Power of the eye - now on 48 Quickhost

Yes, thanks for hosting, Griffin, and good game by all others.

I don't remember my scales (I'm at work currently), but I have a hard time taking any negative scales, I usually take heat or cold 1, and that's it. Yet I see all players taking Order 3 Sloth 3 or some other combo of 3s. And I just have a hard time wanting to play those scales. I've tried them in SP, but maybe not the right combo. And I definitely did not have a bless strategy, that's my next goal, going for a strong bless strategy.

If you didn't guess/know already, I did dispel your Arcane Nexus. I think I dispeled one other of yours also. It just drove me nuts that when you got Arcane Nexus up, everything I was forging/casting was giving you gem income, and I hated that. So I saved up some astral, and got lucky and dispeled it the first time.

I can't wait to see your turn file, just to see your army. I've never fought pyth, so the communion guys was driving me nuts on trying to figure out how to best counter them. And your battles with R'lyeh were fun to watch, I don't believe I had any big battles like that (that I won, at least).

And I did the same thing on my first few MP games, using the same password. Doh!

if you want to try a bless strategy go with the reliable e9 n9 neifel jarls or the fragile and deadly f9+s/a9 flagelants. both are solid and also coem with nations with good units/mages

Shmonk, Now that the password is (and will) not used anymore I can attach the turn files.
Password is 040776

For some reason I can not find the starting turns but turn 57 until the end are attached.

e9 n9 neifel jarls

These would be great troops but you arn't going to be able to afford very many... a dual bless eats up scales like crazy, and there arn't any cheap (like an immobile) with earth and nature. Would you use the earth mother?

Thanks!! I will check them out tonight. I take it you were using the same password in the RAND game (just reading the thread on that).

i usually do use great mother, but sometimes i go with a n9 e6 master druid (or even great mother) because your scales can be more forgiving (the e9n9 bless is amazing to make sc's out of neifels units because they have build in regen, reinvig and berserk (which means you can use them in groups because if they go berserk then it dosnt matter if one dies)
