Dead nation
I'm setting Tir na n'Og AI this turn. I tried to break out of my crap starting position by attacking Formoria while he attacked Ermor's capital. I figured I might get lucky and they would bloody each other enough (or I could get *really* lucky and Ermor would win, I was 100% certain my thunderstriking mamas could beat Ermor). But I couldn't thunderstrike enough to take down the blessed giants. A super-crowded space like mine was no place to be without a big bless, and I don't see Tir as playing well with a bless strategy.
On top of the crowding, I had all kinds of bad luck. Some (barbarian attacks, armies of trolls, burned lab) due to my Order 3 Misfortune 2 build. Others, though, were just plain bad luck. Like the horde of cataphracts in a province adjacent to my capital. Or the lizardman shaman with a soul contract 2 steps away. (By the time I dealt with him, he had 17 devils. I only got him by using a Bean Sidhe as a lightning-bolt throwing assassin).
Good luck to y'all, and a huge thanks to djo for hosting the game.
