projectiles ftw!
Not sure what I'd do if you had an A9 bless though.
Except shadow blast, but thats a helluva drain of gems

Worthy heros is weird.
I have got a commander of the living pillars... with Autosummon Living Pillar!
I'm playing turmoil 3 luck 3, and Commanders Of the LP are multiheros- worrysome.

BTW, did you know you could get E5 basalt kings? With earthpower and boots= E7?

The odds are painfully slim, but I can get a D5 Sauromancer.
Give them a skull staff and a whatchamacallit skull helmet (someone locked my manual away), and I've got a D7 Sauromancer. If I get even further lucky with twice born, then I'd get a D8 mage. Give them a Sceptre of Dark Regency, and I've got an undead mage with 10 death.

Needless to say, that's so rare I can't base a strategy on it. Besides, what in the world would I do with 10 death magic anyways? Well, I guess I would see how large Shadow Blast's AOE gets.

"The nation of Ctis is suffering a bout of cold weather. This has started a massive migration towards the warmest lands we can find."

Of all my scales, the only one that hasn't seemed to taken root anywhere is my heat. Conveniently enough, I started next to another warm nation who I can attack without worrying about winter rendering my troops impotent. (Coldblooded +1 fatigue in 0, +4 in in cold scale).

I just received a hero as well. She has seven points worth of magic, but they're scattered around somewhat inefficiently. She's powerful enough, but I can get D4 easily, can summon an N3S3 mage (eventually). She will become obsolete, but since I'm a long way from Couatl, she'll be quite nice, for research and forging, if noting else. I may be able to find some particular applications for her if I think about it, but her use isn't immediately obvious.

I really should update my AAR again. Its been over a dozen turns since I last put in an entry, and with the start of my invasion of Abysia, I'll have a lot to write about.

I would like to announce that Caleum has killed the champion of the world, "whats his name" from Yomi, who won the last death match and had that nifty fur of fenris.

Actually, we killed him twice. Since his first form is a demon and his second form is undead I wonder if that means that ritual of rebirth will not work on him? Hope so.

I've been taking luck in a lot of my games recently. I wasn't sure on it's effectiveness in an MP setting, and aside from the dwarven elders the effects haven't been so pronounced. I've got more than you've seen too, so I guess it's something to be pleased with. In SP where you usually have a lot more provinces it's great.

I was in 2 other MP games at the same time as this one and I don't think I won a single battle in both my downfalls. So actually winning one has made it all worth it. It's like shooting ridiculously over par in golf and then getting a birdie on the 18th.

I took turmoil 3 luck three. I have thus far got about 140 gems from events- so many gems, in fact, that I've summoned about eighty claymen for fun.

Agartha- Rigden Jyepo is DOOMED! He has only two options- to flee into Bogus's band, or fight the mighy wrath of Ivan. Needless to say, he will die horribly.

I have just pulled off the most boring, uneventful war ever, against Abysia. I've taken (1) province. Fought (1) battle. And have no immediate plans for any further action.

I remembered the assassins of Abyssia... but realize at the last that I don't have enough spare commanders on the scene.

So I've pretty much lost all momentum, and surprise. Not much else, yet, fortunately. Well, more commanders are on the way.

I've been pretty happy with my one luck (though with Ctis' number of heroes - including one with reanimate dead) I wish I had more. Unlike my misfortune two games, I haven't had swarms of barbarians and knights and troglodytes harassing me. I've had some bad events, but its an all around much more pleasant game. I much prefer luck one to misfortune-order, it seems.

I haven't updated my aar, but thanks to that initial skirmish, I do have some thoughts on what kind of troops to recruit.

I've got three luck, but no heroes have bothered to show yet...bastards.
I like luck for the gems, but I'm thinking growth might've been better, combined with my order scales.

Well, looks like i took the third option. Surprised?

And we'll see whether mighty Tsar Ivan will be so wrathful now, with several horror marks.
Also, i really couldn't believe you would leave another province without PD for my scout to take. Come on, buy at least 1 point everywhere. You already lost two temples to this scout, and now another province...

Oh, and if you'd rather avoid further harm, we can always talk of course... in private
