Dramatica - A Very Dramatic Game. Game on.

[Baalz]

Oh well, looks like I won't get to use the nasty stuff that I've been building towards *forever* and is just now coming online. The one-two punch of that heavy dominion push was being supported by a bunch of immortals. Vamps, obviously I've got coming out my ears (supported now by darkness, fog warriors, marble warriors and iron bane), but I also stockpiled enough pearls to empower two different liches up to S2 for soul drain + bone griding or soul drain + darkness + neverending skellispam/imps heavy bombers risking just a cap and staff + 2X lifelong protections. Being immortal, seemed like a reasonable investment of 80 pearls apiece - and having nothing but lizard shamans I'd been piling up pearls for awhile. I also had just south of 300 D gems that was intended to be dumped into burden of time a short time before war with Shin along with astral corruption hopefully going up the same turn. I hadn't lined up an efficient way to cast that yet (probably would have ended up alchemizing a bunch of F/W/N gems and empower one of those liches a couple more times in astral then done a bunch of blood empowerings...I was pulling in 100-150 slaves per turn so no problem there). Hmmm, or does one of the Heliophagus have astral magic? I don't remember.

Gah, I had some absolutely abysmal luck very early in this game. My pretender got feebleminded by one (un)lucky mind burn in the final fight with Arco. He was intended to be empowered in blood and be my platform for summoning vamp lords, wraith lords and liches. Ended up having to double empower a D1 dwarf to do that which was very expensive at that point of the game and slowed me down a good bit in getting vamps. I considered suiciding my pretender and hoping when I called him back the feeblemind was healed but I just couldn't bring myself to do it as I just *knew* he'd still be feebleminded after all that. Plus, being dom-10 and stealthy it wasn't totally worthless just to have him sneaking around amazon lands leading into my attack and dom push.
