Re: Oh, the horror
Jeffr, dude, you are a bad-*** Pangea player and you are definitely overdue for a victory in one of these games!
About the army that broke the seige: what was preventing you from breaking in were the guardians and the wolves I had summoned with the Soulstone. But, a chunk of the strength of my attack came just a turn before I broke seige. I cast 'legion of wights', summoned more fire snakes, and built that Sword of Aurgermer (I love that thing! It is underrated as a magic item, I think) the turn before I broke seige. A lot of the items my commanders used in that battle came from my main army (love the insta-teleport through labs in this game), and they're going right back there, heh. So, it's not like I had this huge force waiting at my capital for you, most of it was assembled just for that battle. I was fortunate to have my main army on a lab the turn I needed them there. Oh, well, the huge force of smiths has been there the whole game, of course.
One on one (if Boron had stayed out of it, and let's say Jurri didn't attack me either), you would have beat me, definitely. Or at least I couldn't have attacked you, and I imagine your raids would have taken me down eventually. Your 'Gift of Health'ed centaurs are just phenomenally powerful. That is why my main army avoided yours..even if I had won, I would have been decimated. I figured that out when you slaughtered some groups I sent in the beginning.
It's hard being double-teamed. I don't think really anyone can manage it. Well, Jurri did in this game, but being a water power helps because there's only so many places we can attack.
I guess if there is a problem with your strategy, Jeffr, it's that you seem monstrously incredibly powerful and scary, heh. I freaked that you were going to roll over Boron, so I wanted to make peace with Jurri. Jurri's strategy makes him seem less scary than yours does, although you're probably equally powerful.
What was this about the Dome of Flaming Death? Was it supposed to have nuked a mage of mine? I never got a message that it was triggered.. Is there a bug with that spell in one of these mods, maybe?
Anyway, great game, Jeffr! If Boron hadn't been at war with you too, I bet you would have beaten me, or at most I would have been able to fight you to a standstill.
p.s.
One more thing I would like to note is that I believe the elemental summoning spells to have been beefed up a little too much in Zen's spell mod. I love them, but I can't help but think they're too good. For 2 gems, my lvl 2 earth-casting smiths can 'summon earthpower' then cast 'living earth' to summon 4 elementals! I think each one can do that twice per battle, if you give them maybe 4-6 gems each. That's 8 elementals! Maybe it should be like: lesser elemental is 100 fatigue, normal elemental is 150, living earth is 200 or something. Being all at 100 fatigue is really probably too good.
