OUCH!!!! and more OUCH!!!

Three fire storms, 5 earth attacks, 3 ashen angels, lots of Tartarians, a bunch of astral probing/attacks. Nasty, Nasty, Nasty!

Forget for a moment the shear gem cost, which is huge, T'ien Ch'i has demonstrated that it has a large number of high level mages in various paths (perhaps all the elemental royalty and some demi liches?).

Round 2 is shaping up to be just plain ugly. All these remote attacks managed to take out some of our top leaders. I am afraid our northern force is irreparably damaged. The end is near.

Ok, these turns are now marathons to finish.. way to much Micro. Ouch is right, for the results I way overpaid. Really could use a few discount sites End is near my buttocks, I got slapped around completely last round. All my nice little spell combos pretty much fizzled and not getting your god is gonna hurt this time.

Not to mention you have 2 other huge armies and another moderate force on the way. The plan was to take your sparsely populated capital, and then combine armies and sweep the heathens from north to south. I'm about 8 turns and about a billion gems behind plan...plus the matter of a few hundred quality troops. Damn discouraging.

Be that as it may, forge isn't doing us much good right now. If anyone wants some items forged, let me know. 1/2 off almost all items, i'll just take profit in the hammer reduction. We're pretty tapped on a few types of gems, so even buying them for cash.

#$^%&$%$%#

Ok, now its just frustrating... that bottleneck sucks.

And Arnvid's a lucky bugger, same with that darnvge(?) guy. Is Arnvid's MR like 30 or am I just repeatedly unlucky? I just want the dead to get their vengeance, is that wrong?

Never tried to siege a prepared MP player (little MP experience)...is this the way it always is with sieging Nief or are you just playing well and getting lucky?

I will say that the little green sacred TC guys are surprisingly effective for cost. The resistences are huge with all the battlefield spells flying.

Round 3

HAHHAHAHA!!

I'm out now as Abysia, but enjoy reading the battle reports.

As was prophesied some months ago, T'ien Ch'i is a breath away from securing the Niefel capital. The Giants held out as long as possible in the face of overwhelming odds. But the end result has never been in doubt.

Our empire is broken and the cause is lost. Bob the boulder will do the unlucky world a favor and dispatch another 1-200 T'ien Ch'i thugs, then it is lights out. The Giants will be going to the great AI in the sky in the very near future.

[jutetrea]

You'll go AI after losing your capital? I only have like 10% of your provinces?

[Saint_Dude]

There is just nothing left that can stand up to the T'ien Ch'i horde. My only other formidable army is in the far south, many months away. It is inevitable that the Niefel empire will be ground to dust in the coming months.

From here on out I am just playing the part of spoiler. There is no way that Niefel will ever rise again. I can try to see to it that Mictlan wins (by continuing to punish and delay T'ien Ch'i), but considering how I have already done much of their heavy lifting, I am not really inclined to do any more. I can also amuse myself by killing off the monkey people, but that is hardly sport.
