Re: Turn 22
And that's it for me, I guess. I wish that the cold aura effect wasn't so ridiculously resource-hogging; I can't even view my final battle, as it was taking five minutes per round to display. I did watch far enough, though, to see my pretender run out of orders on the sixth turn... and promptly start casting Blade Wind, when I had just barely finished researching Falling Fires in time for the battle specifically so that he could cast it. Way to go, Hollow Ataraxia. I guess the thing I did that contributed the most to killing me was placing the hundred Magma Children that I had summoned while under siege behind my other troops, with the expectation that the giants would have slaughtered everything else by the time they arrived at the front lines; they wound up smothering all my guys to death as they sat, waiting, behind the lions, cave drakes and earth elementals. I have no idea how they fared once they did reach the enemy, but apparently it wasn't good enough to keep my army from breaking and running. Do you have any idea what the casualties were like on your side, Atreides? I'd like to know how far my boys managed to carve into your fighting glacier before succumbing, and there aren't any after-action reports on castle fights.
