And then 2v1 once I crush you under my decaying boot.  :P

Given that I'm not the one struggling to invade someone who doesn't even submit a turn half the time, I think I can afford a little boldness.

I'm away from my computer and won't be able to get to it in time, could I have an extension until tomorrow?

Next turn IS tommorow, but whatever. Pushed by 24 hours.

I obviously meant I was going to miss the previous turn. Which I did. Thanks anyway.

Can I get a 24 hour extension? I am not feeling particularly coherent at the moment and I worry about getting the turn in on time tomorrow.

Ha I actually did 2 turns in a row.

I dread opening the turns after i missed a turn, expecting every province to be pillaged, but I return to the strong arms of the undead overlord carrying me.

Extension granted, yep.

God damned cowards. We had it, and then they ran. I'm picking an undead nation next. >:(
Congrats to Karlito, though.

Think you hit the HP auto route. If you're going to skellyspam, don't have normal troops.

Also, wow.

(Those are all assassins)

Thanks for telegraphing the impending gang bang, I guess.

At least it was an acceptable amount that got caught. Next turn will be interesting.

That was interesting, and I considered it acceptable that 8 out of 8 got caught.

Hm...revenge of the pd, or maybe soulless warriors are just that bad.

So that raptor mercenary group had a command called "fly attack" it doesn't seem to be an option and I can save it to the clipboard to paste onto my other troops. Anyone have any idea what it does differently then normal attack? or is it something silly like they will always fly into the air between attacks? That cant be it, the squad stays on the ground and even walks to its next target that is 1 tile away. I guess I'll apply it to several of my melee troops and see how it goes.

If it does have different behavior that you can gain even a marginal advantage from, it should be considered an exploit and you should stop doing it. I suppose there's no way to know other than to test it out though.
In prior versions of Dominions there was a similar exploit with the wandering group of heroes, Bogus et. al. If you mind-controlled the archer character you could copy his "Fire Commanders" order onto your other troops, the advantages of which should be obvious.

Ok, fair enough point that I shouldn't be testing it out in a multiplayer game, it is fairly repeatable, just need to wait for that merc group to show up. There has been a few bugs that has been popped up, like starvation not disappearing even after 6 turns.
