Im a rather new player actually.

No.

Yes, I'm in four pbems at the moment and counting those I played in 12 games or so.

You can also mention how many of those did you win, and what nations you played when you did.

 

[Malakal]

Are you stalking me or something? Some of those were anonymous too.

 

[Grimwulf]

Are you stalking me or something?

Nope. Since you are losing the war hopelessly, I suppose I can tell ya.

When raw told me the good news "shuddup and play Xib faggit", I was about to pass the game to an old buddy (yes, I didn't want to play Xib that much). He saw the list of players and was like "FUCK NO, Malakal is there - forget it". And told me the whole story, about all those pbems he played with ya. Have to say, that buddy is pretty skilled at the game and usually pwns most people I know.

I mean, how many trully experienced players got strong nations in this pbem? I'm an old but senile player, who got this awkward Xibalba that I never played before. Johannes got meh-tier Machaka that got some strong sides, but it's definetely not in top 5 EA nations. And you - with all your experience and skill - got fuken TNN.

And by the way. You can't choose TNN over Niefelheim and say that you hate elves. I'm not complaining, of course. Hate to think what this pbem would look like if you took Niefelheim.

 

[Malakal]

I hate both giants and elves, it was a coin toss. Could take Rlyeh but then I would only sit in the water and cast cancer globals, not very funny either.

More pictures of gods dying, less bickering about nations and supposed skill level. I guess I could show Pangaea's.

Pictures always appreciated. Funny ones especially.

Here is Horny The Horned One, unbuffed and unequipped, getting pummeled to shit by wraith sword/frost brand wielding sacred demon monkey kings.

Guys guys guys, your discussions are useless.

Everyone knows that Marverni or Machaka are going to win. Or Atlantis. I mean, have you seen them? Their troops and mages are wicked.

Like, Marverni has those sacred boars. Scary stuff, like, poor Mictlan has only Jaguars and Blood Magic and Blood sacrifices and mages that actually work

Or Machaka, with those cool troops. I mean, compared to TNN's elves the congoids are devastating. Like, they have black skin and everything. The poor elves with glamour and Air magic and decent summons and stealthy mages can't compete

And we should not forget Atlantis, SCOURGE OF THE WORLD. I mean, they have a unit with a spear and a shield. That's insanely OP. Gosh, the reef dweller is even armoured! OH MY GOD THE SPEAR IS POISONED! Illwinter sucks at balance.


(I approve of cool images and writeups. I approve less of theorycrafting.)

 

[Malakal]

Basalt Kings are easily one of the best mages in any era, unfortunately Atlantis is being held back by shit troops and shit research. But hey, I think you know that by now.

Imagine, if you will, Horny the Horned One(with 171 Hitpoints in his Dominion) equipped with a Brand of some kind. Maybe a Vine Shield, any helmet, anything else. Then imagine that Horny casts some buffs, like Strength of Gaia, Liquid Body, Temper Flesh, Quickness, etc. Once you are done imagining all of that you can imagine a lot of dead monkeys.

Horny had little imagination.

He's berserk though. One hit and his script is fucked - it's YOLO anyway.

 

[Malakal]

So put him in the back and hope he doesn't catch an arrow?

 

[KoolNoodles]

True, but I imagine he could get off one or two buffs before some random arrow/spell triggered it. Even most of the battlefield wide spells Lanka might use(Death and Blood?) are MR negate. He'd at least have Strength of Gaia if completely unlucky. :D

 

[Grimwulf]

Guess I'll join this showing off, coz why not?

Here we see bats and Ozelotls trying to beat Fomorian bull.

I am fairly sure this was the turn of awakening, but Mraston will correct me if I'm wrong. It could be worse if the bull had a chance to level up and equip something like regen ring.

The damn beast was annihilating everything that approached him. But then slow-arse sacred scorps finally came close enough and pwnd the unholy creature.

So far Fomoria managed to inflict the most dire casualties upon Xibalba. Guess that Mictlan and TNN will beat Fomorian record eventually, but still. Both Fomorian wars were exciting.

Next we see weeaboo fountain.

TC went AI relatively early, and the nation itself fell pretty easy (once again, Xibalba is most strong during the period when I attacked TC - sorry, thesheeep), but the fountain... Fucking fountain.

I saw this picture a lot. Backstabbing Hinnom didn't let my forces to focus on finishing off TC, and my batmen could not do shit against it.

But then slow-ass sacred scorps came and pwnd the unholy structure.

Hmm. I sence a certain pattern here.

You could show of what your mages are working on. No one cares about your stupid grudges with inanimate objects.

My mages are resurrecting pimp lord, obviously.

On my deth list are:
- the jew fountain;
- the turkey fountain;
- the elven tree;
- (eventually) the frog statue.

Warmonger! I'll have you know that peaceful people of Marverni not only did not kill any other pretenders we also didn't start any wars! More than that only capital we control is our own.

 

[Grimwulf]

Can't see your post too well. Imma blind, after all.

Thanks for saving the world from Fomorian threat and horribru anime culture! GO BATMAN!

Oh, you're welcome. I am not the hero you need, but the one you deserve.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Mictlan didn't start any wars either, we even refrained from wars against "allies".

On the plus side, it has given me some reading material.

 

[Damned Registrations]

So, I finally noticed this (I'd thought it was some other crappy game I'd seen already for some reason.) Seems really awesome, stayed up an extra 6 hours or so last night trying shit out.

When do you suppose the next PBEM will start?

 

[JohnTheRevelator]

Once I win this one I guess.

 

[Grimwulf]

Once raw loses another one I guess.

Here is Horny The Horned One, unbuffed and unequipped,

He actually did buff himself, with strength of gaia and stoneskin. Latter one is a great choice before charging at frost brand wielding enemies.

Yes he did! Don't know why I missed that, was just zipping through the battle to get to the death scene. I retract my libel, Horny.
