Well, of course. But thanks to previous work of my high priests and Lizard Kings, I still had 3 dominion, despite lands further in having less.

It's just that cowardly snake running away. If he'd stuck to script, nothing would have touched him. Still had ten morale, as well. So, now my best Sauromancer is lost to the abyss. You'd think that if you had a second out... but no, I got the lizard with the courage of a filthy mammal.

It's the retreat that killed him. I did have a spare territory for him to move to, but apparently, the order of the battles left him nowhere to run to. That's what's so painful... Not only did he run, but in a way negating my twiceborn and my plans... Well, at least my chariots managed something.

Currently, duke_commando is winning the race for most entertaining comment. He's ranked first on the hidden 'humor' page of the score graph.

[duke_commando]

if only humor = lots of astral gems, cause I think i'll be needing a ton of them.
I get the feeling Agarthas gonna be turning the sun off real soon, considering that hes like completely beating the [censored] out of all of us in the research race...
and gems too, except for yomi

[Valandil]

and, uh, every other race as well...

[Szumo]

You mean me casting Utterdark? I think you overestimate my research progress

[Papastoss]

My apologies for stalling. I was headed out for a trip and I thought I was bringing my laptop which has Dom3 on it so I could play my turns but at the last second I didn't bring it and I didn't have the time to get a sub.

Sorry about that.

[duke_commando]

damn, what a showdown at Caelum's capital

Sauromatia salutes the brave warriors who fell in the battles of Rocknest Forest.

What a lame stunt to attack my army with a scout to stop it.

[duke_commando]

i just did that to see your army...you can't stop an army with scouts as far as I know, since movement in friendly territory occurs before attacks. Thats why I attacked both the provinces on our border, since I wasn't sure where you were going to go.

Edit:
Actually i guess I didn't know the movement rules as well as I thought. I thought you had to be adjacent to an enemy province to attack it, since I've never been able to attack otherwise, but apparently if you've got a move 3 commander it becomes possible, even if your troops are move 2.
So, sorry about blocking your army...i agree that it's pretty cheap, but that wasn't my intention.

incidentally, does teleporting/gating/faerie trod/whatever
onto an enemy army stop it as well?

[Hadrian_II]

I think movement has some random elements to it, but a battle even with a scout can be able to stop the other army.

[duke_commando]

yeah, I didn't know you could attack from 2 provinces away.
