Armadillo - started

[Kristoffer O]

- Aha, the Lawgiver hear the trembling of a frightened Caelum. Soon you will be devoured as well!

- Please ignore the voice of the horror that calls you from the broken tomb. The priests of Mictlan has no ill will towards your proud nation. The horror from the crypt is in no position to devour your nation.

Hmm, is it common to ask for subs? I see your point about me playing several nations 30 turns, but there is also a point of me continuing. I have never played a game which lasted more than 60 turns IIRC. It was long time since I played MP and I hae always played with victory conditions. Either VP's or cumulative VP's (my personal favourite). So it is quite educational playing with more powerful spells than I'm used to. I have never faced a tartarian, only seen arcane nexus and utterdark in dom-ppp, where research was quicker. I also tended to play with slow research in dom2, to avoid the great impact of magic.

I intend to focus on MA Ulm next. Quantum Mechanic invited me for blizing this weekend. I will most likely be there (although it might depend on if JK returns from India). Feel free to join for some gaming and IRCing (which I'm not very used to ).

Hmm, I'm still not entirely comfortable using the patch, at least not against my current enemies.

I think I will do as follows: I will avoid from using the patch in my current wars and give the rest of you knowledge of what has been altered, so you can prepare, should you feel inclined to attack me.

Heroes: two shape shifting coatls, one with 3N3S3P2F and one 3N3S3P2A. Unlikely to appear, since my scales are unlucky.

Sky Priest: 2A2P flying, 160g, home only.
Mictlan priest: FWNS random -> FAWNS random

Jade Serpent: Sacred summon. 2W, Conj 4, 5 gems, about as powerful a sea serpent, but no fear, can enter water, sacred.

Eagle Warriors: Something will happen to eagle warriors. Either loose home only, or switch home only with jaguar warriors. Compensates MA a bit for not having easy access to sacred demon fliers. A bit worried that it is too powerful though. They are pretty offensive with heavy blesses.

Moon warrior: Nonsacred heavy (by mictlan standards) elite infantry. Scale hauberk, 2h obsidian sword, 50 darkvision, 12 MR. No ranged weapon. Recruitable anywhere.

I'm thinking about possible changes on the Coatl, but nothing so far. I have an idea of separating the coatl of Mictlan from the c'tissian one.

Oops, I staled again (I'm subbing for my old nation of Atlantis since Remmy has disappeared). Sorry, major error! I'm getting unusually confused since the e-mails are still set to go to Remmy's address. Think I will switch it back to me, since he shows no signs of reappearing.

PS Mictlan stuff sounds great, and I have no concerns about it at all. Thanks so much for working on it!

[Kristoffer O]

Horror!

The hopes of Mictlan might forever have been crushed! The Saviour is nom More! Great GrayZ, the Rider of Clouds is riding clouds no more, destroyed by the monstrosity from the grave, Prince of Pestilence. We are now without divine guidance and unable but to follow the lead the Persecutor and Destroyer of Youth.

Totl now treads the red carpet prepared for Him Who Was at the Center, He Who Is no More, rmemembered be His name.

All Hail Totl, Lord of Light, Enemy of Darkness!

I am out all day tomorrow, so can I request a 6 hr or so extension, ie host at 2200 hrs instead of the current 1600 hrs?

I should be able to do my turn then.

[Kristoffer O]

OK

[Valerius]

Hosting for turn 45 has been delayed by 7 hours. New hosting time is 23:00 Monday.

[llamabeast]

The gracious Aethyr will now be playing Atlantis. The nation will be reinvigorated, and all will tremble at the name. Muwahaha!

PS Apologies again that I didn't carry on playing. First game I've ever dropped out of - I just got a big bogged down and really wanted to avoid it becoming a job. Have a good game guys - and if I were you I would fear Totl! (I love your posts Kristoffer ).

[Kristoffer O]

We also fear him!

The apparition seems to have allied with independent necromancers. Two months ago his first dreaded minion arrived with a horde of soulless Mictlan peasants, the hapless victims of his Ill will. The evil mage now resides in our capital where he has entered the Tomb of Totl to cast a great spell upon himself, uttering a promise not to die as long as Totl leads the world to darkness.

Last month another necromancer arrived at the gates of one of Great GrayZ's castles, denying his retreating troops access to the safety of the walls, effectivelt crushing his entire army and the Righteous, the Mighty, the Unconquered Cu Chulainn, prophet of the Earth Monster, slayer of Totls enchanted Minions; between the hammer of Totl's mictlan slaves and his evil necromancer minion.

If your lands has been attacked by independent necromancers, you must be aware that it is not a random event. It is surely the malice of the Prince of Pestilence that haunts your lands. Ill luck has come to us as well as our enemies. As spoken by Saturn:
Mine are the maladies that kill with cold
The dark deceits, the strategms of old.

R'lyeh has fallen, the evil Lizards of C'tis crushed our last fighting army. As this message is written, all remaining starspawns are fleeing this land into the deap sea of the great ocean.

It was a good game, as long as it lasted, and the next time i will play rlyeh, i will make sure that i will be able to mind hunt.
