I just wanted to chime in quickly with my thanks as well. Very enjoyable reading the AAR. Can't wait to see how things go for you!

Ah I see, I guess my first game will be against 5 difficult AIs on a small map, all set to agressive, the next game will be the same, but the AIs will be defensive. I would like to see the differences between these various AI behaviours.

I forgot the old dictum that an army marches on its stomach. When Devasura crossed the border (with no resistance) he began to realise that these lands did not produce enough supplies to feed the army. Immediately word was sent to those forging magical items, and they started work on a couple of endless bags of wine.

In the meantime Devasura had to withdraw, to ensure that the troops don't starve. Hardly an auspicious start to a military campaign!

I am summoning an Asp Turtle - a fearsome beast of the depths who will fight under the water for my cause. I am also tasking one of my Yakshinis to come lead my underwater armies, while I return to land to oversee the war there.

In Dom 3 the AI seems to once again have somewhat large armies (for example Vanheim's army that was sieging T'ien Ch'i)...

oops I just realised that I got ahead of myself - I haven't posted this turn yet...

One of my Markatas witnessed a battle between Vanheim and T'ien Ch'i. T'ien Ch'i attacked Vanheim to try to break the siege on his capital.

Eh, yeah, Vanheim is looking fairly strong.

I am heading back to the capital to oversee preparing the army for what they're going to have to deal with. As soon as I get back I will be summoning another Siddha, to bless a second army group. Bags of wine are being ferried to Devasura et al. Everyone is busy.

Where did that lightning come from? =o?

I hope you can deal with the supply trouble. I bet those big units eat a lot.

st.patrik · #**188** September 7th, 2006, 11:51 AM

I think it must have been a thunder bow or spirit helmet.

supply will be ok so long as I can get some endless bags of wine (I hope!)

No important news this month. Dhritiman (the Siddha) found a magic site providing astral pearls, which is good; an administrator in one of my provinces decided he needed to increase provincial defence by 20. I am back in the capital and calling another Siddha. Devasura and friends are moving back into the province they took from T'ien Ch'i, once more on the offensive.

Last turn I summoned an Asp Turtle, a powerful aquatic beast:

Oooh! That sprite is quality stuff!
