That is why it is important to fun in the endgame. Sure it may be a better strategy to win to sit for 2-3 months and build up, but i play the game to have fun mostly, and i enjoy the battles.

Defending is more fun than attacking because it is easier typically. You are fighting in your dominion, near your home base, you do not have to transport troops across the world to get them to battle, and it is much easier to defend catles then to take them.

But we all do not have the luxury of being defenders or the game really will last forever!

BTW, that Ice Devil actually lived a turn longer than I thought he would. I was not happy when i summoned him and I got the one that "though weaker than the others" he does has 2 astral magic." heh. At least he tied and took a mage with him so he was not a total waste.

Shin....

Just a suggestion. When you take your turn, maybe you could take your next turn as well? (since you are generally last). I think you are pretty small at this point, and it would speed up the game. I'm not criticizing you, but just trying to speed up the game a bit.

I do try and do as much as I can of the next turn as soon as I finish my turn. Being attacked by Pythium means it takes a long time to set up defense with 15 provinces being attacked each turn.

Fortunately I won't be around for much longer and then you can take on the monstrosity that is Pythium .

reay i have never attacked 15 provinces in 1 turn! lol. 6 or 7, yes. And your demise would go faster if you would not kill my angels and ice devils!

As an aside, i never knew when you mind hunted an uba, they did not die but just shape shifted to cat form. how hokie!

ray and reay-the names sound alike. are you 2 related? ray seems to be determined to pick a fight with me for some reason Pythium cannot understand other than we are at war with a nation owned by a player with a similar name. heh.

Default Agartha wins!

Agartha the Great is proud to announce several victories at once. Several military victories over Eriu and a moral victory over Ermor. Agartha the Restrainted, though capable of, doesn't join the folly of summoning the banned false gods of the Tartarus. Those foul beasts are the weapon of the weak of will and honor. We will send it and his companions back where it came from and suggest you take your ally Eriu as an example of how a man/women/beast/well/undead fights.

Default Re: Agartha wins!

We are not sure where Agartha's moral victory over us occurred, since we wiped out the province we attacked with hardly any losses. Oh, and they were so happy to be liberated from your yoke, that they gave us 200gp!

And if you are suggesting that we are dishonorable because we use Tartarians... well, there was one in that battle. He was feebleminded and guarding a commander. Not exactly much of an influence. The rest are back home pillaging my own lands. Now, which councillor was it that suggested we summon those things? We think he needs one less head.

-The Council of Ermor

Default Re: Agartha wins!

Hey! Don't pick on us Reays .

Well I lost about 8 mages to assassination rituals that turn. 3 Ashen Angels and 4 Earth Attacks, 2 Fires from Afar, 1 Mind Hunt and 1 failed Vengeance of the Dead.

My Golem didn't cast returning even though it had 4 astral gems and then got magic dueled grr..

The Uba you mind hunted was muted. So it looks like it took a lot of damage but its second form saved it.

The former capital of Ulm and Tien Chi are now in Pythium's hands.
