Time for pitch #2. If someone else is willing to take over running this game in a few turns, I will send them all my remaining artifacts, including the Hammer of the Forge Lord.

I can do it - though happy for someone else to do it.

Easter Europe seems to be off terrorist watch lists, so I emailed my turn.

Great! My last fort's likely going to get sieged in 0-2 turns, so I'll send the stuff out as soon as I get around to taking this turn. Once my pretender is vanquished, I'll send you the full turn folder.

Sent all the items but Krupp's Bracers, you should receive them at the beginning of next turn.

Huh, I never knew that spell existed. I'm glad it does, though.

Turn sent.

I now have turn emails from everyone, but I have 2 classes and a long bus ride before I'll be able to access the computer with the game files. I estimate 8-10 hours until the game updates.

@korwin: It appears I am retarded, I will compensate you for my moronicness.

Excellent use of Opposition. It is capabilities like that that made me think I wasn't going to win in the first place.

What's this all about?

Frank has been raiding my backfield with Gargoyle thugs, and I had trouble dealing with them due to them being mindless and really buff, but it turns out enchantment has a save-or-die for magical beings, even mindless ones, called opposition. I finally managed to take them out by using it.

I'm kind of shocked to realize how far behind I am in research, and also how badly my dominion is getting pounded.

I did say it at the time

But yeah, the problem with Ryleh I'm finding in my other game is that aggressive action is risky, expensive, and unrewarding. So I'm turtling up.

Aggressive action is only unrewarding when dealing with equals fairly. Surprise is the name of the game in Dominions.

It's probably why people get so pissy about NAPs. You can lose a war in a few turns if your enemy is prepared and you aren't.

Sorry, I was pretty sick so instead of going home yesterday I went to my girlfriend's house. I should have my turn in in a few hours.

Yeah, have to agree with K.

Full disclosure: I was actually expecting an attack that turn, as all the signs were there. Hence the battle was less of a Patalan surprise invasion, but more of a Chelmian ambush.

I had gotten myself a NAP with Frank, meaning I had to give him warning before attacking him, but I managed to gateway ambush his initial attack with overwhelming friendly currents-enhanced force, and now I'm sitting around waiting for his vast naked lady defense force to starve to death already.

Turn 48 email sent. I missed the last file yesterday, but on the upside, the mod project Akula and I are working on is nearing a playable state. Need heroes now, and we could probably do a v0.1 release after.

Nice try with the Darkness and the Will of the Fates. But I think it's pretty clear that the invasion by Rlyeh is out of steam.

So: get the fuck off my land and we'll call it a draw. A draw where we burned down 2000 gold worth of your temples and you killed some of our gargoyles in inventive ways. I lack the ability to put enough force under water to make you care, and any tentacles you stick on land I can obviously chop off.

How did you beat him when he had darkness and will of the fates?

Overwhelming numbers mostly. Sure, we had our own will of the fates going and our own anti-magic, and that put a huge damper in his nether dart offensive. But really, the bottom line is that as Pangaea I can simply lose 750 troops in a battle and call that battle a victory without irony. Him losing 280 troops is just a bigger deal than me losing 750.

If we do that five more times, I'll run out of soldiers. But if we do it two more times, Rlyeh will be in negatives.
