Playing a forum game on another forum, that is adored by everyone playing it. My own God of Fire, Epithus (who was originally based on Donut but drifted away into being something else), has a neighbour called the Kai. Epithus helped some of the Kai's people during a centaur crisis due to a Mad God called Kuriosolinus/Lysso, and they converted while remaining good, tax-paying citizens of the Kai because they liked that I had been nice to them. The Kai accepted this once I opened marble trade with him. Later, I sent some of my preachers towards an area of various worshippers, and he said that he'd claimed it already. After much arguing, he showed me a PM where we had agreed this, and after checking to make sure that he was telling the truth, I relented and redirected my converters to be priests in the previously-mentioned Epithus-worshipping Kai's citizens area.
Now, he requested single combat with me over this area of land. Since he's bigger than me, and I didn't particularly need it anyway, I declined. However, he had sent some plans to the GM, and when the update came his god marched into my city with an entourage of centaurs and told me I could either fight him in single combat or have my city levelled. I obviously had no choice but to accept.
I was planning on using good tactics and agility, as well as the fact that he had slight maluses to his power because of his Pantheonism, to defeat him. However, his brother Orubashi has decided that he can't allow his brother to fight alone, and is joining in. This makes it a combined force of 2,400,000 followers behind their team, vs 800,000 followers behind my team.
Yeah.
My solution to this is to attack as many of their cities as I can, to feast upon their fear and weaken their faith in their gods. I'm hoping they'll either be lured out of my own city or have only one of them fight me at a time, but it's just as likely that they'll counter-obliterate my own cities. I really have no idea why no one is willing to help me out here, so I'm just hoping I'll make it out of this alive.
