Depends on how much it aligns with my own goals, but yeah I might fully skip on that or do it until I hit a dud. We'll see.

I don't think I'm suited to PBEM. I'm too nice. I just wanna hug y'all.

Except for T'ien Ch'i, who thought it'd be appropriate to start aggressions.

No hugs for you!

New Turn:

C'tis stoped its research (growth) a while ago, so ... a bunch of mages going to war?

Then again, all Army Size Charts for this turn are growing, so... big things coming up. Research Goals being hit, I assume.

Not here. No clue what is good research and what isn't :P Just getting a bunch of stuff, but nothing compared to all of yinz. Any guides to magic you would recommend?

You don't need to be mean. Just make friends, you'll get reason enough to fight and backstab then. Other than that? I find that some sympathy goes a long way. We're all here to have fun, but I will admit that at times, when you're on the losing end of a beatstick, it's a very frustrating situation to be in. I mean, I'm currently at war with Micro, but prolly in a few turns we'll be shaking hands, win or lose. Hopefully anyway. I did a really sneaky thing as is.

We're both air nations, so the typical critical path for us is Conjuration 2, evocation 5. That gives you a solid grounding (heh) for summoning storm power and casting storm. Then you go with evocation spam. Caelum specifically also has storm immune flyers, so it seems the intended path.

Heh. Spreading out defenders and centralizing them just before an attack doesn't work so well. They just run into the fort and hide while those who were there already fail to deal with the problem.

There's a move-and-patrol order you can use to get them to stay outside when they arrive. :)

For an air nation the natural path is to go straight for storm power > lightning strike spam. (or was it thunderbolt? Whichever is stronger)

Storm boosts the effectiveness of that, doesn't it? (But you can make a staff of storms as an alternative)

I think you need a storm to use storm power.

Aw :(

... It's not too terrible though I guess. My scouts have infiltrated Caelum society and are getting plenty of proxy birdman hugs for Fishgod.

I meant boosting the effectivenesse of lightning spells, but I was mixing memories up: Storms don't affect lightning spells, but they do power up storm demons' lightning attacks (They have 'storm power 3', which isn't the same thing as the storm power spell, because reasons).

Still, if you have an air 5 caster and have finished researching construction 6, you can make staffs of storms, not have to send an air 4 mage with your armies, and enable your mages to cast Storm Power on turn 1 (normally it depends on how soon your guy casts Storm, since everyone before him can't storm power until the next turn - fortunately move order is deterministic so at least you could script them for that).

So Man and Eriu just had a big tussle. Nobody gained provinces over it, so I'm wondering- who was the victor?

Hmm, well done Oceania - your wasteful attack on my province managed to intercept half of my attack on your province, causing it to fail. If only my shadow blasts had killed a couple more troops, I would've had it.

Hrm? Not sure how you got info on what type of battle it was without knowing who the victor is. Doesnt sound like you have a scout or even vision on the province.
