Re: Rats to go down with ship (slowly)
<Bitter> Right. I've sent my Pretender to gun down a Skaven commander that was starting to really get on my nerves (and hopefully snatch one item or two from said commander). The mission was a success, and my Pretender routed the enemy army. Then I yelled 'Victory!' and my Pretender proceeded to cast Immolation on himself. Mind you, the other targets in the vicinity were utterly harmless, and my Pretender was 100% Fire Unresistant.
The end result is, of course, a Pretender back in the capital, no items, and one province still held by the suicide-inducing PD of doom. Of course, it wasn't exactly the biggest battle in the war, but I shudder to think of what else the spellcasting AI might shoot out. Is that sort of stroke of genius current, and I've just been lucky so far? </Bitter>
That aside, that war with Skaven is amazing funny in the 'sheer incompetence' department (mine, that is). I guess it'd help if I actually had some sort of strategy and tactics that didn't suck. At least I can do the AI thing and pump armies left and right, hoping Skaven will eventually run out of money... hey, if the AI is holding me down in another game that way, I guess it works. Next time, remind me to stay neutral if I can't fight three-against-one.
In unrelated news, I'd appreciate an extra 24 hours on December 24, as I'll spend most of the day trekking back to France.
