[The Panther]

Machaka has a 350 defense hill fort and the seiging of the Machaka capitol is going rather slow, to say the least.

By the way, when is your team going to help us kill the C'tis/Ermor team? We have captured the C'tis capitol and surely you could help us eliminate the remaining lizard provinces, right? The C'tis Lich is no longer immortal, so feel free to kill her for good.

Also, I am not sure how much longer I can last against the endless undead hordes. I have killed about 800 undead troops (more than half of those were horsemen) and still they come. I sure hope they fix this little problem of unlimited free undead troops in Dominions 3, for I never want to start next to Ermor again. The only way to prevent Ermor from going nonlinear with troops is to gang up on them early. This being the very first time I have ever fought against Ermor in MP,I have discovered why it is so beneficial to put together an anti-Ermor coalition on the first couple of turns before the free troops start rolling off the assembly lines.

I know of 2 MP games where the Ermor player won the game when it was his very first MP game, so it probably is not balanced as a nation, especially against newbies. It also looks like Ermor is going to win the First Step game too, which would be the third time a rookie won playing Ermor. I recall back to the old days when Norfleet was unbeatable as Ermor, though he did likely cheat in lots of those games.

With the remarkable recovery of TC, it does not look quite so clear anymore that the Arco/Pan team has it wrapped up. Unfortunately, there is little hope of elimination Ermor anymore, even if everybody ganged up on them. The free troops are rolling off too fast now, so our team can't win at this point even if we eliminate C'tis.

I sure wish I knew how to effectively fight Ermor, but, unfortunately, I do not. I am learning as I go, which is clearly not a good plan. I even have a great anti-Ermor nation in Marignon, but it is still not enough. All those early stales did not help either...

That's e'nuff whining Panther!!! Fight to the death!
