MP: Silicon Wolves, GAME ON! (again) See OP for additional details

[Finalgenesis]

D-day came and went, and we were lucky enough to beat plain PDs all along the coast, hurray!

Our massive horde of equipped thugs that have landed on the coast can be counted on one hand with two fingers chopped off (or 1 finger chopped off if you count a half gimped thug)! Truly this is a frightening horde that will overwhelm all opposition!

Our strategist suggest that much of Fomorian resources are diverted to defense against other nations, hence the surprising lack of defenses on the coast; or that this is a ploy to draw us in before counter-attacking. Nonsense the queens say! All fear the might of mighty reef dwellers (okay there's a sprinkle of pillars and magical beasts ).

Phoenix Pyre on 13 reinvig and 20 magic resist is kind of a dog of the female persuasion to crack

The real problem, however, which any of your future enemies will also inevitably face, is that I can't damage you. I can't lay siege to you, and any goons I bring into the water will get slaughtered by the Ironbane/Friendly Currents/lots and lots of Deep Ones combo. SCs face significant penalties underwater as well.

I hope, for their sake, that the other nations realize this.

[Kobal2]

So, today I learned about gems ! Namely, that the "can't burn more gems than your path level" thing includes the gem consumed to go up the path. And no, that one upgrade gem doesn't let you burn a second gem.

Which in short, means : crap, crap, crap, I'm even more screwed than I was before, it's not even funny.

I also learned I suck at predicting my opponents, defending my territory and raiding. But I already sort of knew that

PS : Hope it stings, Niefel !

[rotarr]

Lol, not exactly sure what stinging you're talking about there Kobal.

Although my assault on Hinnom a couple of turns ago was quite a big fiasco yes

Your prediction of being gone in 5 turns isn't quite true though!

[Kobal2]

The stinging bit was about the assault on Hinnom yeah Atlantis caught more of the same, but sadly their big guns all had thunder rings so they didn't lose as much as you did.

And I'm already dead for all intents and purposes : no money to buy new mages/kings to replace the ones I lose, and not enough gems to summon troops to protect the ones I got.
Not that troops matter that much when they get atomised by Basalt Kings left and right, but...

[Hylobius]

I'm unable to connect to the server. Is anyone else having a problem?

[Hylobius]

It's ok now, I got in eventually.

[Kobal2]

Huh. Pretty expensive day for you, C'tis.
Well rue the day you turned on Me, invader ! Rue it right to hell ! And hey, silver lining: those 100+ odd gems you just poured down the drain did end up offing four whole Morrigans. That's summin', right ?

PS: neener, neener.

[Hylobius]

Anyone else having server issues or is it just me again? I completed my turn, hit end turn, and was booted to the desktop with the cryptic error message "Nagot gick fel!". Is Kobal2 cursing at me in Fomorian? That was several hours ago and I have been unable to connect to the server since.

[Kobal2]

Yeah I'm having trouble accessing the server too.
