Wow! Quite the leap in VPs there - congratulations sent indeed.

nice one....

Thanks,

I would have gotten 12 victory points with conventional armies this turn anyways. I just decided to take no chances being so close to victory.

Would anyone like to comment the game? What was your situation?

I know of Caelum pretty well, having been in war with him for the last 15 turns. Caelum scored a small victory in the last turn by defending Abysia's capital.

Seems C'tis was doing very good in the north. Winning against Jotunheim maybe? Was Machaka involved in any wars?

But what was Atlantis planning? He must have tons of gems from Arcane Nexus. Why not attack Abysia or R'lyeh?

I had a pretty easy game most of the time. The only really frightening situation was when Caelum suddenly started taking Abysia's provinces very fast. Good thing I was already planning an attack there.

I guess this game was a slight disappointment because so many players either went AI or just staled. A slow game like this would have been very nice otherwise.

I was still trying to research wish... having been an utter newbie when this game started I had hardly researched anything. Had I gotten wish I probably would have got some doom horrors to harass your home teritory, having seen your domination through the Eyes of God.

Congrats Turms!

My game started intersting with Man attacking me on turn 4 or so, later I've attacked Marignon, but he has stopped playing (because of outside reasons), about at the same time Ulm also attacked me, I did some progress against Ulm and AI-d Marignon, but then Ulm went AI too. I had tense relations with Abysia, but he stopped doing his turns. When I was finishing AI-d Ulm, I've got into a skirmish with Mictlan, who has promptly went AI too

I got sick of fighting AI and went AI too, letting the best AI win. So aside of the early war vs Man I was mostly fighting AI...

Yes this game had an awful lot of dropouts.... Somewhat dissapointing.

Congratulations Turms!!!

Seems like there was no way of stopping you! My Caelian forces were a bit distracted by my Ally T'ien Chi turning AI suddenly, which was quite nasty having our provinces interspersed thanks to flying. But I do not think that this would have made a big difference...

I wondered why those mages banes seemed ineffective against you AirQueens, but if I recall it correctly, I think the Mage Bane wielders were placed badly and did not even try to attack them, right? I just reforged the matrices for communion (after killing the first caelian communion of with a seraph casting rain of stones on himself grr!), one of those incineration rods and prepared myself to get an iron dragon, but it was all to late and would just have been a single attack squad...

It was a pretty interesting game, especially in the beginning versus Arco and Marignon, though it was somehwat disappointing with both Abysia staling from the time when I was ready to attack them and Tien Chi suddenly turning AI at the same time. Both might have been helpful if they used their forces to help against that Pythian invasion! Fighting Pythium made the game interesting again after Abysia & TienChi being absent!!!

Machaka was getting its many legs kicked by C'tis for some time now. An abominably slow start (and only 1 gem site found in the first 15 turns or so, despite heavy searching) really put the kibosh on any chances of Machaka being a power in this game.

After this game I really understand why people like Air Queens. I had to summon the last one with astral gems (means she cost about 10 air and 80 astral). She was easily worth it and would have been much more.

However, I don't think you had any mage banes Chazar as it is a unique artifact and Thuella was wielding it for a long time. She gave it to a Tartarian Titan as I decided she was powerful enough with +100% quickness..

Maybe you had moon blades? They do x2 damage against magic beings - trouble was, the Air Queens had all defence over 30, very hard to hit them.
