Those two sites are placed by default. Its shamed to see Lanka quit so early, becuase one of them is just beside his capitel. But I agree this map is really full of interesting sites. I got 2 sites of AS mages, agar got the wizard, fom got the DSB guys, and the enchantness/magus is almost everywhere. My most favorite is a Blood-40 bonus. You could have guessed why I could afford almost every blood unique summons.

Thats expected. So I did not continue the first war, otherwise I would be the target too obviously.

They need to be nude to seduce, thats my opinion. Assassin with uber bless is a good idea though. Not sure if the S9 bless is useful against Mind Hunts.

If they had appeared about 10 turns earlier, I would have not too much resources to deal with them. Most of my SCs were busy in the Formoria/Sauromatia and I could not afford teleporting squads yet.
After the situation was stable, even air queens are no more important for me.

Shall we declare the game is over now?

Gregstrom · #**203** July 4th, 2009, 05:09 AM

Fine by me.

Bananadine · #**204** July 4th, 2009, 10:33 PM

Oh all right Pangaea wins.

Bananadine · #**205** July 4th, 2009, 10:38 PM

It was impressive that three nations disappeared at once.

OK I've digested my game administration experience. The result: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43513

Thanks for playing, fellow non-quitters, and please consider joining my new game!

(Well technically Gregstrom quit but that was an extreme case!)

Sorry about that - after the discussion about lessons learnt from the game, I assumed it was being wrapped up. As a result, I wasn't too worried about getting turns done. My bad.

Bananadine · #**208** July 6th, 2009, 08:11 AM

It effectively was being wrapped up--all that was left was my and BesucherXia's insane willingness to continue playing in spite of Pangaea's just-about-inevitable future victory. We had a few cool battles after that point, but it was still kinda silly to go on. If I'd been especially concerned about your surrender I would have hassled you about it!

Sorry guys, I donnot think I have more time for this new game. Right now I am running my war against the degree paper, and even sleeping is quite precious now...

Technically speaking, the "surrender" of Fom had not affected the siege of Hinnom much. I had planned round 2 armies with comparable strength against two major nations, plus 3 minor armies against the 3 AIs. After the lose of Fom that army just laid idle - they would need at least 10 turns to reach the new front, enough long to organize a new one.

Last two battles were quite impressive, I lost quite a group of units too. But to be honest, even under that lost my total number of freespawns was still increasing. - Pan can be reciuited everywhere, and with the GE I had over 40k incomes for them... I once planned to make another blow using 600 freespawns+Glowing Fury+Life after Death, just to clear room for some incoming "true army" or buy time for another dominion kill(thats why no big mages had joined the attack). Didn't expect the Hinnom's lost on that turn either.
