Faerun MA PBEM (Calmon/Ermor Wins)

[Amhazair]

I don't want to point fingers to anyone specifically, as I know there can be many good reasons for it. (well-prepared thug just died, fighting a loosing war, some nations were AI, others stalled, and some nations just put more importance on conjuration and/or construction research than others) But if you look at all contenders in the deathmatch I have to admit I'm somewhat disappointed at the number of "well-equiped thugs who might win" that participited.

Again, I don't want to point fingers, and if no one else minds, so be it, but I have to say this makes it very tempting to send a thug costing lots less gems in for the next one.

And also: "All hail Agartha, kings of the arena!"

support this

i did not make any "atleast 100 gold and 20 gems" rules cause i consider the participation in the deathmatch as a code of honour so could you next time send something worthy.

well i hope the next deathmatch will have more interesting chalengers, i have now better construction levels than 2 so mine might be able to win.

[Teraswaerto]

I had every intention of sending a Gift of Reasoned Thing That Should Not Be, full of ethereal void monstery goodness, but it was not ready due to rather obvious reasons. Only a few turns short but so it goes.

[Hadrian_II]

the next turn will be 48h again, but then i might switch back to 24h as nobody really wanted 48h. So plz protest now if you dont agree. (if nobody rejects it will be 24h from the next turn on).

btw. pangea seems to went inactive too

I apologize for the awfulness of my entry; I didn't realize just how bad Golems were until I saw the thing fight. I was expecting something better for that gem/research investment...

[Sandman]

Sorry for my cheapo entry as well. I just didn't have anything handy, apart from a skull talisman I got by random event.

[calmon]

@ajr
golems are good with items on it. You don't have to apologize, this thing was really expensive alone.

I've to apologize. I plunder my treasure room to build up a commander for fighting a neutral VP province. He lose badly and i lost my complete stuff. I didn't think about the arena thing the last 5-10 turns and forgot to rebuild items.

@hadrian
For the inactive players: Couldn't we find subs for them? Maybe the current players can mail you the passwords. Pangaea seems not the worst nation here and i don't know about machaka player but his nation is big and mighty too.

[Amhazair]

Machaka played this last turn. (He attacked two Shinuyama provinces I happened to be taking at the same time. One of those two armies was led by his pretender, who is now contemplating the fate of his people from the afterlife ) I have no contact with him, so I have no idea if he'll start playing regularly again now or not.

We have in the moment 4 inactives:

-Abysia: will die the next round, if my armies not fail miserabely

-Mictlan: announced to be beaten and just to hang around a bit

-Atlantis: dont know too much about it as it seems to be on the other side of the map, but might be a candidate for a substitute (is atlantis big or not?)

-Pangea: big enough empire, but at war in the moment

I think i will ask Atlantis & Pangea if they are interested in getting a substitute for themselves.

[Amhazair]

Atlantis is small. My underwater intelligence is limited, but I guess they only have around 10'ish provinces.
