4-player ME game - Started!

I actually had a scout there...

My assesion of the situation when I saw the armies arrayed at the start was that he stood a rather decent chance to beat you (unless you pulled some nasty magical trick), partly, as you said, because of the darkness, but also because of those tough prot 22, unbreakable statues (and somewhat less tough, but equally unbreakable claymen) that would have you standing in the gateway forever, while the castle arrows and spells rained down upon you.

(note, btw, that those statues didn't have darkvision either - they should have imho, but anyways - so between your troups and them darkness didn't matter much. The couple of men Agartha had did benefit form it though, and probably lasted a bit longer and killed a bit more because of it.)

Haha that was an AWESOME last stand! I was trying to to summon as many troops as possible. That damned spell that steals sacreds was horrid tho, really hurt my numberes in all the battles. I was hoping that it would at least kill one army, thats the best I could hope for this late in the game. It was good learning for the future, I've never had such a good battle for a fort as agartha. I think the reason is most random maps do not have Mountain provences, which are the requirement for cave forts.

I thought Agartha automatically got a Cave fort...

cave fortress for the main provence, but to build them you need mountains. which builds only cave forts

Guys, if any of you happen to see this before you get the new turn file - any chance you could send me the last one? My girlfriend wants to see it and I forgot to save it.

About christmas - what I suggest we do is imagine there's a maelstrom coming. At some point soon, all units will be unable to receive orders for a month. If you have a turn and you know you won't be able to have another one for 24 hours, send a message to the other players saying we should all miss the turn. Then if we start a turn and get that message, just don't do anything.

I should easily be able to play over christmas, except for christmas day itself, when I imagine I will get glared at if I slope off to do a turn.

Well I am almost dead but yes, If we need to take a turn off just let me know.

Well, a bit too late to send you an ingame message anymore, as I won't be able to play the current turn ;-)

I'm spending christmas at my parents, and will be back home late tomorrow night (Belgian time) wich means, within 24 hours.

Merry Christmas to all
