Alright, I just set myself to AI. Good game to Ermor, those Jade Maidens completely bowled me over. I'm actually curious as to what a good counter would have been -- maybe I should have tried creating hordes of militia to surround/protect (and die for) my mages? Something for me to play around with in a test game I guess

Let me know if you figure out

I sort of figured, if you have a strong bless and are lucky enough to find a province that that, it's pretty tough to stop you. I mean, everything has counters, right, but normally strong bless units have a recruitment limit that that lets one circumvent.

I'm not trying to diminish anyone's skill here... luck is always a prt of the game, and part of being a good player I imagine is being able to recognize and take advantage of your own.

p.s. GG Chicanist! Hope to see you around.

Well played Chicanist! You held right until the end and fought bravely. I agree that finding such a province is a great advantage. I love my Jade Maidens and they have turned into my main force. And i love special provinces and the "randomness" they add to the game. I haven't seen anyone else using strong independent troops...i cant be the only one who got amazons, am i?

[Zylithan]

i have lots of nice footmen that i will unleash upon you from my indy provinces. mwa ha ha!

what do you mean all the footmen are on fire?

[carlosib]

Guys, can we make the switch to 48 hour turn hosting? I'm really struggling to make the 24 hour deadline and the game is getting more complicated now that we reach the 40th turn mark.

[llamabeast]

Done. I hope that is okay with everyone else, but I tend to think it's better to err on the side of longer turns if there's a danger of people finding it stressful.

[carlosib]

Thanks Llama. I think so too, it's not fun playing when you are so worried about not staling a turn that you can't plan your strategy carefully.
