You put a beating on us both in some battles but didn't pursue your advantage. When you win a big victory, that's your time to get on the offensive.

I thought the same thing about you. After you defeated my northern army in our first battle you could've marched straight to my capital. It took me several turns to get my army to pre-battle strength.

But you are right, i have been too cautious in my approach.

I was waaay too cautious too. Utgard with that bless is well suited for an early rush.

Yeah those woodsmen are pretty scary even at this point in the game. Dealing with them is a very prickly problem.

It was a brutal battle for me. I thought about being aggressive but a) i was out of all gems/blood units. I made the assumption that you have a lab in your fort allowing yourself to get new gems/mages. I would have been forced to attack with any gems. I have watched enough of your fights to patala to see how bad that would be. I have no thugs or SCs and you would have still had a ton of angels.

Just about every mage I had came out of the battle with at least 1 affliction. So I chose to consolidate my large gains b/c even if I won the next fight at 1 fort, I couldn't have taken your capitol.

I'm going to SoDak for a week but am looking for a temporary sub.

I'm wondering if we can't have the timer set to 72 hours for that week, so the sub doesn't have to do as many turns.

I will be leaving June 2nd, and return June 8th.

i am actually more in favor of 72 hours for this game now permanently. need to preserve the marriage.

IH,
Nice of you to say. After about 10 skeletons each they get very tired and very vulnerable.

I was quite surprised how well they did against elephants. I think 8 took out 10 elephants with that bless early on iirc.

You too?

Now repeat after me:
"But I WAS paying attention!"
"Of COURSE I'm interested!"
And that old chestnut:
"I'm just checking my email."

Yep...this game is not conducive to marriage. Explaining why I absolutely have to do this critical turn right now is tough.

in favor of 72 hours too

Anyone else have an opinion? Mine is 72 -- I'm finishing this turn 30 minutes before the deadline!
