Epic Heroes Mod II(Game Finished)(Lolomo Winner)

[Xietor]

General Tartasis reporting to Bones: Our never defeated army was destroyed my lord. The Tuatha mages cast fog warriors, then the great mother cast earthquakes, while their other mages peppered our troops with orb lighting, petrify, and frozen heart.

Bones: Baalz has feigned weakness it seems. Eriu is far from dead. We will have to pull the remnants of our army back to our lands and regroup. A sound defeat.

Our fears that Atlantis has been aiding Eriu with gems is also confirmed. And more than that it seems they are acting in concert. The foolish undersea dweller does not realize that destroying Eriu, if we are able to finish the task, is a public service.

Atlantis aiding Eriu with gems? Acting in concert? The mind hunters have great penetration, but this must have been quite a desperate shot in the dark.

Panjang proclaims anathema to heretics, those who threaten his abode under the waves, and those who betray him. The concerns of the rest of the landlings interest him not. In fact Eriu's plight concerns him even less, as it is a most fitting punishment for they who were foolhardy enough to venture into the deep seas without Panjang's leave*.

Never fear, the world vs Eriu alliance remains strong. Atlantis is in fact on the very long list of people attacking me and in fact was the first to do so other than the ones I attacked. That battle really only used like 15 gems, just had the right research and it was unexpected.

The song of the Tuatha continues to draw to a close, this was likely the climax as I remain utterly unable to staunch the blood flow. Those who haughtily lay claim to the heartland of Eriu though will find no free meal here.

Baaltz you lost a host of vine shields. there is no way you had that many n gems. Someone is feeding you(or was).

Though you are outnumbered, 3 of the nations are small and/or have new players, and one stale turns a lot and has more interest in taking abysia provinces then taking yours.

But it is always harder to dig out a person in his castles in his dominion. Much easier to defend than attack when it comes to castles.

You had a good battle plan. I actually anticipated the fog warriors, but not the earthquakes. Not much i can do about that with my present research and mage paths anyway.

[Baalz]

Nah, with the exception of one trade partner (who I traded for some nature gems) the most anyone has done to help me is to honor their NAPs. You will, of course, believe what you want but with the epic heroes in play and plenty of time (at this point) to have adjusted themselves every single one of my adversaries is steadily advancing on me, it's pointless to even send out lone thugs with Ermor and Arco very effectively mind hunting me regardless of who's territories I attack, and being attacked by 6 people (7 if the Mictlan AI decides I look like a weak target)...well, my larger armies can only be in a couple places at a time and other than a couple tricks aren't that terribly scary.

I suppose your point is that you believe I'm feigning weakness, I guess I'll take that as a compliment that you fear me despite the terrible position I'm in.

(FYI, I started site searching turn 2 for water/nature sites for exactly this reason)

Bandar Log is crushed, we werent able to defend against the evil empire of marignon. Our great army was shattered without survivors. Raiding parties of the evil empire roam free through our territory.

The people of Bandar Log are leaving their territory, hoping to get asylum in the east in arcoscephale. And the human leaders of the outer parts of the empire are starting to collaborate open with the enemy.

We call on the empires of Atlantis and Arcoscephale to shield as much of our territory from marignon as they can.

Notes to the log.
Communions are no tool for battles, when you see 20 communion slaves die in one turn, then something is quite wrong. (Just 6 masters)

Flaming Arrows are a pain in the arse, does someone know if they can dispel mistform?

Why have rishis always to cast stuff like berserkers and healing

[Agema]

There's a 1% chance of a mistform being cancelled by an attack, and it's automatically cancelled if 25+ points of damage after protec are caused. I think flaming arrows actually cause two attacks (the arrow, then the fire). So that gives them twice as much likelihood of getting a 1% cancelling, as well as the chances that 25 damage may be inflicted on one of the two occasions.

It's possible that the fire and the arrow may be counted together for the damage, in which case 10-12 damage (AP?) plus an AP fire attack has a fair chance of causing 25 damage to unit with average protec in the one attack.

[Xietor]

The Noble race of Arcoscephale will happily accept new citizens from Bandar Log! Peace has existed for ages between our races.

Our Astrologers are not big fans of communions-with a few notable exceptions. Flaming arrows can take down mistform/fog warriors.
