The battle at Belmar sucked (a lot), but I can deal with it.

I'm really annoyed at Wynna though - I had your entire army dead-to-rights there. We were steadily killing off your troops, and would've killed them all if my morale hadn't mysteriously broken while my troops were feasting on sleeping giant.

I probably shouldn't be revealing this to players I hopefully will be facing in a new game soon, but that is exactly why I prefer Beserking as many of my troops as soon as possible.  None of that silly "I wanna go home" stuff.

I will freely admit that I did not expect 4 points of PD to win against a 140 gold mage and 60 corpse constructs. Let's hear it for a lucky arrow against a diseased commander!

Why would you even use corpse constructs, especially amass them?

[E. Albright]

Because they're very strong for how cheap, easy, and quick to amass as they are.

Please don't tell me you don't use Lightning Rods/Storm Spools/Storm Staves and so only create one per gem per casting? The 60 that died in that battle were from 10 castings of the spell, and hence cost me 10 gems and 10 A1D1 mage-turns to accumulate (not counting pre-manufacturing infrastructure costs for Rod(s) and Spool(s), but that has served to produce far more than just those 60)...

Unless you overbuff them, they seem to die like peasants.

[Frumple]

They're really good arrowcatchers/chaff for their cost. Just... kinda' useless as anything else. They die about like peasants because peasants have roughly equivalent combat stats outside of morale and HP. And the strength, technically, but you're not exactly going to be hitting much with 8 attack.

In other news, you okay, Enigmatic?

But they don't run away like peasants.  Pretty much their main advantage.

[E. Albright]

Well, they also laugh at lightning spam and are tiresome to kill in melee. They're good at what they do. Which is "be quality chaff". No one should ever mistake them for line infantry, but they're quite nice chaff.

[BFEL]

They're the chaff that all the other chaff dreams of being one day.

Yeah I'm good.  Got distracted by something in life.  Thanks for asking.

... Augustus is dead
All what was left is dead :/
The nation's most powerful mages have lost all insight and are stealing gems from the laboratories !
God help us ! ... Oh wait, God is dead :/

[Il Palazzo]

Yeah, sorry IWIWS! I kinda waltzed in your parts of the river without saying anything. But you know, there can be only one frost father. Good fight you put up there, though.

By the way, I think Santa Claus might be changing... something is stirring deep inside him... Santa Claus has evolved! He is now Satan Claus, and tentatively declares war on everybody in the world!

I won't say that I wasn't expecting this

[E. Albright]

On the subject of unexpected things, how am I still alive? I expected to be reduced to my puddle and domkilled 6 turns or so ago. I appear to have done too good of a job of skewing the cost/benefit ratios of conquering my rocky sandheap...

[Frumple]

*shrugs* I haven't really felt like trying, and I think hobina got... distracted.
