I'm pretty boned by this point...

[gman8181]

Completely unrelated but I find it slightly sad that out of all the nations in this game, the only ones I genuinely enjoy and play well as are EA Ermor, EA Rlyeh, MA Ermor, MA Pythum, MA Marignon, LA Ulm and LA Marignon.  I never seem to do that well with any other nation .

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   At least you like multiple nations. I go for Tien Chi all the way. If round 14 gets off the ground then I will have played all ages of Tien Chi. The only game I won't have played Tien Chi in is 13 and thats only because of using the NationGen mod.

[gman8181]

Well to be honest, all of those listed nations excluding Rlyeh are practically the same.  Ermor and Pythum have the exact same troops and both rely heavily on astral magic (specifically communions) and evocation to play them right.  LA Ulm has different troop types but I still always go with the Ulmish shield infantry which are basically Ermor's main unit with a different weapon and then backed once again by communions and evocation.  Marignon also has the typical shield and weapon heavy infantry that I'm fond of and again uses communions and evocation to back up the troops.  Both Marignon and Pythum have the same special angel summons as well.

Rlyeh is the only one that stands apart from the others and to be honest, it's my least favorite of my favorite nations.
But even still, it employs a lot of astral magic.

Well, that was embarrassing.

I failed to take a province because my commander got hit by an arrow. Didn't even kill the bastard. He just got hit and the army fled. He was the only one to take damage and there were only 3 guys left

I had this happen in a single player game. The commander in that instance was a Velyiki Knyaz who took an arrow or crossbow bolt and immediately retreated. That one hit gave him the Battle Fright affliction, so I wonder if that causes an auto route on commanders.

Maybe, but he got no afflictions, so it might not.

Battle Fright will certainly make it more likely for them to fail a morale check, but just getting injured enough will force them to make one.

Sorry to interrupt you folks (and for those of you who remember this from my post in Round 11), but in case anyone here who isn't currently in Round 10 is interested, one of our major players, MA Pangaea, just left without notice. Pan is certainly either #1 or #2 (depending on what measure you use). You'll have both Mother Oak and Enchanted Forest up, the largest army in the world (because maenads), the third-greatest income and second-greatest gem income, the largest number of provinces, and no wars, so you have a diplomatic blank slate. You have elemental royalty at your beck and call and by far the greatest research. This is a powerful position to get some experience with the late game (it's turn 70), or some experience with blood magic, since you have recruitable blood mages (though capital-only, so they are limited).

I usually don't try to sell a position like this (and I've posted here searching for subs, so you've probably seen my schtick before), but this is a genuinely great position. I'd sure as hell prefer Pan's position to mine My only cautionary note is that this is a vanilla game, so it is a somewhat different experience from CBM. Just PM me if you're interested or simply want to take a look. I'm happy to oblige.

Come on guys, three of you staled?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Its sad and we could technically rollback if they need it as long as not too many people have submitted their turns. As it is only one person has so its should be possible.

[Duuvian]

Whoops, my bad, no I don't need a rollback, I was doing pretty well so missing one turn won't hurt me very bad. I was distracted by trying to merge StA with the Something Awful Planetside 2 outfit, or at least that's my excuse. To be honest I totally forgot to check my email until I jumped out of bed just now saying naughty words as I had just remembered.

[ThtblovesDF]

Hey guys, my bad.

Lots of RL stuff keept me busy, I'm back for playing, but I didn't get a turn file mailed for turn 15 yet (last one is 14, which hosted sometime aroudn yesterday)? If you found a sub - awesome, let him play, if not, I'd need a turn resend somehow? mail; spezialist_tom@yahoo.de

Sorry

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

resent

[ThtblovesDF]

Alright, while I'm quite massivly screwed by mictalian, its not all lost. Maybe more then losing some provinces to him, is the lack of expansion, since now several nations have a dead grip on me, with very little space to expand left. We'll see how it turns out, but at least my pretender showed up : )

[Duuvian]

The Velyiki Knyaz known as Putin died last turn while leading Bogarus forces against a strong independent square before I could get him enchanted swords to fit his Heroic ability (agility I think it was). He personally slew several heavy cavalry and more impressively a flying demon or two.
