Well, I am strong, there's no question. But I'm pretty sure I didn't overestimate your gem income, Jurri--if you've got a 50-100 pearl income a turn, that's way more than I'm making. I bet you're making over 100 pearls a turn, but even 75 would be massive compared to what I'm pulling in these days.

You see, you took down my Deep Blood Well, first of all (I put over 200 gems in that thing! I'm not sure if I even broke even on it.) And you (and the horrors) are killing my commanders who have my clams and bloodstones--so, my gem income has gone down sharply since I started war with Jurri. I bet I'm not even at a 1/4 of what Jurri is making, probably more like an 1/8th.

My SC production is down to about 0 right now, maybe 1 every 3-4 turns, and I lose more than that. My armies are powerful, but will be whittled down over time, and are basically useless anyway, since Jurri can just go behind them with SCs and take the provinces left in their wake. I can't stop his SCs with anything I have besides my armies, and he'll just never attack them.

I'm making a Soul Contract a turn, and that's great and all, but the devils it produces are worthless at this stage in the game--any one of Jurri's golem SCs can beat an infinite number of them with 0 chance of dying. And the golems teleport, meaning I can't ever get away from them. So that means if I want to use my devils, they'd have to be part of an army, making them worthless, since armies are worthless.

I've got a great Abomination SC with 2 levels of earth magic. It would be a terror until it gets soul slayed, which will happen fairly soon after its first battle, I'd imagine.

I thought that Boron's Astral Corruption would greatly help me out, since I already had the armies I needed, and Jurri only had the gem income at that point, and would have to summon his army. But, with the 'Returning' spell, Jurri is basically immune to Astral Corruption. It's killed my god, I lose items, I lose commanders, I lost a ring of sorcery, etc. One of my biggest strengths--Earth Attack--is not worth much at all because of Astral Corruption, but mostly Returning.

Anyway, enough whining! I'll get you next time, Jurri!

That is, unless Pasha wants to change his mind and attack Jurri full force? Pasha gets to decide if the game continues or not. If he wishes to give the game to Jurri, he has that right also.
