Done. Let us know if you need any time beyond that.

RonD · #2 April 23rd, 2012, 07:37 PM

All turns except Ulm are in, and the turn is scheduled to host in an hour or so. I am going to go ahead and extend the timer another day, just in case. But feel free to put your turn in tonight if it is ready.

Tahnks a lot! Going to try something new

Thanks a lot for cathcing my stale RonD, I set reminders to 24 hours as that is imho better. Its damn easy to miss a reminder if you have an early job, and the reminder comes in at 1 am in the night.

Ulm is officially all in! Will hilarity ensue?
Also: Bah, forgot about the stupid quickness on the wendigo. Was propably my best chance of getting him by providing Shinu with a nice piece of bait and then moving in with the sea queen who regenerates back to full health every turn

Yep, the bait-then-attack was a nice ploy. Remind me when the war is over, and I will pass on some tips about how to have been more successful with it.

I figured the leprosy campaign would eventually force you to attack. From the looks on what is left of the faces of the besieging troops, all those leprosy casting have done their job well.

Damn RonD, you are a great player!
So yeah, whenever I siege try sieging, my armies armour gets premptivly destroyed by a single Bakemono Sorc on Acid Storm, backed up by a lizard wizard with a staff of storm scripted to cast returning.
I actually had one golem scripted to cast soul slay, but it didnt hit the right targets, well, at least Caelum has stormflyers

.
I am learning a lot from this game though!

Hehe, if you recall that we were at war when you just subbed in, Shinuyamas incredible late game was the actual reason why I tried to kill them first, even if it would result in an ugly map.
At that time, I knew my northern neighbour to be Mictlan, who is not really an immidiate threat for Rose Ulm (oohhhh, sacreds! Cute!) threat, MA Ctis, who isnt what I would call heavy threat to Rose Ulm (Well, I can get poison resistance and even darkness counters with comparable ease) either, and Tien Chi + Acro who are imho "meh". MA Acro has mindhunt (not great against Rose Ulm), and Tien Chi does not have anything that would scare me as much as massive Earth and Acid access with easy access to a large variety of powerfull elemental/death magics.
I must confess that I had a policy of trying to kill Shinuyama really early , if encountered in games, and this game certainly did nothing to change this notion.
Incedently, my success rate of rushing Shinuyama (3 times with MA Ulm, once with MA Man) is 50/50.
I also failed to stress the point of Shinuyama being the main threat to Caelum, although its hard to sandbag to someone whom you sold a bunch of stone spheres.

Ahh. I was actually talking about the specific task of killing the wendigo. But I'm sure we will also talk about the war in general once it is over.

As you now know, the real purpose of the acid storm was to set your troops (and, hopefully, mages) up for the following turn's weather extremes. That all worked out quite well (from my point of view, that is).
