Warhammerama - Running

Hmm, intriguing!

Also, I really have to apologise to you rdonj, you've been the most patient opponent in the world while I have been freakishly erratic in my turn-taking. I'm just beginning to come towards the end of my PhD and I'm generally getting more erratic in life - lots of unanswered e-mails, piles of laundry, I'm sure you know the thing. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this game, but I'm sorry you've had to put up with such a frustrating opponent! Thanks for being a good sport.

In other news, reports from the lands of Nehekhara indicate that the locals are being led astray by idols carried by the agents of Itza. By the time patrols arrive, nothing can be found but the occasional hint of a blur of motion in the corner of a soldier's eye.

I'm just going to tell you now, since you're definitely going to kill me before I gain 6 levels in a path with 80 research a turn. I got the idea to use tomb king communions to make lucky, phoenix pyred, soul vortexing, invulnerable communicants to attack into your territory. Hmm, if I used two masters I could get even more buffs. Anyway they'd be pretty tough like that, I think you'd have to work a bit to kill them But I spent too much time researching other paths and marching armies of mages around the map. And then incinerating them.

Well, getting into a second game that was more active helped a lot. That game just got put on hold for half a month though, so I'm going to have a lot of waiting to do now I guess. It's okay llama, this has been a good experience for me. I've learned a bit, validated some of my ideas and got to play around with some things I don't normally get to. You're more of a frustrating opponent in the way you seem to infallibly target my armies with that colossus god of yours! I still haven't gotten over those two turns of death.

Oh, so that's how you managed to keep Dommen down at 2 candles with all my preaching. It really is too bad I killed off every single high priest I had with that fire storm... oh well. It's not as if you have a whole lot to worry about from my patrols anyway... my long, closely matched war for dominance with the ogres left me with somewhat income-plagued lands as he had a penchant for taxing me into oblivion. Plus he managed to take at one point or another just about every province I had. Then came the lizards. Our front is rather more defined than the one I had against sombre was, but I'm still poor and haven't had time to restore the pd to its former levels. Some of my provinces still haven't recovered from the ogre invasion, actually. In any case, for the most part my pd is minimal at best. There are all of three provinces that are even capable of patrolling.

I can see the game quickly drawing toward a close... sombre seems to have gone AI, so the ogres are probably going to be gone soon. And with them gone the lizards will be free to swarm all over my nice clean desert and make a big mess of things. Until then, I dare you to come into my dominion

[rdonj]

Well, hmm! That turn seems to have gone exceptionally poorly for me. Not only did I lose an assassin, but I failed to kill the rather frustrating god, as well. Further annoyingly, it was outside of my dominion so no resurrection I didn't even get a decent affliction on it. Sigh.

And then I had to go and lose 4 provinces in 1 turn. It's about desperation time here in nehekara.

Okay llama, if we were playing mortal kombat right now, my character would be wobbling on his feet and two words would pop up on the screen... FINISH HIM! :P
