Hehehe, cleveland this nation is a paper tiger. Believe it or not I've been telling the truth about it being horribly disorganized and unprepared. Its taken me pretty much since I took control to get the nation to the point where I would describe it as remotely fit for late-game combat

Well it is a mighty paper tiger. Seeing hundreds of demons with archdevils spreading the globe is pretty scary. If it makes you feel any better there was a coalition ready to hit Mictlan even before you took over. Basically, Mictlan was just far more powerful than anyone else. It's also very hard to stop a blood nation once they get the blood hunting going as Mictlan clearly had.

In other news: Patala is surging! Well not really but they're still alive. Bogarus has returned from vacation in the nick of time to face the mighty, mighty forces of Marignon in a huge fight that saw the valiant outnumbered Bogarus forces make their final stand against hordes of Marignon troops, fallen angels, demons, living statues etc. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Perhaps, but that is what it is. Its like a giant with a glass jaw. I'm certainly not going to tell you how to hit it right tho.

Congrats to Agartha on getting the Well up, btw! Thats a hell of a spell.

[Omnirizon]

well we can't take credit.

one of the Ktonian Necromancers is a philanthropist at heart, he just loves people. He wanted a way to reducing misery worldwide, so started the Well of Misery foundation to siphon the essences of misery away from the world. He considered the death gems just a side effect, never his goal, he's fulfilled just knowing that children are happier. He donates the gems to Argatha, and in return gets a large tax write-off.

FYI my laptop had a major malfunction this morning. I am hoping I can restore it and get my mostly completed turn for Alexandria but if not, there may be a delay. Will be on the phone with Dell tonight to see

[DonCorazon]

Video card is dead. Replacement on its way in 3-5 business days according to Dell. I need to get the Dom 3 CD tomorrow night and install it and everything else on an old desktop at my place. I could try and do my turn from my work laptop but that would be maddening (can't watch battles, can't double click units, scrolling map is painfully slow, etc.).

So bottom line: next turn will likely need an extension of 24-48 hrs. Sucks cuz I already had most of the turn done but didn't hit end turn / send it in so my apologies. Ironhawk, feel free to just surrender or at least turn those big flying kitties around.

Considering that 4th of July is a big holiday in the US, it may be best to simply delay until the holiday weekend is over, lest DC be scripting to the light of fireworks...

[Ironhawk]

No problem here. I'm going to be travelling tonight anyway so I dont mind a delay. Will give me a few days to see if I can pull any more rabbits out of my hat for TC to play with

[DonCorazon]

Rabbits are cool, it's the flying fanged fire-blessed pussycats that give me nightmares.

[hoo]

just a warning as of last night the deadline is still today.

[DonCorazon]

Thanks hoo - I am up and running on the old desktop but will need some time to re-do the turn. Since we are almost on the 4th of Julio, I am going to add 48 hours to the deadline. Hopefully everyone is cool with that.
