Just an FYI Torgon. He is in another game and we are looking to call in a sub there also.

I'm going to send him one more PM, if no response I'm going to start looking for someone to sub in for him.

Would you mind calling off your war at least for a few turns for whomever comes in?

Roger that. I've been submitting turns assuming nief would be would be (fighting) back. I will stop further expansion into nief provs but do plan on continuing a siege initiated a couple turns back when they were active. Sound fair? I can resubmit tonight.

It looks like Yomi's gone AI. Don't really blame him as we was going down pretty fast and was about to loose his capital.

yeah- my best defenses didn't hold and it was about to go from 2vs1 to 3vs1.

I really didn't have any answer to your army set-up Torgan. i think that maverni, especially the way you played them, are very good at taking out yomi.

So yeah, i went AI- figured it wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.

Yep. I'm actually not really sure how I'd counter what I was doing as yomi. A pack of level 3 priests plus 4 or 5 level 5 priests is going to absolutely ruin your best forces. And the other option of switching away from demons and to conventional forces isn't a great one either as marv's troops win without much of a contest against bakemono and bandits.

Only thing I might have done differently is research targets. You had construction 4, but that alone really isn't enough to make Dai Oni scary. They just die with a bunch of gear on.

I might have gone for some evoc w/ a little conj first. A bunch of Hannya's and Dia Oni's hurling fireballs and flares with phoenix power would have put a pretty big dent in my army. Alternatively you could have raced up Enchantment for skeli spam and flaming arrows. Skelli spam probably wouldn't have overwhelmed my troops, but it would have distracted mages from your expensive demons. And flaming arrows w/ bakemono archers is pretty devastating.

agreed - though in my defense i did have a plan - it just required a tiny bit more time to come to fruition.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I (Arco) will go AI this turn. Abysia and Pangaea destroyed me and there really isn't anything I can do.

Torgon · #10 April 15th, 2012, 04:42 PM

Yea. Just saw the big drop in gem income this turn. I'm guessing they just took your capital?

Which one (aby or pan) ended up taking it?
