...actually, like as not that's a sign of diplomatic engagement.

[Il Palazzo]

As someone at the mercy of my neighbouring giants, I feel I should mention that it's hard to plot devious plots when one's not online.

In other news, I'mma gonna claim a throne of misfortune this turn. What's the worst that could happen?

Everyone decides to invade you?

[IWishIWereSarah]

Global misfortune +1, but nothing else, apparently. Disappointing :/

I imagine him just PMing everyone but me and Sarah going "HEEELLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEE"

[Il Palazzo]

Now, now, BFEL. There's nothing to gloat about here. Your tactical brilliance employed in this war can be summed up in two words: HULK SMASH!

[BFEL]

Hey now, while I admit that that is MOSTLY true, I do feel somewhat proud of baiting his doomstack into fighting 30 more giants then he was expecting to

[E. Albright]

Good point. Il Palazzo's characterization really misrepresented the true strategic calculations involved, which were more along the lines of: HULKS SMASH!!

[BFEL]

Well if YOU had 40 Hulks sitting around what are you gonna do? NOT tell them to smash?

[EnigmaticHat]

I have to congratulate your dying water elemental on giving orders even as he expired.

[IWishIWereSarah]

I must admit the combat summary for this one seemed a bit weird

[BFEL]

Ouch, nice. That was...fuck. I was NOT expecting that, admittedly.

Well I'm gonna have to rethink THAT now, but even so, haven't lost a fight yet

[Il Palazzo]

Whaaaaaat haaapened?? Tell me, tell me!

[EnigmaticHat]

I killed his army's only leader with multiple seeking arrows, but he reverted to his water elemental form, albeit heavily afflicted and at low health.  So his army did not route when attacked by an unsupported indy commander Fortunately the water elemental form is temporary so he died at the end of the fight.

I'm curious, if no combat had occurred in that province, if the water elemental would have been cleared away at turn end.  Or survived until the next combat and then been cleared away.  Dominions is a suprisingly tightly coded game so I expect all temporary forms to be cleared at turn end but its still pretty unexpected that it lasted that long.

Also I think it was his prophet so take that and eat it and then starve to death because you're giants and even that loss would not be enough food to feed you even working under the premise that defeat is something that can be eaten.

[BFEL]

Basically he opened with FOUR seeking arrows to my prophet (a sacred giant commander) which meant my prophet started the fight in his water elemental death form. So I'm down a prophet, but won the fight.
