Priori - New MA Game (Draw)

Heh. Whoops. Looks like I need to do some fast backpedalling here.

thejeff is absolutely right; I had somehow managed to forget that I had attacked Vanheim first, it's true. I *did* offer him an NAP before that though, which was rejected out of hand (and rather rudely too! ; ) So it had been a choice of sit and wait for him to attack me, or take advantage of the shortcut he provided me into Agartha's lands...

And to C'tis: sorry if I offended you (and for that matter, Machaka) then. I didn't know you were in a war with Machaka! I was having mildly paranoid visions of Machaka, C'tis, and/or Ulm jumping on the badwagon to take me down--while Pangaea sat back and watched the carnage, rubbing his hands and cackling with glee. I still stand by my accusation to Pangaea of having ulterior motives for urging everyone to attack me!

As to what other options Man has...good question. The unavoidable fact is I am the best contender to win the game. I can't argue against that. (And isn't it ironic that I wish that weren't true right now? ; ) All I'm trying to do is warn you...watch your back. The graphs don't tell the whole story; I am a *long* way from being anywhere sure of winning the game!

Edit: Changed Sauromatia to Machaka.

Sauromatia? Do you mean Machaka?
At first I was thinking, great there's another major power I haven't even noticed yet. Then I remembered Sauromatia is Early Age.

And you always have to watch your back. But you have to act too. I doubt I'll be backstabbed while you're still a threat.
Someone is going to win. Barring a miracle, it's not going to be Man. But I'll do what I can, while I still can.

And really, no one is willing/able to trade me a Firebrand or two?
Where are the merchants? Ulm? Anyone?

We are willing, but we are unable.

I can make you a couple but I don't have any spare gems. Send me 3 fire and 3 earth per brand you want for next turn. Also it depends on how busy my mages are fighting off Ermor next turn...

/whistles innocently..

I would never think to say "Look over there and not at me!!"
Well ok in my last post I did mention overthrowing the Ermor horde and then me but..

I'll just say that I wish my army graph was composed of squintillions of undead cavalry instead of these damn maenids. Not much use even buffed!

While I'd rather have the cavalry too, with Fog Warriors and Army of Gold/Lead, pretty much anything becomes at least a really solid shield.

And the maenids aren't vulnerable to all the undead counters.

Most of which I don't have, being stuck with H1 priests and Nature/Air mages. The buffs are good, but damage output is low.
