Turbocharged AI vs Humanities Last Hope - Running

[endomorphious]

Took province 28, the one with the red dragon, militia, and fairies. What a waste of good meatshields :{ sigh. But, realistically, me being able to charm someone is less likely than Quasimodo trying to score Lady Gaga in a 89 Fiesta.

Will be attacking province 32 next turn. The Southern Toad Tribes are about to become snake food. (I hope) my scripting seemed to do very well against the dragon. The level 4 priest spell word of power(??) hit him several times and then a few soul vortex's and life drains and he went down fairly easily. The only thing was my mage did not cast Darkness as ordered. Very irksome.

I NEEEEED gold. Anyone want to buy some gems for gold? I have spare fire, air, and water. Could scrimp and weasel out some death gems instead of skull mentor. A smattering of nature and earth gems too.

My goal is to march my big god/prophet/mage force up through, 32, 40 (if unowned-can't see it), then siege 55. Mop up left over forces and then focus on Atlantis.

Endomorphious, I will shoot you through some gold this turn.

Bugger on Tien Chi busting the siege. Still I have one and I'm sure Thanatus del Dragos you still have another under siege. I suspect your one will be hit by his god force first.

Nice work! I'm only sad my scout wasn't in position to watch.

Word of power is nice. More than one Soul Vortex? Did you have multiple guys cast it and then run into melee? Soul Vortex is typically used as a thug/SC buffing spell rather than as a killing spell (it works for killing chaff, but doesn't necessarily have much effect on big guys w/ high MR).

You had D gems with the Darkness mage I take it? Was it the first spell that mage was casting (ie. was he at zero fatigue when he would've been casting)? Sometimes the Dom3 spellcasting AI just decides it knows better and won't cast a spell. In the case of darkness it might've happened if you had too many troops present that didn't have DV (I don't know this for a fact; just pulling stuff out of a monkey's nether regions - uhh, yeah. Gross.).

LOL! Nice. Seriously, charming and seducing and whatnot is not easy. As I understand it, you need a whole sack of seducers / charmers all decked out in penetration gear (you play the percentages game by sending a bunch of mages and having 'em spam it), and they still won't succeed against anyone with high enough MR. Mid to high teens is the highest you're likely to succeed on.

/Kailasa scout finds vantage high above the next battlefield and settles in with cold rice and a little rat meat...

Sent what gold I could spare your way. If you can spare some water gems I won't refuse 'em (I can't get enough!), but no worries if you got better uses for 'em.

Thanks for the gold guys. Big help. those sauromancers are greedy little buggers! About time to send em out working for their gold. Their shall be a tide of risen dead drowning the remnants of Niefels dreams. HAH water gems on the way...I've been stockpiling as Ive not researced Cons 6 yet :{ which I will have to do once i finish Alt 8, in like 3 turns. I'm hoping disintegrate is worth the push that high up.
