Neo was more my fault than anything because I was trying something weird with a rainbow mage, and that was before I had my epiphany about site searching which is basically that if you're doing a rainbow mage if you want to find sites of a particular type you only need 3 paths in it to find 95% of those sites.
I would be in an infinitely better position had a built my mage in that game differently and made her dormant instead of imprisoned. But you live and learn, now I only build dormant rainbow mages and never imprisoned. That still doesn't excuse the awful swath of mountains and forests that I was hedged into, just an unfortunate part of the game's random placement.
Also, Jomon's calvary is *awful*. Like appallingly awful. I can't even begin to explain to you how frustrating it is to take Jomon and attempt to fight Sylvania. Jomon's ranks are filled with low morale troops. Not a single person has a shield. So the only thing you can really do is recruit priests, mix in the demons who have high morale with the awful morale calvary, and then spam sermon of courage. I failed to do the third part of that, but I didn't realize how bad the morale problem would be. The fact that Sylvania is an archer nation is bad enough for Jomon, but that they have high protection, high defense, high morale, high magic resistance shock troops with *fear* against morale 9 calvary? It's like a kick in the balls each time that your calvary is literally chewing into the archers, and then routs.
I don't think I complain a lot, I got gang-banged by 4 nations in Perpetuality and tried my best to survive despite it all without complaining almost at all, though I did put up a lot of in character posts. I'm also in about 8 games right now and even though Hako broke an NAP against me twice in Starfall, while at the same time Emor decided to attack, I soldiered it up and just recently broke the back of Abysia's main army.
These two games in particular have been very frustrating (especially since I really like playing with the new races and consider this a unique opportunity), but I haven't given up, I just needed to vent a little. I still think I have game against the attacking nations. I mean, I didn't spend all that research on nothing
My 1st goal right now is to take Hawii out of the running, and to defend myself 2nd.
