somehow last turn my money hit the zero?

Utterdark drops your income to 10% of what it was. And your upkeep stays the same.

because you would have been a sitting duck for Abysia then.

Abyssian troops cannot get underwater, even with items. And knowing, that some part of enemy empire is effectively immune to your attacks - well, it`s a huge deterrent for some.

That was sarcasm on my part.

[Shardphoenix]

Oh, sorry. I have troubles understanding written sarcasm. %)

It looks like the real fun won't happen for another turn or two since our main armies are our of position.

We'll be watching the skies for more fireballs...

I'm all with you about Paron: He was a steely eyed missile man throughout this entire game and deserves a huge amount of credit for tenaciously resisting Ulm.[/quote]

this makes me sound so much cooler than i have ever actually been in real life. thanks rev.

[mattyburn7]

You rock Parone!

Rev: I hope those 2 armies get to clash. Strategically its lost, but some mega-battles should be fun. I'm going to send out all my armies and let them fight until they are dead or deserted!

Bone Daddy's minions smell delicious brains up North and are rushing as fast as their rotten legs will take them.

Confusion's working on undead chaff? Interesting.

Your main army has almost 70 astral mages and a mix 10 decked out Zmeys and Bane Lords with a couple of construction 8 items for good measure. I'm sure it would be loads of fun for you if we attacked this force, but it would be suicide on our part.

Same thing with Atlantis who has a couple of big armies to the South, one of which has been been carefully designed to cast Undead Mastery using an elaborate communion with lots of penetration items.

Sorry fellas, Bone Daddy might be undead, but he's not crazy. We're going to let you guys chase around our armies for awhile until they bleed out some more and we can gather enough forces to crush you.

This won't be very much fun for you guys because your armies will succumb to desertion and disease (waves of leprosy headed your way BTW) while I send lots of little armies to raid your rear areas and assassinate your commanders with Manifestation, Earth Attacks, and seeing arrows. I have big evocation spells coming online soon, too, which will just compound your misery.

If all the remaining players concede then I'd be happy to throw everything I have in waves of suicide attacks and test various tactics, but until then, I'm playing this thing like I can still lose it, which means I'll be as merciless and cunning as I can be.

do what you need to do. There isn't a snowballs chance of winning this regadless. Even if all your armies suddenly disappeared. Between the globals that are cast, your massive gem income and the rituals you could cast. Our armies are toast. I ended my siege of Marignon to face you in battle and that has allowed him to chip away also. If we fight some battles, great. If not, I'll watch my forces bleed until its time to call it quits.
