Oi, guys. Here's the thing. I'm feeling pretty burned out, and the prospect of managing a huge slugfest with Ulm is making me queasy something fierce, especially since RL has been somewhat turbulent as of late. I talked to Ragnoff and he seems to be feeling more or less the same.

It's a nasty thing to ask after such a long wait, but would it be o.k. with you all if the two of us went AI? This ought to allow the rest of you to continue playing relatively unobstructed, as the continents are not directly connected.

Would that be an acceptable move? I'm pretty sure me and Ragnoff could muster up a bit of grimdark determination to drag along for a while longer, if that's what you deem necessary.

Oh, I just want to have that clash in our southern continent and after that it's fate is decided as well. If I lose I won't be able to muster any resistance.

I should probably go AI too, I'm down to 2 provinces with Ulm on one side and Kailasa on the other.  I probably won't be making a glorious resurgence from there.

Can we get the rest of the people here to comment on whether they're o.k. with the north going AI or not?
I suppose in the absence of objections that's what'll happen.

I'm effectively dead, didn't go AI just to watch Fomoria and Abysia duke it out so i'm completely fine with it.

Yeah, that sounds okay - I'd be fine with us just getting the one last major battle fought, then call the game.

So - 15 or 30? Given that I've yet to win a stand-up fight against your main army, I certainly wouldn't mind if you gave me the advantage, but I'm willing to be generous and give you the choice of battlefield.

And... done. Only had a single pair of winged boots to turn one of my Formian druids into a (very) makeshift SC, using all the knickknacks I'd picked up, forged, or otherwise obtained. But hey - who knows, maybe he'll be the MVP of the battle. (He will probably die as soon as he attacks)

Whatever the outcome, I'll probably throw the turn up on dropbox for anyone who was interested to watch the battle, see what I was up to, give criticism, etc.

My army will be just classic Abyssia, don't expect too much.
No hidden tricks, not tactics, just fire.

Edit:
Well, despite my horrible positioning, there wasn't much I could have done to turn it around.
Well played.

So do wo declare the game for finished, or is anybody still playing?

Yep, good fight. The mistformed fire protected water elementals pretty much carved through your army almost by themselves - my unmarked were actually mostly in the way, as far as actually killing your guys went. That's a combo I'm going to have to remember for the future.

I think we've lost pretty much the entire north, so I think we may as well call it.

As promised, my turn file: HERE

I'll see if I can come up with an AAR soonish.
