LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)

[melnorjr]

The battle there was so lackluster because I didn't have the troops for it. my mages routed on round 3, when they were about to open up with their spells. I had them in a reverse communion - which was probably not the right choice there.

Anyway, PMing you the password Mardagg.

You guys killed me about 4 turns too early by the way. I was just getting ready to get bunches of vampires up when you took my forts and stopped me from collecting more slaves - that was the reason for my odd pretender.

One thing I learned: trying to cause unrest with five-fold angels and Khlyst doesn't work on players.

you did lose some starets and troops already to starvation+desertion before i think.At least 3 starets and 1 fivefold angel went missing.
Actually i was looking forward to lose some more melee troops there...to lower my upkeep.
I did lose a lot of respect for Khlyst btw...i think that the cause unrest tag is BIG laydown...i always knew in which province u had sneaky troops bc of that.That way i could easily use my freespawns and regular troops to hunt down your invaders and no spy can stand vs like 80 troops + PD patrolling.

Yeah,as soon as i saw your pretender magic paths,i was like: Someone wants to use vampires vs my ULM
Anyways,Thanks for some fun battles and for showing me how great Sharivar map is(never played it before).

Ok guys,i am the new admin then.
I will try to check this topic at least everytime before hosting.
But if its urgent its better to send me a PM in addition to posting here.

Spies do work, if you can mass them in sufficient quantities. I think fivefold angels were spies in addition to just being stealthy? Anyway, your huge research graph showed that you were aiming for something, and staying very quiet about it, didn't know what it was though..

But still, if you had waited for ulm to bump into your castle, you would've had much better chances since the gate is a very easily defendable choke point (as we saw with the fight in your cap ).

Probably one more round for his mages to cast spells,still not enough troops and huge morale issues because of starvation(-4 to morale IIRC) especially vs that many ranged attackers.
And i had something cooked up for the castle fight which didnt trigger now

We Bnupa, God of Patala, require more lands.

We thereby cancel our non-aggression pact with Agartha and will be moving out in 3 turns. Prepare your armies Agartha!

PS: I believe that would mean that on turn 47 I may attack. Please correct me if I misunderstand the 3 turn NAP concept.

You know, the human body is extremely bad conductor - there's nothing to fear about lightning. And we've heard that it never hits the same spot twice too, so just build a house to a place where confirmed thunder strikes have happened before. Still, should you find yourself struck by a lightning, wearing a ring of lightning protection is a very good pre-emptive measure to save your meager life. In fact, we are selling them for 5 astral pearls a piece for those who are interested! Contact us by mail or send an emissary with a cartful of astral pearls.

Ha the rings are less expensive if you buy them from a pythium merchant: 4.5 astral pearls . Garanteed 100% bio and natural!

Ulm hereby announces that our first strike surprise attacks on Agartha have been mostly successful.
Those lands are infested by vampire tribes worshipping a false god and as such cant be tolerated by our great ruler ,Mardagg,the Leech.

Every conquererd province as of this month is viewed as Ulmish territory from now on.

Who would like to take part into a vampire war anyway? Let the bloodsuckers drink the blood of their own kind. We are just curious how Agartha will react to this surprise attack.

Fine! We'll offer them at 4 pearls a piece. Or alternatively 400 gold for one! Buy four and get the fifth one free!
