Invisible Swarm III: over

"The retreat bug: considering that there was also the discrepancy in the playback, is it possible that you are running an older version and playing your turns using the selfsame version and thus not seeing it? A lot of my tactics involve retreat, so I'd like this fixed, if possible"

How can I fix it? I'm running 2.16, what version are you running?

Jurri, all I can say is that I am losing more provinces to you a turn than my army is taking. One army can't beat you, you have too many SCs that are viable on their own.

Pasha--if you don't agree to help in the war, you have to at least give me access to Jurri's other land provinces. I need province 54 from you, please?

I guess it's some re-occuring weirdness, then, with the retreat-bug. Oh, well, I'll just have to live with it.

I count at least 4 perfectly capable armies (one of 'em underwater) which is on par with my numbers of SCs. (Speaking of, how do you like them gargoyles? I think they are very good, but damn hard to make and expensive.) And of course a totally ridiculous amount of wolves! (Just how many do you have? Well over a thousand, surely.)

I love the SC gargoyles! I copied you, I made an SC gargoyle in Faerun. Great idea!

SC gargoyles?

Gargoyles that have been Gift of Reasoned. They rock! Their natural protection is like 24, so you can get over 30 easy with some armor. They're mindless, they fly.. they just rule. Only 10 earth gems, then another what..20? nature for the Gift of Reason. Not a bad deal at all, imo. I am totally stealing that idea in the future. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Check out SC abominations and juggernauts

Don't the abominations and juggernauts seriously lack slottage? Otherwise they'd be great! The same with Tarrasques, although Nature gems are precious.

The gargoyles are also lifeless, which is a great bonus if life-drain weapons are available... On the other hand I've fitted the Monolith armor on one three times already only to realize that no, it won't regenerate

They do require rare mages to make (or maybe that's only a twisted perception based on what nations I've played), but I guess Vanheim would have no trouble if druids are to be found.

I wonder where I copied the idea... Must have been the SC competition a while back.
