MP: Power Beyond Comprehension aka "My power is still raising!" newbie game - Running

[Legendary League]

We Norwegians do not use slave labor! Our Svartalfs and Vanir craft these items and trinkets by hand!

IF you were to visit one of our IKEA stores, that would be different. But that's Swedish, and they just use Finns.

[HoleyDooley]

Nothing like racial harmony in the world....lol.

[Rejakor]

If by racial harmony you mean 'kill those goddamn fire people and dirty asterix-wannabes' then sure. More like species harmony though.

[Rejakor]

Hmph.

It seems my thugs like to spam random spells and get killed thanks to fatigue.

No matter.

I don't need their filth.

I will have my victory the way I should have had it from the beginning.. with none of their cheap tricks and trinkets.. only COLD. ONI. STEEL.

HAIL THE INEVITABLE CYCLE OF DEATH AND REBIRTH.

[krpeters]

This is why I've given up on death combat magic -- any mage with D magic will kill himself with skellyspam given the opportunity.

[Rejakor]

Massed skellyspam is one of the strongest earlygame tactics full stop.

[Legendary League]

Until they bring out either massed priests or solar rays.

[krpeters]

Massed archers work too, though not as well as massed priests.

Think of it this way. Even if you're playing EA C'tis, which gives you the most bang for the buck (200 gold D3) it's easy for an equal gold value of priests or archers to clean up your summons. Four 50-gold H1's or two 100-gold H2's will punish them, as will a squad of 20 archers.

A 200 gold Hannya D2 raising skeletons is a complete waste.

OOC: Just so you guys know, I'm thinking of starting an AAR for this game starting turn 36 (so a 3-turn lag all told). I think that'll be enough to keep the information outdated enough for my own benefit.

IC: Lizards are sooooo nice and cuddly. <3

Bah! Why do you suddenly have a glut of lizard-skin shoes in your lands!!
