Nice offensive Boski, but you must have seen that turn going better for you.

Maybe so, but I found a magic site that lets me recruit markata in the round 10 game so I've come out ahead.

I think you should focus more on your round 10 game.

Thanks for the extension, whoever did that.

[Karlito]

I extended it for myself.

[Il Palazzo]

So, I'll be invading somebody soonish. Just saying.
That somebody is probably Atlantis and Ermor and then maybe the rest of the world.

Also, Boksi: I understand insane scouts attacking my provinces from time to time, but whyfor the ones with sound minds?

I'm replacing my scouts with dudes holding soul contracts and stone spheres. It's more commander efficient and gives me better information. I'm withdrawing most of my remaining scouts to serve as blood slave ferries but I figured that even if the scouts in your territory weren't insane, they were seriously far away and my upkeep was, and is, killing me, even with my massive income. Yeah, I realize now that killing off two scouts isn't going to put a dent in that. I also forgot that Elven Fortress connects to Eataine connects to Lasheik and Cothique which connect to my empire, so I could have had that scout return fairly quickly. Playing Dominions 3 while distracted by illness and worrying about the impending time limit tends to cause poor decision making.

Considering my recent losses due to your disease demon attacks, my heart really bleeds for you.   

I'd also like to point out that my recent thug initiatives were a complete failure.  Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Can't be worse than Jomon's attempt.

I'm sure I lost more gems than Jomon.  After all, I put approximately 50 gems into the thugs alone, not including the equipment.

And I've figured out how the disease demons work: Spend 5 blood slaves, get ethereal flying demon to attack schmuck.  Almost impossible to counter.  The best case scenario is that the demon only scratches my unit, which means a slow death instead of an instant one.

With the loss of momentium, it is official: I'm only still in the game because I've got nothing better to do.   

[Karlito]

Hmmm, my experience with disease demons has left me feeling that they're not all that useful. They cost 11 bloodslaves and need a blood-5 mage to cast the spell, which means a previous investment in boosters unless it's your pretender, and there's generally better things to spend that mage-month on. The disease transfer isn't even guaranteed, after all that.

Considering I got hit with two of them, I doubt Boski has a shortage of blood-5 mages.  And in this case, they were super-effective: They killed a mercenary commander that was about to retake my capital, and my last capital-only mage.  From here on out, I've got little to lose, but they did their job.

[Boksi]

The trick is that they're assassins, so troops set to 'guard commander' help defend against them. Plus you can only choose which province they attack, not which commander. They're situationally useful, like a lot of spells are.

As for blood mages, my warlocks can theoretically reach B6 naturally, but that's incredibly rare. B4 is much more likely(~25% chance). Incidentally, I name them based on their randoms.
Fire: Water Shortage
Earth: Desertification
Astral: Peak Oil
Blood: Feedback Loop
And the guys who get a 10% random get special names. I've got a naming scheme for pretty much all my units.

Playing Dominions 3 while slightly intoxicated and in a hurry has similar impacts. At least I'm not missing turns so trades are going through.

Laugh all you like, Pan, but by this time next year you'll be my vassal, if you exist at all.
