Thanks! It somehow didnt delay!

[Mightypeon]

it delayed it now but did so twice

[RonD]

So long as quickhost is on - and everyone puts their turn in as soon as they can - we shouldn't have to wait any longer than it takes Pythium to recover from their hangover.

[Mightypeon]

That is the plan indeed.
I am anxiously awaiting the next turn, as the war of Mictlanese liberation (I believe the Pythium/Tien Chi alliance calls it something else) may beginn entering its decisive phase soon.

[Mightypeon]

extended for 12 hours because Ctis seems to be missing.

[RonD]

I realize you have good intentions and that I might be biased because I am fighting C'Tis - but the turn already got extended by 24 plus an accidental extra 24 hours, so its not like he hasn't had a chance.

As for the bias - C'Tiss is down to a handful of provinces, and I am certain that I wouldn't do anything different even if I expected him to stale. Indeed, I will pm him a reminder to take his turn.

Thanks for the extension, though I agree with RonD that it really wasn't necessary. If it looks like I'm going to stale again, just let it go.

[Mightypeon]

Feedback wise, I hereby make the claim that Rose Ulms "Enigma of steel" spell is overpowered or close to overpowered for its magic level.
I believe Pythium would be inclined to agree.

Both battles still were quite bloody, but the combination of my onbattlespells, the battlefield wide spells partial to Rose Ulm and the fact that Iron Blizzard does not cost much fatigue propably won it for me, even though Pythium extracted a heavy toll from my infantry with its magics.

However, Karl Marx the liberator of Ebys is costing nearly a 100 gems with his gear (although a more economic use would cost about 60, 50 with ulm forge reductions), which is not that far away from an early SC. However, I think that he had a greater impact on the battle then a gem equivalent Iron angel would have had, especially considering that Pythiums communion propably would have zapped a flying SC.

We also note the ability of drain magic to send people straight into framerate hell.

Pulled out a 48 holiday extension.

Merry Christmas everyone!
