Well, I didn't get every single army of mine wiped out, at least...*sigh* and I killed your important forces. I could give less of a shit about your horsemen.

It's really bloody hard to deal with such powerful armies of ranged troops that are that powerful. Only real counter to ranged units like that is good cavalry. With Mithral, I should be able to get some cavaliers, eventually.

So...Zanz, you'll trade some of that fire mana over, right?

Please? I really need some elemental mages to deal with his bloody Earthbender spam. Once I get some Hydromancers I should have an easier time of it, though; Water Shielding will really help, I suspect, as will Freezing debuffs.

Oh, and Krakens. Yeah. If I can manage to build them, at least.

So, let's see just how fucking badly I got screwed due to forgetting to move my armies up and shit the turn before last.

He lost...six dragoons and three mounted crossbowmen. I lost...four swordsmen, five halberdiers, four pikemen, three musketeers, and a level 1 elemental mage.

Fuck.

Don't be too disheartened, he hasn't faced the full blunt of your awesome paladin forces yet.

My four paladins?

Aye, I was building them up to fight the dragoons. Fat lot of good they'll do against the bloody Earth mages. I have to have a mixed Magic force for that.

...i'll actually have a pretty damned good mixed magic force if I can hold Orangeworld off a bit longer. Level 3 Life, Fire, and Water forces are pretty versatile and powerful, I would think. Particularly with accompanying 'mundanes'.

Don't forget: Water Shielding and Bless 3 stack for a ridiculous +7 magic defense. (Priests of Life upgrade to Bless 3 at level 3. Specialist mages really want to be level 3. All of them.) Also, keep in mind that Wizards can knock off the earth mage's +4 defense buff. (Wizards can also knock off water shielding and bless, but it's a lot harder, since attacks that deal no damage don't inflict debuffs like Dispelled.)

I know. I'm gonna need them Wizards.

I'm also gonna need them Hydromancers too, soon enough.

The difficulty, of course, will be in dealing with those bloody Dragoons, as they'll be what he sends to counter my forces of mages.

Which really just means I'm going to be putting basically all of my forces in a giant ridiculous clump and daring him to fuck with it.

If/Once I beat Orangeworld, I'm going to probably have Earth Mana at my disposal, in addition to Life and Water mana.

I will be the Romans; Occupy, Defend, Win.

  Rome fell to lesser forces and imploded in it's own corruption and politics. Not the sort of thing to strike fear in your enemies.

  And what if he ignores your forces and/or bides his time while gathering his resources/building up his forces?

Rome was also the longest lasting empire in history and had an elite fighting force few were able to match.

And again, like I said. Occupy.

Plus, i can build up forces just as much as anyone else, if not more.

Just waiting on Zanz.

Yeah, the waiting game wouldn't really help me more much more then it would him. At best it would simply delay our battle, because if we wait long enough then we have to start dealing with the winner over on the western front.
