I didn't see any Acid Rain.

The Blade Wind did alright, but there were just too many Eagle Warriors for you to have much of a chance. It would have been better if your real troops had been outside the Maenads as well, as them fighting and dying would have been better than just standing there and autorouting.

Well I guess the Jade Maidens were pretty much immune to blade wind

I'm going to be honest. On the first examination of the turn I didn't even notice your attack. This is in no way my attempt to be rude, but I had bigger concerns at the time.

I don't want you to leave the game without taking something from this experience. My greatest pleasure was in seeing you choose the master lich as your pretender. It is such a wonderful pretender in my opinion and really deserves more praise then it gets. However, I feel you didn't use it to it's fullest potential. The master lich is the sort of god you send out naked with a bunch of chaff to cast some horrifying battlefield spell and then script to attack so that he dies from a short sword wound. Dying while in his own dominion is honestly the best thing that can happen to the master lich once he's done his thing. For him it's like a free teleport spell back to his capitol. Combine that with the ability to cloud trapeze or teleport and you can strike at armies on opposite sides of your dominion in consecutive rounds. In your case you could have sent out your god in repeated attempts to whittle my army down and assess my forces. These free attacks could have allowed you to see some sort of hole in my strategy. It might have made you avoid blade wind in preference to some other spell.

I less-then-three the master lich to a degree that I'm sure you can't comprehend. Unlike every other person in this game who prefers that damned great enchantress. Three of them, how in the world can their be three of them! Let's also not forget Ry'leh with his stupid wyrm! In the same way I love the master lich, I detest the wyrm. Don't get me wrong, it is a good wyrm as far as wyrms go, but for god sake it has a head where it's $@# should be!

Thank you for playing till the end. I very much like to see someone with tenacity. It reminds me that next time, when against the same opponent, things won't be so easy.

Yeah, things wont be so easy in our Revenge of Pimping game.. Of course I currently have a NAP with your teammate and I suppose by extension with you as well, at least until Ermor is taken care of..

The main thing I learned from that game was Dont go with Pangaea for that strategy on such a small damn map where you wont have time to get production into full swing. The battle might have gone a little differently had I made some more enourmous cauldrons and fed my troops before hand, I didnt realize that starvation hurt their moral that badly, most of them started running as soon as it started. But I wanted it to be over so I can spend my time elsewhere anyways.

Well Arco is officially dead. Unfortunately I think I ended up doing absolutely nothing, but I tried

Thanks for doing what you could. It was much better then letting the nation go AI.

To Vanheim: I hope your large army likes dying a slow and painful death in a disease infested swamp. I suppose I neglected to mention that feature of the landscape.

Yeah, lets call that a beginner's mistake... I'm using that same die-in-the-swamp strategy in singleplayer games all the time!

I'm really noticing that one turn at this point of the game needs actually lots of time and attention to be carried out succesfully without being infested with simple mistakes. I just dropped out of my second game so I could concentrate more on Standards, I hope it improves my gameplay a bit.

I had my last turn actually carefully played out in good time, but then my son came and pressed the power off from the computer. I had to replay the turn in haste last night, so I blame him for any mistakes I made

Could I please get a 72 hour extension? I'll be gone this weekend.

No problem.

Let it be known that Ashdod has perpetrated an unprovoked attack against the Nation of Man in violation of our NAP. Let this be evidence to all other nations the cost of tolerating their continued existence as their wanton lust for conquest will not be sated until all lands are crushed beneath their gargantuan heels.

(Actually I'm somewhat happy you made a move, it was getting a bit boring and I'm interested to see if I'll be able to topple your giants. Also, how the the heck did this thread fall to the second page?)
