Abysia is in BIG trouble. Ulm and Caelum have big armies attackign me and now I have Hully's stupid prophet raiding me too. That's a lot of firepower to repel and I am just not up to it.

You should have maybe thought of that before you broke the treaty. My big armies attacking Abydis are, after all, mainly defending and retaking territory I held already before you decided to violate our NAP by launching a sneak attack without warning.

Well, I personnaly don't care, since I will be there. But I raise the subject. I'd hate to see you guys stale a turn for this !

Hi all

Yep Tir na n'Og is STILL in the game, even after Abysia trashed our Capitol.

Doing a bit of raiding against Abysia, what on earth does he expect?

Please remember it's just a game, yeah said that too myself a lot as Ulm gutted me early game lol

Still having fun while I can, Hully the Emperor of Tir nation.

Yeah I expected the Tir/Caelum forces...just not the 300 man Ulm army and 400 man Marverni armies I have in my territory. At least I got rid of most of one of them this turn.

Too bad that Marverni/Ulm war had to end. It made my western border quite peaceful.

I've just realized that Lanka had gone AI. There were great battles between us, and I hope Chris enioyed this game.
Farewell.

Lanka went AI ? arg... I'll have to move in then... sorry to have been nearly useless in the war against tien chi, but he forced me to surrender through slaughtering my troops...

Never play a turn when you have had a bad day and are tired.

Did everything wrong. KNEW an Abysian army was headed back to the Tir capital, but attacked anyway. Slaughter.

The other army was set to Storm Castle. Sent well over half its forces away on 'errands' and the rest just...charged.

NOT a good way to fight Abysians. More slaughter. Except for the 55 Archers who were set on 'Fire and Flee' (they were to raid this turn). THEY got away...

And my Prophet...can anyone tell me why a Prophet would choose to Spam Elementals when he could cast Smite instead? Knocked himself out (only an E1 Mage) and died in the rout.

I had been having him cast Summon Earthpower first but did not since it was 'just' a Storm Castle battle. Had I done that he would have lived, so again, I was too tired to play all the angles.

Did not really think that 80 Abysians would attack 200+ Ulmish troops. Set up properly I could have won the fight. reinselc took a HUGE chance and it paid off handsomely.

I enjoyed the players - but knew from the starting position I was in trouble - and thats not just sour grapes... I commented on it to llama right after startup.

But I wish you all well!

Well Stormcrow I kinda feel like Napoleon in 1815. Prussia/England/Russia played by Caelum/Ulm/Marverni. So I have to attack or just be ground down.

Caelum has about 200 troops and 10-15 mages after me, you HAD about 300-350 troops and Marverni has 400 or so. So I need to win 3 or 4 more lucky battles just to survive. Maybe TC will get big enough with you 3 distracted to become a threat.
