Default Re: Pythium

Pythium's only mages with death magic is its pretender, and 1 lamia queen. pythium's highest d mage of the 2 he has, is a level 3 d mage. Unlike Ctis, Pythium has no gor tartarians, or immortal demilichs.

Pythium highest s mage is 4s, and cannot even sniff wishing. Plus, pythium in an earlier handshake deal promised not to wish your chalice away, and pythium does not break his word or forget his promises.

Pythium tried unsuccessfully to trade ryleh for a 5s starspawn-in case Pythium ever did want to wish for something. Ryleh said he did not have any for trade. So Pythium's highest s mage remains 4s, and only a fool would empower a mage with extreme old age from 4 to 6. And i certainly have not.

While Pythium does have a large gem income, a huge chunk of that is from gale gate, and no one ever won a big mp game on the back of air gems. In crunch time, the game will be decided by s and d gems. And my d gem income is meager despite the sickle. There are not many barbarian provinces in the South, which is why i had to snag one in agartha's area(with his permission). btw, he did not snag 30, but 23.

So on most every turn, the sickle is idle. But if anyone in the world needs barbarians cleared from a province, send me a message. I am your man!

Besides I was trying to crown you champion VFB, you should accept your crown. you are much too modest.

Pythium is also the only race to promise not to cast arcane nexus, bot, utterdark, and astral corruption. The big fear of s gems is arcane nexus, and i have removed that weapon from my arsenal.

Besides who could siege those castles in that disease dominion?

Also tartarians have a wide variety of magic, and many of them have 3 air. So you do in fact have mages that can cast fog warriors, or any other combat spell your heart desires.

Well then, it is time for the world to see which of Pythium and C'tis is stronger then.

We must compete, to see who shall have the privilege of sitting at the right hand of Invincible Agartha's table, and who shall be seated on the left.

I doubt it will be much of a competition.

So there is going to be a game deciding war between Pythium and Ctis?

I know that the nation of the Bakemono are not as strong as the above nations and will admit to the winner of this war being the true leader of the world.

However, the invincible Agartha will always be the power behind the throne.

That was hilarious Holyfrog. I mean, probably more hilarious for me. But still, very funny. Cold immune Unfrozen freezing to death.

That said, if you want to continue our little war, we shall then. It's not of much importance in the greater scheme of things.

Pythium is not fighting any war with Ctis, as it would be futile. We do not share a border with Ctis, and have no troops that can withstand his dominion.

But if Ctis is bored and attacks us, we will try to defend our borders, and ask our friends for aid.

Pythium is fighting a war with C'tis as of six posts ago.

It is not futile for Pythium to delay war, it is wise. With your superior gem income, you grow stronger as time goes on, and you are able to bring your research on par with that of the lizards.

But C'tis is now wise to your ways, and we have seen how you beguiled your neighbors into taking the heaviest losses against Vanheim, while you end up with their capitol and huge tracts of land.

Ermor and Caelum have ended their mutual conflict.

Though they can offer nothing that will aid Pythium in a fight against gor tartarians, they can at least focus on research and build up their forces in case they suddenly share a border with Ctis.

Caelum and Ermor are wise. Though one race was winning that war, he realized what use is gaining some provinces, when you may be facing tartarians soon? Owning provinces you cannot defend is pointless.

Pythium is doomed-we know that. But we urge all other nations that are at war to end their petty wars. Gaining 10 or even 20 provinces will not matter. What matters is focusing your efforts on researching spells that can aid you when it is your turn to face tartarians. And you need to focus efforts on getting your own tartarians.

Pythium will go down fighting, and hopefully our death may buy the rest of the world the time it needs to catch up in research.

Do not waste your gems on any nation not named Ctis. For unless he can be beaten, all of your efforts are for naught.
Further weakening yourselves through war just aids his cause.

Pangaea, jotunheim, and shinuyama-you need each other. And you need each other to be strong. Each brings something unique to the table. You need peace, and you need a mutual defense pact against Ctis, so when he turns his eyes back to the North, you can stand united against him.

Whatever effort can be made, the chalice must be wished away from ctis. Even if it is a world effort. Though he likely has a vast stockpile of tartarians. Pythium sees 3 demilich plus his pretender right now-though my spies die of disease and my network is incomplete. That is at least 4 mages capable of summoning a tartarian every turn.

It is not our intent to engage our enemy with words in public discourse. The graphs speak louder than any words. And next turn when you see pythium's income and provinces plummet, the proof will be in the pudding so to speak. And Pythium will provide pictures of what you face, and a full accounting of what war with ctis entails on a turn by turn basis so you can prepare the better.

Any nation wanting more detailed information can contact me privately.
