LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)

[melnorjr]

Hope you at least felt that siege, Quitti.

Took my fort with one guy left standing. And I kept almost all my mages. Ready for round two on my other one?

Since I am obviously going to lose, btw, Whichever one of you takes my last fort gets my remaining gems and gold.

[Quitti]

Well, I don't have more troops on your front, but I could get plenty in short time should I put gold into it. My upkeep was reduced around 30% by that fight! Only thing I miss is three galdermen I lost though. You're free to keep that last fort for yourself for the moment

And actually it was one vanjarl, one galderman and two skinshifters left after that fight

[melnorjr]

Is there anybody who is inclined to take over adminning once I'm taken out?(I hear that that is standard? I'm new to this)

gg Melnorj!
I would have attacked you this turn...just had to wait for Iron Blizzard. I was kinda looking forward to that final battle in your castle.I guess starvation and gold issues forced you to attack.

I feel a bit obliged now to take over admin from you
I could do it,even though it would probably not the best solution since this would be my first time doing it and i dont have the time to check the forums several times per day(i get my PM`s emailed though)

[Quitti]

Well, melnorjr put up a heck of a fight, but the breaking-out fight seemed a bit lackluster (I had a scout there watching). I don't mind Mardagg becoming the admin, just check the forums once a day or so some hours before the hosting

[melnorjr]

The battle there was so lackluster because I didn't have the troops for it. my mages routed on round 3, when they were about to open up with their spells. I had them in a reverse communion - which was probably not the right choice there.

Anyway, PMing you the password Mardagg.

You guys killed me about 4 turns too early by the way. I was just getting ready to get bunches of vampires up when you took my forts and stopped me from collecting more slaves - that was the reason for my odd pretender.

One thing I learned: trying to cause unrest with five-fold angels and Khlyst doesn't work on players.

[Quitti]

Spies do work, if you can mass them in sufficient quantities. I think fivefold angels were spies in addition to just being stealthy? Anyway, your huge research graph showed that you were aiming for something, and staying very quiet about it, didn't know what it was though..

But still, if you had waited for ulm to bump into your castle, you would've had much better chances since the gate is a very easily defendable choke point (as we saw with the fight in your cap ).

you did lose some starets and troops already to starvation+desertion before i think.At least 3 starets and 1 fivefold angel went missing.
Actually i was looking forward to lose some more melee troops there...to lower my upkeep.
I did lose a lot of respect for Khlyst btw...i think that the cause unrest tag is BIG laydown...i always knew in which province u had sneaky troops bc of that.That way i could easily use my freespawns and regular troops to hunt down your invaders and no spy can stand vs like 80 troops + PD patrolling.

Yeah,as soon as i saw your pretender magic paths,i was like: Someone wants to use vampires vs my ULM
Anyways,Thanks for some fun battles and for showing me how great Sharivar map is(never played it before).

Ok guys,i am the new admin then.
I will try to check this topic at least everytime before hosting.
But if its urgent its better to send me a PM in addition to posting here.

Probably one more round for his mages to cast spells,still not enough troops and huge morale issues because of starvation(-4 to morale IIRC) especially vs that many ranged attackers.
And i had something cooked up for the castle fight which didnt trigger now
