Meh.

Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to target (or hurt) the giants

[HopFlash]

I get the impression you maybe underestimated the size/composition of my armies (presumably due to glamour) when you attacked me?

a bit but not totally.
But I underestimated the value of very high protection/defence (+glamour) against my low protection troops.
And I thought that my surprise backyard attacks would provide better results.

When I counterattacked I was really expecting to find that was just a light advance force and you'd have some nasty surprises waiting for me (or that you'd teamed up with Machaka and I was going to be hit on two fronts).

I hoped a little for teaming up with machaka but he calculated the winning chances right I think
so my armies were splitted up but you're right too I had to few in the backhand (and a blocking river was bad too).

I should have waited until someone else attack me instead. But I was in a conquering rush (Yomi land before).

Perhaps next time!

So are we getting rid of Wrath of God?
If you can't come to an understanding I'll deal with it my way.

[Il Palazzo]

Yes! Deal with it your way! It's a cheaper way than the alternative.

My alternative is recasting the spell.
Although I don't know how the replacement mechanics work.

And then you'll suicide the caster, right :p

[Mindmaker]

Sure, just let my suicide my pretender real quick.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?

It's on page 99 (and 100) of the manual.

Global enchantments can be dispelled in one of two ways.  The first is with an Enchantment-5 spell that is Astral-3 (that’s a spell that requires a skill of 3 in the Astral path, and is level 5 in the Enchantment school of magic) simply called Dispel.  The other way is to cast another global enchantment when there are five already active.  The sixth one will replace one of the five existing ones if it is successful in overcoming it.  The enchantment it will attempt to replace is random, so casting a global enchantment to dispel a specific enemy global is unlikely to select exactly that spell.  However, it’s better than nothing.

The exception to this is if you try and cast a global enchantment that is already in effect by another nation.  In this case, your version will try to replace the enemy version instead of trying to replace a random existing global.

Dispel mechanics  Whenever Dispel is cast or a global tries to replace another for whatever reason, the two spells are compared.  The total number of extra gems and the levels of the casters above their spells’ requirements are compared according to the following formula:

+1 for each extra gem (above the requirement for casting)
+5 for each level of skill by the casting mage in the spell’s path above the casting requirement
a drn (single open-ended die) is added to each side.  The side with the higher number wins.

Re-casting it with your pretender would just make everyone want to kill you instead.

Anyway, with Arco being the one who casted the Wrath of God, it was a pretender already.
His neighbours (so you included) can easily gauge how much extra level in astral magic the spell has (with the bless effect in battles), and as it is already quite expensive, there may not be that much extra gems in it.

you would need luck anyway, but you can assure that it you get it for yourself by spending enough gems. Enough being something you have to guess

Well I'm glad that casting it won't change anything then.

Eh, I only have two extra gems, so maybe it's not the best idea.

[Shadowlord]

You're not at war with the entire world!

[tompliss]

yet

[Mindmaker]

The southern continent is my entire world.

[tompliss]

Then your sky is falling, right ?

[AlStar]

So, Abysia, have I finally managed to kill enough demonbreds for you to stop throwing them at me? (Sending them against someone else would be good.)
