EDIT2: WTF!!!!!!??? I cast "Summon Hellpower", the guy actually cast "summon hellpower", but nothing happened! I want my slaves back! Ok, since rollbacks are more evil than R'lyeh, I won't ask for one, but WTF!!!!!
And Pangea, know that you would have lost if my either hellpower worked like it should, or if I actually knew how it worked. Remember that.
Yeah, that was a bit weird. Although Hell Power is only blood level 1, it has a fatigue cost of 300, meaning that a level one bloodmage won't be able to cast it (Even if he powered himself up with the one bloodslave he'd be allowed to, it would still cost 150 fatigue, and mages never cast a spell with more than 100 fatigue). If you watch the replay, no bloodslaves were consumed nor did the blood magic sound effect play. He cast bless instead, though why the log says he also cast hell power that turn is beyond me.
As for you winning otherwise, I'll admit I got lucky. I hadn't intended that army to fight anything other than province defense and certainly not the significant Gibbor force you deployed there. If I had, there would have been more than one mage in attendance.
Also, Midgard, Ow, my ankle's bravery is admirable, but trying to solo a province when your protection stat is zero is never advisable under any circumstances. Did you just want a different prophet or something?
