I didn't use my prophet, just one of my sacred leaders. Didn't go so well, but hey - can't win if you don't try.

Edit: Man, I am having the absolute worst luck findings sites - 8 provinces searched with at least 2 paths, and some with as many as 5, and all I've got to show for it is a Farm of Plenty and a Bile Marsh.

Eh, I gotta say, that arena victory was dickish.
Did we not agree not to use these amulets? Or was that only for assassinations?

[E. Albright]

Honestly, we never agreed one way or the other about them in any context. We did in 4.15, but there was not a whole lot of discussion about them in this round. If you'd like to petition for rules changes, however, go ahead and start the conversation, and we can see how everyone feels about it.

Having said that, my experience with arenas in MP has always reinforced the notion that arena victories have a nasty habit of being "dickish" more or less by nature...

[Il Palazzo]

Right, right. That was in the other natgen game.

Still, I'm all for disallowing assassinations with the skeletal amulet - it's just way too overpowered.

[EnigmaticHat]

I don't really care but I acknowledge that it is way too cost-effective compared to anything else you could equip the assassin with so I'll second.

[Frumple]

... to be honest, I'd kinda' be okay with allowing it. We have all of one native assassin nation on the field, and they're a race of hoburgs. They need all the help they can get. Maybe just allow it for turland, the poor tiny blighters. Be about the only use you could get out of a hoburg assassin, anyway.

[E. Albright]

I'm fine either way. My biggest object to the Amulet personally is how cheap it is in terms of price and research - it really probably should be at least Cons-2. 10d would also feel more reasonable. But that's neither here nor there; I'm okay with the stumpy little gits having skelispam or not for assassinations - I'll abstain unless we need a tie broken.

[BFEL]

DAMMMNNNN YOUUUU AUTO ROUT!!!!

I mean really, if ANYONE shoulda routed it shoulda been him. I had 30 morale to his 12. FUCKER.

[E. Albright]

We both had enough HP and regen to survive whatever damage we did to each other barring lucky bursts, and I could make skellies roughly as fast as you could kill them or they could kill themselves. You drew the short straw and were the attacker. That's the one and only thing that determined the outcome of that stalemate; had it been reversed, yes, you'd've won.

Incidentally, this deathmatch highlights a serious vulnerability of the various giant nations. BV helps to counter it, but as this fight showed, even that's not a magic bullet. Giants have a very low attack density, so if you can throw chaff at them at least as fast as they can kill it, you can at a minimum force a stalemate on defense...

This is like the #1 worst thing about Dominions.

[IWishIWereSarah]

Fhuamdar (boksi) stalled :/

And it looks like I'm the only one who received this turn late. Like "only now" late...

[Boksi]

Oh whoops. That was entirely my fault. I had plenty of time to do it and everything, I just plain forgot to do it.

[E. Albright]

*demonic crickets*

[EnigmaticHat]

Well that's... sinister.

[Frumple]

Not for you, it isn't.
