I would explain it to mean that your pretender doesn't have astral?

That, was absolute luck. I wasn't even targeting your pretender, I wanted to kill your Kings.

Eitherway I'm dead next turn (If Ulm and Aby's dom can push hard enough to knock out a 2 candle prov next to three 6+ candle provs) Forgive me if this turn is less than motivated for me. Since Caelum is going to get dom-killed too, hinnom is in no state to make a come-back, and ulm would be alone with two nations in at the height of their power right now I'd just about be willing to call it.

'Team Fobyssia, VICTOLY!'

nope he doesnt I went for a wild build but that is not the point!!. Tbh I feel that even without astral on pretender Fomoria can do quite allright.You can get into low astral with spectres if you didn't manage to find any indies. And there is always degan to hire.

Mmm, looking at the dominion score graph, it seems I'll be left alone in this world soon with Himmon, Fomoria, and Abysia. That'll be fun.

Also Abysia, why do you have to siege that fortress? The Ench-20 site that gives 4 fire gems is mine, you hear? Even if I'm not Agartha and can't actually use it to anywhere close to its potential, you can't have it.

EDIT: Also, yay for Vengeance of the Dead! I killed something semi-important!

[bbz]

The thing is what we could do if caelium falls(I don't understand how he manages not to get enough preachers)

There is still possibility that I get dom-killed. And Also I have a deal to fullfill with Hinnom. So if Caelium falls ulm+ your artifacts + the help of Hinnom vs us should be interesting enough.
I just lost my main army and my pretender remember?

[Excist]

Caelum will be fine. He has weathered the storm and still has provinces with 3-4 dominion (few though that they are)

[Legendary League]

Even so, the situation is pretty dire as is. If I had a couple turns reprieve to consolidate land from the (inevitable) domkill and to regroup after wasting away my main army/battle communion, then sure, maybe. Problem is vampires under darkness aren't that useful against smoulderghosts, morrigans, and Fomorians, which is technically my primary defense mechanism after a certain point.

Abysia's raiding has been killer on my blood economy, and my research is definitely starting to lag behind.

Seriously though, I'm going to call it, unless this siege of my fortress results in the total annihilation of Abysia's forces (which I doubt). Then we're talking.

[Legendary League]

Even so, my position is pretty precarious right now, considering how crucial that fortress which is being sieged is, and how utterly likely it is to fall.

Pretty much calling it after next turn, unless aforementioned army is vaporized during the storm (which I doubt).

[Bullock]

I'm stunned by the misfortune of my mate with the mind hunt !

Btw Legendary you are doing very well, you managed to deal pretty well with my zmeies, i wouldn't have done better, and you did well on the field too.

You are definitely not a noob as far as i can judge.

If our opponents are willing to surrender i'm fine with that i guess bbz will be too

[Legendary League]

If by well on the field, you mean have my main army murderized by Heat from Hell and Blade wind spam (I really should've rushed Fire Fend and Iron Warriors there...or Gold Warriors [but that's way out of my research league), yeah. Then again, I've got way too many research priorities to juggle, from alt-6 for soul vortex and darkness, blood 5/7 for vampires and vampire lords (and other blood goodies), Const-6, thaum-6,..

I don't intend to surrender quite yet, I'm just expressing the certainty that I am inevitably doomed. I blame my fail expansion phase. I'll fight to the bitter end (which, honestly, will come soon).

I have learned quite abit. I.E. Don't switch over to counts for blood hunting if I expect Zmeys to pop up overhead, why my reverse communions keep failing horribly, etc.

I also get to examine the viability of this particular LA Ulm strategy (i.e. abandon national troops, switch over to chaff producers asap). Means abandoning fortune tellers almost right off the bat (i.e. after a death and nature random), but the freespawn chaff does free up quite alot of gold for mages and stuff (also, my first stab at a luck strategy instead of an order/prod strategy for Ulm; the extra gems are definitely nice, I'm just going to have to work on figuring out how to expand faster/establish larger/faster blood economies here).
