CBM Oceania is a decent nation, not what it was in vanilla.

More than a little alarmist and misleading, unless of course your definition of 'out of thin air' is somehow code for a huge investment in research and gems.

Pretty rude too, since I've been pretty nice and helpfull to you all game... I suspect the main reason though is that I beat you to Earth Blood.

Guess you'll just have to make do with Mother Oak and GoH, which I expect will be along shortly.

And the only buff I can see in CBM for EA is an extra random on the Kings, not sure that even makes up for the loss of natural clamming ability.

By the way, since I've gone to a lot of trouble to have scouts; I actually know, rather than just guessing, who's in the prime position at the moment. But strangely I don't feel the need to spew it out in public.

As for your 'suggestion', well, thanks to Ragnarok, I think that most of the other players will realise how horrid fighting my sacreds will be underwater, espescially when backed up by Kings, and that I'm still not a major threat to them on land...

Two globals. Two gemgens. One of them being the second best gemgen in game (the first being Arcane Nexus, and that says something).

True, but you`re really the biggest fish in our small pond currently.

Never was a part of my strategy - too much Agartha/Marverni in this game.

Guess you'll just have to make do with Mother Oak and GoH, which I expect will be along shortly.

Maybe. Or maybe not. Pan doesn`t really need GoH, you see - all Pan forces have recuperation and very long lifespans. And no native Death access in EA to leverage tartarians.

So we totally should give you time to leverage your huge multi-gem income into endless streams of Wendigos and Hidden in Snow. Yeah, sounds very smart.

[Ragnarok-X]

I think by now its perfectly obvious how strong Oceania is, income wise and and bless. I dont think any one other player does have 3 fully equpped SCs making landfall.

No native death magic genius...

Grabs popcorn, settles in for the show ....

You only need 2d on your god to craft a skull staff and summon first wendigo. And then in several turns it`s big enough to summon another wendigoes. It`s not like tarts, where you need to climb all the way to D7 (so you need either a D5 pretender, RoS/RoW or unique scepter) and then not many of them are capable of summoning each other.
But even if you don`t have D - grendelkin are fine too. Or you can get into D game with krakens. You have more than enough W gems for it.

I say old boy, jolly decent of you hanging around and all.
Many a lesser chap would have just said "tally ho, I'm off" and gone to blighty...what!

[jimbojones1971]

Most amusing turn.

I managed to nail one of Marverni's (=Ragnarok X's) marauding armies, with a bunch of communioned druids in it - overall, a quite satisfying victory, except that he nailed my pretender god on turn 2 or 3 with a soul slay. Well done, buddy - revenge for me nailing your pretender a few turns back :-D

Also, there is this tongue of land about three provinces wide to the south of me. Lanka originally owned it. Then Pan invaded it, with a larger army - but once you are in the corridor, there is not way out (unless you want to start a war with another country) - so then an army of Lankans followed the Pan dudes up and trounced them. Then Pan did it back. Then Lanka again. And now a HUUUUGE army of Pan dudes is marching up the corridor. Truly, this most excellent viewing :-)

[Ragnarok-X]

Well, honestly, i would have expected a few more kills. Of course, once the druids started to target your guys with amulet of anti-protection and to make it worse decided to cast blade wind, it all went to hell. But, at least the Snowman is no more

[Shardphoenix]

so then an army of Lankans followed the Pan dudes up and trounced them

In fact, they didn`t. I was sneaky.
