Uh, I was perfectly happy sitting in a defensive position, waiting for my death, but then you started Blighting my home and forced me to attack so I can gain some income. ;p So I'd call it stoopid! I'm not doing this for vengeance, I'm doing this to sub for someone who was dying under your pressure and to slow you down. And I surely didn't expect your armies to just die like that.

RPing is ok, but lets not get carried away with the name-calling eh?

Hey now, I lost a single battle to helheim (because my initial probe stumbled on about 60 hellherdlings) before I lost contact with the game. I in no way quite because of the outcome of that battle. I just ran into unexpected Internet issues during my move.

In actuality I went looking for a fight with helheim, fully expecting to grind them to dust. Not only did pangaea have vastly superior numbers, they had researched a number of potent area effect spells (to eliminate the glamour), and the pretender was well suited to either operate as an sc or cast support spells.

That pangaea is now in fact beating up on helheim is far from shocking (unless of course pan's pretender was scragged during the turns that I stalled).

Well, by the time I got control of Pangaea he was inside the little walled thingie and all that was left was like 6 provinces. ;p Numerical advantage has never meant instavictory, which is why things looked very bad to be. But right now, they look oddly good.

And Velusion, I'm just joking around when I wuz "calling him names." It's nuffin serious. ;p But still, the blighting was a mistake, I wouldn't have started attacking if he hadn't started it cuz I had no idea what he was packing.

Well, its only fair for you to crush me. in this game, we are one for one; killing eachother and being killed .

and I too was surprised by my troops just dying. I was watching the battle and all of a sudden everyone just ran and died. They seemed to be doing so well! I even saw my commanders escape, but they were reported dead. A shame .

And I didn't take offense at the stupid comment. No worries. I don't consider any moves I have done in this game to be smart per se. I have no clue what I am doing with this nation and I am trying to conceptualize a plan to recover, but Helhiem is hollow. No infrastructure, no saftey nets! My god just showed up and I am wondering wth I was thinking when I made him!

Also, just curious, does blighting multiple times in one turn stack the effect, or is it at max, one blight effect? I cast it 3 times on the same place crossing my fingers .

Sounds like the battle replay bug strikes again. When this happens the battle replays have little to do with the official final results.

I think Helheim is challenging to play. The helherdlings are awesome, but counterable. And once you lose significant numbers of helherdlings it seams to be all down hill from there. I think with Helheim it is very important to utilize their stealth and glamour capabilities so as to pick your fights and keep your opponent off guard.

I believe the answer is yes, they stack.
