Actually, I doubt 466 militia would do it, even assuming you could deal with the supply.

You know, I didn't even notice that the White Centaurs now had the light lance. I can't look at the game at the moment. Anybody know it's stats?

I did notice that the White Centaur now cost 15 resources instead of 11. That could possibly cause a problem and affect your scale and/or fortress decisions. I know I was burned by resource costs in one game where I took sloth 3 and the watch tower (common choices, at least prior to the scales mod).

But I never thought that Pan was overpowered. As a matter of fact, I thought most people considered Pan to be one of the weaker nations.

No, they are not overpowered, nor underpowered. But white centaurs were just fine without lance. With the lance, they are the best troops Pan can purchase, even with a minor bless. With a major bless, they are nigh on invincible for most nations at this stage of the game.

Yeah, I didn't realize they added a lance to the centaurs. SWEET JESUS!

Pangea may not be overall one of the better races, but the white centaurs were never the problem. I remember fighting Jeffr's centaurs way back in InvisSwarm II, and they were vicious! With a lance, I would have just looked at my computer screen and cried.

Arco's wise scrying priestesses have recently taken notice of large armies of jaguar warriors massing on peaceful Arco's border with the Blood Empire of Mictlan. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon10.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/PointRight.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon12.gif[/img]

The Luminescent Shedu of Arco hopes that the Honorable Blood Emperor is not frowning with growing envy of the wonders found within Pasha's dominion. Surely, our long standing friendship should hold fast during these wicked times of war. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Peace.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Panda.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Peace.gif[/img]

Surely, he has studied his history and knows of a time when a foolish Pangean Fetid Smear of Rotting Filth dared attack his peaceful neighboring Great Spider Lord of Machaka, and was soon smote down to the floor of his own private abyss by the fury of said Spider Lord. <All lies in the press being duly refuted in said history texts studied by said Honorable Blood Emperor.> <froth froth>

BTW - I am not dead yet Though I probably won't last much longer.

Damn, these Jaguar warriors are mean and I have not yet found a way to beat them. Specially with a 9 fire god.

So I am currenly sieged on my home castle, and will fall soon. So - so long and thanks for all the fish.

What's this about the fish!? I'm scared, especially with that grinning visage of yours!
