VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[Karlem]

Zenzei, It was your clear movement, you needed to get that fort back but I didn't know your plan so keeping Magoth there was a too high risk. It turned well... for you . Fantastic battle btw, incredible use of stellar cascades and communions.

[Aezeal]

ok this gotta stop " Fantastic battle btw, incredible use of stellar cascades and communions. "

that will not do.. MORE explanation.. this is a newb game and I need to learn here

who fought what and how where communions and cascafes used?

[Karlem]

Make a SP game, take 10 S1 guys, put them on a reverse comunion, spam stellar cascades, see effect .

First time I see them, incredible effect.

Add a B1 guy to remove fatigue on turn 5.

Combo!!!

Ask Zenzei for more details

[Zenzei]

I suppose sharing the details about the communion I used harms nobody, so here it goes(a slightly improved version):

Slaves x14 (all S1 mages): Communion Slave, Twist Fate, Stellar Cascades x3, Spells
Master #1 (S1E1): Communion Master, Summon Earthpower, Personal Luck, Gifts From the Heavens x2, Spells
Master #2 (S1): Communion Master, Light of the North Star, Enslave Mind x3, Spells
Master #3 (S2B1): Communion Master, Power of the Spheres, Reinvigoration, Life for a Life(if expecting to fight SC), Reinvigoration, Spells
Sit back and enjoy the show.

Remember to add in a bit of chaff to slow down the enemy for a turn or two so you get the communion online. I had my pretender there to play the slow down part because I was really short on troops.

There you have it in its full glory.
The really nice thing in this particular communion was that I got some real firepower out of those otherwise useless S1 mages who normally just sit in the lab doing research.

[Aezeal]

stellar cascades isn't that good is it? fatigue damage?

[Rathar]

Fatigue is really deadly. I forget the exact points where you lose xyz ability but essentially you lose your ability to defend against attacks. 50 or so fatigue and you are likely dead.

Many times I have used swarms of chaff to wear down high defense/protection units. Those reinvigoration items are very handy as I have recently learned.

[Ghill]

Wow, I accidentally sent in my OLD 2h file and staled my great attack!

Question: Reverse communion, how is that different from a normal communion? Shouldn't all that fatigue from all those spells wear down your casters (because it is shared)?

[James243]

Ok guys, I used to play a lot of Warcraft 3 and once the game was beyond doubt it was customary to simply say 'gg' and resign. (I got a lot of practice at that...)

In this game I've been hanging around because it's multiplayer and I even though my own fate is beyond doubt, I may play some small role, and I wouldn't want my resignation to affect the outcome.

However, I think we're at the point where that won't happen. I'll certainly stick around if people would prefer, but does anyone mind if I become AI controlled? Aezeal will take my last fort in 2 turns and then I'll just consist of a bunch of 2 resource sea provinces are aren't even worth him taking.

This game has been an awful lot of fun! Like I say, I want to do the right thing, and I can continue just taking my turns but I'd much rather start turning my attention towards the new games that are starting up.

PS: Karlem - thanks so much for the tips - exactly what I needed!
