You have no reason to worry Zhao, Ermor and Arcoscephale are friends.

In any event, my supply of gems is gone-thanks to Eriu.

Xietor:

I guess you like Ermor only because he engaged Atlantis in war so you could freely attack Eriu

GeneralZhao:

Something is not right with that Mizuko battle. I killed all your troops, you got left with 2 Demiliches and 1 Soulless Warrior. Mizuko tramples him and suddenly stops, as Demiliches did not exist and she could not reach them. She had plenty of movement points left and flying... and the she gets hit by one disintegrate which had hm... 0,00000001% chance of passing 29MR?

Default Ermor and Arcos

Not exactly Zeldor. Ermor and Abysia were allies against Eriu, and since I was at war with Eriu also, we were friendly.

Then when the Forge was cast, I worked with Ermor closely in attacks on Shard. In fact, had Sieger followed my instructions closely, and cast magic duel twice with his pretender before casting master enslave, your epic hero would be dead. But he did not follow my advice and his pretender was killed.

And there were many trades back and forth between Ermor and myself. While the players have changed, Arcos. still views Ermor as a friend.

And what Baltz fails to state, is he still has 6 decked out glamor thugs(mr 25 so immune to mind hunt) raiding my home area, his sc pretender in his capital, and at least 7 of his thunderstiking capital only mages stealthed by his capital, and at least 1 angel.

Unless he plans on suiciding all his Tuatha next turn, he still has the capability to cause me plenty of Harm-and aggravation.

Zeldor:
I agree. I'm not sure why Mizuko stopped after trampling that one last Longdead; normally she would go on to trample several more. I noticed that after the "Ermor is routed" message popped up, she seemed to go off her normal pattern and was only trampling a couple at a time. Maybe it was some weirdness related to troops that would normally flee, but don't because they are immortal?

Mizuko did get unlucky, since even with my slight penetration bonus she has a less than 1% chance of dying to any one spell. Still, she did get hit with a good dozen or more disintegrations, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. On the other hand, I think she got fairly lucky by taking hundreds and hundreds of damage without ever catching an affliction.

Regeneration and Recuperation really decrease chance for getting afflictions, so not so strange.

The most probable explanation for that weirdness is that famous battle repeat bug. But I am still curious what is exact chance to get past 29MR. Heh, in 2 turns you will meet here again anyway

Eriu is going AI the current turn and Zeldor has asked me to take over Atlantis as he signed up as a temp sub and Shard is still MIA. Does anyone object?

Default bah humbug

Though it will not be in my interest to have a player that has already weathered a war with me and knows my tactics take over Atlantis, it likely would not take a new player of high skill long to figure it out in any event. And you have unique knowledge of the provinces you once owned as Eriu.

But, as game admin. I am very liberal in honoring a player's wish with respect to a sub. So as long as you are not looking at the turn file for both nations at the same time, it is within Zeldor's broad latitude to ask you to sub for him.

Should Shard return, however, Atlantis is still his race to play I think. Though I have never faced the situation of the owner of the race taking such a long break from the game, then taking it back. But Evilhomer took the summer off in the Big Game and reclaimed LA Ryleh, so I think I would follow Velusion's lead should Shard return and want Atlantis back.

With that stipulation, once Eriu is set to ai, pm me your email address and I will have Atlantis' future turns sent to you.

*there were a couple of objections about Dr. P taking over a race after he was eliminated in EH I, as they said he would carry a grudge. I overruled those because subs are not easy to find, and the player getting the sub likely knew what grudges the sub may or may not have. So I am being consistent with the first game.

Xietor:

I had to sub for around 2 weeks and it is over a month. I have checked my PMs, it seems I took over 8th March. And I got less time now [and I would need couple postpones within a month, trip to Hua Shan next week, Shandong province in 2nd week of May etc]. And the most important thing - I really don't like Atlantis As I don't like Man, but here turns require a lot of time.

And I wouldn't worry about Atlantis attacking you. Ermor is really not interested in stopping the war. And I would be surprised if that war could be finished in less than 20 turns [it can rather go on forever].
