Thanks.
I wanted to have someone soft to me to rush him with highly-blessed troops. Unfortunately, there was Ermor.

Also, I'd like to have a 24h extension.

Atlantis deserves a ton of credit for going all out against me in the beginning. He was truly an unstoppable monster in the beginning, who burned almost everything to come after me. The only thing that saved me was the map, which made it difficult for him to reach me in enough time to wipe me out. I don't have the map in front of me, but his capital is like 5 moves from mine over mountainous terrain.

k. I'll add 24 to the timer.

Yes. The map definetly helped in this case. Of course it also created a situation for me where I could expand and get way ahead in research. So it worked for me in the early game and worked against me in the mid-game when I was best positioned to check (had access to spells that would have been devestating to chaff) you but had no way to get my armies near you.

they are gathering valuable intelligence that serves primarily one purpose: to plan an attack.

Or they just keep an eye on you to ensure, that you`re not preparing to backstab.
I always do it, for example.
BTW, I was planning an early attack against Bogarus... Mainly for the reason I couldn`t move my scouts to the west, past his capitol. But then Parone started threating me - and became №1 priority target.

Next time ask and I'll pause patrol for a turn or 2 so you can sneak by.

I really was convinced you were going to attack me sooner or later. With the way LL was going on and you agreeing with him (and having each of you on each side). I always had to keep at least 1/2 my army facing you. It really slowed down my attack on Marignon.

Well, having super-fast research, not needing anything but scales and AND simargl patrollers on top of that makes Bogarus one of LA`s biggest powerhouses (if not THE biggest in Ermor`s absence). Easy access to soulcontracts helps too, OFC. So, you cannot blame me for that.

BTW, next time limit yourself to magic-1. Your best researchers (Starets and master of names) have sage bonus, so magic-3 isn`t too effective on them.

mattyburn7 · #7 July 3rd, 2012, 01:29 PM

Thanks for the tip on the magic. I should move those points elsewhere...and nope don't blame you one bit. Just was surprised not to be attacked!!

And like I Said before the map really helped me early. I was able to expand way south, not too much east(because we bumped into each other), but nevertheless I was able to get a great early jump with crap troops and a dormant pretender.

I think by turn 20 I probably had 6 forts and was way ahead on research. Unfortunately I got overcautious expecting to get double-teamed and got into a war that took wayyyy too long and moved me away from the Ermor action. It was a fun learning experience. Unfortunately every other game I've played with Bogarus since this I have either gotten caught into an early war or hemmed in and had trouble expanding.

shard, me thinks that is not accurate. i was at war with abysia when you attacked me-i didn't threaten you! you said you were going to attack and so i threatened to kill every one of your men you moved across the bridge(a threat i failed to execute).

anyway, i think i will eventually win this game now that my cap has been liberated. big mistake bone daddy.

Maybe you threatened him in one of your drunken rants?

Liberating you was my secret trump card against Shard: Once you pull the crazy man from his box, it's hard to stuff him back in.
