OOC

Actually Shinuyama is a very potent late game power. Playing Shin I won a mp game beating some excellent players playing Pythium, Ryleh, Mictlan, and Agartha(tough late as well). While it was an Epic Heroes game, Dr P killed my Epic Hero early in the game so he was not a factor.

Bane Fire can bring down the mightiest sc, and Shin alone has access to mages at every castle that can cast Bane Fire earth attacks(with boosters), ghosts riders(with boosters). Of course all mages need boosters to cast ghost riders and earth attacks.

Shin's mages are sacred, and benefit from an Earth bless, and their high hps make them immune to seeking arrow. They can spam skellies making them immune to earth attacks. And
even 1 shin mage in a province spamming magna eruption can defeat ghost riders x 2.

Shin's summons can also be quite powerful used in combination with other things.

Shin. also has one of the best pd in the game, especially above 20.

Yes, Shin can be reasonable in the end game as you specified.
However Pythium is much more powerful as you are witnessing now.

Protecting against Ghost Riders and Earth Attacks is hard when you are scripting to defend against 2000 naked women and undead.

Your single Ghost Rider attacks are defeating my 30 PD every time unless I have one Sorcerer in the province. Half of my Sorcerers have been killed already in the past 15-20 turns.

Of course my lack of experience in the end game will probably be the deciding factor.

Yes, Ermor has some dozens of Tartarians now. We use them to tend the fields, and put down unrest in the provinces. The few that have intact brains, we use to research. We would not say that we have a Tartarian host to field though... most of them are cretins.

Wait, did I say I had Tartarians tending the fields? I meant we have barbarians tending the fields. No tartarians at all, nope, none.

Yes, mightly Sulpicious, has won the death match, and is now champion of the world.

You guys really need to take those death matches more seriously. Suplicious is blind and feeble minded. I sent him in there to die, but no one else showed up. He has already stabbed himself with the champion's trident, since he can't tell which end is the pointy end.

Eek! I just accidentally deleted the Caelum turn that had been uploaded .

A thousand apologies, hopefully whoever's playing Caelum right now can upload again (it won't affect the local copy, obviously.)

No worries, so long as it doesn't host before I get home tonight.
