh was in direct violation of our agreement which nullified our NAP. Demanding its income was an insult which can not be forgiven. For this your lands will be burned and your small folk carried back as slaves. It will be war...Ulm shall burn.

Re: Hmm.
 

just shmonks turn to go

two turns in a row
 

Sweet, I get to do 2 turns back to back! I'm still at work, but I'll be home in about an hour and can play my turns then. I'll post when the new turn has hosted.

New Turn
 

New turn is up!

Re: New Turn
 

hurray!

Re: New Turn
 

and I got my capitol back! It is hillarious when a giant retreats and then runs into a watchtower wall, then waits as protection 0 demons of heavenly fire tear them apart.

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame) - started!!!
 

i thought i would just let everyone know that for the next week and a half (ish), i will probably only be able to play my turns every 24 hours. i may also get someone (a friend i know) to sub a few turns for me, if i'm unable to play. if this presents a real problem for anyone, please let me know asap.

thanks for your understanding and patience.

((note: i don't expect you to change the quickhost, i just mean that if everyone keeps playing their turns within 12 hours of host, that you will always be waiting for me, for the next week and a half))

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame) - started!!!
 

I would def miss turns if it went to 12h. I don't have a fixed schedual, but it would be rare for me not to be able to complete a turn within 24h.

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame) - started!!!
 

basically what he is saying is there is only a small window for him to play his turn, and likely might even stale given this limitatin. at least thats what it sounds like to me.

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame) - started!!!
 

no, that's not what i mean at all. i just mean that as it's going now, usually after 12 hours, there is one or two people left to play their turns and we (myself included) harass those one or two people to play their turns when there are still 12 hours left. i'm just saying that at the rate we're going, i will be one of thsoe people, and no encouragement will speed me up.

retreating giants
 

That WAS kind of funny. Have fun in your capital, you won't keep it long.

.
 

would just like to make one point here: no matter how long it takes and no matter how it is achieved PANGEA WILL BE RAZED TO THE GROUND

Re: .
 

wont stop me from bugging ya about it =)

Re: .
 

4 more hours or untill Marignon logs in!

Re: .
 

new turns up and Ygorl will be subing for me from this saturday to next unless anyone objects

Oooh, scary vampires. They die from splinters!
 

Bwahahaha.

Re: Oooh, scary vampires. They die from splinters!
 

but they come back same turn. funny how immortality works.

Re: Oooh, scary vampires. They die from splinters!
 

You left your hat outside, dude.

Re: Oooh, scary vampires. They die from splinters!
 

aw, 5 death gems lost. How shall I recover? honestly its pretty fun thinking ways around eachother's strategies, but having to respond to your cocky attitude in kind is kind of tedious.

Re: Oooh, scary vampires. They die from splinters!
 

ok, at least 3 people from this game are going out of town for the weekend. Cast and me, then talking to nah about subbing for me in Titans I was told he would be out of town too.

Think we could turn off the times on this game from friday night to sunday night....pleeeeease?

Re: A Brief Pause
 

Yeah that would be good for me, even if I can find a way to get a turn in,it'll be a thing of hungover pain.

Re: A Brief Pause
 

i concur. turning off is ideal for all people involved. all important people anyways http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

(p.s. i <3 you all!)

Re: A Brief Pause
 

lol your votes don't count

Seeing as mine does, I don't mind. Though I am not at war with any of you =)

Seriously its fine with me. Pausing won't hurt at all, skipping 3 potential turns would be really unfair at this point.

Re: A Brief Pause
 

Sure, no problem.
