[Spoiler] Playing with Magic, Amurites only!

[Bobchillingworth]

Wizards are meh. The Amurities just need Govannon and T3 priests and druids to win

[Amelia]

Commodore: I'm relying upon Law 2 and Air 2 spells for my mages. Death just doesn't work with 1 node. So Str 5 summons, and air spells.

Bob: It took me 130 turns just to reach wizards, by the time i tech druids the game will be over!

[Amelia]

Blight hit.

I'm kinda screwed.

[Amelia]

So here's the situation. I'm dying. Decided to research Cartography for city states, loss of +2 from farms will hurt me a lot, but i need the +1 food like two turns ago.

[Amelia]

Ravus, Sareln and Yellow asked me to pop my world spell, to help them kill the vampires. I argued that it's a world spell, and i demanded 2 cities as compensation. We'll see.

Remember, blight is an ideal time to switch civics and religions. Skipping a turn or two of starvation is handy, since the penalty decreases every turn.

Got wheat for free from Mackoti. Ravus told me not to tell mackoti about the 3-way gank...

But i don't think he would mind if i go to Mackoti's side during the war, right? :P

Will try and ask Mackoti for a city for compensation if we defend correctly though. We'll see. Either way i pop world spell and get cities, or defend with mackoti and get a city.

[Amelia]

10 mages now. More 6 Exp adepts are being built, with a world spell they can be instantly upgraded i think. Mackoti asked me for metamagic mana back in return... but given the war coming i think he'll be happier if i helped out with my mages.

So let's see my stacks. I'm completely defended from aggression by Mackoti himself. I might have say, 15-20 mages in total, along with a few adepts for floating eye / haste casting. Must remember to take my scout along for spiders.

So, 15-20 mages. Around 12 will have hosts, and the rest will have Fireball. My primary targets are Sareln and Yellow, since orcs have innate fire resistance. I hope that would be enough, and i'm betting on the right horse.

After that war, my next objective would be to expand right and take out Mist. His power graph is nothing special, and he is the Bannor. Sure, there might be hundreds of troops, but i think Host spam will be able to take care of it.

It'll prob be a two-way race between me and Mackoti to achieve Domination, unless he stabs me. Knowing his personality, i think he won't.


Research path is pretty simple. HBR for mobility, i need it badly. Sailing to get the Dragon Bone island. Finally Arcane Lore for Govannon. Maybe i might try to tech towards archmage, if that's the case i'll convert a node to death for liches. We'll see.

Lol sorry my personal life is becoming worse by the second, so it's hard to play properly. Also, saves come along once per 2 days or something.

Also, i do nothing but end turn. Seriously. Adept adept adept (oh wizard) adept end turn. Adept adept end turn. But war is starting to break out soon, will report that adequately.
