I fear that I won't be able to play between friday 15h GMT and sunday 18h GMT. Is it possible to wait for me?

About the dispel, I have the mage but I don't have the research and the gems.

My army also had some Clockwork Horrors, but they didn't last very long =). (Not like they were supposed to, anyway, but they seemed like an OK buy at the time because they were immune to fire...not immune to arrows, as it turns out...)

You retreated your pretender, too, she was there to put the stomp on my poor scout last turn.

Also, I appreciate the name, "Great Northern War" sounds so much cooler than Ulm-Marignon war. Besides, Caelum's still around, and probably very glad those 400 or so Marignon troops are out of his territory.

I have the research and mage for the dispel, but Astral Pearls are in short supply. The old Shinuyama player claimed no one would be able to dispel it, so I'm going to assume he put it down with a lot of extra gems or used a very high path mage.

Oh, hah, so you did. They're probably good against regular arrows; not so much against crossbows, though.

Her chest wound means SCing it up would be asking for trouble, and her A2 magic means that in return for risking her life in combat I get a few castings of Lightning Bolt. Not a very effective tradeoff. You might see her again when I get Arrow Fend and Wind Guide, though.

It'll be interesting to see what Caelum does. If he attacks me, I'm doomed. If he attacks you, you are probably in trouble. If he doesn't attack either of us, he will end up encircled by whichever of us was the victor.

I have the research, the mage, and could probably scrounge up enough pearls to dispel. But why, when it's hurting my enemy as much as it's hurting me? Besides, Marignon has better things to spend astral pearls on.

I expected she was there for Wind Guide, but she didn't have any gems.

No, I think Marignon really should spend all of its Astral Pearls to dispel this pernicious scourge of Primea. That they have refused to do so has left the nations of Ulm, who are naturally concerned about the well-being of all other peoples, that in order to dispel the Wrath of God the astral pearl supply of Marignon must be acquired, by force if neccessary.

Despite protests of "No Blood for Astral Pearls", and claims that we are merely stirring up trouble with Marignon to distract from our failure to find WMD in Vanheim, Ulm feels it has no other option. Plus, we're envious of the fancy clothes that give Marignon soldiers +1 morale.

Solian Round 2, not quite as impressive in terms of sheer numbers of troops (200 or so per side instead of 400). Still pretty impressive, though.

What's funny is, in both battles, hardly any melee happened; its just exchanging mage and archer fire. Strength of Giants hardly seems worth it, when that COULD'VE been another Blade Wind/Magma Eruption. (Legions of Steel, though, still worth it).

This battle was fatally misplanned on my part. For future reference, don't put your unarmoured mages directly in front of a mob of lightly armoured troops when blade winds are being thrown about.

Even the archer fire was relatively irrelevant compared to the sheer hurt being passed about with those evocations.

Yup, you were well-positioned to counter every one of my tricks, and I could only counter one of your tricks (mammoths), so I had to rely on raw economic power and attrition. Which was working, until Vanheim fell too quickly and ruined everything!

By the way, I'm surprised you never tried raiding my territory. If you had gone hopping about with a handful of fliers through my minimally defended farmland, I would have had a tough time dealing with that.

Caelum is a lot of fun. What was wrong with the pretender, though?

*Gasp* The tide of war seems to turn when those two false gods are entering my realm!

And Pangea... Is it right to send naked women into battle?

Can you remind me again during that time or shortly before so that I reset the timer?
