Rico

YOU CAST WILD HUNT! Oh no you didn't.

You deserve some kind of award, I have never heard of that being used in multiplayer. Very cool. And very bad for the rest of us, because obviously you are rolling the gems.

I had some better options, I agree.. But I just liked to see it used for once :-) And curiosity doesn't kill snakes, just cats.

and you know, it actually killed a priest! Ok, the cheapest there is, but it's DEAD now!

I tried it in single player a few times, but it never lasted more than one turn...

I'd also love to cast The Kindly Ones, but I don't have the paths... Never seen it in action.

I recently cast Kindly Ones In a SP. I was shocked to find they they will kill your commanders at roughly an equal rate as everyone elses. I was like WTF!?

Kindly Ones is only advisable if you have no blood mages, and even then they will attack random commanders. The Kindly Ones themselves are total badasses and can challenge thugs easily.

Arco and Aby - are you guys still kicking?

I see no way Atlantis can come back vs. the gems/gold of Sauro. I'd be willing to give Rico the win.

Oceania backstabbing me sucked...my capital has been under siege forever... no idea why the ai isn't breaking through. I've got 1 guy in it vs his 140 or so.

By the way, lord of the hunt has been annoying.. I had very few priest to start and now have 0.

This game was actually good though, my first time playing MP and I learned a lot from it. Mostly what "not" to do.

My gawd yall started this game in January and it's now almost July?!!! How long do these games take? A lifetime? lol

Yeah, I have no hope of winning. I can beat back storming of my castle forever, But that is pretty futile. I am also willing to give the win to RicoRico. He certainly deserves it. He fought off Abysia, Pangaea, Arco all at once and eventually engaged every nation on the map.

If Abysia(Cupido2) concedes we have a winner.

:-)

But still I'd really like to play for 2 or 3 more turns and see the final battle in Arcoscephale, for the fun of it.. Probably not much work for you to play a turn currently ;-) .. Really curious if you can beat what's coming to you this time.
I think I will have won the game in 3 turns anyway even without Arcoscephale.

You could ofcourse have Abysia & Atlantis put to AI if they don't have the patience anymore, and you wait for my last castle storming, Cor?

It is too bad indeed that Oceania AI attacked Atlantis. I would also be curious to see Atlantis SC pretender in action against one of my bigger armies..

I decided not to go strongly for magic at all this game, even though it had such high site rating to start with. Just build expensive elite units that stay alive long so the investments don't go to waste and expand fast and aggressively to the economic strongpoints: the plains with rivers. With my high income, I could speed up research once I had some extra fortresses.
I also learned a lot this game. Especially about the power of some higher level spells such as Fire Storm, massing elemental summonings and communions. Phew!
By the way, my globals really weren't cast that strongly, but no one seemed to want to try and dispel them. Dispelling does not seem to be tried a lot in other games as well. Nobody wants to risk losing their precious pearls I suppose?
