Huh? For some weird reason none of my orders from last turn got carried out. My armies didn't move, my searchers didn't search, my recruitement never happened...

blegh, this sucks :-(

Man, that's pretty annoying. Would you like me to miss my next go? So long as you don't attack me!

Nah, not your fault... just do your thing.

And then, if you win, I'll never admit it was a legit win, and claim you only could beat me cause the computer screwed me over

Aaargh Agartha, I can't believe you beat me!

So, for those of you who aren't Agartha - I broke the walls on his capital, and attacked. He didn't have many men really, so it looked like an easy victory - but somehow I lost! I think what happened (do you think the same Cerlin?) was that my legionaries couldn't fight properly because it was dark (I hadn't realised it was dark). So they just clogged up the gateway while Agartha's 8-or-so priests systematically banished the rest of my army. Grrr. Next time Cerlin... next time.

I actually had a scout there...

My assesion of the situation when I saw the armies arrayed at the start was that he stood a rather decent chance to beat you (unless you pulled some nasty magical trick), partly, as you said, because of the darkness, but also because of those tough prot 22, unbreakable statues (and somewhat less tough, but equally unbreakable claymen) that would have you standing in the gateway forever, while the castle arrows and spells rained down upon you.

(note, btw, that those statues didn't have darkvision either - they should have imho, but anyways - so between your troups and them darkness didn't matter much. The couple of men Agartha had did benefit form it though, and probably lasted a bit longer and killed a bit more because of it.)

Haha that was an AWESOME last stand! I was trying to to summon as many troops as possible. That damned spell that steals sacreds was horrid tho, really hurt my numberes in all the battles. I was hoping that it would at least kill one army, thats the best I could hope for this late in the game. It was good learning for the future, I've never had such a good battle for a fort as agartha. I think the reason is most random maps do not have Mountain provences, which are the requirement for cave forts.

I thought Agartha automatically got a Cave fort...
