Heh, for some reason I tend to like the nations that "everyone" considers underpowered. I think MA Ulm and EA R'yleh can be real powerhouses if you're clever about compensating for their obvious weaknesses, and I'm doing quite well with MA Atlantis in Evermore. With MA Mictlan's new face lift I can't think of anybody I consider really uncompetitive.

MA Bandar Log VS. MA Man. I need a little work on my pretender and you'll probably want to work on your white monkey bless.

I'll be able to play you tommorrow. Send me information on how to connect. I would prefer a 35 province rectangular map, but don't want to spend the time to make one.

So you have given up on playing ulm against the monkeys ? Thought you said it would be so very easy just yesterday.

I assumed we would just be using a premade/randomly generated map.
Tomorrow sounds fine.

Guys, guys.

Let him respond to the underlying problem with his statement before you offer anything else.

IOW, stop feeding the troll until he stops acting like one.

MA Ulm won a game, I believe a newby game where the players didn't understand the magic system well enough to kill him.

But Ulm PD is indeed bad. But not nearly as bad as the Monkey PD. The key problem with the monkey PD is you don't even need to hit them. As long as you can survive the Monkey's minor damage long enough the deviated arrow damage will kill enough Markata to route them. At that point 1 or 2 more monkey deaths will take the entire PD below 1/2. This will force the entire PD to make a morale check every turn. You'll hit the 75% point pretty soon.
