[PBEM game] Entwined Destiny (Over)

[alexti]

Overall, the nations picks were not what I expected at all:

I'm really surprised that nobody wanted to pick Caelum and Vanheim. Especially considering that the map could have been Theater of War, where Caelum could have probably been playing alone

Then, why Caelumites didn't choose Machaka as a pair? Not that Caelum + Arcoscephale is weak or anything, but how one would counter Caelum + Machaka? Machaka takes red dragon fire-9 and expands like crazy with their spider using Caelum's spare gold, who just keep buying seraphs and researching. By the time somebody can field against spiders (early on even pretenders has trouble dealing with spiders), Caelum's seraphs will start dropping all over the place with lightining and false horrors. Ermor/C'tis could try undead spam vs spiders, but unfortunately for them, Machaka's best squad leaders are priests

Interestingly, that despite of all air-hype, 3 pairs didn't choose air nations at all (unless Marignon will be conqueror's of the sea). Being last I didn't expect to get Vanheim.

Meanwhile, who deserves a point for style?
I nominate
- Rise and Fall (Ermor and Pythium)
- When the Winter comes... (Vanheim and Jotunheim)

Comon me and Boron deserve a lot of credit...we had first pick and we chose PANGAEA LMFAO!!!!

We did a huge gamble in hopes that nobody was insane enough to pick ermor but Pasha unfortunately is lmfao. Now we have to make due of the situation and hope not to die swiftly lol.

Yeah lol .
I really wonder which themes the Mighty Spider Lord and his companion choose .

Imo you would have roxxored though if you picked just Pythium + Abysia and we could have had our unholy alliance

Are you suggesting a trade? Would that be permitted? Hee hee. (Probably would be against the rules.)

I wouldn't mind a trade yeah .

On the other hand i am tensed to see if i can do anything with pan . Never played them so far and always rated them in my own nation ranking among 5 worst nations but i will see now if this is really true or if pan is not as bad as i think

There's always Broken Empire Ermor Then you can have hordes of undead spreading growth and order everywhere like me in King of the Hill

> Rise and Fall (Ermor and Pythium)
> When the Winter comes... (Vanheim and Jotunheim)

But only if you guys start fighting each other on turn one. Jotun and Vanir are bitter enemies, just like Pythium and Ermor.

We are not too happy with our race selection. Especially now that I know could have had my Vanheim, had Peter not thought that if it had not gotten picked by four teams, team six would pass it as well. I have played Arcocephales exactly once and Caelum is slow starter; I am not sure that we will be able to easily stop a uber-bless team.

But this game promises to be very interesting, that's for sure. I just wish there was no diplomacy.
