MP: RNGNoob EA Noob game, Now playing!

If you consider everyone elses gems in aggregate you all have quite a bit more then myself

Even if we all unite against you - effectiveness of gem-usage will differ, you know? And it isn`t gonna happen, for Aby decided to go berserk on me, together with his Lanka vassal.

. Plus my army isn't that much larger then yours and Abysia's

[sarcasm]Because mundane armies matter at this stage of the game.[/sarcasm]

I'd be surprised if you didn't have all the tools to start pulling out Tartarians between your gift of health and I'm pretty sure you have that spiffy sceptre that gives +3 death.

Tartarians? What for? They are a waste of N gems and mage-time after all the nerf and introduction of new summons. BTW, I don`t have the scepter. Someone else forged it.

If anything you should be most worried about my research advantage

And your gold advantage. And your recruit-everywhere-ridiculously-good-mage advantage. And your "can-cast-Master-Enslave-without-communion" advantage.

Btw, Lanka is not "my vassal" to any extent. But there is this part of the game where you can actually talk to people and work something out.

And I didn't "go berserk" on you. We clashed over Helheim, and what was I going to do? Sit around quietly in the northern border, while having a leading research neighbor with no so many land passings to the rest of the world? You didn't try to talk to me once, and neither did I, but I'm not the one complaining about Marverni development here.

As for the global picture, I didn't even share a border with Marverni when all this started to happen. And I expected Pangea to have a better time while AdamJ was busy north, but it went down fast. And Shard Phoenix, I did not go after you because looking for an easier target, on the contrary, TC was a dangerous neighbor to had if I wanted to put a fight to Marverni; and I thought there was a window of opportunity to secure that border. Not what happened, as we all can see. But I'm not outraged about this turn of events.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Tartarians are nerfed and a waste of nature gems? Seriously? And the gold advantage isn't nearly enough to give me the game, I've got less then a 1/3 of total worldwide gold income, which means everyone else together earns over double what I get.

And I don't get your master enslave issue- the druids are awesome, I'll agree, but they can't cast master enslave without a communion unless I gave one of my rare S4s a starshine cap, a ring of wizardry and crystal coin (70 gems)whereby they reach S7. Then I need someone else to cast banner of the northern star to get him to S8. Then I need to blow 8 astral gems and pray that the very fragile and very comatose druid doesn't get killed and lose his 70 gems of equipment because a single master enslave with -3 penetration (-4 from spell +1 from ring) isn't likely to be all that devastating to any army worth blowing all that gems on.

I'm just saying it's early to call the game, there's alot of unknown factors out there which could swing an advantage to someone else, heck Abysia could be sitting on an blood magic or alteration site and be sandbagging- we know he invested alot of research in blood since he's got those arch devils and that tainted earth king hanging out over there. But hey, it's your prerogative, if you want to quit we can't stop you.
