Welcome to the game, oh neighboring spider-race. The holy might of Marignon was just, er, looking at the real estate outside my meager expanse. Yea, yea, that's what I was doing.

Yeah sorry about that status mail. I just didnt actually recieve your turn until a couple hours after I sent the status, even though it says you sent it like 5 hours before. But, no harm done.

Turn 32

Machaka attacks me for some reason.
I'm sieging Pythium's capital again. Who's playing Pythium at the moment?
Not much too report at the moment.

Turn 32

The province tally is: Ermor 36, Machaka 29, Marignon 18, Pangaea 15, Jotunheim 14, Arcosephale 13, Pythium 9, and Man 8. Obscuro, the Armored Fist of God, Mighty Pak-ur, and the Black Fists are open for bidding.

I'm getting attacked by Machaka too, it seems (of course, you could say I started it).

Looks like we're just waiting on Man for a new turn to start.

Man, don't make me open a can of whoop ***!

Oh, wait. I guess I already did.

Turn 33

Man seems to be getting trashed, but I wouldn't count him out just yet.
I finally manage to complete one of my evil schemes and should have a nice surprise in store for unwanted visitors

.
I spend time cleansing Machaka filth from my lands.
Not much too report for the rest.

You can count me out.

I was betrayed
By a traitor
I warn you all this traitor is in our mists.
This traitor is a cunning vicuous.
A traitor with out morale.

This traitor is:

THE A.I !!!

My last hope, betrayed me, instead of spamming Maggots like ordered my mages decided to do other random things.

Maggots only has a very short range and requires a nature gem, your mages probably couldn't cast it. It does seem to kill any undead it hits.
Lots of priests work good against Ermor's undead. I think eagle eyes + orb lightning should work good also.

In my opinion, Maggots is useful only in rare situations. One casting costs a gem and kills only one undead. My army had over 200 undead. If Man had used all 18 gems for successful castings of Maggots, it would have barely slowed down the horde. On the other hand, if you were up against a single Bane Lord or Wraith Lord, Maggots would be good. In most other circumstances, several Monks protected by infantry would do much better.
