LeafNosedBat- EA game (upload pretenders)

[Edi]

I did not manage to send that one yet. Like I said, the connection crapped out in midsend. The thing is that I've done the same twice now, first with Niefel and thenwith Tien Chi, set them on AI and my own turn orders were executed just fine despite being sent from the same install and the nation turned AI the same turn (in TC's case it also put up Wrath of God...)

[Psycho]

It's an interesting thing the the first four nations to be defeated are generally considered strong nations - Vanheim, Niefelheim, Lanka and Tien Chi, and that most of the remaining nations are considered to be underdogs.

[Edi]

The reason Vanheim got knocked out early, or one of them anyway, was that he wasn't prepared for a lightning immune SC with awe, high fear and fairly basic equipment. That banged up one of his main armies fairly well and he also got into a two-front war.

[Edi]

Well, it was fun as long as it lasted. I just got owned. In the immortal words of Private Hudson, "Game over, man, game over!"

The turn 45 army size graph should tell everyone everything they need to know. Congrats to Carkaton on wiping me out. There's no bouncing back from that catastrophe. All because of a stupid miscalculation on my part. Oh, well...

So, if anyone is interested, it looks like C'tis is casting legions of wights to build up his armies even though he hardly needs them (didn't need them against me anyway). Right now I'd peg him as more powerful than Abysia and if he manages to take all of my territory, he will be, hands down.

Edi it was nice playing with you. Hope to see you in some other games as well.

[Edi]

I'll be hanging around until the bitter end, there's just nothing I can do to avert it anymore. So, open invitation to grab as much of my provinces as you can. I'm not going to leave C'tis any infra if I can help it...

[Carkaton]

I got lucky that I was able to take on your two armies one at a time with my main army.

You played it very well given the research and gem gap. I was hoping you'd keep quiet while I took your lands, but I guess this is what I get.

Hope to see you in a future game where you can get your revenge.

[Darkstone]

Take care Edi, your strategy was solid, you just were unlucky to be bordering C'tis and me, both of whom were ideally situated.

Better luck in your future games.

[Edi]

Thanks, Darkstone! Not so much caught between you and C'tis but The Sniffler player buggering off with a case of sniffles at his first defeat without saying anything and allowing C'tis to take all of his stuff uncontested. I should have attacked C'tis immediately then and the story would be very different. But what's done is done and that's it.

Well, I'll have my revenge, as you should expect, Carkaton, when you see the next couple of turn reports. If all goes as planned, you're going to have your work cut out for you trying to pry me out, as I intend to dig a deep hole, crawl inside and pull the entrance closed behind me... *evil grin*

Abysia and Kailasa are free to place forging orders as they please and Ulm will try to meet them as much as possible. As long as I have my forts, it's a full on garage sale, but for stuff that requires fire gems I need the materials provided.

Can we delay hosting for 24 hours? I won't be able to play my turn today.
