MP game: Nations at War. Started!

[CUnknown]

Hey, who cast 'Ashen Angel' on me this turn??

Jurri you're pushing your luck, punk!

[Jurri]

What, I did not! Why would I have? It's either jeffr trying to prod you into attacking me, or some special effect. Tartarian Chains attract Ashen Angels, at least, and perhaps some other stuff too, can't remember. Could that be the cause?

[CUnknown]

What? Um....no....why, uh...that..couldn't possibly be the cause. Hmm.

[jeffr]

Well, it certainly wasn't me casting Ashen Angel. I just tried to connect to the server, but it's down.

[CUnknown]

Try again, Jeffr, my internet's been going on and off lately.

It's obviously up now.

[jeffr]

I was able to connect and do my turn.

I really thought that this time I would take the fort at the Yellow Mountains. Nope. The Soulstone of the Wolves now takes its place on the Sh*t List.

Man, I'm being taught a lesson in how you don't need an army to win. Just a bunch of well equiped Super Combatants and Ghost Riders do the trick. You don't seem to need much else. Maybe throw in some wolves and hawks to take forts. Why build an army at all? Spend the money on castles instead. The only Giants I'm seeing are the province defense. Otherwise, I feel like I'm fighting the undead.

But it's been fun (even the wolf stone was cool)

[CUnknown]

I hear ya, Jeffr.

Yes, the Soulstone of the Wolves is f*cking incredible.

Um...well, your centaurs are pretty amazing, too. I think they are worth building. But, castles are very important, too. This is what people complain about in this game, armies don't always get the job done. Although, I'm guessing Jurri would love to have an army, if given the option. He's just spending his cash on other things.

This whole game was an attempt to make armies worthwhile. I think it's pretty much succeeded: It's not by accident that the last three survivors are strong early game factions: Ulm, Pangea, and Jotunheim. All the strong late game wussy magic factions died off, hehe. Your army, for example, was just about unstoppable earlier in the game. Now it's still good, but stoppable.

And, oh, Jurri--we are at war as of now. I'm pretty sure Jeffr and I can stop you together.
