And I'm going to ask for another one.

No sub is replying to me, and I'm already tired after doing the Decline2 turn, and tomorrow is a shit day. Asking for 18 hours.

Thanks!

Sure thing.

geography?

5 victory points already belong to Machaka. Bery and Arco are basically free for the taking, both within 1-2 provinces from Machakan borders. That's 9.

We refuse to stay idle, watching black horde grabbing the last victory point from defenseless boars; bribable Lanka corporation; or hentai-lovin' frogmen. And don't you backstabbers even think about using this "opportunity" to tear poor Xibalba apart - all our borders are defended from ye dirty plotting.

We do not need allies. We merely ask to not interfere and let the bats do the dirty work for you. AGAIN.

For those not paying attention, I've taken careful steps to ensure the bordering thrones stay on their current owners. Not allying with the TNN aggressor against Arcoscephale who holds the throne, but letting them fortify the throne instead with 400+ men and ogres.

Yet now the #2 in throne points would attack me, somehow in the name of stopping a throne rush? The guy who has easily the biggest territory, and most gold in the game, not to mention having a blood economy? Yes, sounds like the nation you should back.

Technically speaking, Arcoscephale is the agressor, not TNN. It doesn't matter now. What matters is Arcos had lost most of their forces, and now the Throne is poorly defended. Nothing stops you or TNN from overtaking it.

I'm not nearly the largest-turf-guy. If I was, you could easily prove it with score graphs that your spies surely have. But everybody knows that you are bigger territory-wise, and your gold income is vastly superior (you are able to transmute those fire gem income from Eternal Pyre into gold).

There is but one thing you don't have, that will lead you to demise.
Army.

Do the math about breaking down walls when theres 420 people, 100 or more of them Vine Ogres (which he's summoning more of constantly). If those don't ever move anywhere, there's nothing in the game to quickly overcome that. Even casting multiple crumbles would need an army to match the siege value.

And I have 40 provinces myself. I don't know exactly how many you have, but I count up to 35 from the provinces under your rule on this continent, the caves, and the islands. And it's plain to see for anyone you have more than 5 provinces on the other continent. And you've captured several caps while I only have my own. Atlantis may still have more provinces than you still. Unfortunately don't have graphs of you since a long time, here's all I got:

Cmon, nobody's that stupid to believe I'm the province or gold leader in the game.


Makes no difference still, bring on those Armies of yours and I'll kick their asses.

Every vine ogre has 0,32 siege power (1/10 of normal due to being mindless), every great eagle is worth 14,24 siege power. Normal human troop has 1 siege power. I summon 6 eagles per cast.

Do the math yourself.

Oh also gate cleavers do 50 siege power but theyre extremely inefficient compared to eagles.

Actually I did the math for you, one cast of eagles is worth 267 vine ogres and 85 human troops. Every Cu Sidhe is worth almost 2 human troops too.

Here I thought people were concerned about me getting the throne, not you. Didn't actually remember Ogres have that malus.

In any case, if I'm capable of taking both the 2-point thrones, and making an offensive war to get the final point while not losing any of my currently held thrones, half of which are not forted... Well, if that's something I could pull off in quick fashion, do you think you'd stand any chance of succesfully attacking me either in that case?

Its not ogres, all mindless units count for 1/10 their siege power. Ogres are mindless therefore the malus applies. Otherwise sieging forts with 4k skeletons (cough cough Lanka) wouldnt be possible.
