Sorry, had to implement a 24 hour delay. For my own selfish reasons. Staff been cut at work, floorspace been cut. I've been lifting and moving stuff most of the day. For an out of shape desk jockeey like me... Well, all that stuff is nearly done, at least till the next unpleasant surprise.

Argatha Attacks!

The evil denizens of the underworld dismiss our overtures and assault our lightly defended province. I thought the Imperial Legions might hold their own, but alas not on this day.

Why should the imperal legions be able to stop agartha?

Why should the legions stop agartha?

I just reasoned that as infantry go, Ermorian and Pythian legions are superior to most "regular" infantry. Granted blindfighters are not "regular infantry" however I had a small numerical advantage, which for a moment I hoped would help give me an edge.

Admittedly I have little experience with the Late Age. I did not intend to dis the ability of Agarthian troops with which I am not particularly familiar.

"LazyPerfectionist here is your chance to educate us on Agarthian troops."

Well, the danger to you is not so big, as vaettiheim just conquered my capital.

As vaettiheim also destroyed my army by accident before, im feeling very death.

What kind of troops were involved? Any support magic? Did blessing take place?

Blessing is pretty inexpensive, and could account for a decisive advantage. Blindfighters are sacred.

If the Blindfighters were facing Limitanes, the reason for defeat is obvious once you realize that Blindfighters have a 15+DRN damage roll versus Pythium's 14+DRN protection, and Limitanes have a 16+DRN damage roll versus Agartha's 20+DRN protection.

The elites of Pythium would be a bit trickier though.

I've not been able to get ahold of Mictlan/Dedas or the master password, unfortunately.

I'm considering turning off quickhosting and switching to a 48 hour schedule. For now, I'm just throwing the idea out there.

wouldn't that just delay the game even more?

The battle is actually just my force fighting his oversized PD backed up by a mage casting combustion on my blindfighters.

The Blindfighters where E10 Blessed, so they had armor 24 and only 5 encumbrance. (i think without E bless blindfigthers are completely useless).
