Don't worry though, I have some ideas yet on how to take them

Heh...

Tell me where they are...

I have ways of making important commanders die

Okay

Please excuse me for a moment whilst I express myself gleefully.

Ding dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead!

Nephele the air queen was struck down by a mind hunt this turn, and while I lost a thug its unfortunate demise does nothing to contain my glee! Woohoo, dead elemental royalty. And it looks like a queen of the deeps may have also gone down this turn. Any confirmation on that, licker?

Haven't seen the turn yet, but now that Caelum is showing me his Eagle Kings again, they are getting some attention

It's nice when your research is mostly done so you can spare the extra mage power to do 'other' things

I think Caelum already knows this though

You are having better luck with your mind hunts than me rdonji. You only have all the rest of the royalty and all the Amaesha Spenta's to go!

Carpetbagger · #**156** February 18th, 2009, 04:20 AM

Also are the druids even playing in this game? They have been very quite.

That's partly because my mind hunts are generally not targeting units with multiple forms :P If you noticed, you successfully mind hunted one of me oni generals last turn and got it killed by making it start the battle ethereal with only a little health left. But my mind hunts haven't felt terribly successful either. I am so looking forward to having to kill all of the above-named entities....

The druids of marvani have been in a sort of mexican stand off with the Giants, where they spent their time staring across the fields at each other trying to decide what to do.

Of course this has only helped the little bird men since the massive might of the giant armies have not yet been unleashed.

Instead we send death angels, earth elementals, and hoards of ghouls to pick and poke at various birdy targets.

The success has been admittedly limited, but the cost is essentially zero. Once we are ready to unleash the rest of our forces surely the world will tremble under our mighty feet.

Okay, I'd like to order a few more turns like that last one

! Two elemental royalties and eagle kings down, at a cost of 20 gems. You can believe I am celebrating that victory. Only low point of the turn is the dome being put back up over bandar-kadek. Oh well, I can accept that.

Nicely done (or luckily done) my mage hunting hasn't been as effective lately, but that just means Caelum is hiding his mages again

Other than in the sea, which appears to be a bit of a lost cause for the giants at this point
