Must say there has certainly been some tough fighting going on in this game from the Pangaean PoV (Point of View). I noticed a few posts back DonC mentioned that the game seems slow since it's past turn 50, yet there has only been 1VP claimed, and there isn't even a clear leader of any sorts. Well that certainly isn't from lack of trying from the Sacred Groves
But despite Pangaea's questionable power, supposed aggression, undeniable treachery, countless fought battles, years of fighting (think it been since turn 20 v Ashdod, and turn 30 v Caelum), numerous spells, enchantments, summons etc. I think I've gained a total of 5 provinces to show for it all
Go go unstoppable war machine!!!
Kheldorn, you are certainly one tough defender. Had a real job to get past our well known choke-point, and had to use an unexpected backdoor entrance to your lands to get anywhere against you
(guess it's especially un-expected when you consider Pangaea the nation of sneaky stealth masters). I remember that fight a few turns back where you held out with just one mage remaining at the end. I watched the fight, seen my enraged troops close in on your last brave, exhausted, lone skelly spamming defender. Then, just when any of them could have delivered that fatal blow to seal a Pan victory, they all remembered that they'd left their cookers on, and all immediately rushed home to turn them off!!! Must confess to uttering a few curse words over that one
I would say I've broken through your lines now, but I'm far from confident of anything against my winged foes with the great defence they've shown so far.
Now if I could only make any headway at all against my southern foes I'd be a happy satyr
With long-term hindsight, I think that all my wars against Caelum and Ashdod has achieved is to ensure that it won't be Caelum, Ashdod or Pangaea who win the game. A long standing deadlock in a war basically just seems to mean that the nations involved fall behind all the others. Oh well, live and learn I guess
Also, think we need to decide something over Ermor/anticipatient. He hasn't been seen on the forums for well over a week now, and I know he's staling in all the games he's still in. Not sure if it's a computer, Hurricane related, or A.N.Other problem that is keeping him away, but guess either way something needs to be done over a stale nation.
