Pro: I found The Ultimate Gateway (Conjuration Bonus: 40).

It's kinda painting a target on yourself, isn't it?

Eh, I dunno - you mentioned finding a library;  personally, I'd call sages a much more juicy target than a conjuration bonus that's inconveniently located.

D'you wanna trade?

Could I get an extra 24 hours?

Of course - The game will now host at 10:56 GMT on Wednesday August 2nd.

Seems C'tis is getting a taste of its own medicine, its nice to see a little justice.

I expect more globals to go up soon, but who can tell - getting violated by 3 early game I'm left with very little research and all that...

I just learned two things:
1) Trying to trample sea trolls underwater doesn't work too terribly well.
2) You can win a battle just by being more stubborn than the other side. Eventually, if they can't kill you for long enough, they just say "fuck this shit" and leave.

Ahhh... Auto-rout. Isn't it a pain?... Fun fact: If something keeps units from both sides on the field for long enough (Like say, a Golem or Marble Oracle... Basically Mindless Commanders or just simple units blocking each others retreat (and them failing at killing each other)) after auto-rout triggers, the game just starts killing off units at random until only one side remains... I've had it happen once to me, if I remember right... (It was quite a while ago, to be fair...)
To be fair, if a fight's gone on that long, it's almost certainly an endless stalemate. A sanity measure for that scenario makes sense.


EDIT:.....Ok. So it turns out I will either need an extension or will only be able to get my turn in at the last minute (Not literally but close enough...) Could I get a handful of more hours? That's all I'll probably need...

What's up with Happery? That's some mighty procrastination habit right there. Never misses a chance.

It might be worth noting that it's considered good manners that if you're the last person to get their turn in that you should play the brand new turn that shows up in your mailbox a couple minutes later - makes it so that any given person will only hold up the works every second turn, instead of constantly.

It's at or around turn 100. The magic turn numbers are 50 (attackers rout), 75 (defenders rout), and 100 (autokill).

Immobiles - and to a lesser extent, berserkers - are other good ways to bring these numbers into play.

And with that I am gone. Twas an interesting game and a lesson on the kind of maps I like

You put up a great fight - I shudder to think what you could have achieved if you hadn't been locked into such a tiny area.

I lost (far, far) more giants fighting you than I did taking out all my independents and Fomoria combined.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Even with my size if I had just a couple more turns so that when you attacked my research was done it could have been very different.

[Il Palazzo]

Thanks for playing, Akhier!

[Jilladilla]

I'd certainly believe it. Either way, you did good, and I hope to see you again in another match in the future.

Randomly: I've got a Caveman province under my control, so I now have the option to recruit either a Horite or a Caveman. Horites cost 20g/1r, while Cavemen cost 25g/1r, Cavemen get +1 attack and defense skill vs. +2 HP for the Horites.

Not that I'm going to recruit either of them, but I found it surprising that two visually identical units would have different stats.

[E. Albright]

Identical?!?!? What are you talking about? That beard, receding hairline, and grey loincloth make a HUGE difference in a fight, as the stats show.

(Why yes, I *have* spent far too long staring at Dominions sprites...)
