Noob's shot at an R'lyeh AAR

[CharonJr]

Turn 16

Thaumaturgy is up to level 5 (soul slay – yummy ) and 175 RPs short of level 6 (my goal due to enslave mind).

In Abysia my troops were attacked by the 2 units from Nifel (2 Warlords), those were killed without even getting close to my troops.

Abysia (40) – 27.170 pop, 90%, 5 UR, 90 inc, 38 res, 0 def, dom -2

I am bloodhunting in Dunheim (28) and Gol Phalas (26).

My mage Qithas (1Ai, 1W, 3As) will lead a part of my siege army (2 Otherness, 2 Formless Spawns and 4 Illithid Soldiers) to take the province of Nifel (57) which seems to be devoid of defenders (except for potential PD). Qithas’ spells are scripted as 1x Quickness, 4x Soul Slay, when I reach Enslave Mind I will exchange the Soul Slays for Enslave Mind.

In Abysia my prophet starts to preach. I hope the 2 dom there will vanish faster than my troops are able to breach the gates.

If I knew how fast I can lower the enemies dominion in Abysia I might be able to move most of my army close to Pangaea and try to siege its home province after conquering Vepitre (14), but for now I will build up troops in R’lyeh and concentrate my forces on Abysia.

My new mage turned out to be 1W, 3As, 1D and 1N this time, he is assigned to cast Acashic Record on Talito (36) this turn since it does contain some mountains and should have a better chance than the plains provinces to contain magic sites.

I am giving the Clam to one of my star child researchers and Cthugul will kepp forging new ones.

Another starspawn mage and star child will be build this turn in addition to 7 more Lobo Guards.

Depending on the success of my prophet in deminishing the dominion in Abysia I might have to move one of my mages to Abysia with additional troops, but would prefer to keep them researching for now.

Research in thaumaturgy will continue.

To be continued...
