Default Re: A quick question about Man

Legend? lol, no labels pls. Besides, many players can kick my arse, Jacques included.

I remember Arhyper & Jacqnew fondly, they were my two first games (they were simultaneous). My Ermorian design proved to be non optimal at that time (or at least I have done better afterwards with some changes in scales & candles as discussed in the newsgroup).

That was like 2 years ago. Funny that at the time Caelum was considered the weakest nation. Then Jacques published his Jacqstorm tactics in the CGOnline forum (no longer existing) and proceeded to nail us with them in the Jacqnew game. Perception of Caelum changed a bit after that.

Arthyper was also a pretty interesting game. My initial expansion sucked horribly but a pact with Arco allowed me to make up for it in the long term, the close quarters however limited my reanimation a lot, as I could not push up my Dominion without hurting my ally.
Dealing with Jacques soul slaying Squigheads was a headache for half the players in this game. Eventually I cast GoR on a unholy Knight & got a mindless (!) commander supposedly immune to Soul Slay (and with 25 undead leadership because of being undead, so he could supposedly hold an horde of skeletons if every other commander perished), but I never got to field him as the game was declared over before that as Jacques had some RL trouble to keep playing & it made little sense to go on without him at that stage.
