The land of webs, fortune, and solitude, Fortu's blessed sanctum, has suprisingly been violated, and at such an early stage of this new era. Another nation has dared to assume a simple assassination attempt would go unnoticed, or unpunished (as witnessed by the would be assassin's death). While the lowly nation may not be revealed at this time, Fortu now knows whose lands he covets for his future playground.

I have to be the worst Dom player ever. Having SORELY misjudged the strength of neighboring indies, my beautiful lil' army of 70 or so troops gets wiped by them. Why? you may be asking (while laughing). Because, while I did notice that elephants were amongst their number, they were like, 3rd on the list of units, leaving me to believe that they had perhaps one or two and that the bulk would be militia and slingers.

Boy was I wrong!

I soon found myself against no less than 20 elephants, who proceeded to dance a jolly jig on my heavy troops, city guard, and swamp guard. My wonderous army, smashed into lizard jelly before my disbelieving eyes.

Mmmmm.....jelly.

Anywhos, I thought I would tell everyone, because I'm a masochist and enjoy pain.

Maybe some of you will have a nice laugh at my expense. And that's O.K. as long as someone finds some humor in this sad, sad affair.

You know, you can attack with scouts set on auto-retreat, too, before you turn your troops into jelly...

Indies with elephants should never be underestimated.

lol. I know that now. Hindsight 20/20 and all that.

I share your pain.

Recently, I was rushed and crushed by massed elephants. I was playing LA Ulm and LA Patala was my nemesis.

When I say crushed, I do MEAN crushed, he conquered my capital, 20+ elephants trampled over my dozen black templars, 100+ crossbows/archers (all set to fire at large monsters btw), 30 infantry and 25 PD.

Now thats pain...

Oh yea, Dom 3 just to be cruel and to add insult to injury by giving me a hero the next turn and a free fortress the turn after. All this by turn 13...

Ouch....well atleast it wasn't my capitol is all I can say to that one Meglobob. I can atleast regroup. Just not fun with two nations practically breathing down my neck.

Damn miasma. I knew it would make me a mark, I just hoped to have things up and going before other players came after me. Ah well,that's what I get for saying I'd take any nation at signup

But it did sound pretty cool at the time to spread my dominion quickly and make everyone sick with the lizard-pox.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I took turn #1 slightly inebriated and my rainbow pretender somehow got orders to go attack some indies by himself (I wasn't that bad off, must have been an accidental click). I can probably challenge you for worst start ever...and in the same game.
