Thanks Solo. That was my last hurrah though, and it failed. Only a scant handful of Jarls left, and not enough money to buy any more. And you've overrun me on several fronts. I might continue a few more turns... or I might go AI. I'll decide later tonite.

Smaug was scripted to keep casting earthquake, btw, but he decided to use up all of his earth gems to cast just one time without any fatigue. I'm not sure how to stop him from doing that.

OK. I've decided to play a few more turns. It's just too much fun battling Atlantis... even though I don't have much left to battle with.

But you know... Niefel Giants don't die easily. And we fight to the last Giant. And Smaug is extremely pissed off right now.

Niefelheim is also tremendous fun to fight against, but Giants are getting hard to locate now. Even so, I've decided to play a few more turns, too.

Smaug should learn to control his temper during the heat of battle. Anger clouds the judgement and this can result in poor decisions.

"Even so, I've decided to play a few more turns, too."

You were thinking of leaving the game as well? I didn't realize that.

As I understand it spellcasters can only use at most one more than the required number of gems for a spell. So you can take that into account. No way of stopping them doing that, annoyingly.

Well, if Niefelheim is vanquished, Pangaea admits defeat, and then you set yourself to AI, why continue?

Well, even if i don't think i'll win this game it doesnt mean it has lost it's fun at all. I think i can still influence the outcome of this game some way.
I dont think Ulm is going AI, in fact i think he's the future winner of this game.

CUnknown · #**188** September 21st, 2007, 07:16 PM

Oh! Yeah.. When you said you might leave the game, I thought that meant you were surrendering to me.

There's no way I'm giving up when I'm so close to victory!

Lingchih · #**189** September 25th, 2007, 12:02 AM

Niefelheim is going AI next turn unless someone needs me to stay in the game for some reason. No Jarls left, and I can't even afford the upkeep on my useless lesser giant armies.

It was great fun though... the longest game I've ever played in MP (except for Perpetuality, I guess, where I am still a bit player). I learned a lot in this game that I can hopefully apply to future games.

Good luck to all left.

It was fun, Lingchih! Hope to see you around in future games.
