Silent Seas AAR

Turn 34
I swear the death match was rigged! Somehow I got put in fighting Caelum first thing. I summoned my earth elemental, he summoned an air elemental. So far so good.



I blessed myself in preparation for the attack, he summoned another air elemental. Things still might have been alright had Carusara gone all the way to the rear before cutting across to attack, but instead he decided he would attack the air elementals. While he was on his way the Caelian summoned a third air elemental, and at that point Carusara's fate was well and truly sealed.



Here is the culprit - one of Caelums dirty Eagle Kings. Now I'm really mad.



After this T'ien Ch'i entered the arena against Caelum. I guess the Caelian (may his name never be uttered until he is dead) had used all his good gems on killing Carusara, so all he had left was small water elementals to buffet the noble that T'ien Ch'i sent in to the arena.



The noble managed to take out the elementals, and had a long duel with the Caelian, throwing magical attacks against each other, until in the end the noble from T'ien Ch'i lost his nerve and retreated from the field, which of course is a win for Caelum.

Vanheim did not send a representative.


I will be presenting the judges with an official complaint - I'm sure that they were bribed to allow the Caelian to attack me first, rather than after his strength was depleted!


Back home in Kailasa, Asamati took the last independant province around these parts, and now is heading home. I need to decide if it's going to be T'ien Ch'i I attack or Vanheim...tough decision.

Ouch! Caelum may have lost on the field but they won in the arena. That Eagle King sure looks nasty.

I would recommend Tien Chi. Unless Vanehim is losing really badly to them you might be able to break Tien's power.

Yeah, how much of that is random picks? 7 magic plus 2 holy is pretty amazing.

Are arena matches worthwhile now? What is the prize? Does the AI still send its pretenders foolishly into battle?

Hopefully the AI wont send his pretenders to the Arena in Doms 3...or if it is sending them to fight there, this can be easily "fixed" in a Doms 3. patch, so that the AI wont use pretenders in the Arena.... I mean it looks like an easy programming job to ban the AI pretenders from the Arena battles.

I'm not sure how much of the eagle king's magic is random picks... but this is early era (which is magic-heavy) and he is one of the elite, so that's why his magic is so high.
