Panther I bow before your superior tactics and thank you for a lesson well learned next time I will be searching frantically for magic sites from day one and watching the skies for false horrors.

Now that the game is over, I wanted to comment on this. The reason I went after you first, Steerpike, is that Arcoscephale is one of the races that can whip the false horrors from Caelum quite easily. All you have to do is research Thamauturgy first and then construction next (to get inexpensive starshine skullcaps and amulets of penetration for every single mage). With a nice pearl income from searching and clamming, you can use the sacred heart companions (with some priestesses to bless them, give them courage, and then heal everyone afterwards) or vine ogres to tank the horrors. Your back row mages will then then do mind control, paralyze, soul slay, and all the other nifty astral spells against the Caelum archers and mages, completely ignoring the mindless horrors! Light of the Northern Star is an absolute MUST spell for doing this, and it takes but one pearl to cast!

In one of my games in which I am about to die, I did this against Caelum and now have several seraphs and some bane lords (all without leadership, lol). It is not Caelum killing me, but instead is Mictlan and the devils.

Anyway, good game, Steerpike.
