Good game Carlosib! I enjoyed our battles, though I tended to be on the losing side of the equation more often than not.

I'll probably be following you out of the game next turn via dominion death, unless something strange happens.

To be honest i was looking forward to a huge 1000+ troop battle between our armies, but you did great in remotely killing most of my troops using ritual spells. If it wasnt for that i'm confident i would have done much better. My mages were scripted to cast will of the fates, fog warriors, quickening, doom, storm, lots of shadow blasts, paralize, soul slays, etc...that until they died in the camp frozen, burnt or pierced by seeking arrows
Anyway, i think this game is yours if you manage to survive Abysias huge dominion push.

Good game carlosib! You handed my army its rear on a plate repeatedly. I was not successful in remotely killing your mages.

I was also looking forward to you and Potatoman having huge battles, but it didnt quite work out that way for me

Anyhow, great playing and look forward to seeing you around.

Wow. New turn. Good games to Man and Shinuyama. Shinuyama - you played an excellent game, really much better than I did. Man.... I rarely saw you, we started so far away, but I had fun diplomacy-ing with you.

Gotta say... wow... blood sacrifices are.... effective.

Good game to everyone!

I was looking forward to the free for all at the end of the game, but it was not to be. The dominion push was incredibly potent! Despite my military and magical supremacy, and my 20+ priests preaching with my pretender in my home province, my entire empire was wiped out from full strength in only 3 turns.

The war against Ermor was the highlight of the game for me. After the first bloody battles, I realized that I just couldn't match Ermor's battle magic and decided that I had to rely on supercombatants and ritual bombardments to win against his deadly Thaumaturgs. Fortunately he was occupied with Abysia while I hid behind a wall of earthquake traps and researched up to Flames from the Sky, which proved just as effective as I had hoped it would be. But had Ermor really pressed me at the time, he probably would have been able to hurt me badly before I teched up to the spell.

Anyone out there know how to defend against a blood sacrifice push? It seemed unstoppable, on the level of a moon-sized asteroid plowing through a tissue factory.

wow thats increddible, I didn't even think it was possible for us to do this...

Well thanks for a great game potatoman, sorry I had to turn on you like this

[Janlm]

err, its only you and me left Zylithan
