Invisible Swarm 4: started!

[Boron]

Well i personally wouldn't mind ending this game and declaring Turin winner. I don't think that we can stop him but with CB lategame lasts forever because CB fixed many imbalances. But the more balanced dominions is the longer the lategame lasts.

I love CB but it's suited best for Blitzes. Probably i won't play longterm games anymore only special scenario games like Artifacts game and blitzes .

So subjectively i vote for declaring Turin winner

[archaeolept]

its not that it is better suited for blitzes, but that people refuse to set reasonable victory conditions

[jeffr]

Well, we still haven't ganged up on him yet. So far, it's been only Boron and myself, although I think that the others may join in soon. It's probable that Turin can take us all, but shouldn't we see?

In order to combat the drag, maybe we should put this game back on a hosting schedule (48 hour?) and only turn off the hosting schedule if someone requests it? That would speed up the game alot. The first 30 turns or so were very fast paced and interesting

What does everyone think?

[Ygorl]

Sounds good to me. I'm not at all convinced that Turin has the game wrapped up, anyway. Though, sometimes I'm rather blindly optimistic...

[Turin]

Yeah I´m not quite sure about that either. Boron still has his hordes of undead, which are annoying(even though I have ~15 demiliches) and Jeffr seems to always get back into the game with his f9/white centaurs. At least it´s always very costly to crush his armies.

And marignon must have a really huge blood income, not to mention that df marignon is probably the most powerful lategame nation, due to the goetic masters.

I have no idea what ygorl has, but he can´t have that many provinces.

I´m certainly number one in terms of power, with my gem income of ~150/turn, and I have the majority of the elemental royalty + the treelords. As for artifacts, I´m missing some of the really powerful ones, like the soulstone, the sword of augelmer and magebane, but I own pretty much the rest of the important ones.

So I guess I´m about as strong as Jeffr, boron and whollaborg combined, even though I don´t know what Whollaborg has .

ooh i do love goetic masters. they're probably my favorite recruitable blood mage in the game...

fire, 2 blood, random, sacred, fairly cheap - what's not to love?

they make Bloody Mary the ne plus ultra of archdevil rushing.

[Jurri]

No argument there about the goetic masters! The demon jester is also a worthwhile troop.

I wonder how Whollaborg's doing, though, not recalling seeing him posting for a while. Anyway, he's got a very formidable force, so there should still be a chance to stop Turin if you guys give it your all, meager though it may be. I hope your deaths will be slow and gruesome, you gangsters!
