I have an offer for you: If you let me take HZ, the former Pirate capital, I will trade you 70,000 gold for 1 food as compensation.

Now I know the reason why the RD didn't respond to this generous offer: He is attacking me! And, along with the DU, they are attacking me, the Lycans. The RD has 3 army groups--the 1RD, the 3RD, and the 5RD in the Diamond Coast. And the DU has the 1DU army group as well at my capital in Darkover. If anyone wants a free target, take on either or both of these bullies.

I have a challenge for you: You send your big group to area ER in two turns. I will send my big group there as well. If I lose, I drop the game. If you lose, then you will vacate Darkover and Diamond Coast and won't attack me for 6 turns. Agreed? Or are you afraid of losing?

Ehh... more like real life getting in the way of games ;op Sorry, bday weekend nonsense. It feels like this format does need a little more time for the communications. I did make a play against our friends the PI in the Diamond Coast as it was getting boring playing wack a mole with the fairy folk and he seemed like he was on his backfoot. I didn't realize how tied up you were in the region but whadyagonnado? I'd be happy to trade back any of your emissaries that get captured while liberating the region. I feel like a show down benefits everyone else rather than us.

Very well. I believe that you owe me three princes. Let us start by ransoming EL for 1 gold?

Love to, but I suspect our friends, the PI will be attacking my capital, so you will likely need to discuss it with them.

Just be honest and let him know you executed all the prisoners.

Hardly a lack of honesty. Who would have thought that you would miss out on the opportunity to recapture half of your court to save on a little attrition? Why waste that time and effort to train up those wizards only to slowly meteor strike down the defenses. A bit of a waste if you ask me ;op
So to everyone who would like to take Stormgate in a turn and lock up a Rex, worry not, all of the PI groups and their wizards are just milling around in Mythgar.

Oh how good it is to see the "mighty" red dragon armirs flee from the wrath of the faeries!

LOL! Easy does it little fey warchief. My ancient memory is a little hazy, but my recollection is that one of your army groups turned tail and ran with 35% casualties after attacking. Not exactly battlefield dominance ;op

I am enjoying the contest though. Best of luck (although not too much ;op) in the final sprint.

[Mauler]

I believe that this is the last turn, so grats to all for a fun game! Even (begrudgingly) the sly Druid who made the swoop on the Diamond coast in the final turns.

Hat tip to the Fairy Folk and Pirates for being a constant thorn in my side and fighting it out to the end.

It was a fun first game back and I hope to have as much enjoyment in the next one!

[davekuyk]

It was a fun game of survival for me. I had some good success with agents. I'll have to go back and tally up the results.

Of course, the Red ran me into the ground several times. This is the first time I've ever had to use a sanctuary, if only for a turn.

Did you have to attack on turn 5? Couldn't wait?

Yes congrats to everyone who played this game. I felt like I was on the counter attack the entire game. but probably one of the most exciting games Ive been a part of. Dwarf attacked and he was out quick. sacred order attacked and beat me back pretty bad but I pushed through it and finally defeated him. Necromancer you had a stong game and scared the heck out of me. I was happy we finally got to meet up our big groups and duke it out on the battlefield. Was the most epic battles I have been in so far in any games. Great job everyone was quite fun.

" This is the first time I've ever had to use a sanctuary, if only for a turn."

I'm honoured to be the first to force that outome ;op

Based on the setups, it looked like the Fairy Folk benefited most from time to develop of the kingdoms surrounding mythgar. I gambled that the NE/LI/UN would get entangled (check) along with the DR/PI (not soon enough). The RD unit caps for brigades (1 ph, 5 wy, 10 gb) meant that I had to hit hard and fast given that most kingdoms have far more generous brigade caps, summons,  and can recruit from pops. My big group last turn was every RD unit plus 1 ph, 5 wy, 8 gb. Even then, it was only 230k in terrain.

You're secret cap was literally the last unsearched square in the region. 4x lvl 4 agents for 10+ turns. I was pulling my hair out ;op More importantly, it stunted the agent development long term.

Plenty of mistakes banging the rust off but it was fun making a mess of things and figuring out the new rules.

Oh, and to save you and the PI the trouble. Here is the carnage. Grats to the FF/PI agent onslaught! I killed a lot of guys but their agents were a force!
