Dominions 4 - Season 3 - The Geriatric Wars

[KoolNoodles]

Lol, woops, just extended earlier also. I'll submit when I get home in a few hours and we'll be good.

I probably sent some death gems to Ermor

What a strange moment to send death gems to Ermor; Burden of Time is already up.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Yeah Ermor really needs to be more annoying. Also, who's casting Armageddon? C'tis.....? Why friend, why?

 

[sqeecoo]

Ai ai! I'm away for the weekend until Monday evening, and was really hoping to finish my turn today and be ok - but stupid obligations have interfered. I may be able to do it tomorrow before I leave, but it's unlikely, so I'll probably have to extend. I'm really sorry about it guys!

 

[Matalarata]

Why friend, why?

'Cause in this particular game it's akin to an euthanasia? Like giving to million of poorly assisted elders, with innumerable health problems, lowest retirement funds ever and missing random body parts some sweet, sweet release?

 

[KoolNoodles]

I don't know why it took me so long to post this, but here goes:

Armageddon is a neat way to make lightning strikes hit fewer people.

Good job, whoever's casting it!

 

[KoolNoodles]

I suppose we'll need an extension, for sqeecoo if not for all the others. Doing 24hr, and will check it again tomorrow.

 

[sqeecoo]

Fuck! I just extended by 48h without noticing Koolnoodles had added 24h already! Monday evening is fine for me! Adios and thanks!

You son of a bitch, how could you? Worthless.

Spoiler

It's fine.

 

[sqeecoo]

Extended by 4 hours since I thought I'd get home early but instead got drunk. But I may have helped C'tis avoid a stall, so that's not too bad. Soreh guys. Now have to do a drunk turn Grimwulf style.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Haha, the best turns are drunk turns. Just don't mistake me for C'tis.

 

[sqeecoo]

I didn't, but I also forgot to script my storming of Nazca :D

Hey, am I crazy or is this two turns already without anyone casting Armageddon? What's this world coming to?

 

[Dayyālu]

Can you send me the turn? I want to see

Chain Armageddon castings

 

[KoolNoodles]

Think we are up to 4....no 5...well, I'm feeble minded and old, cut me some slack.

 

[KoolNoodles]

I hope so.

 

[Matalarata]

Could someone extend till tomorrow morning? I've been conscripted in an impromptu game of battletech 2nd edition and it's been years since I last downed an Awesome...

 

[sqeecoo]

No problem!

 

[sqeecoo]

Gonna extend a tiny bit more just to make sure C'tis gets the turn in

 

[KoolNoodles]

Holy shit, Burden of Time is gone.

 

[Matalarata]

Don't worry I'm sure Berekän will take care of the situation in a turn or two

Ahem, I thought someone had dispelled it I just recently checked my turn...

 

[Berekän]

I'm not at home right now, but rest assured, this won't stand

A dirge for Kalista, He Who Loves not the Light, Prince of Darkness and Destruction:



Battle report:

Spoiler

Arrayed against the terrible force of the numberless dead

the starving, elderly, and outnumbered Pythians, doomed to die

none more so than this brave man

But with bodies turned into mist, and channeling the divinity of their goddess herself, could they succeed where countless Chinese have fallen?

As the armies clash, divine might rains down from the skies

the Wailing Ladies, who can slaughter men with a single sigh, turn the Pythian flank, but even they are falling to the faith of the holy men of Pythium,

as an lone angelic Harbinger holds fast the right flank.

What is this? The horde is thinning? How can this be? The god of Ermor himself has been paralyzed, no longer spewing skeletons!

Wounded, fatigued, and aged, the warriors of Pythium push on. Most die.

But as holy power rains down from the sky, soon only the Prince of Darkness himself is alive, yet unable to move or defend its unholy body, as a Harbinger plunges its sword into its black heart freeing the world from the Burden of Time itself and extending the turn timer by a full day.

The cost was grave,

but without the sacrifice of the men, nay, the angels of Pythium, we all would have perished.

 

[Berekän]

Well, having checked the file now it seems that it will indeed stand. Time to go AI and let the souls of Ermor finally take some rest.

It was kind of fun contributing to driving the world to oblivion while "surviving" against all odds, my final consolation being that the ascending God will rule over a desolated world.

this game is beautiful.
