Oh ok I see. I sent 30 gems to Maverni.

BTW- nice job whoever is playing Ryleh, turn 43 is very quick to put up the Nexus.

Tyrant, don't you think we should try a small dispel first (like maybe 40-50 gems total)? If that fails, we could save up for a larger one. I'd be happy to donate 10 gems for the small dispel. I don't think we should put, say 100 gems into the dispel -- that could end up being a waste of gems. I don't mind wasting 50 gems, that is small potatoes. If that fails we should save up maybe 300-400 gems collectively and cast it again.

If the nexus stays up, he will recast with what he gets from it. That's what I would. Tyrant, I feel I am not pulling my share with what I send. I will send so many again in next turn, as appreciation. I just have bad astral gem income despite being Arco.

I have sent 35 astral gems to Maverni. It's in your hands, Tyrant, but I think it's best to wait until we've got at least 150 astral saved up if you are trying for a big dispel right away. The worst thing that can happen is if we try for a big dispel and fail.

Pangea broke our NAP. Hopefully the dispel this turn will work or Ry'leh is in for a big payday...

Well, y'all sent so many gems that i seriously considered trying it with less and giving rebates, but i used the full 135 (+20 bonus = 155!) and we failed anyway.

I'm boggled, but there it is. on the plus side that means we have a few more turns till he turns a profit (ahem).

Well, that means he has the minimum (or close to it) in his Stellar Focus. Let's dispel that one, at least. 40-50 gems should do it. Better yet, someone should over-cast it.

Everyone besides the person over-casting Stellar Focus, start saving your astral gems until we get 300.

In addition (just to be safe), the anti-Ryleh offensive should begin immediately. I can send some mechanical men down there. It won't be a whole lot of guys, but I can open up another front on him.

Ulm, are you adjacent to him at all? I feel a little guilty for cancelling our NAP at a time like this, but I have land forces that have nothing to do--they'd be useless against Ryleh anyway. My centaurs are thirsty for blood, I can't control them!
