Sorry for the blast of messages.

That sword was doing a great job of protecting you from remote attacks like Fires from Afar and Seeking arrow. I needed to remove it not only to give myself an advantage in the battle, but to open you up to Murdering Winter (even though you're protected with 50% resistance it still does a lot of damage in 3-cold provinces) and soon Flames from Sky.

Ah so it was Wish that did it. I learned the hard way what something like ROS can do to my poor mages!!

what is ROS?

Shardphoenix · #**504** July 21st, 2012, 07:52 AM

Rain of Stones, aka "Rocks fall, everyone dies".

does that work well? i was thinking of employing it in another game-i was ulm, fighting mictlan. thought maybe my heavier armor would protect me. instead i used my pretender for fires from the sky and he got killed-there was a dome.

i'm not making this sh*t up. i am really this bad. would rain of stones have been a good move? the armies were big(me-200 units, him maybe 350-400)

I would say so yes. Rain of Stones is devestating on lightly armored. Also can do a hit and run depending on what he has. Single caster casts it and retreats.

Also - 12 hour delay.

Ulm knocked out Bone Daddy in this game with his Dome of Fiery Death that was protecting his capitol -- even though BD had extra armor and a ring of fire (liches are susceptible to fire). Luckily, BD is immortal and bounced back the next turn, but I now have a no remote attack policy with my pretender. I actually had this policy from my first game when I unwisely mind hunted with my immovable sphinx pretender and got him feebleminded, but I really mean it this time

It's a good idea to try to figure out what dome someone might have and put in the appropriate defenses.

Wasn`t it, by chance, against EA Pan? A province full of Sages? Because it`s EXACTLY what happened with one of my opponents long ago.

IIRC, it`s ~16 damage to everyone. Enough to wound every enemy demon badly, at least. And kill some.

It was against MA T'ien in Santa in the Chimney several months back.

Matty,

Do my eyes deceive me or did one of your 1D communion boys cast Undead Mastery last turn? I knew communions were impress, but that's just scary. I'm glad my army didn't catch you last turn because I'm not sure I would have won with that in your back pocket.
