hey, just browsing the last few pages to see what happened after I was defeated, and noticed the "claws" chat. It's gat a range of 30, so if you suspect that that spell is going to be in play, you'll have to put all your SCs in the back row and have them sit until the scripts run out. I think you'd be out of range even if the enemy caster is in the front of his side of the field.

[krpeters]

yeah, then his caster is scripted to 5xhold and hopes my guy charges forward to meet his claws once everyone's scripts are out

we'll see how many of my harbringers he can nab, they're a lot cheaper than a typical SC.

I am subbing Marignon and would really appreciate some insight on what is going on, who's with who and whos gonna beat me up.

[momfreeek]

Agartha is full turtle. Everyone else hates Jotunheim and is hellbent on wiping us off the map. Thats about as complex as it gets I think ^^.

[Whollaborg]

I would be mostly interested whos at war with Marignon?

[momfreeek]

Just jotunheim I think. Pangaea and Pythium are both focused on Jotunheim (best ask them though). Ulm & Marignon are definately friends (Jotunheim-Marignon nap was dependant on Jotunheim not attacking Ulm.. till Marignon rudely broke it without warning ofc!).

[krpeters]

BTW, how did we get into this situation of everyone hating Jotenheim? Those Claws are scary. But it's a pain trying to attack him from the opposite side of the board.

Looking at the score graph, it seems like the major action is Jotenheim vs. Marginon. Tien Chi, Ulm, and Agartha are just trying to stay out of the way, and Pythium is raining down random angel death.

Well, Jötnar is an extremely good player and got a good start. We coined alliance with Marignon early on and when negotiations of cooperation between Jotun giants and armor wearing men from Irminsul ended without results we had this small war. Marignon pressured Jotun to leave me alone and then they both just grew. Now, maybe a little bit too late, all hells broken loose.

my memory of events:

Pythium hates me for a couple of reasons:
1. astral corruption (has been up for most of the game)
2. spamming 'horror seed' all over machaka while pythium was invading. was fun watching fights where two horrors would suddenly burst out of a bunch of schmucks and eat the startled zmey ^^
Pythium also broke their NAP without warning. (thats not a complaint)

Ulm hates me cause I tried to bully them into making me items on the cheap (before marignon stepped in)

Tien Chi hates me cause I tried to invade them at their lowest point (but we ended up scrapping with pangaia..)

war with Pangaia escalated.. and was going ok till everyone else piled in.

Marignon.. I think they just figured Jotunheim's time was up (along with general dislike)

I just learned a new lesson today. Angels >> Demons, wow!
