Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[Xietor]

Surprisingly,

two of the weakest nations, Shinuyama and Atlantis, are still alive. And I think their Epic Heroes are among the weakest as well.

All of the Big 3 Astral power nations, most especially PYTHIUM, are thriving.

Shinuyama is trying to keep a low profile and not anger any of my powerful neighbors. Our peaceful race merely seeks to record history-not make it.

So other than still being alive, how are things going?

Who's fighting whom?

Ry'leh still kicking? Atlantis still lurking?

When I left Arco was kind of an unknown, didn't know which way he'd jump. Staying put? Did he attack Mict? Agartha? Atlantis?

Same with Agartha, they were looking pretty good as well. Heavy dominion and troops if I remember correctly.

Pythium had some good momentum, did he continue east or turn west?

Didn't know much about Shin.

Hows Mict doing? Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, EA Lanka is still looking for a perm sub in Perpetuality. I'm taking over temporarily till a perm sub is found. Still a strong position, even though there has been a few stales recently. Just shoring up the borders and bulking up to prepare it.

EH Game has hit turn 60.

Pythium is clearly number 1 on the power charts. Angels flying all over, master enslave looking unbeatable. Likely just a matter of time for Pythium to close the books on the rest of us.

Mictlan is fighting the water races. Looks like Mictlan is doing well outside the water. Rlyeh has kicked Mictlan out of the water(i think).

Arcos is just hanging out, as is Agartha. They of course could be powerful as well, but have not seen them in action.

Agartha has potent dominion though, and I would not be surprised to see another dominion kill in the near future. Agatha is also number 1 by a wide margin in research. Umbrals(drain life) 70 hps everywhere.

Pythium attacked Ryleh last turn. So at least 2 of the world powers are fighting.

Atlantis is losing provinces to someone. Likely Ryleh. Not sure though.

[DrPraetorious]

Atlantis is losing provinces to me (Mictlan.)

I didn't handle the war against R'lyeh properly after I took over - I was in the process of retooling my army but his assassinations were taking a serious toll, and with wars against Atlantis and Shinuyama, I couldn'r reinforce.

[Xietor]

Shinuyama? War? Nope, I am just nibbling a few provinces to keep up with the Joneses. Do not mind me.

/whistles innocently.

Dr. P Do you think the Rlyeh Epic Hero needs toned down? That is one of the main heroes I plan to tone down a decent amount.

[DrPraetorious]

Well, on the one hand I didn't know that R'lyeh had so many troops left in his fortress or I would've just gotten out of the water as soon as I took the position. Fighting a war of attrition underwater is a losing proposition.

OTOH, yeah, he was crazy bad-*** and practically turned the war all on his own. As another sea power it wouldn't have been so bad, but as a land power invading a sea power I am forced to use relatively few commanders and I lose their entire complement of troops when they die (no more watebreathing), so it was nasty. Also I had to keep teleporting in astral mages to prevent mindhunting.

Arcos has staled twice in a row. I have pmed Grayz. If no response is received I will either find a sub before next host, or set arcos to AI.

Pretty good race, and had a strong position when GM handed it over. In any event, before next host I will either have heard from grayz that he is doing his turn, will have a sub for Arcos., or it will be set on AI.

But Arcos will not have stale next turn.
