Karan Game (in progress)

[Graeme Dice]

I'd like to continue playing, since I've really been enjoying this game, but I am also okay with ending it now if everyone else agrees.

It appears that the game itself has become corrupted in some manner, since it will not host even when I remove all .2h files from the directory.

It looks like we've reached the end of the game, since I can't figure out any way to get it to work properly.

well that is a shame.

it was fun playing with you all, even though Graeme was kicking my *** with those Ice Devils. Hey, I did manage to kill one though

Hey Alex T - how about you tell us what happened that you were able to knock Marignon out so quickly?

In fact, I would be interested in hearing any and all of your game-summaries: why you chose the pretender you did, how it worked out, and why you made the decisions in-game that you did, etc.

It is, I'll send the game into Illwinter perhaps once they get back from Origins to see if they can figure out what went wrong with it.

Machaka also killed one. You probably would have killed many more now that your Tuatha could zap them with thunderstrike.

I'll write something up tonight starting from where I took over from Zen.

For my part of Abysia I have to say:

I killed Miasma C'tis VQ about 10 times from turn 8-18.

I killed Pangaea's Blue Dragon on turn 4 (I believe) thus solidifying a alliance of epic prooportions (I think).

I also had a crew of about 20ish (can't remember exactly) Devils by turn 15.

Lava Warriors rule!

It looks that upgrading the Version is not a good idea. There's another game (where Patrick is Pangaea and Graeme was Caelum) which after upgrade has became between life and death too.

My story was simple. I took good scales and blue dragon with water-4 (or maybe water-3) The dragon got killed early on when I've attacked the same indy province as Abysia. Overall my pretender was quite useless, I ended up using him as a raider and just calling him back every time he got killed.

At the same time, Marignon has attacked me (on turn 3 or 4 I think), but he had no answer to centaur warriors. While fighting Marignon I've started paying tribute to Abysia to make sure they will attack somebody else. About when I've finished Marignon, my relationship with Abysia were converted into alliance and quickly after Caelum has attacked Abysia. I've joined the war and pushed Caelum back, defeating his pretender's army couple of times (though his God has managed to flee every time). After that the situation has stabilized for a while until I got attacked by both Mictlan and Man. Initially, I've lost most of my provinces and got sieged in the castles, but then I've organized some kind of order and pushed the enemies back after killing couple of hundred of Mictlan's devils (in separate battles) and SCs including his God. I defeated Man's trolls and sidhes several times as well and things were starting to look better as I took few fortresses and good provinces from Mictlan. But then he has gathered a strong army and beaten my advancing forces and Ulm has attacked me at the same time. The balance has seemed to be reestablished and at that stage the game stopped.

It was fun game, the balance was shifting from one side to another and it was very enjoyable to play.

When I took over, I took stock of the situation and saw that I had several key provinces fortified, and that I was besieging C'Tis. In the first few turns, I basically went about setting up a blood economy, and getting rid of the Last remnants of the Lizards. Mictlan managed to grab a province down in that region though, which caused me to have to divert a relatively large force to keep it occuppied.

I used the robe of the sea that I had traded to Man to summon the ice devils, as to my surprise Mictlan had skipped them for the archdevils. I also managed to grab the death 4 heliophagus, which was a nice bonus as it gave me a place to put mage bane. I then basically focused on defending my key bloodhunting ppovinces with castles using the income from Pangaea's fever fetish supply. I also tried to make sure that I moved my forces in a group that I felt was powerful enough to take on just about anything that could be thrown at it. This led to less raiding capability, but also relatively smaller losses.
