I must say, I thought that Manifestation would be a risky move, but more because I thought that it wouldn't be able to kill the imps or because it'd decide to turn on my caster; not because my ashen angel would get picked off by Dust to Dust.  :-\

In other news, three cheers to Herminius the Scout, the man who defeated a water elemental with naught but his starting equipment! (Admittedly, a pretty tiny water elemental - but even so!)

70 turns of nothing, then suddenly Eater of the Gods : /

Mwahahaha! They said I was mad - mad! - when they saw what I'd done! I told them they'd rue the day, but oh, did they believe me? Fools, all of them fools!

(Needless to say, I suddenly feel unreasonably vindicated for sacrificing that very-useful mercenary mage...)

(And the best/worst part is, 4/6 of its attacks add more horror marks, so the longer it takes to kill you, the more likely you'll be to see it again...)

Right, 3h to host with 2 players out, and I'm less than 24h from getting on a plane and need to shut my rotten computer off and finish getting ready. Pushed 240h, new hosting time ~2100 GMT 7 July. See yinz after the 5th...

[Quickhost is off, BTW.]

Welp I staled.
I must apolagize for my tardiness lately.
As I've mentioned before my work has taken on most of my life lately.

How on Earth did you stale?!?!? The turn wasn't supposed to host for 10 days. I am thoroughly confused. Also, resetting next hosting to the 7th, making sure quickhost is off, and then getting off my computer to finish packing if I have to tape all my fingers together to do it...

Okay, quickhost is definitely off, and both the game page and admin log show a 192h delay to hosting. Interestingly, it doesn't show the prior change, so maybe the server hickupped? Quickhost WAS off though, so I'm just confused. Anyway. Going. I'll send AlStar the admin PW just in case some nonsense like this happens again.

I'm not going to say that this was the worst turn you could have staled, but it was pretty damn bad.

(Any turn is not good, but one where you're at war is worse, and one where you're in the middle of fighting using guerrilla tactics and there's an enemy host bearing down on your capital...)

Just a reminder, game on, and a turn is due in ~27h.

I don't know what happened but I had a few units on break siege.
But it did nothing.

If you're talking about your capital; the vampires, at very least, definitely came out to play. If there were supposed to be others, then I've got no idea.

Had 3 vampires to break siege. And one from another province drop by as well. Seems the break siege got cancled by the normal moving one.

That was certainly more entertaining to watch than last turn's battle in Tzicapa.

:D
It's my own fault - I'd gotten so used to just steamrolling over your troops that I didn't even bother to refill the gems on my mages or send in a scout first to see what I was going up against.

It's also the first time I've ever seen Vafur Flames in action. Nasty.

Did you get any goodies? I don't think there were any artifacts in that army, but there should be plenty of earth boots, water rings, plus whatever was on the King.

I think I got most of it.

You got lucky. I thought hellpower would generate way more and powerfull horrors.
