Mictlan's Doom approaches. The Dark clouds of Ermor will cover your lands and Lady death has opened her arms to you beckoning your warriors to share in her cold embrace. As your warriors cower in fear like little girls afraid to take action our forces continue to grow while waiting for the sacred warriors of Mictlan to find their backbone and commit to their fate to be raised again and know the true power of death.

The forces you have pulled from your war with Bogarus to defend your ill gotten gains will not avail you against the forces you will meet here. But fear not. For in one turns time after we have taken back what is rightfully ours, if your warriors have not heeded lady deaths call and accepted their fate then we shall come to them so that lady death is not disappointed and both sides will surely see much death on that glorious day.

So saith the Lich God Psi

The tactical juggernaut of Midgard+Abysia continues to make rapid and unchecked progress against the remaining free peoples of the world. Their use of Horrors, and Teleporting SCs allow them to gain power and wealth at an unprecedented rate.

As usual, the one who has been thriving on propaganda, will accuse me of the same, while merrily pointing attention at Caelum, and continuing his trend of racing headlong towards final victory.

By now, it may already be too late. Those of you who have sat on your hands while more unfortunate nations were ground under the heel of this team, will soon face them alone - and you will perish brutally, and ever more swiftly than those who fell before you.

With a crushed partner, and lacking the tools to effectively counter the forces arrayed against us, it is only a matter of time now before Lanka is fully subsumed. Now, before our head is severed, biting and hissing the whole way, we issue this warning - most of you will die soon, and the time that you spent ignoring the threats arrayed against you, was time that you spend digging a shallow and unmarked grave for your nation.

Talk about strawmen.

Oh well, I guess it's just funny that one of the most powerful combined bless/blood nation whines about inevitable doom at a point he hasn't lost a single fight. Seriously, not a single one. Though, if most of your forces are committed to conquering your own teammate, I guess it leaves you a lot of time to complain.

I must conclude this must be humorous and funny. The alternative is just way too sad.

I love how informing, must always be portrayed as whining.

With my teammate all but gone from the game at this point, Lanka has slim to no chance of victory, especially already at war with the strongest team in the game.

I just figure everyone else should know that your team is soon to own 6 capitals - and that they should know BEFORE it happens, before you can solidify your gains.

And to clarify, most of us suffered setbacks, but from the graphs, you don't seem to have. Whining would be to say "boohoo, things went wrong for me". That's irrelevant. No one cares about my lack of good blood hunting provinces, etc. All they care about, and I was telling them, was that you really are winning, whether you deny it or not.

I don't deny that Caelum is a powerful force to absolutely not be disregarded, but they are currently less developed, and have less momentum than your team (from all the intel that I can gather), so if people disregard Midgard and Abysia now, they are moving inevitably towards one of two likely ends: a showdown between Caelum2 vs Midgard/Abysia, or simply a nearly uncontested Midgard/Abysia victory.

Shame on me for having an accurate assessment of the current situation. I never said I won't be able to hurt you, I just said that I know you're going to win. Observation of reality /= whining.

Hm. The game's barely started and you're talking about victors. Let's see:

Most artifacts: probably Utgård & Bogarus
Well of Misery and thus Tartarian horde: Caelums
Most research: Caelum, Bogarus, Midgård
Lots of provinces: Midgård, Marignon (research, gem income, ANGELS), Yomi (recruitable SCs, gem income, RECRUITABLE SCs for crying out loud)

...well anyway, that's just a few of them and please don't anyone start a war against me because I happened to miss/include your nation. But it should be clear that this game's far from settled.

The only reason JM is so fixated on Midgård is the fact his teammate attacked me 20 turns ago, managed to accomplish nothing and now is finally the time I'm in the position to do something in return. I admit, "whining" might've been a bit strong word (sorry, English isn't my native language), but unless Lanka's Master of Propaganda degrees include brain washing even JM must agree his viewpoint is a bit... biased.

how long until we hit 72h?

namad · #**567** February 14th, 2009, 03:03 AM

Yes, that's exactly right. Everyone should kill Yomi, forget about Midgard

Yomi is the real threat here! Dogpile on Yomi Woohoo!!! haha

I'm totally biased. Obviously it's quite common for someone's main army to be annihilated by Wrathful Skies on turn 20, and it's just sheer ignorance and inexperience that allow someone to not plan for that.

I am also probably biased, because I know how powerful Midgard becomes when it reaches a critical mass of gold income, Air gem income, and Blood Slave income. Since only 1 of those 3 items is painfully clear from the Score Graphs, I could totally be imagining the other 2. I am sure that there are plenty of other explanations for the Air based forged items and battle magic that I have seen, and I am also quite sure that if Abysia is the true Blood power of your team (heaven forbid!), that he would never supply you with Blood Slaves, or spam Horrors and Disease Demons at your opponents for you.

It's a good thing that I am either imagining all of that, or I have lost my objectivity due to my knowledge of how to play Midgard effectively, and the carnage that I have already witnessed your team wreaking on others.

So I guess the short answer - yes, I am biased against Midgard and Abysia specifically because while I am quite familiar with what all of the "contenders" are -capable- of, I only fully know what your team has already developed and deployed. But I guess any of the nations that you listed off could have been fighting 3-4 nations at once for most of the game, and making enormous gains with few notable losses throughout the campaign. I admit that level of ignorance.

every single point you've made is clear every single turn from the scoregraph

and you take a really sarcastic position in your writing and post twice a turn... at some point it's just badgering

the thing is... find someone somewhere on the map who isn't midgard's teammate and isn't at war... gonna be hard to do
