Rulers of the world:

Do not trust the word of the silver tongued leader of the Empire of Pythium.

The Bakemono are nowhere near as powerful as Pythium. I currently have no Tartarians, no SC's and no demons either. I am way behind in research compared to C'tis and Pythium.

My armies and commanders/mages have been decimated by attacks by Pythium and Pangaea as you can see in the graphs.
My Adepts of the Golden Order are now limited in number since being hit by 4 Earth attacks and 3 ghost riders a turn for the past 7+ turns from Pangaea and Pythium. It has also been raining toads in the my 3 main fortresses for 15+ turns.

Pythium currently has 9 Tartarians, an Air Queen, a Harbinger and various other large HP troops beseiging the Tower of the Golden Order (see attached picture) and he will take it next turn. He has 2 other Harbingers and a Tartarian Cyclops rampaging through my other lands. He now has 7 of my former provinces. He master enslaved many of my troops and now he uses them against me.

You can see in the graphs that he is nearly, now, top in all of them. His lies can not be believed.

The Bakemono have been honourable warriors the whole game. Lying is a not an act we respect. We do not ask for help, we are simply asking you: do you want Pythium to win this game?

Reay,

A picture is worth a 1000 words. But it can fail to show certain things. As I stated(truthfully)all but 3 of my tartarians in your lands are just units, they are not commanders. And the flying one is blind! It has a zero attack and defense! The other flying one is feebleminded, and one of the commanders has never healing wound.

Tartarians do have a lot of hps, but with a zero attack/defense they are hardly the be all end all of an endgame dominions 3 army.

You have no demons? What are those units that throw lighting and the little ones that throw fire? National summons to be sure, but the little ones that throw fire i am near certain are demons left over from an earlier era.

Maybe this will refresh your memory:






Pythium is not losing its war with Shin. But neither have we inflicted any lasting damage on Shin to this point. The only castles we have taken have been from Pangaea.

But should Pythium actually gain a foothold on Shin. soil, that fact will not herald the end of the game. It may in fact lessen Shin.'s chances of victory, but Shin. cannot dispute the vast number of gems Pythium has spent in this war. Astral travel is not cheap, and it has been done more than once, ghost riders have been cast, mages have teleported, master enslave, while effective, is not cheap.

Battlefield spells cost gems. I have had an Air Queen with full items killed by Shin., and incurred many other losses.
And have yet to gain a single fort-though that may soon change(who knows). Pythium certainly hopes so.

But nations like Ermor have Well of Misery and tartarians without number. Ctis has 5 times(easily) the number of tartarians of Pythium). And these nations are saving their gems. They are not spending 50 gems a turn in war.

They will have a large say on who wins Fallacy, regardless of whom wins the war between Shin and Pangaea, or Ryleh and Caelum, or Pangaea and Jotunheim.

I do not know where you got those unit info pics from because I have no demons currently in my armies. Anyway how could you see units on the strategic map if they are not your units? They only time you can see other peoples units are when you are watching battles. The background of those pics is the strategic map and not a battle. They are probably in your armies because you enslaved them from me.

I am willing to give my turn files away to an independant person to prove that I have no demons currently in my armies.

Anyway it doesn't matter, but believe me the leader of Pythium is a master of lies.

There is no deception, or attempt at deception Shinuyama. The foul smoke that rises from the pits in your lands has clearly clouded your wits.

These 2 were obviously enslaved! Their hps, enhanced from GOH, are clearly shown. The point is not that these 2 demons are yours, but that you are summoning them!

Pythium is a wholesome nation of Fighting men, Wise old mages, Priests, and Angels, while Shinuyama is a foul nation of goblins/demons. Maybe Pythium has succeeded in slaying all of Shinuyama's demons. If so, the World truly does owe Pythium a debt of gratitude.[Priest rattles the collection plate].

Though what would stop Shinuyama from summoning more is a question Pythium cannot answer(: Only the complete destruction of Shinuyama would give the World a level of assurance it needs that more demons are not being brought into this plane through the Portal from Hell!

Many other losses? You have gained more troops (70-80 Dai Bakemeno/O'Bakemono)? from me than you have lost. You have lost one air queen that is true, but you have not lost anything of value to me since then.

3 of the Tartarians have one affliction, but they are still brutal with 2 having 640 hp and one having 5s and 2 blood and 2 cyclops with 2A3E. The others are mostly 300+ HP each. Your GOH is serving you well.

How is T'ien Chi's great city going with all those gems and income? You stole it from me after my long battle with the fierce forest beings as I was just about to storm it.

Shinuyama is not a late game power, whereas Pythium is, everyone knows that. Pythium probably has more demons in his armies than I have.

Perhaps we should rattle the plates to get some donations to stop Pythiums Evil Armies of Tartarians?

OOC

Actually Shinuyama is a very potent late game power. Playing Shin I won a mp game beating some excellent players playing Pythium, Ryleh, Mictlan, and Agartha(tough late as well). While it was an Epic Heroes game, Dr P killed my Epic Hero early in the game so he was not a factor.

Bane Fire can bring down the mightiest sc, and Shin alone has access to mages at every castle that can cast Bane Fire earth attacks(with boosters), ghosts riders(with boosters). Of course all mages need boosters to cast ghost riders and earth attacks.

Shin's mages are sacred, and benefit from an Earth bless, and their high hps make them immune to seeking arrow. They can spam skellies making them immune to earth attacks. And
even 1 shin mage in a province spamming magna eruption can defeat ghost riders x 2.

Shin's summons can also be quite powerful used in combination with other things.

Shin. also has one of the best pd in the game, especially above 20.

Yes, Shin can be reasonable in the end game as you specified.
However Pythium is much more powerful as you are witnessing now.

Protecting against Ghost Riders and Earth Attacks is hard when you are scripting to defend against 2000 naked women and undead.

Your single Ghost Rider attacks are defeating my 30 PD every time unless I have one Sorcerer in the province. Half of my Sorcerers have been killed already in the past 15-20 turns.

Of course my lack of experience in the end game will probably be the deciding factor.

Yes, Ermor has some dozens of Tartarians now. We use them to tend the fields, and put down unrest in the provinces. The few that have intact brains, we use to research. We would not say that we have a Tartarian host to field though... most of them are cretins.

Wait, did I say I had Tartarians tending the fields? I meant we have barbarians tending the fields. No tartarians at all, nope, none.
