Well killing lots of chaff no doubt about it, but he still has his truly dangerous toys, i.e. air queen, arch devil(s), king of banefire...

Same for Pangea. Easy to kill swathes of troops, its the commanders that are the problem.

Well, you did just off 15 mage commanders (and my prophet), along with 150 troops, so it'll take a while to replace those, and I lost a buttload of equipment as well. I was NOT a happy bunny...

Actually what I expect to happen is that after the current spates of conflict are resolved to their satisfactory conclusion, I'm going to get stomped flat. It's bound to happen sooner or later, because I'm not a very skilled player. This, what, my first MP game and I've been lucky with lots of things.

Well in that case... how about we return to our orginal borders?

Edi · #4 October 29th, 2004, 03:23 PM

Certainly, Soapy, your original borders under the Aegis of the Abysian Empire will be just fine!

Don't worry, at least you will have the satisfaction of probably having drained me enough to make me vulnerable for somebody else, unless Pangaea has you in worse straits than I thought.

Hear that everyone? Abysia is WEAK! GET HIM!!!

By the time you're dead, that is. Not yet, I'm not quite that inept. Nice try, though.

I (aka Pan) attacked Ulm because Abysia was coming from one side, but also because I had a ton of maneads that were killing my economy. I didn't feel like marching them to the other end of the world, so I thought I'd get them killed off against Ulm.

I've read about the Staff of Storms, but since i'm new to MP, Ulm was the first one to use it on me. I nailed a Wraith Lord (who'm I'm assuming was supposed to Last long enough so that wrathful skies killed all/most of my army), but I still lost some valuable commanders. Next time, they'll be lightning immune.

He attacked my force before I stormed his castle and by killing the right commanders, caused my troops to be left out of the storming of the castle. I ended up storming the castle with 4 commanders and no troops !!!!

I really dislike the "one commander kills any army with wrathful skies/staff of storms" thing. That was actually discouraging.

Pythium (Boron) has attacked me, but all of those former ermor provinces int the south aren't worth much, except for a gem site here and there.

This game has been a lot of fun (although occasionally discouraging -- i.e. a bunch of mages endlessly casting ethereal false horrors. Ah well, you live and learn.)
