* Culise glances at turn
Huh, looks like a battle happened this turn...wonder how much...oh.  That's a bit of a divot in the Army Size chart.

Yeah... I saw that battle. It was rather painful to watch. And a lot of those guys where your sacreds too...

Epic battle, if you don't mind me saying. I was surprised how brutally effective thunder spam was against those dryad hoplites. BOOM BOOM BOOM death all around. And five Pans, ouch. Some nice use of battle enchantments, both of you. A marvelous fight. Worth every penny I've been paying that scout for.
Sure, Midgård lost more magewise. But as far as last stands go, he's making us pay a lot. And considering there were almost no troops to defend the mageartillery, I'd rate it a good show!

I did some quick and dirty math, Culise. You lost over 10,000g worth of units in that fight. Wow. A quick rerecruitment and once more unto the breach, am I right? :D

Thunder Spam is pretty damn brutal. Without lightning resistance it murders almost everything in the square it hits and damages the units around too. That's why I'm pretty jealous of Midgard's guarenteed A2 mages, honestly.

Guaranteed A2, common A3, and 2 air gems on an A3 gets me Storm, which with Storm Power makes every since A2 able to spam thunder.

Woo

I'm just sad I didn't get my blood economy off the ground. Just barely started getting my vampires started. I was hoping with my dominion I'd be able to guard with mostly immortal vampires.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

And here I am dicking around with A1 bastards. It's just not fair. Caelum is supposed to have good Air magic, damn it.

Caelum staled, sorry about that.
Since Caelum's not (to my knowledge) engaged in any open warfare at the moment apart from beaten down Midgård, I'm in favour of NOT doing a rollback.
But I'm no dictator here so I'm willing to leave the decision up to you guys.

Shit, I must have read the due-time wrong. It's okay though, no real damage has been caused. I'll be fine. The SUPERB OWL will prevail.

I guess that settles it then. Carrying on with the game.

Yeah, I didn't expect him to take the offensive; I thought he'd sit in the siegeworks, summon up chaff, and force me to go through the walls under constant arrow spam.  As such, I pulled off half of my mages without reworking their spells.  I'm definitely not going to be able to recover from this, but I'm still going to try. 

I'm pretty sure he would have won without my mass-berserks; the damage he did almost certainly went over the HP limit on routs.

Yeah I was surprised things stuck around until I realized there were berserks everywhere.

Well now, well now, we've lost quite a few nations, and on that note, it's Air Pangaea time again.  Remember, Air Pangaea, for all your aerial surveillance needs*.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

The Dragon Bar and Grill Club demands an explanation as to why their card holding members are still considered a flight risk. The invention of Rubber seating should be more than enough to compensate for them being flammable hazards.

We also would like to mention that we appreciate Air Pangaea for their work and accuracy.

Truly, the Throne of Eternal Suffering is aptly named.

The *moment* I wrest control of the Throne, does the wandering PLAGUE known as Bogus and Friends decide to attack.

The heroes have arrived! They wish to free the world from the yoke of whoever invokes the powers of Eternal Suffering.

PRAISED BE BOGUS!
