Yes, well, I TOLD you to get your mermen off my lawn and you didn't listen. Can't say I didn't warn you. I'm also all that's stopping Ulm from having the game completely won, so I was kind of hoping for some backup instead of yet another front to fight on.

Sorry my turns have taken so long, it's a combination of intense micromanagement combined with complete frustration with the AI. Watching my blood hunters kill off all of their blood slaves when a few black hawks show up and then not being able to cast critical spells (or alternately, run away from a scout the PD caught), having my jarls rout because either the crappy PD units or the free skeletal chaff their wraith crown summoned up at the start of the battle got killed off (that's what it's there for! It's SUPPOSED to get in the way and die!), and watching the casters that I have set to cast buffs on my jarls cast it on themselves instead all just make me want to punch my computer. I know it's a problem for everyone (watching Ermor cast raise dead over and over with 0 corpses in the province was amusing, I got lucky there.), but it comes up much more frequently playing as Niefelheim than it has as any other nation I've tried because of the Jarls.

2h file's sent.

I feel your pain. We suggest you just drown all your Jarls, and use independent recruits for the rest of the game.

johnarryn · #**163** April 29th, 2007, 06:42 PM

Yeah, them Jarls are clearly the root of your problems.... I say get rid of em.

i think hes trying to, but the silly guy has waterbreathing rings on them.

you have to take those off first mica

I'd like to see more of this hate directed at Ulm instead of me, since he's actually got a pretty commanding province lead and 2 globals up. Where's the love for the underdog?

Methel · #**166** April 30th, 2007, 06:21 AM

Gone along with my temples i guess

truth be told I see you as a bigger threat than ulm.

Micah · #**167** April 30th, 2007, 06:33 AM

To win the game, or to you right now? Of course I'm a bigger problem for you at the moment, since I'm attacking you, but Ulm's a much more credible threat to win the game at this point, he's got a ridiculous amount of territory.

GameExtremist · #**168** April 30th, 2007, 06:50 AM

Mainly because I had a ridiculous amount of territory...and didn't defend it very well : (.

Btw when's the next turn? It's been a few days?

Micah · #**169** April 30th, 2007, 06:55 AM

No, he was big before he killed you, but that certainly didn't help.

Waiting on him to host from what I'm aware of, he said I was the last file in and I sent it to him 12 hours ago.

Yeah...All my armies were down south fighting Sauromatia, was a bit of a see-saw affair. I had nothing up north besides a score of sauromancers all researching towards Tartarian gate - I was busy empowering one sauromancer to be able cast well. Oh well

One thing I did notice about C'tis (my first time playing them) is that their troops are vulnarable to massed missiles as Sauromatia and Ulm can both employ particularly Ulm who's fire arrows would have devastated my armies if they had of faced them.
