What do you know, R'lyeh is experiencing remission of its connectivity problems.
Due to this fact, I'm going to sneakily postpone the game for another 24 hours, by which time I should have my turn in.

[Karlito]

Huh, that explains why I dreamt of 404 errors last night.

[Il Palazzo]

R'lyeh is back, with a vengeance. The first batch of escapee eskimo slave workers has been put out of their misery by the glorious armies of the mighty Broccoli. Praise the Vegetable.

I need to ramp up my propaganda to expand my fanbase - I've lost the lead in the polls!

[Boksi]

My scouts saw the battle in Lower Talabecland

The result wasn't so strange, but my mind is even more boggled at Gath's pretender design than it was before. I won't post anymore on that subject.


Also, I know this is a bit rude, but would you guys mind if I made a little mini-LP of how I think Gath should be played?

Yeah, I'm not really sure what he was going for either.

[Il Palazzo]

Don't keep us in the dark. What is/was so strange about him/her/it?

[Karlito]

Well, it sort of seems like he was designed to do a little bit of everything, and while flexibility in your design could eventually pay off in the late game, it's not as immediately useful as a pretender with a strong bless for the giants or rainbow-mage with paths for all the national spells.

Plus Booze's strategy apparently also involved hanging around outside the Capital without anyone to guard him, so I'd call that a pretty big flaw.

I wouldn't mind.  Go ahead.

Yeah, my pretender is based around the late game.  I figured my Giants could hold their own until then.

[Bluerobin]

Well it sounds like you may have lost your pretender? You don't lose if you lose your pretender though. You can even bring him back to life if you want (it takes 50 priest-turns and you lose one level in all magic paths, which may or may not be worth it).

That brings up a question, though. If you lose your pretender, what happens to a bless you may have? Does the effectiveness go down immediately or does it wait until you revive him/her? Or does it not go down at all, even with the reduced paths (like how it doesn't go up if you empower)?

[Karlito]

Or does it not go down at all, even with the reduced paths

This one. Bless is fixed at the start of the game and can't be changed by anything.

[Bluerobin]

Alright, pretty much what I expected.

[EuchreJack]

Let us have a moment of silence for Booze, the mighty God of Gath, vanquished by the evils of Pangea, and frankly also by my own stupidity.

[Karlito]

It's a shame there was no one left on the battlefield to drink his corpse.

[Boksi]

It's a shame there was no one left on the battlefield to drink his corpse.

Well there was that one Dryad. I don't think she could drink much of him, though.

I'd also like to remind people of my suggestion of a mini-LP. I was offering to showcase how I think Gath ought to be played, if nobody minds.

She could hardly have a Pangaean Drunken Orgy with only herself.
