I will send the turn out today evening/tomorrow afternoon.

Edit (09/13): I did say I will play this yesterday but I couldn't. I will definitely be sending out the turn today evening and there shouldn't be any more delays after this.

Gruumsh - Day 1

Seems the rebel army will be entirely made up of mercenaries...where are those people who will fight (and die!) for free?

Plans to stop the rebellion are underway. Afterall, I did not kill my father just to be crushed by some puny rebellion!

The day started off badly with my troll being killed in a bad run of unlucky shots. The rest of the battles went better, however, as Furio would be able to attest to

Furio, Day 2

As expected the rebellion is growing fast. But my men fear not, they know I have a plan!

Spreading rumors of the rebellion losing a mighty Troll fills our men with confidence. Battles are fought fiercely and no one is lost.

In hindsight, I should have spent the money to upgrade my slaver right at the beginning. Damn fellow hasn't done anything useful.

Furio, Day 3

Blast! In the dream I had, we did better in battle. Alas, it wasn't a complete disaster at least.

Turn sent

Entire system crashed mid-turn and upon opening again, got the restart message. It kind of sucks because every time I would try to do this one manual battle, the restart message would pop up and after I clicked ok and then manual battle, nothing would happen. Over and over it did the same thing. Hopefully it doesn't cause much of a difference.

We land on the Moor in force. Gruumsh may die overnight though I have taken care to place him out of indies' way - he has only 3hp though

Gruumsh - Day 5

The body count for Furio is increasing...an efreet, a zephyr and a frog were put down. We do see enemy domain nearby so a counter-attack might happen overnight.

Furio, Day 5

Ahck, I failed to notice that a spy has True Seeing! In a desperate attempt to get vengeance, I tried a daring attack... and won! Killed off two Spies, Frog Rider, Pirate, Lizard Spearman and Transport Ship without losing any. However, I just about lost the only 2 units who attacked! I've ordered the men to retreat and look to their wounds.

Gruumsh should be pretty stalled in the southwest for at least a couple days.

Gruumsh - Day 6

Well, the losses were expected but also expected the enemy to lose at least one or two units - the violent storm was a nice touch. Anyway, there is no stalling there. Tomorrow, we recruit Tongue and will start cleaning up the area - Furio better bring in reinforcements if there are any.

Furio, Day 7

Captured the town again.. it is sad that our nearly dead Ranger could not hold it against a Gladerunner! Anyways, I razed it to the ground. There won't be any counter-capturing it now!

Our hero is not lucky. He's just got mad skillz.

Gruumsh - Day 8

The plan worked to perfection. While Furio was engaged in the south-west, my hasted units with the aid of a hasted tunneler made it through to Furio's dungeons and with the the help of the troll there, defeated Furio while he was taking a walk.

Gruumsh had enough move points to secure the Heart of Hope's End, putting an end to Furio's tyrannical rule.

Final turn sent. Good game, Travis. Btw, what were the stats of that hero always hovering near death but miraculously escaping every time?

Furio, Last Day

While out patrolling with some light troops we were ambushed by Gruumsh himself. My men and I were no match for 3 Heroes and a Troll. I am sent to the void, permanently.

Aww man. You must have planned this very thoroughly! I feared a breach in the prison in maybe 2.. 3 days, not today! You must start with Haste? Well, it was an honor to get my butt kicked by you.

I'll describe him fully, Petric had..
15 Attack, 13 Damage, 11 Defense, 10 Resistance, 22 HP, 45 MP
Shadow Shift, Self Destruct, Strike, Blurred, Energy Drain, Holy Protection, Holy Strike, Leadership I, Mounted, Resurgence, Shadow Walker, Walking, Water Concealment, Water Walking, Willpower

Not a true Uber Hero, but he was well on his way. Would have leveled this turn too

Anyways, hope to not meet you in any other rounds! Lest it be the final round haha!

It would seem the Timelord has altered time itself and beat me so quickly! Yeah.. that's what happened!

Nah I didn't foresee it. I knew that this map would be the one I personally did worst on. It's farther away from the normal standard maps. Not to say it's a bad map mind you! I actually like it and someday would like to play it with someone more down on my level

I would have chosen a very different strategy!
With Haste available on day 1 and library being offered from the first prod resources, Haste took 2 turns to research which was well within the first 3 days when Gruumsh was hasted through hasteberries.

Without haste, I would have probably chosen to move directly over to the archon lands over water in the north or go through the underground. Sneak attacks were my top preference for this map though.

Travis did do some unexpected moves, especially with that invisible hero of his. I thought I was a risk-taker but that hero...
