MP: ThreeFort - Experimental game - Squirrelloid/Bandar Log wins!

[Valerius]

Well, I think my attacking Bandar has slowed down his reinforcements in the sense that he's got around 500 units and his pretender up in the north. My forces are ... more limited. But hey, I've got still got the Eater of the Dead and I know that terrifies Squirrelloid.

This game didn't go too well for me. In a first while playing Eriu, I didn't go for an E9nx bless (in retrospect I think it would have worked well since the necessary Constr. and Alt. to equip thugs were already researched on turn 1). My flawed plan was to put my cap in 32 and with that, my prophet and my VQ pretender, push my dominion into whomever neighbored me to the south and attack. When the game began and I saw my neighbor was Mictlan (dom 10, maybe 9?) I realized I had a problem. Then I made a really dumb mistake and suicided my pretender and of course Mictlan attacked me.

I chain cast Call of the Winds in order to keep my cap and hold out until I saw what Caelum would do. I was kind of surprised Mictlan didn't take my other provinces and for a long time I was still able to recruit at my other forts. Once Caelum attacked Mictlan I figured he'd withdraw his forces and I'd get a breather to try to get back into the game. Only ... he didn't. In fact, he eventually started attacking my other provinces.

BTW, good job LDiCesare. Even with just one fort left you were still a factor and it meant Caelum and I couldn't just focus on Bandar.

Thanks everyone for playing this experimental game. Comments, negative and positive, are welcome.
