Hmm, it would have been helpful for the e-mail to have said something about this. I'll go and delete my saved games and then try again. Hopefully I haven't already fouled everything up.

Edit: Looks like I was in time to fix things. Now if only I could have my starting position from the Last game back...

I just noticed that we restarted. I didn't delete my save file.

It just staled my first turn annoying, but no big deal. Let's keep playing.

Machaka is going AI.

Funny story really, I started on the very edge of the non wraparound map. First time that's ever happened to me.

The lack of circular connectivity made for some very poor expansion, but I was having a good time.

I got hit with a random event that destroyed my main army utterly (despite Luck 3 etc.)

Enormous earthquake... critters out of ... trog event, no biggie.

except this time there were 40+ trogs!!! on turn 11!.

Hilarious. Goodbye Yasini et alia.

That wasn't the part that annoyed me.

I got annoyed when I looked at the prov, and I noticed it wasn't independent. It was abysian.

It appears the VQ SC one hex over had *no problem* dealing with the hypertrophic trog horde.

When an exploit beats a highly improbable glitch, it's time to go.

Let me get this straight: A VQ, who was NOT IN THE PROVINCE, managed to kill all of the 40 trogs (not all that impressive, given that tramplers are highly ineffective against ethereals of any kind)?

trogs killed me... VQ killed trogs, same turn. event/magic battles go first.

Well, then, that's not a problem.

Trogs are not really that powerful of a unit....and their primary attack is trampling, exactly the sort of thing which is all but worthless on a high-defense, ethereal unit of any kind. I am not in any way surprised that the Trogs lost to a VQ. A handful of ghosts could have done that, too. Trogs are a mismatch against an ethereal unit.

There is one thing that trampling is always good for though, which is that it gets rid of mirror images instantly.
