Or machinations!!!

Heh, yeah. What happened Q? You posted your venegance message in the game but then the next turn (?) you were wiped out? I thought it would be a good 3-4 more. What is going on over on that side of the world?

And playing probably the worst nation in the game to be rushed

. The troops sucked and the mages couldn't do anything...

I doubt even allies would have saved me with how fast Pan and Mictlan rolled over my junk armies.

Let us have a moment of silence for the fall of Tien Chi.

...

Soon we know that thier proud people will be sacrificed in most horrific ways to feed the blood appetite of Mictlan.

Soon Marignon too will fall from the greek warmonger.

Hahaha, yes perhaps the greeks will overrun you soon. But not if I keep making newbie mistakes like I did with those elephants!!!

Arrrg!! I can't believe it. I lined up ALL the reserve troops in that battle in the elephant-rout line. Such a newbie mistake.

In response to all teh Mystics killed under elephant feet in that battle, a joint Astrologer/Mystic agreement was signed to ban the use of elephants in all further combat.

Thoughts on Age of man.
It's a fun concept. But for future games AoM needs it's own modded nations. For instance...Mictlan needs Non-mages who can lead it's summoned (National Troops FoD and Spine.D's) As is. The Mictlans can only lead 5, 10 or 15 of they're summoned troops, dependant upon the priest's B.magic. Mictlan needs a mod to give the tribal kings more suited leadership.

Here is a different example of the 1 mage to 25 troop rule.

There is a certain army within my domain that has been whittled down to 2 mages and 20ish troops. The invading army is immediately surrounded by hostile provinces. With a strict interpretation of the rules, the army should try to get back to its own areas with its mages set on retreat. In this case, though, he would basically be throwing his troops and mages away.

Since we all agreed to these rules, it is fair for him to destroy his army. But for a future version of this theme, is that what we really want?
