I'd say it was bad, i alone killed off a wished for nataraja with 3-5 artifacts, a large army including a bunch of storm devils, and 25 commanders, including 6+ fully decked out titans, several who were enslaved minded

I don't know what I've done, but apparently Thufir's forging industry has suffered some setbacks due to long distance artillery I provided...

Working on my turn now - this time my excuse is that I've had the flu since New Year's Eve

odd_enuf, you exaggerate a bit methinks. However, simply killing my Nataraja was devestating enough. Your paralysis spam was a surprise, and a most excellent anti-SC tactic! I debated a long time whether to use the burning pearl or amulet of anti-magic in the Natarajas spare slot - I now am wondering how that battle would've gone had I chosen the amulet instead.

All right, I'm officially done for. I just lost six or seven provinces to ghostriders, had some of those taken over by blackhawks, had all of my SCs killed, or worse, charmed, and most of my remaining army destroyed.

My fire gem income has also been significantly cut due to Eternal Pyre being dispelled, I imagine Thufir was getting tired of having Skyfire raining down on his armies...

Anyway, the sum total of my situation is that what I can do from now on will be the feeble twitching of a near-corpse, and I certainly don't have anything capable of dealing with 6+ fully equipped Tartarians, a King of Fire, charmers, a Heliophagus and now two fully equipped Arch Devils (Ethanim and Furcas), and certainly not while having between three and six ghost riders or more cast at me every turn (because I hadn't managed to madcastle everything).

I'm not going AI quite yet, there's still some ways of hitting back and if nothing else, dumping my gems and items for someone who can make better use of them when I'm too far gone to do anything effective.

Ouch... somehow it didnt look that bad from my perspective!

Is this game dead?

Edi · #**167** January 20th, 2005, 10:17 AM

Seems that way to me, the hosting deadline has been repeatedly extended so that I haven't even bothered to check for the past three days. I'll play my turn when a new one becomes available, but so far it's been hanging on Thufir.

yea, if thufir can't keep up a schedual, he should stop resetting the time and iethor accept the stales or go AI, its not fair to the rest of us.

Hmm, this thread has not been active in a long time, but looks like the game is slowly but surely coming to a close. Odd_enuf is going to win this one, but I'm susprised I'm still even around. I imagine Soapy is not a very happy camper after what I've done to several of his armies that have poked their noses in through the wrong door...

Heheh, well I am not unhappy per se. I have only slowly lost ground vs Atlantis, and managed to inflict some nice setbacks to him.

That said he has OBSCENE resources, and with Man idling and giving up all his territory to Atlantis I would give myself, overall, a snowball's chance in hell of victory.

Still its pretty fun to fling 600 devil armies around.

Thats a LOT of summer lions you have there Edi! Heheh very very impressive
