Sophistry - (Finished) Winner DrPraetorious!

[DrPraetorious]

I'm making 20 clams and 7 blood stones per turn . I could make more but I can only forge 50 items per turn. I'm wishing for gems every turn, but considering how many I have I may start wishing for Seraphs or Mandahas, but not until my backlog of Niefel Jarls are equipped.

I'm outfitting communions to spam undead mastery and master enslave at huge penetration bonuses. The entire communion is made of Gygja and immune to cold and 75% fire resistant.

I've got a horde of earth mages ready to spam earth attack as soon as any army rears it's ugly head in an unprotected province. If the army isn't entirely fire immune I can follow up with enough flames from heaven to kill half the army right through almost any defenses, so troops are pretty well useless against me.

My main problem right now is organizational - turns take forever and I'm in a bunch of other games.

Also, the server appears to be down.

Is the game over? If so, I'm gonna go ahead and proclaim victory; but I'm happy to keep going if the server comes back up.

I think you are the clear victor. i am happy to have made it to the end game in this my first multi-player game.

Grats Dr.P!
It was fun getting to the endgame, but most of my neighbors AIed so it wasn't exactly hard to gobble up their land.

[Rytek]

Unfortunately I see that in alot of games and the victor is the one who gets to gobble up all of the AI's. I was at war since turn 10 of this game, first C'tiss attacked me. And when the war with C'tiss was over Caelum attacked me. I finally caused Caelum enough pain to offer me peace and negotiate to attack Oceanus (who was the biggest power next to me) then Caelum drops from the map leaving me fighting the second biggest pretender by myself. Once I finally had fended off Oceanus I was too far behind in the build up war even with taking all of Caelums lands.

But-- congrats DrP. Well played. Your giants were unstoppable. I take a morale victory having my pretender with 1724 kills and top of the hall of fame. My pretender single handedly beat back armies from all of my foes with muscle and spells.

[BigDisAwesome]

What kind of pretender did you have anyway? I never got a scout on him.

Post a SS with gear if you don't mind.

It was an awake dom 6 Lady of fortune with S6W4. Just like I suggest in the other forum. A very good pretender for the early-mid and late game. I had to bring her out vs Ctiss because he rushed me with alot of chariots and I went the Heavy infantry/composite bow route to expand. Luckily I had const 4 and Alt 3 researched and the pretender wiped 3 of his armies. Then Caelum attacked with 30+ eagle kings spamming thunder strike so I used my pretender to pin his army. Every time he split off and raided I pounced with my pretender-- Most of those kills are undead chaff killed on the charcoal shield and then later on ghost wolves.
