Wow, this thread is becoming a gripping read...

Yeah . Mictlan is atm lurkering and preparing but not involved in anything .
Well who can resent the Mictlan ppl this .
They are so busy with doing more and more cruel deeds to the poor virgins seen worthy enough to be sacrificed for the salvation of the evil Mictlan God . They seem to even enjoy it . Unfortunately though motivating them for warfare is under these paradisiac conditions ( expect for the poor blood slaves ) still impossible .

Especially the Mictlan priests have been affected by this laziness as well and thus our research is sucking .
Our potential opponents have such nice spells like Ghost riders , flames from the sky , Tartarian gate .... while the only remarkable Mictlan spell atm is wish .

The Mictlan warmachine is one of the slowest in the world . Awakened it is horrible though

Here's a few screen grabs from this turns major battle. Ermor attempted put a big time whup *** on poor old Abysia, but things, perhaps didn't quite work out as those Old Empire Ermorians had hoped. The battle progressed through 3 phases: a major Ghost Rider attack, a large battle in the movement phase, and then the storming of the castle (I won't bother to screen grab this Last, as it was rather anticlimatic).

The good guys: (well, I'm not sure if it's really fair to call Devils, Arch Devils, Father Illearth, Bane Lords and the like "good guys", but we like to think of ourselves as rather allright blokes )






Now, can you guess how many castings of Ghost Riders it takes to do this?

[Thufir]

Now heres what we do to those there undead in our neck a' the woods (in case your lacking a 12 gauge shotgun, flame eruption works nicely ):

[Thufir]

Now, after we toasted and roasted entire truckloads worth of Ghost Riders, then Ermor moved onto their real attack. Check this out (and can you count how many Tartarians those crazy old Ermorians brought to the party?):




If there's anything more effective than Flame Eruption, it has to be Flame Storm:



And the impact:

Whow, nice pics, Thufir, thanks.

Don't keep us in suspense. Who won?

Thanks! As you probably figured out by now, you caught me in mid-edit. The results are now fully posted, along with a few more screen shots.

Awesome work Thufir

[Thufir]

Ahhhh, relief!




Now it took us a while to bring this into play (we may need to work on our scripts a bit), but here is a required component to any serious Fire Based Army - Fire Storm - just as it first takes effect:

[Thufir]

The beginning of the end (including a little "gift from heaven" - not exactly fire based, but even Arch Devils and Heliophagii need a little variety now and again):



Note the paralyzed Tartarian Monstrum in the lower center - he eventually sees the light (with a little help from the Tartarian Chains), and joins up with our side.



Here is a screen grab of what was going on in the Abysian rear for most of the battle (at least once the devils left to attack the Ermorian rear). Osirus (our Son of the Sun Pretender) and Pedoseion (Father Illearth) were primarily working over the Doom Horror, though another Tartarian Monstrum weighed in for Ermor, along with a bit of chaff. Eventually, Osirus gets the Doom Horror to see reason (again, with a bit of help with the Tartarian Chains), and the Doom Horror joins up with the Abysians. Here's the shot of the rear area:

[Thufir]

Well, when it was all said and done, the mighty Abysian army defeated Ermor in all three phases. We lost about 30 devils, and sadly we lost two excellent mages (both our nature relief/charm casters, one quite well equipped). We gained a Doom Horror and a Tartarian Monstrum, although both will need GoR, if we want them as commanders. All losse occurred in the second phase. The storming of the castle was successful, with no losses on our part, and insignificant losses for Ermor.

Ermor lost their death gems for the GR castings (I'd guess 5-6 castings). In their second phase attack they lost their entire army, all comanders (including perhaps 15 Tartarians, mostly non-commanders). In the castle storming, the lost insignificant quantities of undead.
