I was hoping to avoid using one of my delays but I need more time to prepare a defense against Arco's onslaught. Hosting postponed by 30 hours.

Hey now you jumped me with pre placed stealthy thugs. Besides i'd hardly call what i've been doing so far an onslaught =P

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

I just sent in my turn so wait a few minutes and we can assess the situation. I don't think things will look good for me... ;)

Edit: Well, not a complete disaster. Didn't start off too well with two failed attempts to jump your tarts but I did get a few wins in later on. I'm still on the defensive though as I wasn't really prepared for this fight but felt I had to act when you attacked Man.

Btw, none of the thugs were pre-placed; they all cloud trapezed in the turn I decided to attack.

Okay that turn was a disaster. I dont know why but I have some sort of problem with disappearing tartarians.
I dont get it... The combats in 50 and 62 have somehow killed my Tarts even though I won the combats.
Im also missing a golem and I have no idea what happened to it. They're not on my nation overview or anything.

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

I can explain the tarts in 50 and 62. They both defeated my cloud trapezing thugs and then proceeded to their destinations (41 and 57), where they met their ends. "A gentleman of poor character" was done in by the mute affliction he picked up fighting my thugs interfering with his buff routine. "No tartarians here, nope none" didn't have resist lightning scripted and was killed mainly by thunderstrike, with a herald lance contributing.

But I have no explanation for the golem as I didn't fight him.

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

Oh righto they fought twice. Somehow didnt catch that. As for the golem he seems to have wandered off someplace I cannot find, probably depression from seeing his pair die to mans green knight. Oh well.
I doubt i'm going to beat you and man to be honest. I really should have just gone after you first but I was kinda bored and wanted to try some anti SC tactics against the treants. Unfortunately I have been busy with your thugs =/

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

I think you're right that it would have been better to go after me first. Ermor and Man will still be fighting for a while and if you had hit me with all those SCs by surprise there's a good chance I wouldn't have recovered.

Were you able to find that golem? It bothers me that he just disappeared. I can't think of why that might have happened: it's a small game, no rollbacks have taken place, etc. What was he doing last? Is there any chance maybe he was magic dueled, assassinated, something like that?

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

I wouldnt worry about it a golem isn't a big deal at this point of the game. Ill go trawl through the turn files when I have some time.
Now I seem to be losing my tarts at a disturbing rate. They're a lot more fragile than I thought initially.

The fun part is I get to cook up all sorts of world ending goodies while I get driven back.

Re: Crucible - MA, CBM, EDM, fast pace (30 hour hosting entire game) - Running
 

Well, I'm not sure about being driven back - so far most of the fighting has taken place on my territory. But that world ending stuff sounds worrisome...

Glamoured thugs are pretty good at killing tarts, though it seems less hassle to just have blood mages cast life for a life so I ordered a shipment of vampire lords to greet the next batch of intruders. :)
