Yep. With Arco's god dead and cursed, we can really get ready to research properly.

The Great Catsby has Spoken.

Default A Public Announcement

The server will be rebooted tomorrow morning shortly after the turn generation (or earlier, if everyone plays their turn today). This will result in a brief outage of around 10 minutes.

I'm Agartha

Tips to everyone that borders Atlantis and Maverni. They are both grinding down my huge forces but in the end I see no way I can survive and I beleive that quite soon they will break through and exterminate me.

If you border either Atlantis or Maverni... beware as I go down they will turn their forces somewhere else... perhaps against you!?!?!?

I just attacked T'ien Ch'i again, only to be met with, at a first count, 13 mages! So obviously I lost again.

I took 4 mages with me, each with level 1 in astral, and a couple of astral pearls, and scripted all of them to do magic duel, in the hope of disposing of some pesky Celestial Masters. Three of them did it and died, and the fourth one did something else.

So, I have a couple of questions - was it just bad luck that I lost all three duels, or did the Catsby do something clever? And why did my fourth mage not do what I told him?

Cheers,

llamabeast

It was probably either bad luck/superior enemy mages that had you losing. Would you like to tell us what sort of magics were employed by both sides?

What do you mean? His mages were Astral 1 also. As for how he killed my army - blade wind, magma bolts, falling frost, acid bolt etc.. Bad things. On the plus side, the Catsby is now horror marked. Is that a very significant thing? How often do horrors attack? He'd probably just blade wind them anyway.

Magic usually targets creatures with more hit points first. Catsby has over 300 hit points, but is himself a pretty serious Astral caster, so your magic duelers targetted him preferentially and then exploded.

As to the Horror Marking, it's pretty obnoxious. Since this is a pre-patch game, Catsby will probably be attacked by Umor the Eater of Gods within 10-20 turns. That means that he'll have to be scripted to casting Returning pretty shortly, which means that he won't be appearing in a lot of future battles.

Public service announcement: The server has been rebooted. Regardless of the apparent "hours until hosting", the next turn may be generated at 10:10 AM Pacific time tomorrow (Monday), which would be the normal generation time. Or, I might forget, and then it will generate according to the server's own timer, which will be somewhere around 4:30 PM.

To Neifelheim,

Anodyr to us was more than just a battle. It was a symbol to our people that no matter how intimidating and powerful, any foe can be conquered. We hold no illusions that we can compete alone against the evil alliance you have forged with Vanheim, but we do hope the battles over the last few months have shown the world that all is not lost and there is still hope.

As our people curse your pretender, and his unscrupulous ascent to power, we do respect your warriors. The giants that fought so bravely in Anodyr had no chance of retreat, and while many tried to flee the field in panic, the true giants of old stayed the course and fought to the bitter end.

All were killed, including the ones who tried to flee. Let it be known that the giants that fought with their last breath will be buried in their frosty halls. Ships have set sail to the south not to make war, but to return the bodies of these brave warriors that we have grown to respect so much.

We recognize that the chances of peace between our two nations is slim to none, and at this very moment you aid Vanheim, by allowing them safe passage through your lands into ours. We have seen the Vanheim war machine first hand, a keep in every province turning out Vans to annihilate the entire world.

We our a people of honor. As was promised, you are now expelled from our rightful lands and the talks of peace can begin if you so wish. We do not know what the future holds, and we can only speculate at the power of the evil force that stirs in the South, but a victory is a victory, and the glimmer of hope has been restored to our people.

Default WORLD WAR

With the attacks on the nation of Oceania by R'yleh and Nifelhiem we have been forced to call all nations to take a side. Will you stand for justice and valor with Oceania and Vanheim or will you go down in history as the weak who slobbered at the feet of the strong?

make your choice...
