VampireBat - LA game for new players- started

[James243]

That was a great battle. I had no idea that you had that many troops there. Did you move many in that turn? Or was it PD? Maybe I shouldn't have declared my intentions. Anyway, it looked like something out of Lord of the Rings...and we all know what happened to the elephants in that...

The turkey?!

Poor old Khan'Gar-OftDead is now licking his wounds yet again...

[Karlem]

I had many troops around and prepared for your attack. You gave Ghill some maneuver time .

Had you not declared your intentions I would have done the same, 200 troops in my border with not other possible enemy near? This way it is just more clear who's the enemy and who isn't .

[Karlem]

you reffered to Mictlan, the blood hunter with evil scales as the defenders of freedom.

We do defend freedom. The freedom of your soldier to die for their God, the freedom of the virgins to be sacrified on the altars, the freedom of the demons to roam the world...

[Aezeal]

Be glad mictlan only has 1.5 bless.. in anothergame I'm against a triple 9 bless (fire/water/astral).. those jaguar warriors are unkillable.. trampling won't go and they kill FAST with fire and water bless... they don't die cus of first the twist fate and then the shapechange too.

The turkey is a shapeshifter mage I think

Hey arco... could you set up some party tents for 200 new visitors in halbartia? I'd be happy with some rooms inside the castle too btw
Next turn Jomon looses his last northern castle and turn after that I'd like your castle too

PS if you want to spend more cash on PD in those provinces near the castle be quick.. My mages haven't really impressed me (they don't seem to follow orders quite well) so I need them to get some target practice with thunderstriking in 2 turns (See if they actually are gonna do it this time.)

[Karlem]

Just waiting for Marignon...

[Zenzei]

Karlem: I just wanted to say it's only one more turn now.

[Aezeal]

hehe marignon is so confused about attacking mictlan or not that he's gonna stale it seems.

[Aezeal]

hmmm Jomon's last castle taken without losses always nice.

The majority of my army is insisting on lodging in halbartia castle and have breached the gate there.. as I remember there is hardly anybody home so that should be nice..

I finally know what i did wrong last battles.. it appears the great Aezeal has overestimated the stormpower spell since it has much more demands than other similar spells for other sphere's I assumed incorrectly that one stormpower would work for all my mages on the field (like light of the northern star for astral) so that explains why only 2 mages cast thunderstrike that battle (the one casting stormpower and the one with A3). It has cost me about 3 battles and some dozen galdermen, but now I know how it works . Let everyone (and arco in particular) fear the galdermen.

But there will be some genuine target practice now Í have instructed all galdermen to cast thunderstrike.
My volva (which I'm recruiting mainly atm for research purposes) will be casting soulslay.. the targetting there shouldn't be a problem either...

My estimation: there will be some arco deaths next turn.

Ow and to show I also keep the bigger picture (mictlan vs patala, arco and ulm) in mind while destroying arco: I was wondering what the deeper theory was in giving mictlan more lands instead of taking them (as is usual when invading someone 3 on 1) .. no offence.. just wondering.

PS nice research ulm.

PPS nice list of ... thingies (I wanted to say people but I fear there are some demons in there) in the hall of fame Mictlan.

PPPS can anyone explain why my income went down in the graphs when I've only been taking provinces last turn?

[Zenzei]

Battle plans of Ulm have been made and on next turn we'll see if I can give some headache to Karlem. Btw, Mictlan has them artifacts, I wonder if there's any left when I reach const 8.

Aezeal: Thanks, I'm quite surprised that I've been able to catch everyone even though I was the bottom feeder in research(by a huge margin) not so long time ago.

Yeah, Mictlan's devils have taken the HoF pretty good. Luckily unique summons don't get any heroic abilities.

Maybe you got some unrest events in your old provinces and the new ones have low income? That would explain the income drop, I wouldn't worry about it much though.

[Karlem]

I was just 2 on 1 last turn (Arcos an Patala) this turn Ulm will try to change things in its favour .

Do you like my dudes? they do their work incredibly well . Ask Patala for comments
