MP: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game Over. Vets defeat Noobs.

Well, I thought about locking down three caps, had the mages for that. Rdonj put Caelum high on the priority list but I used them against whoever was most scary at the moment, but Caelum would have been next.
But I lacked the bloodslaves through almost all of the game.
When I started it I had two bloodhunting provinces, and with the continous rituals I had trouble expanding it. By the time I could have thought about the third the casts were ineffective against Hinnom and Abysia and Lanka were going down so I focused on blood summons instead.
Kind of surprising that Niefel almost despaired, he seemed never to run out of Jarls.

I have high hopes for being able to devote more attention to Noobs vs. Vets III over the summer when I'm not in final exams crunch mode. In the latter half of this game, I ended up staling a few turns and not being able to devote myself to planning and talking to my team. Sorry about that, all.

One of the biggest things I learned: I really don't like Agartha.

Yeah open the forum up. This game is over - half the people are just staling out.

[rdonj]

Well, as there seems to be a general call to do so and 2 of the remaining players have said it's okay, I am going to open up the forum. It won't be nearly as interesting a read as yours was for the most part though, as I said the noobs were much less organized this game.

Alright, it's open for viewing now. Linky http://teamnoob.forumotion.net/noobs...ii-archive-f5/

Those who shine last shine brightest! But there's nothing left to shine on.

Anyway, nice SC, I was quite shocked when I watched the first rounds of the battle.

Haha, learned something myself: second shape protects against Aegis/Gorgon effect.

Well wouldn't have done that if this wasn't over already. Have fun with boots of the planes, now is your time to shine. ;p

[Lingchih]

yeah, I'm done. Just staling now. Those who want to can continue the war.

I would suggest shutting it down though. It's time to move on. So, Mysterio never appeared. He was just a master druid anyway.

I finally read through the noob forum. There's some interesting stuff in there, and some wildly wrong hypotheses. I think this was my favorite:

Darloth:
"I think counter-thugging is the only effective strategy against these fire resistant ice immune regenerating beserk fire shielded magic weapon wielding armour piercing holy avenged cold aura emitting niefel jarls."

LOL. You eventually figured out how to kill them though, didn't you Darloth?

Thanks for the game. Was fun.

[Ironhawk]

Yep, thanks for hosting!
