It's quite fun, even though I'm getting beaten up at the moment. But I don't think I'll get eliminated just yet.

It's always fun with a nice free for all.

Ughh, I'm almost done for in this game, but at least i'm taking all of Vanheims army with me.

You should see the horde of snakes/frogs rampaging through my lands.

Since you keep shattering armies, think you could wreck that one for me?

The snakes and frogs cannot be stopped! Catholic lizards shall rule this world!

I was thinking that Eriu's thug machine would cause you problems, but it does look increasingly likely that you are correct.

There's been a couple good fights from the Sidhe pair (they sit on top of the hall of fame but one was hit with three afflictions plus curse) and his frog horde was thinned out at one time, but they've since been replaced and then some.

I never had the opportunity to get a proper gem economy going in this game, being at war with most the map from the third turn on. It makes getting thugs going a slow, slow process, especially since I have no earth income at all, nor astral. The only thing I have a lot of is water.

What I want to know is how you keep killing Vanheim's armies at your capital. You must have some kickarse evocation going on in those fights.

The more successful his thugs are, the more severe their horror marks will become. Poor little guys.

Fire, fire and yet more fire
It's my mages doing all the killing, my poor troops are just dying in droves trying to hold those nasty shifters, einheirs and Vans long enough.

Ah, the "Joys" of being the last person to join a game. Apparently being the last person into a game means that my troops have a 100% chance to process moves after all other players, meaning everyone is always one step ahead of me. Quite frustrating really.

Since I am new to multiplayer I guess there's the lesson! Don't join games last folks.

Even with that said, it is still fun.

[Tryfan]

No, it doesn't work that way. The movement phase you're referring to happens simultaneously but that just means you'll never catch an army by trying to move regularly to where it is. You have to get in front of it, or move to where it will be.

It's the same for everyone.

Only way to hit an army before it can move is to summon into it. That, or assassinate all its commanders so it doesn't go anywhere...

Since we're feeling a bit pretentious in the in-game messages, what's latin for "sorry about your prophet"?
