I need one, haven't been able to go in game. I'll do my turn tomorrow in the morning.

[chaoticag]

Roger that, dropped 12 hour on an extension.

Edit: we might have an issue on hand, the hosting didn't advance. Tried again, gonna email llamaserver if it doesn't work this time.

Nevermind, seems to have stuck this time.

[Jilladilla]

Right right, doing my turn now. Sorry guys, but I'll at least do a double this time.

[Frank2368]

Just used Acashic Knowledge on a province and not a single site  that's 25 gems down the drain

Never again

[chaoticag]

The only time I'd ever justify that spell is if it was on a throne province. Otherwise, your mages should be site searching manually unless you wanna take it safe and remote site search.

[ThtblovesDF]

I had a solid 30 tries before I got a single earth 3 guy and getting a air 1 guy took even more, luck is just messy.

It helps a little bit if you did some normal sitesearching, since you can focus on places that didn't show any obvious sites yet.

Acashic Knowledge can be pretty bad but it is great for long-term gameplans, like when you are playing R'yleh or other passive nations.

Typically you only target suspiciously empty Thrones or Wastes with that, as those provinces tend to have a more sites than average, it's just too darn expensive to justify otherwise. (And even then it's extremely iffy, would have to get events or unusual scales that point towards a particularly good site for me to cast it)

[chaoticag]

Also dang, my condolences to Mithras. Losing to domkill sucks, but at least you look like you put up a fight throughout the game.

[Mithras]

It was a pleasure to be crushed by better players. It's a pity I gave up the ghost to my own incompetance before I could eek out a final few turns of resitance. Special shout out to Jilladilla who played very well and capitalised on my very weak expansion, and to those who swooped in to save my bacon/prolong my inevitable destruction. Looking forward to dying again next time, I need to get gud.

[ThtblovesDF]

I got very mixed messages, with some players asking me to help you, others asking me to raid you so the others can't take you...

But we never shared a single border : /

[chaoticag]

A weird position to be in to be sure, I think they figured Ulm got big. I know when we got the message to loot Pythium the capital was being sieged, and I think managing to prolong things for Pythium paid off well for me. For a first timer, you did pretty good. Managing to survive in a situation where a bigger nation is bearing down on you for that long was good.

[Mithras]

Honestly, I threw way too much away in the expansion phase trying to capture provinces whcih were beyond my means, this snowballed. Also things I have learned, it's really hard to keep communion slaves alive when they have zero magic paths.

[Jilladilla]

Also things I have learned, it's really hard to keep communion slaves alive when they have zero magic paths.

True. You also did overdo the master/slave ratio early on too (Don't get me wrong, when an army absolutely NEEDS to die and it's the only way to make sure...), my advice for next time is focus more heavily an earth bless (more reinvigoration) or grab a major Nature Bless (Regen does wonders for slave survivability). Death bless really only lets them continue to act as batteries for a little bit after dying really. (Units at negative HP die at the end of combat unless they're perma-blessed, like a prophet, or have regen)

Although, I feel the main point of the communicants is either A: Turbo Communion, you want this spell up ASAP (Need a Crystal Matrix for it) or B: You need a really big communion NOW, of course, having enough of them will offset the fatigue issues.

[chaoticag]

Also, if you'd like to post your strategy and design we can go ahead and give it some constructive criticism. Fun fact, I actually have 4 or 5 nazca pretenders prepared for this, as I kept making and test different expansion strategies out before I settled on my current. A lot of pretender design is iterative like that, and can really shape how you end up playing. Taking a closer look at what you did and typing it up might help the lessons stick in your head, and since you had more experience than the first 12 turns you prolly have a lot of lessons you got just from this game.

[ThtblovesDF]

All my plans, dreams and hopes died when Pangeaa knocked on my door with a bless rush and my pretender died : /.

PS: You shoulda totally send all your stuff to me when you died Mithras ; )
