Oh my Umor, that Devata looks like a can of kick-***. Demon whip, were'd ya get a blood/fire mage to make it?

A map of your conquests would be nice.

The Demon whip I think I mentioned earlier... I either got it as a random event or in a battle.

It turns out quickness effects don't stack, although it took me a few turns to figure that out.

there's a map coming up in a turn or two - I can't go back and take a shot because I'm up at turn 71 now

Ok, I understand.

Turn 61
T'ien Ch'i tried to wrest the city that was once his capital from me this turn; I batted his attack aside contemptuously, and stripped the magical equipment off the dead bodies of his commanders. I now possess a set of plate armour imbued with the power of fire and two large swords designed to fight demons.

Vanheim also attacked Cathedral Gap again, but was beaten off more easily this time.

Balastha the Devata is working his way south to join up my army in T'ien Ch'i's capital. Once he arrives I will divide the army into two and while one guards the capital the other will sweep up T'ien Ch'i's remaining provinces. Then it will be down to just Vanheim and me.

Speaking of Vanheim, his false god is wandering about alone next to my provinces in the west. Unfortunately I do not have any fun remote attacks to throw at him.

That Demon Bane looks like a superb weapon.

By extreme damage, do you know if it's 2X or 3X to demons? Seems strange and "not right" that holy swords (from another thread) do 3X to undead _and_ demons, while demon slayers do just _2X_ to demons. The less specific flag seems like it should do less damage to each, but affect more critters.

I don't know what the specific damage to demons is for the Demon Bane, and I haven't had much of a chance to try it out in this game since neither Vanheim nor T'ien Ch'i is big on summoning demons.

One interesting thing is that there are several spells and items which target demons specifically - which is a very welcome change for all of us terrorized by Ice Devils etc. in Dom II

Thamks for the AARs. Well written and enjoyable. And I'm learning a bit from reading them too! Keep up the great work.

Turn 62
A quiet month: I took over another water province; T'ien Ch'i again tried to take back his city, but it was a feeble attempt.

I am calling another Devata. Dhritiman the Siddha is settling down from site searching in the forest ramparts I took from T'ien Ch'i and will defend the frontier, and in his spare time make amulets of missile protection to protect the Yakshas.

I am giving orders for the Yakshini who holds the frontier to the east of T'ien Ch'i's now conquered capital to advance southwards, even though she has only a small force - I think T'ien Ch'i's resistance is broken.

It seems that of all the heroes in the world, my four trusted lieutenants are the only ones alive: Anuprabha the Yaksha, Guruprasada and Bemra the Yakshinis, and Devasura, who is still a hero even though his is crippled. Sadly Ananda is no longer recognised for the great hero he is, but the good news is that he has developed what is known as a 'third eye' which enables him to see beyond the reaches of his normal sight, and makes him more sensitive to, and therefore resistant to hostile magic.
