Sorry for interrupting, I looked at the battle and I see Bandar Log clearly loosing. I'm running linux, but maybe it won't matter as the turn is already generated.

Nice with those Soul Slays. Oh and Terror wouldn't have been very effective because of his troops fighting in his own Dominion (+1 morale) and their high experience (+1-2 to morale).
The elephants in the battle had 11 morale (normally 9) and Terror causes a Fear attack of +10, that means that they have to beat 12 with 11 DRN, which is not very very hard. If they instead had been fighting in your dominion (-1) they would have had 9 morale (9 in base +1 experience - 1 dominion) making it difficult for them to beat the morale check (24%).

I see the same result that Starshine Monarch sees, I inflict extremely heavy losses, kill all his elephants and et cetera, but in the end my forces retreat.

I must admit, while I haven't played many multiplayer games, I have played many games with the pretender I used in this one, and have never, ever, seen her retreat before even once, no matter how badly the battle fared. So I did think it odd she retreated, and was a bit upset about it because I think she could have killed more of those filthy apes!

But, the problem of people seeing different battle reports is well known. I have the turn file of the battle from my end still in my mailbox, and I lose the battle in the end with my forces retreating.

On terror, yeah, once I watched the battle a few times I realized it was not a good spell selection. But I'm still relatively new to multiplayer (this being, along with a few other games I was concurrently in, my first foray into MP.)

Atlantis has staled 5 last turns. I think it's time to set them to AI.

Is he actually staliing, or just not doing anything? Because I think he took a turn a few times, and his army appears to be getting bigger reguarly. At least, occasionally.

Staling it seems. And... done!

sum1lost · #**295** August 6th, 2007, 07:55 PM

Now, that wasn't very nice of you, Rl'yeh. You ought to be ashamed. Actually, worried.

llamabeast · #**296** August 6th, 2007, 08:01 PM

Far better to have them AI than doing nothing as sitting ducks. At least the AI will spend the saved cash on troops.

Oh, I wasn't referring to the staling...

I was talking about the mindhunts hitting my provinces.

Mindhunts?

Hitting my border provinces?

Erm, you're an astral nation, using mind hunts against you is kinda pointless... Whoever is attempting that, it's certainly not me.
