Got bored watching my enemy build his forces so I attacked..... ..... ...

GAME OVER

1 down....

ts

good game SB.

And here we go.

ts

unfortunatly phobius' damned succabi are destroying me little by little...

they have already razed a furnace, a watchtower, 2 mines, an earth node, and my dark elven city! and that doesnt even count the men i've lost!

so, just how bad do dragons suck in SM?

well, my hasted one fell easily to 3 goblin darters without even killing 1 in auto combat!

that should NEVER happen!

TS

(I gotta start working on my mod again... )

Red dragons are in fact a _lot_ weaker than they used to be. They are still better than nothing, but they will lose to most other level four units. I've depated building nothing but flyers some games. Its just that dragons feel so good.

killed a manticore

ts

Hehe, those succubus have been gits for me too. They were okay until they crossed the river then they rebelled, leaving my once pretty well defended hero on his lonesome!

succabi say goodbye.

ts

-----

yeah, i saw them and your abomination get upset, and was hoping they would rebel... now i'm not so sure it was a good thing though, since they razed a ton of stuff on me before I could get defenders back...

they even wiped out a dark elf village with 7 defenders in it... that set me back a bit...

damn!
our enemy beats us to the catalyst we had such plans for!
we take it out on her crusher though...

TS

Seeing what killed my crusher, I believe discretion is the better part of valor.

chasing the stack who stole my catalyst.

ts

I continue to be amazed at just how _slow_ hydras are.

again I underestimate independant forces with drastic results.

TS

running, running

despite the slow hydras, we cut the chase short... don't want to get muyself overextended chasing an already very powerful stack...

TS

Very annoying that I couldn't get that stack back in range of the reinforcements. And the hydras are going to drive me stark raving mad having to wait for them to haul their scaly asses along.

I've gone from magnificent to average in just a few days time, while Ambir has skyrocketed in the opposite direction, due to conquering dungeons and the like.

we learn.

TS

2 of my hunters took a chance on assaulting a lone hero, but failed due to Ambir's comets.

ts

killed a fire elemental

TS

Took out the offensive force that removed my elemental, and retook my best dragon city. However there is a large army outside my halfling city which needs to be prepared for.

great... multiple air galleys, 1 filled with hydras and fire elementals.

TS

Yup, my production lines took awhile to get going, but I'm in full swing now.

our enemies range is even better then we had anticiapted, so we lost a slightly scattered stack of decent troops.

we made up for it today by killing one of their heroes...
should not be too much of a concearn for my opponant... she is very used to losing heroes apparantly!

(how many have you gone through? 6-8? I just dont understand why they are so willing to sign up when the previous heroes have died so often! lol!)

ts

Many is the hero willing to die for something greater than themselves, including the noble Draconion cause.

Alas we lost another city today, to meager forces but forces enough. Retribution will be had in good time though.

(I'm not sure either why I keep getting heroes after losing this many, but I don't argue)

its kinda funny watching my poor frosty swordsmen running away from a fire elemental...

TS

trying to get prepared for the 'galley o' pain'.

ts

I see a good amount of preparation for the galley indeed. Unfortuante that, but the qustion of qanitity vs quality will need to be answered soon.

Its been answered.

TS

That it has. Very unfortunate that. I cost my opononent nowhere near enough for the losses.

with my defeat of the "galley o' pain" on the fields outside of my dark elf town, and Ambir's failed attempt to retake her halfling city (losing QUITE the stack of troops to my assorted stack of misfits), I'm now the 'magnificent' again, and my enemy the average. Of course, it was not long ago that I was thought of this way, while Ambir was considered 'weak', so I know how fast the fires can shift.

Our guarison in the halfling city was also cut down to practically nothing, so we expect it to be captured on the morrow. It appears that soon the boundries will return to as they once were, and both sides will build up for another round of blows.

TS

a series of sneak attacks has appeared to hamstring Ambir's army...

first her 4 slinger fail to hold her draco town, then her air galley and 2 knights fall, and my hero takes out 2 draco flyers for good measure.

other then perhaps a few hidden units, we seem to have secured the area around her capital... its just a matter of time, now.

TS

Things are looking grim again, after a brief season of hope.

the small trap I laid for ambir's guarison didnt work as well as I had hoped.

we lost 3 good units, and only managed to kill 2 of her scrubs, and wound a knight, who will be fully healed by a sanctuary by morning light.

Still, that leaves the capital's forces at Ambir and her knight, with most likely another knight joining her ranks tommorrow.

we have a much larger force coming very soon...

TS

...and here they are.

after seeing that Ambir had only a knight, fire elemental, and herself in her wizard tower, I decided to attack a bit prematurely wit honly the stack that could reach her capital this turn; 4 knights, doom bats, and my level 2 hero, who was decked to the gills with my best artifacts.
in the end, I was victorious (although I WISH I could have seen the end battle!).

TS

good game, hiranu! you had me on the ropes there for a little bit!
I dont suppose that you can send me your turn after you look at it (without the password protection if you put one on previously), so I can watch the end battle, too? Its such a pain in the arse that the 'victory' screen pops over the top of the final battle, and you have no way of rewatching it!

In fact, it was a very good game, though it started and ende dmuch the same way, with my being stupid.

I've forwarded you the last turn so you can check out the last battle. Pretty much you wiped the floor with me

Congratulations greenmonster! Are you two up for another game? Similar settings? (With more resources near me hopefully )

Oh and:

Due to problems with Yahoo can you please send all turns to the email address below (though the Yahoo one will still work).

Email: blackgoat@corpusmundi.fsnet.co.uk

yes and no... I'd love to play another with you guys, but I'm WAY too overloaded with games right now, and even more swamped with real life.

I just bought a house (closing on the 26th!), and I'm getting married in july, so I have alot of stuff up in the air right now.

until I either get down to 1-2 games, or get back from the honeymooon, I can't start any new games.

I'll take a rain check though!
