Invisible Swarm III: over

[PashaDawg]

So, Jeffr:

Why are there suddenly white centaurs within the lovely dominion of His Luminescence, Pasha-Du, the Wise and Noble Shedu of Arco?

Sorry about that, just passing thru I'll be moving on. My other route was blocked by a humongous blood army.

I took my turn, but the server is down.

Well, I was able to repel Ulm's first invasion, although the Earth Attacks were a pain.

Boron's SC Moloch was another matter and reminded me that we are not using Zen's item mod, so the Blood Thorn is still extremely powerful. His fire 9, water 9 Moloch basically destroyed my army all by himself. I couldn't dent him and he looks unstoppable by my current forces, which were tailored for army vs army battles. I'm not optimistic.

Server is back up.

Hey Folks:

I am going on a short trip: Late Saturday afternoon - late Monday afternoon. (It's Independence Day weekend here in the USA.)

Any chace we could slow up the quickhost a wee little bit just to make sure I (and others who might be traveling this weekend) don't stale?

Thanks.

Pasha

Boron, you show me how you fight Chris and Aku to a stand-still and clam efficiently at the same time, and I'll show you a winner! 100 clams... sheesh, talk about ridiculous.

jeffr: Looks like Ratte wasn't unstoppable at all! Dude, that was a sublime way of taking him down: I never would have thought of using poison, of all things! Just plain awesome!

I will slow it to 72 hour host.

Jurri, do you have eyes everywhere?

I got him, but I still suffered heavy losses and had to retreat from the field, leaving my WatchTower besieged by a bunch of savage Jaguars. And Boron can just raise him again with little effort using his mass of priests. But it is better without Ratte-face around for a turn or two at least

Does anyone know off-hand if clams and the other gem hoarding items were increased in cost or paths in Zen's item mod? I heard he got rid of the Blood Thorn as a useful weapon and made the Wraith Sword a situational weapon in an attempt to encourage the use of a variety of weapons. Variety is good.

I know I tried a little variety by summoning some Horned Serpents in the early game. Didn't work particularly well, but maybe I didn't use them in the right situation. I think CUnknown has some Iron Pigs with him. I'll have to look those up.
