Sounded like a "Waaa, too bad!" to me. Huzurbaby doesn't seem to care if his quitting and picking up his toys and going home hurts the game. Maybe he should start a club with Cohen, have a Quitters Secret Treehouse.

You seem to feel that the game is "all about SC's", and you are talking about Vanheim? How are you playing Vanheim? They have very nice sneaking armies capability which can tear up the SC tactic. I would consider Vanheim to be the fix for SC's far more than having to rely on them.

Pythium on the other hand, I can see having a problem in a game with many SuperCombatants

What does that mean?
It means dont be a putz and quit the multiplayer game before all of your candles are snuffed.

I have a hard time feeling very sorry for people having trouble casting constant spells via communion. Especially if they are Pythium using communicants AND Shamen casting relief (even a few times)!

Many nations don't have the option to use communion at all.

Seems like a generally positive thing when there is difficulty doing super-powerful things without restriction or risk.

Of course, it's always a bit frustrating when one's master plan of evil doesn't work as hoped. On the other hand, it was probably pretty frustrating too for your opponent during all the communion-boosted castings that did work...

Hey, Galaxy Quest was awesome. Naturally, the person who insisted I see it was preemptively punished in case it sucked.

Of course it is. But despite seeing it twice in the theatre, and many more times on my DVD, I don't go around using Tim Allen's signature line -- at least not without giving credit where credit is due.
