Meriadoc Day 1

Great!! My very first battle was a disaster! I may very well lose the game because of this

Perregrin, day 1 :

An intersting story comes to my ear. It seems that an enormous Red Dragon has attacked the army of Meriadoc and killed lots of his soldiers!!!
Damned those Halflings and their stories : truth is always different from what they tell.

Meriadoc Day 2

Moving troops (what's left of the disastrous battle yesterday)

Perregrin, Day 2 :

My little Halflings are busy with wind mills and other stuffs around my capital.

Ts.

Meriadoc Day 3

Another battle today, this time I only had minor losses

Perregrin, Day 3 :

Producing troops, and troops again, and more troops ... lol
Ts

Meriadoc Day 4

Preparing for another major battle... (everything is so well defended that there is no small battles on this map)

Perregrin, Day 4 :

Yeah I know ... so far, I've been quite lucky : 4 units have reached the 1 hp limit so far!

Ts

Did you get the turn ?

Yes, I did got the turn, but somehow I must have forgot to play it, sorry about that...

Meriadoc - Day 5

Good news, the battle today went well, losing only one unit in such a difficult battle was quite good.

Perregrin, Day 5 :

Interesting battle today too.

Ts
(no problems. It's just that in 1vs1, I usualy play 1 turn per day, that's why I asked)

Meriadoc - Day 6

Just moving troops...

Perregrin, Day 6 :

Indeed, moving troops!

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 7

Another battle... and again I lost way to many units, the Lady of Luck must hate me for some reason

Perregrin, Day 7 :

Meanwhile ... Perregrin is gathering a strong army to invade Meriadoc's realm ...

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 8

Just moving troops...agian

Perregrin, Day 8 :

Infidels will probably attack my army during the night ... I hope my party will fightt well!

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 9

Two battles today, and not a single unit lost! Things are going much better now

Perregrin, Day 9 :

Humph ... I thought infidels would attack anyone in their movement range, like Area Guard indies do.
But it seems they prefer run away when they know they will lose!
So I guess I just have to send troops after them.

Ts

In my expricense infidels never attack anything, but likes to run away...

Meriadoc - Day 9

It seems like me and my enemy is doing the same thing... Hunting infidels...

Perregrin, Day 10 :

I've won 2 important battles today!

Ts

Perregrin, Day 11 :

Dear Merry,
Too bad for your little spy that I found an Eye Diadem in the Ruins near my capital...

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 12

Got revenge on the fairy that killed my settlers.
Hunted down the last infidels but the quest reward was not quite what I had hoped for...
I am going to lose this war

Perregrin, Day 12 :

Damned!
The enemy Hero find out where my Fairy was concealed.

Was it so obvious ? (maybe these were the only trees around).
True Seeing too ?
Luck ?

Anyway, I'm still powerful, and Merry weak.
I'm probably going to win this war.

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 13

There wasn't a lot of other trees around and my hero was moving in that direction anyway...

Perregrin, Day 13 :

My Hero captured an small village.
Now he's moving to Merry's capital.

Ts

Perregrin, Day 14 :

Took one windmill from Merry.

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 15

Just waiting for the invasion..

Perregrin, Day 15 :

Well ... err ... you've gathered quite strong units in your capital, Merry!
Efrits, Sherifs, Druids, etc.

And I think I need 2 more days before being able to attack!
Maybe this is going to be a long siege after all.

Ts

Meriadoc - Day 16

Well Pippin, you didn't expect this to be that easy did you ?

Perregrin, Day 16 :

Dear Merry,
Are you sure you don't want to surrender ?
:-D

Psst: Nice move, Merry, but you've lost all your enchantments now!

Meriadoc - Day 17

I had very few enchantments anyway..
Just waiting for the final attack and hoping for a lot of luck...

Pippin is victorious!

I'm sure it has been a tough fight, but I really think I couldn't lose it.

Do you want a rematch ?

Well, if my stupid troops had just killed your druid and spiders early in the fight they might actually have won... (but I would most likely have lost the game anyway)

If you want to see the fight just load the game again you will then load my turn, where you can see the fight.

Yes, I would like a rematch.

Ouch ... yeah ... indeed ... bloody fight.

I hesitated before attacking you. I had 20 valuable units, but most of yours had silver medal (and even 1 or 2 had gold I think).

Maybe the best solution for me would have been to raze the wind mills and to simply wait for reinforcements (I was producing Eagle Riders in my capital). And of course some Elves from your village in the south. That and a few summons and the final battle would have been won without any doubt. (Because now, I really think I could have lost the fight, with a little more luck for you)

I think your army fought very well, with only a few misses, while I missed a lot in the early beginning of the fight. And about your palissade : so many units to just break it! Grrr. Did you enchant it ?

But as you said, even if I had lost the fight, I don't think I would have lost the war anyway, because I had more ressources and villages than you.

And the surprise is about the Spiders, as I thought they would be killed quickly. But finally, they helped a lot for the victory!

Anyway, let's play another match.
Same map ?
Do we switch side ?

Ok, lets try the same map with differed sides

Cool.

So I will play first with Merry.
I will let you set up the game and send the first turn to me. (I hope I will do a better start that you did).

I hope you still have the map. If not, I can resend it.

(Btw, what happened during the first day ? I only know that you lost your Hero...)
