Game: Scorned Land (started)

[CUnknown]

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.

[CUnknown]

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.

[Tequilich]

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

[Tyrant]

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).

[CUnknown]

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!

[Tequilich]

I do not share borders with Ryleh and so care a bit less about the dispel. So I will no longer contribute towards the dispel. Now I must use my enormous stash of gems for our upcoming war. Which results in a landslide of gems for the aliens... Heck, I would even support the aliens against the centaurs .

[Burnsaber]

ACH! The sidpel failed? Then you all know what's ahead of us. To arms brothers! Join HATE (Humanoids Against Tentacled Entities), together we can take him. Let mushy deeps be filled with R'lyeh brethen.

Okay we need to make some serious offense. Start making and taking plans for how to get underwater. I'm also quite sure that we need to coordinate our efforts. Could member of HATE send me their e-mail? Group-sending e-mails to the other HATE members seem to be best method of communication. We can't use the forums because, R'lyeh reads them too.

And I'd really like to see Panganea and Ulm make truce. If we want to kill R'lyeh before he finds really good uses to his gems, we are going to need everybody's help. I can forge water-breathing items for all parties. I need Charcoal Shields and Firebrands.

[Burnsaber]

I'm sure that there are more experienced players here than me. I haven't never even assaulted underwater with a pure land-mongrel nation! Those of you who have done it, speak out! How do you deal with poor amphibians being nearly useless undewater, because even with Water-breathing items your national troops are useless underwater. What combat spells even work underwater? Damn, I need to do some research. Althought I read that Shark Attack is good.

What about summons? I have access to Naiad Warriors, are they any good?
