MP: Procyon - One age - Started!

[analytic_kernel]

Thanks. If it makes you feel any better, the massively parallel Hierarchs of Arcoscephale meant to enslave that 110 D gems worth of Tarts, not flush them down the void toilet. Thirty-nine Astrologers spamming Soul Slay was plan B. (Pardon me for saying: it was like watching a microwaved bowl of popcorn kernels explode into nothingness at a picnic.) Whatever gets the job done....

Also - you may have noticed - but the good people of Arcoscephale aren't exactly flocking to Frosty the Slow-Man in droves. Probably your recent treatise on the virtues of genocide has something to do with it....

With the fall of Ermor this turn and the complete absense of what was left of his dominion you are about to see my dominion increasing a bit faster so you might be speaking a bit soon about the dominion.

[PsiSoldier]

Well my dominion may still not be encroaching on your lands yet but you might have noticed a sharp upward spike on the graph for dominion. Once the dominion vacuum of Ermor's old lands has been filled you might see something happen in your own lands.

P.s. Thanks for the leprosy. I'm returning the favor to ya about 6 fold.

[analytic_kernel]

Nice war we've been having lately.

[PsiSoldier]

Yeah you have done pretty well considering. I tried last turn to overwrite your Arcane Nexus with my own and failed wasting about 300 Pearls too..

[PsiSoldier]

I dont know how much longer your dominion will last out though. Its starting to drop at a pretty good rate now.

[analytic_kernel]

Well, I think the dom has been getting killed mostly from that stroll your pretender took through my territory, and now by your prophet with the Ark. That prophet is one nasty SC, btw - I bet I'll lose some Ether Warriors taking him out if they get the chance.

And, yeah, I'm also surprised I've lasted this long. Given that this is the first MP game I've ever played from the beginning, I didn't even expect to be in the "finals".... I'll see how many more fun experiments I can perform before I get overwhelmed by sheer numbers and incomes. :-)

When it comes to globals, I'm apparently my own worst enemy. I won't be protecting important mages with the Pelt of Fenris anymore, now that I fully understand the berserker effect. If you can't take down my globals, let me take them down for you.... (I would have kept Sylvanos out of battle, but it was do or die time as far as breaking that siege was concerned, since all those Tarts were starting to tear down my defenses.)

[PsiSoldier]

Well there are a few other things happening with dominion too. Silly me having just realized I have all those priests sitting around that can be blood sacrificing... I was having too much fun trying to kill them with the Ankh and get Reanimators I didnt even think about just having them blood sacrifice instead. Ive been spending all my Blood Slaves on Vampire Lords but I suppose I could just cast a Big Astral Corruption and Wait for the Dom Kill to play itself out so you cant really use the Gems you get from the Nexus. Which would also mean no more Tarts for me but Oh well.

With me having 49 temples and building 3 more this turn and setting about 30 priests to start Blood Sacrificing I dont think your 5 temples will hold out for long.. Your dominion had only been holding out so far because I hadnt yet hit the 10 candle mark in all those provinces I took from LA Ermor but that is coming soon. But you have made the last few turns interesting at least. My policy had just been to contain you and to wait for Dominion to grow but you have done a pretty good job of throwing out your oppressors

[analytic_kernel]

Well, it looks like this game is about over - I don't think my dominion is going to hold out until turn 100. Might have been able to make it if I had managed to snag the Ark after your most recent prophet's sudden disappearance.

I am wondering how many stealth units you have equipped with Stone Idols or whatever. Kudos for finding a way to achieve victory when the military option wasn't working so well.

[PsiSoldier]

No stone Idols just a lot of black servants and Bane venom Charms.

Speaking of which... Something screwed up.. You should not have been able to mind hunt the last bunch this turn.. I had empowered one of them in Astral.. Your Mind hunters SHOULD have been feeble minded.. I dont know what happened. In fact the one that had been empowered in Astral was even mind hunted. Doesn't make sense.

I wished for a pretty special unit with Stealth that Has Astral as standard magic though so If I was ever able to use him and it doesnt appear I'll have time you shouldnt be able to mind hunt his group..

But it looks like it will be over next turn considering your capital is now under my dominion and you only have 1 candle left which is in a province belonging to me.

Too bad the Horror Seeds I planted in your Mage's will not have time to work The mage's that killed my Prophet have taken a little something something back into your capital with them this turn Not to mention your Trolls in Grandfather and their Horror seeds.
