FruitBat - EA newbie game - started

[ComTrav]

Go ahead and set me AI. As much as I'd like to fight to the bitter end, my staling on recent turns shows I've had a hard time keeping in the game.

Hope someone has master enslave counters.

Yup, antimagic should work fine with high-resistance units. Also battlewide spells work too (if you kill everything it doesn't matter who control them). Finally sending air queens when your opponents expects maenads works fine too.

By the way, I've started a war with Marveni. Anyone wanting to join me can do so, but it would seem that Tien'chi and Ulm fight to the end... so I'll be alone for a while.

ComTrav,

can you submit a turn where you go AI? Or should I do it? It wold be a lot easier if you can.

[kasnavada]

Ok...

Today I learned that gifts from heaven requires no MR check. There is just no way that your druids got over 26 MR twice when casting a spell three times (actually since you barely had enough skills to cast it your chance of bypassing it was less than 1%). And the "penalty" of precision is of course a joke if you equip properly your mages (which you did). Ouch. That spell is... well any druid can spam it. This is going to be much more difficult than I thought. My mistake though, I shouldn't have stayed with the air queen. By losing her though I learned something much more useful than what she was worth though.

Klaus, the FrostFather, failed to swing his sword. My bad...I did not realize that if he had the Boots of the Behemoth he would do NOTHING but trample. So Ember remained unused.

In his final fight vs. an Ice Devil I scripted
1. Summon Earthpower
2. Ironskin
3. Quicken Self

but instead got
1. Summon Earthpower
2. Ironskin
3. Invulnerability

I had just researched the necesary level for Invulnerability this turn or would have scripted that...but still! One would think it would have replaced Ironskin, NOT Quicken Self! Guess the AI knew I wasn't going to be swinging that lovely sword...

At least the Ice Devil that beat me had no empty slots so my Goodies were lost!

It's been fun! Many lessons learned the hard way. Donny played a good game and took me down. I will go AI this turn.

After my summer vacation, Klaus WILL ride again!

[kasnavada]

Waouh. Those few turns must have been amazing fights. I wish I could see them.

[fantasma]

luck helps - a bit - against the meteorites.
If you can trample your foe, you do trample, and nothing else. Quickness is actually good for tramplers since it increases action points.

I was afraid the air queen would join the mass slaughter at hesperia, but fortunately she did stay put.

[kasnavada]

Damned. The air queen got stolen.

Me <- sad.

[fantasma]

Stolen?
It was summoned with very high efforts.

It cost at least a hundred gems! But you will see her again soon, I promise!

[kasnavada]

A hundred gem ? You wished her away O.o ?

Well no matter. Here is another reason why maenads shouldn't be used that much in a battle :
