NGG,

I normally would agree with you if you were any nation other than Ermor but my understanding (correct me if I am wrong)is that Ermor grows exponentially stronger with its free summons as time goes on. I think the rule book even has a special section on dealing with Ermor.

I wish I had not started next to you.

That's LA Ermor. MA gets no free spawns. All MA can do is reanimate longdead, which is where you are seeing my military build up. As others have said, you are dragging us both down for no real good reason.

There are only a handful of uber-nations, an MA Ermor isn't one of them. That being said, if you want a fight, I won't be backing down.

We all fight sooner or later and I have no regrets about attacking you sooner given your ability to reanimate hordes of longdead.

If you want diplomacy then offer something up. I am all ears.

But if he wins he can only benefit from the war. More gold, more gem income, more mages to recruit, safe border... So use your diplomacy, there are other players on the map that may want to help you. Or him.

Actually, no. Look at the score chart, I have very few territories, mostly due to the war. He is even worse off, I believe. He would have benefited more by attacking the indy provinces. Anyhow, I am reasonably sure I can win the war, that isn't the issue. The issue is that while I am gaining 4-5 provinces from this senseless conflict, I am potentially losing many more indy provinces because the units that would be expanding into that area are busy fighting elsewhere. Also, research will suffer due to my GT's having to reanimate constantly instead of researching. Any way you slice it, this is a no win situation on a map this large. Whoever wins will just be next in line to be steamrolled by someone who didn't waste their initial turns bickering over 5 provinces.

Darn. I didn't realise that Llamaserver wouldn't take two 2h fies in one email.

Bananadine · #6 January 27th, 2008, 06:37 PM

Why would you send two 2h files? Are they for two different games?

Gregstrom · #7 January 27th, 2008, 07:16 PM

Yup - this one and KingOfTheIsle. My guess is it took the one for KotI because Bandar Log comes alphabetically before Pythium.

I can only blame myself - I left it late sending the turns in, so I hurried and sent both files in one mail, then didn't wait up to check for the response from Llamaserver.

It's cost me enough in lost opportunities to make sure I don't do it again, though.
