VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[Aezeal]

I can't remember any events this turn..

How are the other pplz in the world with thugs..

I've only outfitted one vanjarl semi-decently for the rest I'm relying on galderman/volva and my good troops einheres and skinshifters.

I'm planning to do some summoning the next turns but I've not got much experience with SC or thugging

[Ghill]

I lost every battle except one...I didn't even HIT a single super combatant...I have been reduced to 1/3 of my original territory...and I neglected to stock up on priests for anti-demon work...*whimper*

On the posotive side, you cannot possibly afford to keep all of your SC's attacking me for more than a few turns, and I should be able to defeat your main army with a well placed horde of archers. I hope.

[Zenzei]

Aezeal: Vanjarls make kick *** thugs with a right bless(EN), little equipment and some buffs. If you haven't taken a bless with jarls in mind, little more equipment is needed.

[Karlem]

Ghill, you took 2 provinces and are sieging one of my castles... not so bad considering I begun with a quite better possition. What is true is that probably this wasn't the kind war you expected, but in 3 to 1 I cannot afford to clash armies against armies.

You had some quite nice chasis for thugs with the troll kings, you could have tried to outfit them.that would have been a nasty surprise.

By the wa, who is the voyeur? My last battels have been under some astral windows and I would like to know if they liked them or not

[Aezeal]

Hmm personally I'd throw soulslays on every SC that comes my way.. lol no idea how to deal with them otherwise.

It wasn't me I'd have no idea where to look, but I didn't even know you would know if a astral window was cast either.

have fun you all... let me know what tricks are used, since we should all be nubs but it seems I'm not so updated on tricks as some of us

[James243]

Aezeal, not sure if Khan'Gar qualifies as a supercombatant, but your soulslay strategy worked pretty well against him... Next game I'll figure out how to defend my pretender better. Or maybe I'll try being a fountain or one of those standing stones...

This game has been fantastic in terms of teaching me - I really didn't know much about bless, improving mages, etc, plus a gazillion other things...

[Zenzei]

Karlem, I bought the best seat tickets to several Mictlan vs. Patala matches.

[Zenzei]

This turn Ulm managed to capture 5 provinces from Mictlan, which is not bad but certainly isn't good enough either because Mictlan took more than 5 provinces from Patala. In addition to that, Patala's situation is already dire because the proud warriors of monkey people can't match the dukes of hell in personal combat and therefore vast majority of Patala's armies are decimated after two turns of war. It remains to be seen if Patala's powerful mages can make the difference. It's possible that damage has already been done though.

I also failed to kill Ethanim with my pretender, which I thought would be a cakewalk because the archdevil and my pretender had almost exactly same stats but I had significantly more HP and soul vortex on my combatant. All in all, I'd say Mictlan won the first round pretty clearly.

[Karlem]

Is Ixil coming for next round?

Good first round of combats, just a question, what had happened if I had found any of your Ranger squads patrolling last turns? You would have violated the NAP because that could have been easily considered and attack...

[Karlem]

Ah, and Zenzei, this is third round, first round was Arcos, second Patala and now third..... you took just 3 provinces from me, 2 were previously attacked by Patala. You also killed about 70 Patalan units by error I assume .

Let's see fourth round, but expect the unexpected .
