I lost all of my relevant armies, and will be wiped out in 2 or 3 turns, so I'm going computer controlled.

GG all.

I've also set T'ien Ch'i to AI. It's still in a vaguely defendable position, but with other games and real life stuff, I simply don't have the time to keep up with this game.

It was fun beating R'lyeh underwater, but it was costly in gems, leading to a gem crunch in the late-middle game. Using Celestial Masters to search gave me a good gem lead in the early-middle game, but by the end, I was lagging behind Ulm with its rainbow pretender and Ermor with its vast territory. I blew a lot of my astral and nature income on fruitless ashkic records, dispels and globals.

Forge of the Ancients kept me in contention for a while longer, but it couldn't help my lack of money; whilst Ulm and Ermor were throwing up temples and forts all over the place, T'ien Ch'i could barely manage to recruit enough mages.

I've nearly finished my turn and it will be send in 3 hours.

Edit: Turn sent.

Next turn underway.

I am still in the game, but i dont to lots of micromanagement any more, im just trying to bring my last armies to battle and let them fight until ermor enslaves them. Most of my economy is now used to supply ulm.

My next turn will be in on wednesday evening.

I've some project work to do in moment and i'm very happy about this relaxing turn frequency!

Oh, nice...

I've had an unexpectedly busy weekend, and was feeling slightly bad for delaying the turn because of that, but apparently it's all YOUR fault we're delaying. I blame YOU, calmon, and only YOU!

I'm industrious, punctual, and innocent!

*** Disclaimer ***

The following reaction is waaay too late, for which you have my apologies. I blame the fact that I managed to take on too many games, expecting to be eliminated in some, and not quite realising how long playing one turn would last once endgame was reached, so I have been struggling to actually play all my turns, let alone conduct diplomacy in a proper fashion, or contributing to the respective game threads. Anyhooow:

*** End of Disclaimer ***

In the name of Ulm, humanity and the world as a whole, I wish to thank the nations of Man, T'ien Chi, and Agartha for their brave attempt to support us in the deperate struggle for survival against the vileness that is Ermor. First offering the blood of your sons and daughters on the plains of battle, and then, when that proved futile, by sending invaluable supplies of war to our embattled nation.

After the disintegration of our empire under the relentless undead onslaught, (ooc: for those with little scouts in our area: I've been reduced to a mere 15 provinces, plus 8 besieged fortresses) your much appreciated contribution is the only thing that still keeps us going. Alas, even with that help, the situation is bleak, very bleak. But with your support we managed to outfit an unstopable army, and we'll show the generations to come what it means to back Ulm into a corner! We will put up a resistance that Ermor will never forget! (ooc: after a private message to Calmon asking him if he was still enjoying the game - which he apparently is - else I would have been willing to write a nice declaration of surrender here. But since he's still having fun, I'll bleed him as much as I still can)

With much appreciation for your effort,

Ulfrida, Lady of the Rock.

As we said before, R'lyeh supports Ermor. Tien Chi robbed us of our future, and we repaid in kind as best we could. Do the ashes taste bitter? Oh yes, we forget, there is no one left to answer.

Hadrian_II · #**369** April 25th, 2007, 06:43 PM

next turn is out and it looks like ermor is trying to finish it i saw tartarians attack most the VPs in the game but it looks like it will take one or two turns more.

calmon, how much VPs do you have? 29??

calmon · #**370** April 25th, 2007, 07:52 PM

Yep, exactly 29!

This Hell Keep in 380 was too hard for my 2 titans. I lost some more battles in T'ien Ch'i (VP) territory and one of the agartha points was to well defended.

I'll try to do my next turn within the next 3 days. I want to storm some VP castles very soon!
