Default Re: Abyssian and sabbath, what went wrong ?

The wyrm limped and wheezed its way to the front of the army. It began the long, laborious process of crawling towards the enemy ranks. Gasp, shuffle, cough, rest.

The Warlock Apprentices, each with a beautiful girl in a gilded iron cage before him, stabbed downwards with their daggers and devoured the life energy of the virgins, joining a great Sabbath for the revered master of the Smouldercone himself, Malphas the Warlock.

Fire flew in waves at the Sauromatians, and men and horses caught fire, rolled, and exploded.

Then suddenly, A Thing Which Should Not Be materialized before Malphas, rending, devouring his essence. He was torn asunder.

Out of the husk of the body rose the Corruptor. It was the true enemy, the monster that would destroy Claire and her people, leading them away from the pure fire and turning them forever towards the tainted path of blood. It hissed and vomited blood at the lesser horror, then flew, laughing as it fled.



Claire, the forgotten dragonling, had almost made it halfway across the field by the time the Warlock Apprentices were exhausted. Riddled with arrows and hurt, she painfully slithered back toward the doomed lands of the fire people.

Bodies of exhausted fire mages lay strewn across the battlefield. The Sauromatians approached eagerly with spears and forks. You didn't even have to cook Abysians.

And also, in answer to K. The lvl 1 blood mages didn't give me enough virgin to start mass producing them (edit : soul contracts), but it was in my plans. As you have now seen, sauromantia is going after me, and heavy infantry (100% of abyssian troops) is completely useless against them.

So I planned to go "troopless". I'll put what troopless Abyssia means for me in the EA thread for Abyssia later (probably when this particular game is over). Now that I've actually played them I've got much better insight of how to use the nation effectively.

Resuming the thread :

- place the slaves for the sabbath slave in one of the back corner (indy commander or something like that),
- place the slaves for the sabbath master in the other back corner (indy commander or something like that),
- place slaves sabbath casters far enough from their slaves so they don't burn them but let them close enough that they can use them anyway,
- place master sabbath casters far enough from their slaves so they don't burn them but let them close enough that they can use them anyway,
- script accordingly,
- enjoy.
