This game is turning into micromanagement hell.
I hope those Wind Riders die in a literal fire.

Being annoying distraction is our national sport.

I'm sure he's got a dozen more armies just like it, but it feels good to finally win against R'lyeh in a stand-up battle.

My only regret is that my troops decided to go after the many water-bottled elementals instead of the fleeing slave mages. We easily could have killed twice as many if my air elementals had taken after them sooner.

Spoils go to the victor, and I'm now the proud owner of 3 bottles of living water, a water bracelet, and an amulet of the fish.

edit: Although not a perfect measure, since I used a fair number of summoned troops, gold costs for the fight were 2699 gold for R'lyeh and 945 gold for myself.

edit^2: By the way, if you don't mind me asking - did you actually expect to win that battle? Before this turn came up, I gave myself 75/25 odds of getting to my castle, only to find you'd slithered off into the sea.

Well it's not like i expected another outcome but i'm confused why my army from the fort didn't take part in that battle. Movement rules are confusing.

In completely unrelated news (alright, related since i need my dominions fix) , do we have enough willing people to make another round ?

I woud thin so, especially if you don't mind a smaller scale one :
4.05 stopped a while ago, 2 players lost in 4.07 (went AI less than a week ago), I lost in 4.06, and it looks like other players would soon join me in hell,...

Don't hesitate to set up the 4.08 thread

Here's the relevant bits from the manual regarding the order of movement commands:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

9. Magic rituals

All mages cast their rituals in a random order

10. Magic battles

All battles caused by magic are resolved. For example, commanders taken
away by Wind Ride or teleporting to an enemy province fight now

21. Friendly movement

All movement ending in a friendly province takes place now. If you are
trying to get to a friendly province before an enemy does, you will do it if
you are not stopped by an event that takes place in steps 1 through 11.

22. Other movement

All other movement, including Break Siege, takes place.

23. Resolve battles

All battle resolution from movement happens here.

24. Castle storming

Castles are stormed and battles resolved.

Did you order your guys in your fort to 'Break Siege'? Based on my understanding of the manual that should have combined your forces for a battle.

I might be up for a small (5-7) LA game.

[tompliss]

I would love a small LA game. With Ragha banned.


PS: putting an option on Man

[lijacote]

I'd be totally up for another game, since both 401 and 402 are over.

[HopFlash]

nice...then I will see if I can be better with fewer experiments in 4.08

[Shadowlord]

Alas, my Hyena Clan Witch Doctors apparently decided to completely ignore their script and not bother to cast Control Undead, or Terror, or Leeching Darkness. I think that probably cost me the battle. Especially the lack of Control Undead spam.

Still, killing 302 enemy troops in my last real battle isn't a bad way to go. (I have a few provinces left, but I doubt that will last long, since I only have a token force running around there)

[Mindmaker]

I wouldn't mind a new game.

[tompliss]

Alright, I was bored. So I set up the new thread : 4.08 game !

Players apparently want a "small" game (5-7 players ?), so you should hurry if you want to be in

[Mindmaker]

That last battle hurt.
I just hope it hurt you more than it did me.

[Antur]

Wish my ponies understood that rearmost means rearmost not front line infantry. I forgot to move them to the front so i suppose it's bit of my fault really. I believed rain would shut down firestorm due to fatigue but it seems it was not enough.

[tompliss]

I think units set to attack rearmort/archer/large/whatever-is-not-closest don't go there if they can't go there using a (nearly) straight line.
