AAR: The Caelum Confessional

[Boron]

I love your style Calistas . Quick to read and often very funny comments .

but surely I could be doing some better magic or summoning some better troops? Or using some mages to do the dirty work? No idea really!

Now it maybe too late but Alteration 6 is extremely useful for Caelum . False horror is the key spell there .
Evocation 4/5 are also very nice for Caelum : Thunder strike + orb lightning . Death to everything non lightning immune . Since the Ai builds no SCs this is almost everything

TURN 33

"...Proclomation from Pythium" - Stupid legionnaires!
"...Research complete" - Construction 3
- Kaspus is mine! I think they all just ran from the scary Vampire. Funny as hell. Nice kelp forest there too.
- Disease again.. Damn. I move my army ALL the way home and will have to get me some food bags or something. Annoying.

TURN 34

"...Research Complete" - Construction 4
- Armavir is MINEEEEE

Turn Orders
- Order a temple where the new fort is
- I order a winged helm. I think 5 air will be good for queeny as I can get those air queen things I hear about.
- Queeny moves SE to the bridge of rushes. A bridge, made out of rushes? Sounds silly! But the gold doesn't!
- I order TWO endless bags of bloody wine. Pissed Mammoths, that's JUST what I want. Well, at least they won't be dying all over the show, although I think now most have various afflictions.
- I order three more of the buggers just for the fun of it.
- Two more sages should help.

Comments
Muddle along. That's the way. Good lad.

[Calistas]

Ahh! Good tips Boron! For more amusing reasing go here. I'm posting as PeterNZer and playing as Pythium.

I have Alteratoin 6 so I will get some lads sorted to go out indie-hunting next turn!

TURN 35

Turn Results
"...Research Complete" - Construction 5, w00ty
"...Proclomation from Abysia!" - Hah, i've only lost one prophet!
"...Unexpected event Heavens Hold" - Plague
"...Unexpected event Heavens Hold" - Death gems. See, there's a method to my madness!
- Queeny kicks ***. And I don't know who named that province but WE SAW NO BRIDGE! I think it must be an adversiting ploy. Well, now it will just advertise DEATH and the arrival of Queeny, the blood suckingiest ***** around!

Empire Status
- 19 provinces

Turn Orders
- Queeny flies home for some R&R
- Another clam please. We like shellfish, what can I say!
- Armies and bags and horror helm (I'll give Queeny the other helm) head east to the other fort.
- I order up an anti-magic amulet for my darling.
- A seraph flies to north base to set up a lab. I will need lots of rubbish to cast false horror now. I also figure I might need some stuff to help them like barkskin amulets and whatnot. We'll see what Construction 6 brings us.
- I get two skeleton amulets on order. I figure a skeleton will give the baddies something to shoot at until my guys get off all their false horrors. I also order two command staff things with the added fireball (At no extra cost!) My leaders could do with being USEFUL!
- I order 2 bracers of protection. See above.
- Still got 261 research going on!

Comments
Ok, lets get these false horrors going. Give Queeny a bit more durability and get my army out and moving AGAIN and PROPERLY. At the same time, prepare for some Air Queeny things. Notice a theme?! Yes, I like queens! Say that out loud in some places and you can get beaten up I hear. Don't say I didn't warn you.

TURN 36

"...Proclomation from Man" - Who cares! I will bite thee!
"...Cursing in Starko" - Bloody witch! Queeny is there to deal to her!
"...tax boost in North Sea Kaspus"
"...Starvation in heavens hold" - AARRGG MORE BAGS THEN!

Turn Orders
- Queeny makes a Wraith Sword. They are dinky I hear. She can summon a bane lord I see but I'm not sure they are any good! Who knows! Maybe I will bother checking next turn.
- Another clam is ordered.
- Another Bag of Wine is created (3 leaders will be on patrol with that army, the prophet, a general and a wizzard (to control the birdies) so that's all I can take. It better do. I also hope moving the wine bags between two generals (Rather than being on one when they arrived in province) will alleviate the hunger).
- I equip queeny with the winged helm, the strength boots and the luck and antimagic amulets. I consider making earth boots but can't be bothered.
- I order 2 sages
- I order a lab up north
- I'm clearing 322 magic research. Next turn I will move some Seraphs around for some bLasting action. For now, lets rush to.. erm.. what was it? O yeah, construction 6!

Direction? Strategy? Never heard of it!

TURN 37

"...Unruly Knights" - Bah, the dunwash is taken! Silly me, no PDs.

Empire Status
- 18 provinces

Turn Orders
- Kill kill kill! No unrest in my kingdom! Thats it.
- Queeny flies west to the water with her shiny new sword, hat, etc. She's excited. I can tell because she ate 5 virgin men today instead of her usual 3.
- Dunwash is right next to my new FED army. In Cromwell fashion I call it the New Model Army, but on recollection this is about the 4th time i've built it so it is the New New New Model Army. N3MA as I like to tell people. GO GET 'EM BOYS! Don't forget your rods! And dress up warm, there's a dear! (and the false horrors, hehehe. Good one magey!).
- I order another clam
- I send 3 seraphs north to my closest fort from home so they can false horror their way around the Nth and NE. At that fort I order some chaff.
- I order a missile of amulet protection for the north seraph who just finished a lab. He will join the other three in indie bashing.
- I order two more high seraphs
- I adjust research so I get construction 6 and continue with conjuration.

Tallyho!

TURN 38

"...Research Complete" - Construction 6! woo!
- Queeny stomps her way around underwater without a hitch.
- N3MA stomps, zaps, scares and flaps its way through 15 units without loss. Next! Good one!

Empire Status
- 20 provinces
- Income 789 (T 732)

Turn Orders
- Queeny, go west and put the hurt on 100 barbarians. Show 'em your shiny teeth!
- N3MA go North again and pillage your way to Rome.. or some equivelant goal.
- Strike Force False horror heads NE from the fort with another High Seraph coming down from the far north fort. They have around a dozen light inf chaff.. and all they will do is cast FH. I think about mistform.. but decide they will be fine with their trinkets and my blasse attitude!
- Clam
- Super Sage makes his astral hat. Cute.

Comments
BLasterize them my minions!

TURN 39

Turn Results
"...Research Complete" - Conjuration 6
"...Naughty Witch" - some steps somewhere
- Queeny slaughters eighty-odd barbarians. I think less of her as a cute goth girl and more as a wind up kiling machine. Point her at a province and say 'sick-em!' and she slaughters all in her path. She has now got her 5th Star and has killed FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE baddies. Not bad!
- N3MA takes some bog somewhere with a handfull of casualties (a couple or three stuffed Mammoths as far as I can tell). One of my commanders sets a mammoth on fire. It doesn't seem to mind. This I am surprised at going by their previous performance).
- Strike Force False Horror (SFFH) saw off 63 assorted infantry but lost some half dozen of its own infantry. I figure I can better organise their magic (quickness to start with) and do even betterer next time. However, this is a promising start!

Empire Status
- 23 provinces
- Income 848 (T 1205)

Turn Orders
- With 110 or so Astrals I am pleased! Super Sage casts Achasic Record on Heaven's Hold Mountains. The map has a castle and a star there (well, I -think- it is in that province, it's hard to tell) so maybe I will get some juicy goodies! I'm happy either way, I love searching!).
- N3MA goes around the mountains to the SE to continue destructionising.
- 2 sages and 3 high seraphs ordered. Hard research.. can never have too many researcherers.
- TFFH are ordered North to some random indie province (Where are the AI's by the way! Still no sign of them but the odd bit of dominion! I'd send out my scout but i'll run over 'em eventually I figure). I re-jigg them all to cast quickness and then a lot of False Horrors. Wish I could remember how to 'bookmark' spell casting sets. Did it manually.
- Quenny flips a coin and decides people to the NW want to be deaded. Can't really stop her, she's on a roll now.
- I order up a dozen miltia in the mid-north province. I'll need more chaff soon I am sure.

Oooh, my First AR! How exciting. Tomorrow we'll see what happens!

Point the mouse on the spellscript , then ctrl + a number .
Point the mouse on an empty spellscript list and just use the number you chose and voila you copied your bookmarked spell casting set
