Well you have been slightly unlucky Baalz, 17-21 MR is simply not high enough, you still have a 30% - 40% chance of dieing, approx.

Thats why sometimes lead shield, rainbow armour and armour of souls are good too.

Of course, it sucks big time when you play a nation with little or no astral magic.

I feel for you Baalz even though I must admit I am the guilty party with respect to your mind hunts. And you are correct, the mind hunts are pen. 5.

In Alpaca i was facing Gameextremist who was playing Arcos, while I was playing Pangaea(high mr mages)and I was simply amazed as to how high your mr needs to be to resist mind hunts. Typically above 25 is almost mind hunt proof. 23-25 is pretty safe.

Below 23 and it is open season. I have 2-3 threads that fell on deaf ears on the forums saying cost for mind hunt should be raised above the paltry 2 s gems it costs.

And the sad thing with arcos, is the risk of feeble mind is completely negated if you have 3 priestesses set to healing in the province from which you are mind hunting.

I finally took his capital and that ended the mind hunts. Short of that, you are screwed.

I would caution any race that taking "free provinces" from an enemy when i have done the bulk of the work is viewed by me with great displeasure.

If you are not presently at war with Eriu(I thought everyone was), than take Eriu provinces at your own risk.

Lastly, I want to do a public salute to Baalz. He came up with a tremendous strategy for playing what I wrongly thought was a race with no hope. And it is completely viable in a vanilla game with no mods.

Had Baalz not be ganged by 5 races, he certainly could have won this game. Which is why I suspect he started a new game with score graphs off!

Say... aren't you Arcos?

We're screwed!

Hardly, i am not in the top 3 of any score graphs(: Never could overcome my slow start. So I am basically helping the newer players in my area.

If I really was going to win I would have taken Tien Chi's capital when Baalz had it under siege and i had an army next to it. Instead i freed his provinces for him.

Arcos will be a king maker this game, not the King.

Flagellant Bob: I just heard some horrible news. I have heard some bad things about the monkey king, but I didn�t think even he would resort to that.

Missionary Dave: You are referring to what happened to poor Taurvati? (may he fill us with power.)

Flagellant Bob: But Taurvati is so gentle, and has done so many good things. He only rose to become the new god so he could save the world from wickedness. Is what the monkey king did really true?

Missionary Dave: I am afraid so. Last month Taurvati learned he had a number of followers in one of Bandar Logs provinces. He traveled there to teach these people, and give them wisdom. But the mischievous monkey king showed up. Taurvati tried to reach out to him, but instead the monkey king poked him in the eye. Tauvrati, as powerfull as he is, could have easily defeated this monkey, but instead Taurvati flew away so he could think of some other way to reach out to this wicked creature.

Flagellant Bob: But now Taurvati is going to have to spend the rest of his existence with only one eye! I will poke the monkey king in the eye and see how he likes it.

Missionary Dave: Remember Flagellant Bob, Taurvauti teaches forgiveness and to only use violence when necessary. The Grand Masters forgot about that and got greedy with there power and what happened?

Flagellant Bob: heretic monkeys arrived and slew them.

Missionary Dave: But Marignon had many virtuous followers such as yourself and what happened?

Flagellant Bob: Creatures out of the sea rose up, and destroyed the heretic statue makers, and powerful angels arrived and helped us drive the heretic monkeys out.

Missionary Dave: See! When you are virtuous things go your way. And now the heretic monkeys are on the run ,and we have freed a number of provinces from the monkey kings influence. Which means we can now start teaching the monkeys the joy and wisdom of Taurvati.

Flagellant Bob : Hurrah!!! We get to save the monkeys!

Missionary Dave: Now you should really find the Tithe Collector. He has some things he needs you to do.

Flagellant Bob: The Tithe Collector scares me, but I will find him. (He starts wandering off chanting �Stop the monkey king! Save the monkeys! � )

Agartha, led by the indomitable Dr.P, has been defeated on turn 45.

Dr. P had the misfortune to get caught in a 3 way war with none of 3, Atlantis, Marignon, or Pythium on his side.

Thank you for playing Dr. P, and any comments on the Agartha Hero will be appreciated.

General Tartasis reporting to Bones: Our never defeated army was destroyed my lord. The Tuatha mages cast fog warriors, then the great mother cast earthquakes, while their other mages peppered our troops with orb lighting, petrify, and frozen heart.

Bones: Baalz has feigned weakness it seems. Eriu is far from dead. We will have to pull the remnants of our army back to our lands and regroup. A sound defeat.

Our fears that Atlantis has been aiding Eriu with gems is also confirmed. And more than that it seems they are acting in concert. The foolish undersea dweller does not realize that destroying Eriu, if we are able to finish the task, is a public service.
