Doh. Major miscalculation on my part: Undead Mastery requires 6D and not 7D. I won't make that mistake again. Take care of my undead for me Atlantis.

Matty, you were supposed to stand still so I could pummel your mages with Rain of Stones. Now I'm going to have to chase you down. If you could do me a favor and blow out Midgard for me to your South while you're raiding, I would appreciate it. Between you and Atlantis, I can never seem to find time to take care of their last fortress (it's full of delicious air mages BTW).

I won't survive much longer. I had 2 things I was hoping to protect me from ROS. Just curious if you know if I was correct in knowing that they would have helped:

1) I had a mage with a Crystal matrix set to cast Fog Warriors on round 1. I'm assuming if you break siege he would act first and cast it which should protect from the ROS?

2) I had a sword of Augelmer. Keyword Had. Someone swiped it.

Also as an FYI the mage scripted to cast Fog Warriors got bumped off this turn so I would have been screwed too!!

BUT assuming you hadn't removed both of those from me. I'm assuming both, particularly first would have protected me?

Yeah. He would have definitely cast it first, so you would have been well protected from ROS.

I used wish to steal it from you (along with the chalice this turn -- can't have you making Tartarians). If you had engaged my army you would have been facing 3,500 undead buffed with army of gold, fog warriors, and luck.

I used all my remote attacks against Atlantis last turn. It must have been due to disease?

Actually, ROS only casts 100 fatigue. If I wasn't an idiot I would have scripted it to cast twice, which probably would have done a lot of damage.

Sorry for the blast of messages.

That sword was doing a great job of protecting you from remote attacks like Fires from Afar and Seeking arrow. I needed to remove it not only to give myself an advantage in the battle, but to open you up to Murdering Winter (even though you're protected with 50% resistance it still does a lot of damage in 3-cold provinces) and soon Flames from Sky.

Ah so it was Wish that did it. I learned the hard way what something like ROS can do to my poor mages!!

parone · #7 July 21st, 2012, 06:11 AM

what is ROS?

Shardphoenix · #8 July 21st, 2012, 07:52 AM

Rain of Stones, aka "Rocks fall, everyone dies".

does that work well? i was thinking of employing it in another game-i was ulm, fighting mictlan. thought maybe my heavier armor would protect me. instead i used my pretender for fires from the sky and he got killed-there was a dome.

i'm not making this sh*t up. i am really this bad. would rain of stones have been a good move? the armies were big(me-200 units, him maybe 350-400)

Ulm knocked out Bone Daddy in this game with his Dome of Fiery Death that was protecting his capitol -- even though BD had extra armor and a ring of fire (liches are susceptible to fire). Luckily, BD is immortal and bounced back the next turn, but I now have a no remote attack policy with my pretender. I actually had this policy from my first game when I unwisely mind hunted with my immovable sphinx pretender and got him feebleminded, but I really mean it this time

It's a good idea to try to figure out what dome someone might have and put in the appropriate defenses.
