Gandalf's bl_peaked blitz

[Saint_Dude]

I think it is time that we establish a thread for the bl_peaked blitz. The competition in this blitz has been exceptional. While there have been a number of significant exchanges, at turn 56 the game feels as evenly matched as turn 1 (I am desperately hoping that C'tis is starting to crack a bit but it could just be wishful thinking).

I would very much like to know who is playing C'tis and Jotun so that I can commend them on their play.

I'd just like to suggest that you change the thread icon because I'm calling dibs on that one. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Envy.gif[/img]

I am playing Jotunheim and also commend my opponents for really excellent play so far.

I have picked up some good ideas while playing in this one. Thanks.

I'm just wondering why you two didn't finish me off when you combined against me earlier in the game.

In hind sight, we should have taken Jotun out when we had the chance.

C'tis and Shinuyama never had an actual alliance or NAP, it is just that we saw Jotun as the early threat and decided it would be best to leave each other alone during the early rounds. When it looked like C'tis was gaining disproportionately, I made the regrettable decision to take on both nations simultaneously.

It now looks like C'tis and Shinuyama have degraded each other just enough for Jotun to come sweeping in for the victory. Darn! This last round of globals is just brutal.

Hi.

I'am c'tis and i found this thread !!!

It was a very difficult game as we were only 3. 3 is very instable to play, 4 is far better.

I started to attack Jothum with shinuyama (not very motivated, shinuyama i think ^^) then this last evil god declare war on me and i had to fallback, fortunately with an intact army.

Then 40 turns of terrible war between me and the evil japanese demons...

The basic troops of shinuyama are terrible. (Armored heavy longbow archer, argg....) My unit are crappy relative to them. I had to used the last bit of power of my mighty magic sauromancer and of my deadly dominion to hold them.

I first lost my main summoned army (giants tugs and swamp guards) then had to adapt.
I was not used of this nation, as it is one of my first dominion 3 games. (I used to played dominion 2, but chtiss changed a bit, where is my serpent dancer !!!!!)

I managed to hold its terrible heavy archer troops using hundreads of battlesummoned undeads under the shadow of darkness, and i managed to block shinuyama's super undead and d�mon warrior with drain life....
I use also a lot my immortal pretenders and some wraith lords..

But, i'am currently cracking, yes... My capital is under siege and the force of evil will soon dominate the world.....^^
