Did Tom get a sub for this game?

Oversway · #**373** February 20th, 2006, 11:32 PM

I read in an other thread that his laptop died

Wish · #**374** February 20th, 2006, 11:50 PM

he got a sub for titans, I guess the sub isn't also doing winnowing

...26 minutes until he stales :/

he staled, but you don't hear me complaining.

Tom, since you can't get on, I'll let you know how it went, I broke your siege, with a loss of 1 magus, about 18 out of 43 spirit demons, and about 11/26 infantry/horsemen

you lost all but 5 javelineers, 2 gyjas, and 3 shaman (all your nifels and jarls died. sorry)

heck i'll even be nice enough to let you know I used about 8 magus communion master/slaved to counter you magic duel strategy. your duelists suicided, basically.

LOL I think a lot of words could be used. Nice wouldn't be among them though =)

I did not sub Tom as in the other games, as I was involved in this one and thought it unfair to play two parties. IH had the password, but looks like he didn't find a sub. Well, one turn of stale should not ruin a full game ...

see wish - that's interesting. it has been claimed that communion does not help in magic duels, but i've remained dubious - how many duel attacks did he make, against what, and none were succesful? if you don't mind providing the specifics...

Wish · #**380** February 21st, 2006, 11:16 AM

one was succesful, a tie actually, so they both died, she killed 2 astral magi in one shot - i guess I had them standing to close to eachother, all of them actually only master'd at the time. The slave spell came too late, so I guess it was luck of the draw.

I ran tests in a side game with 1 celestial master vs a number of communioned shaman. Once there where 8 shaman they seemed to be able to kill him more often, so I think the communion does play a factor on comparitive astral levels. but I could be wrong.

Since he was the one magic dueling, the best defence i could think of was a wall of astral mages, equally communioned - which is easier to research in a pinch than magic duel is.
