So airshield protects from seeking arrows.. To be honest, I didn't even notice the robe - turned out to be an expensive oversight.

How about slowing down hosting over the holiday weekends?

earcaraxe · #34 December 23rd, 2011, 04:57 PM

excellent idea, i was tinking the same. hosting postponed by 48 hrs, set to 48 hrs interval, and turned quickhost off.

i give up, lets declare ulm a winner, ok?

thanks for playing guys!

I don't have a strong opinion on this. Ulm obviously has a very solid position but is the lead that decisive? I can keep playing still but I won't object to conceding if everyone else considers the game decided.

I have almost no chance to contend for the win so I'm fine with ending it. Van may still have a chance but I've felt for a while that this game would likely be won by either Ulm or Aby. We can take out one of them but then Van and Eriu will have to face off against the other one and I don't think the chances of victory will be good.

I dont think i have much of a chance versus Ulm. Lets wait bgifu's and koral
's opinion on this.

great game however, many thanks to u!

valerius played great as usual (after a weak expansion) and vargr also gave me some interesting moments.

I'm beginning to think that eriu got overbuffed with that E pick on tuathas, i wonder what I could have done had i not researched life for a life in time.

Yes it was really fun, thanks everyone! I like these small games and the reduced micro.

My land expansion failed as well and while I got the seas, it was obvious I couldn't defend them all. They did buy me the extra forts and mages though.

Our hopes with Eriu were in a fast win over Abysia, but the defence was tough and so the war lingered. I also had several very bad turns in a row in the beginning of it, partly due to bad luck but obviously my own mistakes and Aby's good play as well.

It was fun to hunt the SCs, spent a lot of time scripting for them, only to find out the AI promptly ignore my orders (Leech, Life for life, petrify). I think I killed the two heliophagi in melee in the end

Must try Vanheim with a more conventional build the next time, I think the increased blood randoms do a lot for them.

Sure, we can end the game. I like these small games as well.

I like the feel of MA ulm though it could use some nerfing. At least the forge bonus in capitol should go.

I went blood 7 and vampire lords for blood and death access, it seems a bit overpriced for a blood hunter (I realized yesterday I could just have empowered a smith in blood, forge boosters and empower scouts for blood hunting) Getting b3 hunters with forge bonus and empowerment would be cheaper than vampire lords.

Vampire lords are kickass and should cost at least the 100 slaves, I just hope cbm brings some alternative non-immortals as blood hunter option.
