VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[Aezeal]

hmmm Jomon's last castle taken without losses always nice.

The majority of my army is insisting on lodging in halbartia castle and have breached the gate there.. as I remember there is hardly anybody home so that should be nice..

I finally know what i did wrong last battles.. it appears the great Aezeal has overestimated the stormpower spell since it has much more demands than other similar spells for other sphere's I assumed incorrectly that one stormpower would work for all my mages on the field (like light of the northern star for astral) so that explains why only 2 mages cast thunderstrike that battle (the one casting stormpower and the one with A3). It has cost me about 3 battles and some dozen galdermen, but now I know how it works . Let everyone (and arco in particular) fear the galdermen.

But there will be some genuine target practice now Í have instructed all galdermen to cast thunderstrike.
My volva (which I'm recruiting mainly atm for research purposes) will be casting soulslay.. the targetting there shouldn't be a problem either...

My estimation: there will be some arco deaths next turn.

Ow and to show I also keep the bigger picture (mictlan vs patala, arco and ulm) in mind while destroying arco: I was wondering what the deeper theory was in giving mictlan more lands instead of taking them (as is usual when invading someone 3 on 1) .. no offence.. just wondering.

PS nice research ulm.

PPS nice list of ... thingies (I wanted to say people but I fear there are some demons in there) in the hall of fame Mictlan.

PPPS can anyone explain why my income went down in the graphs when I've only been taking provinces last turn?

[Zenzei]

Battle plans of Ulm have been made and on next turn we'll see if I can give some headache to Karlem. Btw, Mictlan has them artifacts, I wonder if there's any left when I reach const 8.

Aezeal: Thanks, I'm quite surprised that I've been able to catch everyone even though I was the bottom feeder in research(by a huge margin) not so long time ago.

Yeah, Mictlan's devils have taken the HoF pretty good. Luckily unique summons don't get any heroic abilities.

Maybe you got some unrest events in your old provinces and the new ones have low income? That would explain the income drop, I wouldn't worry about it much though.

[Karlem]

I was just 2 on 1 last turn (Arcos an Patala) this turn Ulm will try to change things in its favour .

Do you like my dudes? they do their work incredibly well . Ask Patala for comments

[Aezeal]

I can't remember any events this turn..

How are the other pplz in the world with thugs..

I've only outfitted one vanjarl semi-decently for the rest I'm relying on galderman/volva and my good troops einheres and skinshifters.

I'm planning to do some summoning the next turns but I've not got much experience with SC or thugging

[Ghill]

I lost every battle except one...I didn't even HIT a single super combatant...I have been reduced to 1/3 of my original territory...and I neglected to stock up on priests for anti-demon work...*whimper*

On the posotive side, you cannot possibly afford to keep all of your SC's attacking me for more than a few turns, and I should be able to defeat your main army with a well placed horde of archers. I hope.

[Zenzei]

Aezeal: Vanjarls make kick *** thugs with a right bless(EN), little equipment and some buffs. If you haven't taken a bless with jarls in mind, little more equipment is needed.

[Karlem]

Ghill, you took 2 provinces and are sieging one of my castles... not so bad considering I begun with a quite better possition. What is true is that probably this wasn't the kind war you expected, but in 3 to 1 I cannot afford to clash armies against armies.

You had some quite nice chasis for thugs with the troll kings, you could have tried to outfit them.that would have been a nasty surprise.

By the wa, who is the voyeur? My last battels have been under some astral windows and I would like to know if they liked them or not

[Aezeal]

Hmm personally I'd throw soulslays on every SC that comes my way.. lol no idea how to deal with them otherwise.

It wasn't me I'd have no idea where to look, but I didn't even know you would know if a astral window was cast either.

have fun you all... let me know what tricks are used, since we should all be nubs but it seems I'm not so updated on tricks as some of us
