I wouldn't mind it either way, it's been five months and I feel like I've learned enough from this game, ya know?

Although I'm kinda surprised you're giving up early, can't Sauromatia cast spells like disintegrate or just spam those poison archers whose poison will always apply on armor hits? (I read that in a thread somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up.)

I'm just recognizing that it's over and has been for some time.

Nobody did anything when he cast Arcane Nexus. That is where the game really ended.

As for those poison archers--I've got some pretty good scouting of the battle area and I've seen how abysmally Sauromantia's forces have been performing.

I also have provinces next to his capital (his capital is coastal) and thus see something of what he's summoning there.

He's simply going to march over the rest of the world. From what I can see of the world I would say my army would fare best against his SC's but that doesn't matter--there's no way I could hold my territory, he would just cut off my income and my forces would desert. He doesn't even need to do this, my dominion is being squeezed out as it stands.

I did try to dispel the nexus twice, the most recent attempt I used 130 astral gems and failed. With Kailasa's gem income, even if I could dispel it it no doubt would have went back up in no time. There was little point in trying again so I didn't.

Spells like disintegrate (mr check) would have to be spammed like mad to penetrate the mr of the rudras and the seraphs. Ghost rider spamming worked well against the rudra's, but there are too many Seraphs, and I've had no luck taking them down.

This turn it looks like I've lost half of my total army, my cap will be captured within a couple of turns. Too little, too late, did I commence hostilities against Kailasa (I actually didn't realize he had the nexus up, until I chatted with Niefel).

Without question Kailasa has won.

Bon jeux Yandav!

Nifelheim will not rule the world this time.

All players agreed (more or less) that Kailasa is winning the game. I'm going to declare the game as finished, but if someone does not agree we can discuss the matter. I will wait until Saturday and then we can begin with congratulations for Yandav.

I have seen several hundred pearls worth of seraphs, I'm sure there is plenty behind that nexus.

I suspect the only way to take it down is to kill it's caster which I assume is his pretender.

I think I could pull that off by wishing for him but that would do nothing about the SC's already running about and I'm sure he could be called back quickly.

I don't think you can wish for my pretender. You could only wish for an other Oracle. Can someone confirm this?

[Zoshan]

He would just get another Oracle but not your pretender.

I thought if you wished for a pretender *BY NAME* the guy shows up but doesn't change sides. Do it in a province where you have a lot of firepower and he's dead unless he's scripted to teleport out or something.

The game is officially finished. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Checkered.gif[/img]

Congratulations Yandav!

Thanks everyone for the good game.
I hope you enjoyed it as I did.
