First move is done, get my hands onto a new town, all inclusive ..... (i.e. a wiz tower)

Artica - Day 1 :

Poor resistance in the town.
But the computer got incredibly lucky on a fight for a resource...
It will pay for that ... later

Ts

Artica - Day 2 :

I explore a little more.
Nothing else to report.

Ts

Yaka day 3

Resources captured in turn 2 brouht me a nice update to my new capitol. my troops are spreading. looking for more to capture

Artica - Day 3 :

...Troops Moving...
...Captured a Watch Tower...

Ts

Well ...

nothing to report...

Ts

captured a windmill, marching towards a small town

TS

Artica - Day 5 :

Moving forces to take a village tomorrow.

Ts

Yaka:

A Hero is hired for the storm on the neughbouring city... tomorrow it will happen... or not ?

Artica

A small village is now mine

Ts

Well, Yaka captured a village too. A band of frosties is crossing the river... hmm, we'll have have to deal with them somehow.

Actually, I just wanted to raze those Haste Berry Trees.
The Haste Spell is from the Air Sphere, so you Tigrans should not be able to have acces to it.
Now, everything is fine

Ts

Wo-hoooooww...
I see an important group of Tigran forces coming towards me!
Well well well...
Let's move back a little, preparing some nasty surprise...

Ts

... and who knows, what that tigrans are up too....

Well, this last turn shows how much I don't know about fights resolved by the computer...
I lost my Hero on a fight against the capital of Yaka

yes that was a close one, my wiz returned from the void and found some nice new toys in front of the city

Hum... Yaka's hero continues to steal structures from me.
I have to do something.
Crusade is the answer.
My troops leave everything behind and, led by Artica herself, rush to Yaka's Capital...

Ts

hmmm, shall i believe that ?

So you take my capital, hmm ?
I will do the same, so Yaka will rejoin your hero.
This is a hole switching side process, but I don't see what else to do to survive...

Ts

we'll see, a nice surprise comes to my mind....

not sure if this one will work as i thought....

Urh ?!?

My God!
Yaka destroyed his own capital!
And then he just killed himself by fighting me...

He will resurrect in my old Wizard Tower, of course, but still...

His Tigran units will not approve such behavior...

I think he already regrets that he did not simply sell the Wizard Tower... (like I regret not having sold mine when I left my capital )

It seems that I will never live in a Wizard Tower again... but my troops believe in me!

Ts

i thought most of the frostling troops were hiding somewhere in the snow.

Quoted from "Chascal":

So hadn't had enough time for selling the tower (too bad)

Now, most of my fellow Tigrans are near a revolt, this can change the tide again. not sure what i will do next

Hey ...

Yaka's hero is far away from his capital ...
Maybe it's time to take it back!

Another mistake for me : since my wizard can no longer cast longe range spells ... I forgot Yaka could still do it

Ts

I was really lucky today!

3 Tigrans units revolted!
And Yaka's Draconian Hero with a Manticore were just in front of my doors!
With more than 10 Frostling units attacking them, they are now history!

Ts

ok, two more turns until Artica will send me into the VOID again. My last move turns out as a very bad one. After revolting my Tigrans ran away and leave me alone with a bunch of frosties.... even my Hero get killed due to an accident , moving him directly towards the main frostling force....

Yaka's capital is in sight!
It seems he didn't have enough time to produce lots of units, but maybe some Frost Queens are hiding.

... waiting for the kill ....

My wandering troops were strong enough to defeat Yaka!
Even Artica herself participate in the battle.
How often does that occur ?

Thanks a lot for this game, Horza, I learned a lot!
But this was a really crazy match!

If you want to do a rematch, I will accept with pleasure, but I would prefer waiting like ... 1 week ?
I'm sure there will be 1vs1 pbem games in Shadow Magic.
So maybe we can play again with that new game, maybe on a different map, but with all the new stuffs.

What do you think ?

CONGRATS

sure, we can have a rematch soon.

i pre-ordered SM at amazon in germany. hope they will deliver it in time (strange they say it's release date is 29.8. ..... maybe they fixe that shortly i hope)

crazy game, yes you are right. i have to look more on the moral of my troops, first time this was such a problem in a game....

Don't forget to report your win....
