Slugfest 3 Finished - Turms wins (playing Arco)

[En Forcer]

It would be interesting to hear what's going on on the other side of the wheel...

[The Panther]

Well, I slaughtered a big pile some carrion wimps and was then utterly slaughtered in turn by a nearly unbeatable Vampire Queen. I am afraid T'ien Ch'i does not have the proper mages to kill a VQ without a lot of research and artifacts that I likely will never achieve with my drain scale. Maybe Arco can kill the VQ a few times with his astral mages and take the Pangaea capitol. I earlier had a serious blow to my fortune when I lost a key national hero (the stealthy guy with [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon45.gif[/img]) because of a turn stale.

I also killed a bunch of Caelum wimps and caused some unrest before he begged me for a peace treaty.

Just to let everybody know, I intend to go [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon13.gif[/img] when I leave for France on June 17 and let my three neighbors take my sorry wastelands [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif[/img] for their own nefarious purposes. Getting a sub is pointless since I have no chance at all with a weak nation in a horrid starting spot.

Nothing has gone my way in this game and I will soon have to relinquish my title of Slugfest Champion [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon09.gif[/img] to some other Pretender.

I saw that battle... that VQ is worth its high price! I'd agree that mind duel is probably the best way to go, with only 3S

[Turms]

I saw that battle too and I really feel sorry for Panther. That was an impressive army.

I have battled the VQ once. She killed some troops, but ultimately got banished by Solar Rays and Dust to Dust casters (actually the last blow was a lowly mind burn). She hasn't attacked again - busy against Tien chi I guess.

Who has this wicked VQ?

[Oversway]

Pan. Boron is using the carrion woods theme. I'm glad I'm not too near him I just have deal with this Jotun Machaka alliance. Personally I think machaka lusts for the cold embrace of those hags.

[The Panther]

Yeah, I wanted to smash Boron and punish him for using the cheesy Vampire Queen. It seems I got punished instead, though I did hurt him enough with my war plus the help from Arco such that Boron probably cannot win the game. Especially with his horrible starting spot, which rivaled mine for patheticness. Tauren's starting spot (Caelum) was equally lousy with Boron and I. The three of us have been fighting pointless battles to at least make the game sort of interesting.

I do expect that the VQ will be 'fixed' in Dominions 3.
