Decline 2, We Require More Rains of Stones

[Grimwulf]

Once again, well-fought, Lanka. You managed to cause some damage, but it was an uneven battle from the start. You had no chance.

Also, this is literally the first time I ever had an off-script cast of Bloodletting. Fucks sake, you didn't even have living units - why is AI so retarded?

 

[Lizzurd]

Once again, well-fought, Xibalba. You managed to cause some gold losses, but it was an uneven from the start. You had no other way.

Also, this is literally the first time i ever had conquered twice more territories from a nation who is three times larger of me. Fucks sake, why are bats so retarted?

Spoiler

 

[Grimwulf]

Conquered? Have you conquered anything? And some people call us bats blind.

 

[Lizzurd]

We did! And there is a reason you are called blind.

 

[Grimwulf]

Okay then. You conquered something! Congratulations!

Spoiler

Nun, please give this boar lord his medicine. He is delirious again.

Can I get an extension until Tuesday night 22:00 GMT? That'd be about 28 hours.

And same for Decline3, except it needs only 5 hours more.

What the fuck is going on with this game.

 

[Dayyālu]

What the fuck is going on with this game.

If it's about the extension, I granted it because it's proper etiquette.

If it's about in-game diplo, everything went to hell when the bats summoned a random Slavic madman that started a genocidal war against everyone. Before the situation was almost clear.

Almost.

 

[Malakal]

No, I mean we stopped getting new turns. Like at all. Extensions all the time.

Well, I just did John's job - asked around for a sub. Otherwise, we would probably had to wait an eternity unti some autist from Desura agreed to join this mess. I mean, we can't just switch a 40+ provinces nation to AI, can we?

Although I'm not happy with new diplo as well. And it's very irritating when people ask for a 12-turn NAP, only to violate it on turn 2. Would be fun in roleplaying pbem, with some kind of backstory narrative follow-up. Not fun in pure competitive lategame. Just makes things even more exhausting.

But hey, maybe it's Lizzurd's strategy. Make batman hate everything about Decline 2, and follow John to the glorious land of UNDEFEATED ONES. It might actually work. I swear, one more month of Decline 2, and I'm ready to give up on this goddamn marathon.

 

[Malakal]

Casual. I lasted 140+ turns at my own game. I did genocide the entire world pop tho.

 

[Grimwulf]

I lasted 140+ turns at my own game.

I had a longer pbem in Dom3 once. The key difference is it was fun. Decline 2 had stopped being fun after Machakan defeat.

 

[Grimwulf]

Old Age trait is no joke. I can't finish my script until I get some sleep. Asking for 12h extension, Dayyālu raw JohnTheRevelator

Will probably sumbit sooner than that, but just in case. If not - fuck this, let it be a stale and see if I care.

 

[Grimwulf]

Oh, noes! A backstab from Malakal! Who would have expected that?

... I would.

Always have the decency to declare war, men. Otherwise you risk to lose AND look stupid.

 

[JohnTheRevelator]

Do you still need that extension?

 

[Dayyālu]

Nay, I granted it.

Congrats to Lanka for the heroic defense. It was something. Particularly after the Rings debacle of the last turn!

Rushing does not adapt to Atlantis' style. Oh, well, swapping kills is my job.... sooner or later you'll break.

 

[Grimwulf]

Do you still need that extension?

No, thanks man. I just needed a nap. I had a dream of giggling elf, riding on a boar's back and sneaking behind me. When I woke up, I knew what to do.

 

[Malakal]

It was the least surprising attack ever considering I told you I allied Marverni a few turns ago. So yeah.

Pics from Lanka's last stand.

Frogs came knocking on our door in the middle of the night.

We didn't let them in.

Particularly after the Rings debacle of the last turn!

It was quite silly to have them both on one flimsy caster. I don't think she even was doing anything that would quite require them.

For others: Atlantis' first assassin (earth elemental) that was sent to my last holdout managed to choose my one caster that was holding both ring of sorcery and of wizardry.

And yeah... thanks to whoever gave that extension. (I'm assuming Dayyālu.)

 

[Grimwulf]

I demand full battle report, your casualties included!

By the way. Guess what I found in your Throne province:

This pbem could go so much better for Lanka. Always site search Throne provinces, people.

 

[Joined on the 4th of July]

Yes, you could say that my game has not been completely optimal.

I didn't have any fire mages early on and when I later got them they apparently never got over there.

Btw. that province is not a cave. If you ever get to that second edition of this map

 

[Grimwulf]

Yeah, I noticed it too late. Now I won't get my 15% cave income bonus.

Huh, I thought throne provinces came fully explored

EDIT: Nvm, I thought you were talking about capital provinces, derp

Rate me, /Dex

Fighting in every war since Ulm. Still no heroic ability. Am I doing smth wrong, or Titan-types can't enter HoF even if they are not Pretenders?
