No you goof.. I mean if the roles were reversed and I had been in Calahans position and he in mine. What the hell do you think that means???
Actually I was thinking about going for a Dominion victory if it had been a concession game.
Calahan had hardly any temples and with my number of clams I would have started summoning about 20+ Juggernaughts per turn. (But of course if it HAD been a concession game I'm sure Calahan WOULD have built temples, but seeing as how it was VP game there was really no need for him to have built any so thats not really a true weakness on Calahans part, just one that I falsely perceived him to have)
Ive never actually seen a Dominion victory in a map that size But regardless It would have allowed me to push out with the large number of Immortals I had instead of simply using them for defense. And if anyone doubts the power of those Empowered Wraith Lords I could probably look back and find a turn or two with them singlehandedly wiping out large enemy armies. (Something which I note would be stupid to do without securing a proper retreat path because you never know for sure if you can kill an entire army within the 50 round limit of a battle, and Immortals dont seem to be Immortal if they die in retreat even with friendly dominion from my past experiences with that) Lingchih could probably attest to the annoyance factor of empowered wraith lords and he went nearly insane in Faltering Steps trying to hunt down just ONE empowered Wraith Lord. So I'd like to hear someone here tell Lingchih that an empowered wraith lord isn't that good...

I have no idea how effective the "Hidden in Dust" spell would have really been but I was toying around with that which I could have cast about 4 or 5 times per turn. I had just started doing that a few turns before the end and wish I had gotten to see those undead in a few battles. But I thought it'd be more fun than casting Earth attack 30 times a turn or summoning a bunch more Iron dragons. And given that Calahan seemed to like summoning a lot of undead in his forts I thought it would be fun to fight his undead with better undead.
Of course what no one can see from looking at the turn file is the fact that the other 3 nations had joined my side So Calahan would indeed have been swarmed by all of us as he had feared.
Anyways Congrats on the win Calahan. Sorry I kinda screwed up the end of the game as I did. I'm sure it would have been a lot more interesting otherwise.
