Human Pretender Screenshots

I thought I'd go ahead and start a thread regaling the fun and good times to be had with Human Pretenders.

Qualifications:

• Human Pretender, No Demigods or Undead
• Played in a Game vs Hard or Impossible
• Turn 1, Middle Game, and (if you are there) End Game Screenshots
• List your Nation, Scales, Dominion, Castle
• Optional: Some fun or interesting stories about the game or Pretender choices/trials you faced.

So here we go with mine:

Pretender: Enchantress named Yna
Nation: T'ien Ch'i Spring and Autumn
Scales: Turmoil 1, Magic 3
Castle: Watch Tower
Dominion: 4

Turn 1


Turn 28


In order to keep this thread from loading slower than sin, I have some links to some other key players in the game.

My Prophet who began preaching the Will of Yna from Turn 1 (Picture at Turn 28, same as Yna)
Rhuax the King of Magma, was summoned on Turn 24
Golem Brother 1 (summoned on Turn 20)
Golem Brother 2 (summoned on turn 21)
1 of 3 of the HoF Celestial Masters (have been in since turn 6 or 7)
2 of 3 of the HoF Celestial Masters
3 of 3 HoF Celestial Masters

Double post. I am filled with shame.

Wuzza? Not to go TOO off topic, but that broken sword icon on Yna part deux is... unfamiliar.

That is the Broken Armor symbol.

From the massive amounts of Acid Rain that are cast. It effectively reduces Prot to the Natural Protection (Non-Armor Protection).

prolly a dumb question Zen, but how are you grabbing those screen shots ?

How come she still has a protection of 10? It doesn't affect magical armors, or it only applies to body armor?

Applies I believe only to Body Armor. Also when you get overland if you have a province with like 20ish resources it will heal it.

In order to get the Screenshot I used Gimp, which has an aqquire function.

And here's mine. Egira the Great Enchantress, goddess of Pythium.

Her scales are order 3, misfortune 2 with a wizard's tower.

Turn 1:



Turn 25:


Of course, this picture doesn't tell the full story, which is the mass of communicants that I'm toting around. There's about 30-40 of them in total now.

A typical battle.

Heh. If I still had one of my human pretender games to post the results of, it'd be a Great Enchantress also - SG Ermor, so 4s and 5s in 6 magic areas or so.

Odd nobody has a Hag or Freak Lord to show.

Although I also had a Druid with Machaka, until Norfleet's server ate the game (generating gigabyte files and all). The extra vine men / vine ogres were occasionally helpful in the beginning, but rapidly lost their appeal.

I'm writing a blog/diary of one pbem game in which im using a Rainbow human pretender. I wrote a couple pages on my thought processes of just picking the paths out but im not certain i should publish it since i don't want to fubar my chances at the game just yet. OTOH, i doubt the game will finish in this year (honestly).

Anyone here playing in Anaxagorasis' Cradle 2 game?

PS Resize those first couple screenshots. No need to be that big, we know what pixels look like. Back to the land of VGA with you!
