Does he actually have anything that makes him any better vs. gods than vs. anything else?

Not really. But he's quite good at killing powerful targets, and surviving several rounds against powerful melee combatants, and can survive up to to insta-dead spells (thanks to his three forms).

Is one of his forms invisible? B/c after I gave him a good wack, he dissapeared, yot my lich kept casting spells at empty space and hitting him.

The first two of his forms are Ethereal, i.e. nonmagical attacks have only 25% chance of working. His last form is Truly Ethereal, which means even magical attacks have only a 25% chance of working. So he isn't exactly invisible, more like invincible...

Sorry Endo, but it's only the first form that's ethereal and the last two forms that are truly ethereal.

Thanks for the correction.

Oh, well. I can't expect to remember everything correctly now that I've barely got enough time to play the game.

I know, I screw up on things myself every now and then. The invisible/invincible line was great.

If you have enough gems to wish eleven times, why not just monthly power wish? eventually, you will have seven thousand health, three hundred strength, att/def over four hundred, and will be able to smack the four horsemen back into their stables. Then, hit Umor over the head a few times with a sword of doom (I suggest mage bane). Problem solved.

lol my god destroyed the eater of gods. My god took only 22 damage out of his 437 health. Poor eater of gods was eaten by my god. lol

Its a really big sp game. been going for a while and I have not been nice to the AI.

I have been clam hording and I have arcane nexus up. I have to do something with all those gems. Why not wish for magic power 11 times?

really I just am playing for fun, obviously the AI cannot offer challenge at this point, so i am just playing around.

As an aside, how long does it take you to do a turn? I finally quit playing big maps because I ran out of patience when I had to take care of approx. 50 provinces a turn.

Surely you don't have to look after 50 provinces a turn. Most provinces just sit there looking after themselves, especially with the autotaxation turned on. Generally the only ones that require checking are ones with fortifications, where you build troops, ones where there's military action, and occasionally you might want to check them out if there's been some form of event. Maybe every once in a while you have to do a big whip-round with magic site scrying spells...

In SP I do turns quickly because I don't care about mistakes that much. MP turns take me rather longer, most of it is sorting out army commands.
