FruitBat - EA newbie game - started

[fantasma]

next turn is delayed by 36 hours to give everyone enough time to send it in.

[ComTrav]

Thanks for the pause, my turn is sent.

[fantasma]

After a fruitless siege Caelum's army decided to move. Meanwhile the druids had not been idle and gathered forces to meet this army led by about thirty eagle kings.

The question is now, where and when will this encounter take place? Who will be victorious?

Meanwhile the raiding and small skirmishes will continue.

I've been sending a few messages to Tien'chi. I expect an answer !

Marverni will be the winner. In almost all categories (provinces, income, gem income, Dominion) he has as much as the rest of us combined. And most especially Research...how many Level 9 Schools does he have at this time?

The next closest rival, T'ien Ch'i, is fighting two foes and just lost a major battle (and his prophet). Pangea's army, the largest, is composed primarily of maenads and will not last against Marverni; he can barely make headway against TC.

I'm happy to continue playing (given my recent victory against TC ) but the winner is very obvious at this time.

[kasnavada]

T'ien Chi is not fighting 2 foes, unless Marveni attacked him already.

Your analysis therefore fails.

Edit :
But, if you wish to abandon ship, please do so. Or, make out a peace treaty with Tien'chi and let us, all three, attack Marveni.

Is Caelum still actively playing? It seems like not. It's really a pity if he through the towel. I was disappointed that he did not do his move and get a very easy victory (battle, decisive maybe, not the war!).

I would not underestimate the pans, or T'ien Ch'i, well I do not, I do not think that the game is over yet. And isn't it about seeing those end game moves really played out even if you are on the receiving end?

How many army of gold/lead, against fog warriors, enslave communions, really outfitted eaters of armies (elemental kings, arch devils, tartarians...) did you see in action yet? I, none, before this game. So, however this game ends, let's have some real action going.

Although it's a hell of a work to move 60+ commanders + gems around.

[kasnavada]

The game is far from being over.

We had a little, hum, manly talk with Tien'chi but nothing major was lost on either side. I'd says that both of us are nearly unharmed from this clash. That clash is my fault alone though, I should have negotiated with words rather than maenads, but Tien'chi retaliated and showed me his worth.

[kasnavada]

Hum and about Caelum. He's been playing slowly in another game I'm playing with him too. He should still here, but he seems to have a rather complicated schedule...

[ComTrav]

It has been finals week for me, so I've been very busy with that, which is why my playing here and Primea has been weird. (Although I didn't realize I had staled, I'm very sorry to everyone here).

I've been losing this war with Marveni for some time, but I knew I either had to attack or wait until he had a lot of high-end stuff. I made a couple of mistakes, though. I didn't counter his Bane Lords aggressively enough; Dust to Dust never seemed to work as well as I hoped, but I could've sent more Harabi into it, and some animists for Maggots, but I waited too long and put too much stock in a pointless siege to try to bring about a large battle. They might've just gotten mind hunted anyway, Marveni certainly made the most of its astral advantage. (Mental note: Play a good astral nation next game.) Now Marveni has Master Enslave, something I have no true counter for. I have to give credit to Marveni for his Fabian tactics, as he avoided my wind guide/flaming arrows/mist warriors/thunderstrike army of doom until he was good and ready.
