Even after the successful defense of Battlestation One? Well that's ok, we hate you too.

Pyrric success, maybe.  I lost half my army in that fight, even one commander.  Course, you lost three, which makes me estatic about the battle.

[Korbac]

If any one of the three of you trying to gangbang Gath wants a piece of me instead, you're welcome.

Either that or I reach 100% fort saturation with my admin 30 castles. Delicious.

My guys....might have to flex their muscles for a bit. Judging by the total army size of Ermor, my PD wasn't very succesful in fending them off.

While I appreciate your willingness to act as a decoy, The Secret Alliance of Good Avatars (SAGA) would be better served by your launching a sneak attack sometime after this post is forgotten.

I'll say.
I have also learned several things today:

• My prophet is an idiot, and will only cast 1 of the 2 major buffs he can, even if it hasn't expired yet (i.e every gorram turn once the scripting ends)
• The adrenalin of being chased by enemies gives retreating units enough strength to break through the ice covering the oceans (they can still travel there, just not on command)
• apparenly I have no idea how hit points work:

  srsly, WTF?
• Or scouting:
  
  Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  
  18+103-1-50=70 which isn't even close to ~100 (the wiki claims scouting will sometimes miss units, but never make up new ones).
  

All in all I expect to gain at least half of the XP need to advance my "dominion player" skill from this turn.[/list]

Pretender gods and prophets receive bonuses to hit points, strength, and magic resistance in friendly dominion, and penalties in enemy dominion (quoted from the wiki). I haven't watched our battle yet so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing the screenshot is from your prophet?

edit: Oh wait...25-20=65. That sounds a bit weird No idea, maybe one of the priest buffs?

I don't know about this one, but my stealthy units might have caused this maybe? I'll tell you more once I've actually opened the game

It's because the dude came from a province where he had high dominion and thus 65 HP. The HP didn't go away, even though his max hp were lowered.[/list]

[Karlito]

There's always the possibility of a large percentage error in scouting reports. I don't know what the wiki says, but I've seen them deviate up to 50% of the actual number.

[Bluerobin]

Yeah, I've always thought scouting reports were accurate within a percentage on either side of the actual number (plus or minus, not just minus).

And the hit points thing, Boksi nailed it. Pretender/prophet hit points max hit points are calculated based on the province they're attacking, but their current hit points can exceed the max if they came from a province with higher dominion. It can cause some unfortunate issues of being more likely to get afflictions since those calculations are based on your max hit points. If you have 20 max hp, but 70 current hp and get hit three times for 20 hp, you'll survive but you'll also probably be crippled.

Are hit points taken from the previous turn (plus recovery) or this turn, but before movement? This could be important, if something changes the dominion a lot (like the enemy god being next door).

[Bluerobin]

I don't know, but dominion changes are calculated at the end of the turn, so I don't think it matters.

Edit: Oh, but apparently preaching happens at the beginning before magic battles?

[Boksi]

You know what really annoys me? Casting 12 site search spells and finding nothing, and then a manual site search does find a site.

And it's a Brigand Lair

[Korbac]

BRIGANDS? GG guys Boksi has the most OP troops in the game.

[a1s]

Speaking of brigands (and boars) when the game tells you you need to send send in some heroes to clear them up, how do you do that? Is it just patrolling?

[Bluerobin]

Yup. It's not guaranteed that you'll find them, but it shouldn't be too hard. I just know that most of the time the number of troops I need to patrol with makes the actual battle trivial.
