Alright! I feel rather caught up.

Thanks for the extension. I'm feeling more like my normal self, but I'm still exhausted. Getting up at 6 for class certainly doesn't help.

I'm about to get back to figuring out what to do this turn, but first some commentary:

I'm having a devil of a time countering these raids from buzz. Glamour is a downright pain to counter, and my slow, expensive, but still readily expendable troops just haven't had the right stuff when it comes to battles.

I'm really kicking myself for going with an SC for my pretender. As much as he gave me an early edge, he was useless the instant he died to Arco's Son of Titan. And the lack of diversity is compounding my problems.

I'm scrambling to meke out whatever edge I can, but I really don't have the experience (this is my... 6th(?) MP match, if you count the three first ones where I was taken out almost instantly. The others are still currently running.) to instinctively know what to do next.

Pan's done a wonderful job spreading disease. My sieging army took quite the hit, and what's left is slowly withering away!

You pretty much turned the tables on me. I can`t say I have seen that many master smiths before, and I paid for it. I was not expecting that to say the least.

I think I got a little too lax with the way that army had been rolling along.

I haven't even seen that battle yet. The turn staled while I was incapacitated, and I haven't had the time yet to go back and load it up. That said, the meager remnants of that army leaves me wondering how much damage I actually did to you.

Since I`m awake thanks to the nice drunk couple arguing in the hotel room next to me.

You`ll have to go back to watch it. Granted, I did a number on your non-mage units, but your mages really hurt my mages. It was a great battle to watch.

Wow, husband finally left after 40 minutes of threatening to leave. 5 minues later, the angry drunk wife throws her 13 year old daughter out of the room and says go stay with your father. Oh what fun. Sigh.

At least you don't have to go home to neighbours like that. (I hope!)
