The rumblings of giants!

From the ancient Chants of Isopherameses, Seventh Divide, Verse Sixteen:

And in the final days of the Ascension
Sorcerous blight shall blanket
Sparing neither teeming groves
Nor fertile swamps
And thousands doth fall
Large and small

And in the final days of the Ascension
The Host is gathered
The heavens covered with wings
The grounds flattened with hooves
And thousands doth march
Large and small

And in the final days of the Ascension
The Sacred Chants are released
That the heavens reverberate
The grounds tremble
And thousands doth call
Large and small

And in the final days of the Ascension
The One is Reborn
Treasures fall from the heavens
Stones crumble to the grounds
And thousands doth bow
Large and small

And thus be the end of the beginning
Of the Third Age of the world

Nice one!

But still....I was really really having a blast with my army of 100 hundred something F9 wind riders with fog warrior cast on them....Talk about a kick *** unit!

Congrats again LoloMo I had no idea who had Abyssia under siege!

[GameExtremist]

Oh and....another game chaps?

[Sensori]

So someone forgot to tell us that his capital was being besieged by a side with 3 VPs, huh?

... Bastard. ;p

[Kydorias]

Ack! Well darn. Very well done LoloMo, congratulations!

I had no idea that Pangea had laid seige to his final VP. Wish I had known.

Regardless, very well played game. I certainly had a lot of fun!

[LoloMo]

Thanks Arcos and Kailasa =)

I actually used Faery Trod to arrive at the Abyssian Capital last turn only. I ferried in like 1000 troops so the walls were breached on the same turn.

I had the Mictlan Capital under my thumb for something like 10 turns, I just didn't storm the castle for fear of everyone suddenly attacking me. When Kailasa sieged the Niefelheim capital, I decided to finally storm Mictlan castle. This had the effect of both of us grabbing the third victory point on the same turn, and of shifting some attention away from me. At the same time all my VPs suddenly got hit with bombs, so I figured it was now or never. I guessed Agartha actually had 3 VPs practically already, and was just delaying taking over his third just like me. So I tried to scare him a little bit by declaring war on him and hoping that he delays any action on the Abysian Capital for a turn or so. Agartha had a legion two steps away last turn, and I'm guessing some teleport or map summons too. I did several suicide attacks on his invading army to hopefully delay his march =)

My concurrent plan was to take the Niefel Capital, which was three steps away from the Mictlan capital where half of all my troops were. I simultaneously attacked those provinces giving me a border with the Niefel Capital. Since most of my troops have map move of 2 and 3, I could have it all sieging the giants in 2 turns. Kailasa beat me to it, but it had the effect of turning off Astral Corruption and allowing as many Pans as I want to faery trod to Abysian Capital.

Sorry, I thought it was quite a neat plan so I'm blowing a little bit of hot air. BTW this is my first MP win =)
