I think there are counters for everything in this game. If C'tis turtles, as in this game, there are ways to combat that. I just didn't have the strength of numbers to do what needed to be done.

Oh Teh Bird! Have your forsaken us?! Please send a sign! Show us the way! Send us help! Oh Teh Bird! Don't we follow all the rules of the Book of Teh Bird?? Don't we clad ourselves like you said? Don't we pray in the temples each day?

Abysia notes the passing of Teh Bird. It laid waste to much of Abysia's army, in the battle outside the walls of Marignon. But in doing so, Teh Bird's army did drop a weapon that would be its doom.

The few survivors of the carnage entered the fabled fortress of Marignon, but teh immortal bird blocked our way. It slew many of our finest warriors (stoopid Phoenix Pyre, you should be fire damage!), but in the end it was destroyed by a zap from a Spirit Helmet that Abysia's brave apprentice had only donned after the first battle.

So long, Bird! We enjoyed the pleasure of meeting you on the field of battle.

-- Darbethor, Apprentice of Abysia

Hmmm? You saw Teh Bird?? Where! What did He say? Has He come to save Marignon? Or are you refering to that ordinary phoenix that joined our ranks for the glory of Teh Bird?

Ah, there goes Marignon. It's damn hard to find a good fire spell against those Abysians... So we are preparing for the final stand. Little hope is left to fend off the fiends from east and west.

Admin: Game postponed until midnight Sat GMT for C'tis

Re: Smack - Running
 

LOL. Turn is in. And this "fiend from the west" only became your enemy because you became ours!

Re: Smack - Running
 

Well that was a damn good battle!!! Just when I was on the brink of victory, my guys snapped defeat from Victor's jaws!!! Now I have nothing left save a dozen naked archers standing valiantly against Pythium's hordes!!!

Re: Smack - Running
 

Lol... I'm lucky that when you retreat you don't retreat back into the fortress, otherwise I would have been screwed. I think the nice thing about the nature of my battle magic is that it forces a larger number of morale checks than most.

Re: Smack - Running
 

"Hordes?" What a crude way to describe the finely tuned battle machine that is the Emerald Empire Expeditionary Force (EEEF for short). Plus, I think you had a shot at knocking off the one sieging force. It wasn't very big and did not have significant mage support. I guess you thought it best to defend the fort you took from C'Tis. Meanwhile, I can not wait until your gone so I can start spreading my domain with gusto. On a similar note, what happened to your capital. It was under 20 000 when I took it.

Lol... C'tis happened to his capitol. Marignon as well. And most of the rest of Machaka's most fertile provinces.
