Come on guys, why I gotta do the updates for this thread? I got a whole other LP to run!

I don't even have a guy in this arena battle! Stupid giants. Stupid lame water commanders... I should totally have some sort of cool octopus commander :mhd:

Well, this might be a short match...

Ah, that makes more sense.

The returning champion, Leon! He looks pretty fucked, that flying charge must have hit quite hard. (Edit: After checking, he actually only has 35 max hp, seems low for a giant. Also, not the champion, or he'd have an arena item.) He's also stunned, hence the 3 defence skill. Also, Dominions ate my fucking screenshot of the devil so now I have to open the game back up to take it again. Fucking hell!

In the 'probably going to win this' corner, we've got a fucking Arch Devil wearing a copper plate. I was wondering how the Polemarch got stunned since the tail shouldn't do it, and I think the tail got repelled, letting the Polemarch stab the devil, triggering the zappy armour and stunning him.

Shots of their respective weapons. I tried to get the barbed tail too (it deals paralysis poison that causes fatigue damage) but that also got eaten and I can't be arsed to take another one.

Note the effect of the spear triggers every swing, you don't need to actually land the hit. Would have worked nicely vs something like TC's defense bless. This devil isn't even sacred though.
KNZ3F8J.png



Ouch, down to 1 hp. I took some shots of the dice rolls as well, also eaten. Epic comeback time? He does have regen...
0LKilTr.png


LOL nope he's routing because he's at 1 hp. I suppose that's fair.

Ulm was the only other entrant. Spectral mage seems like a bad choice; anybody in the arena is going to have magic attacks anyways. He does have his own zappy chest though, and has some nice defence with that shield. Coral blades add 8 hp, and armour adds some now too, so he's actually got mor hp than the Polemarch did.
WzH2pym.png



Unfortunately, he doesn't have any shock resistance. I think copper plates add some but the shield removes some? Regardless, getting stunned and then hit with a 38 damage scythe is a quick trip to NJ.

No idea what the champion's headband does, but it's probably pretty good, most arena items are. Congrats to Abyssia! Good luck with the inevitable demon slaying weapons in the next arena, assuming we get one. Arena matches should be way more common imo...

How fare ye pretender gods? What glorious feats, what dastardly deeds have been accomplished? Has Ho Mo returned to terrorise the land? Have the mindless slugs fully emerged from the caverns and taken over the world or have the cannibals of Sauromatia sent them back from whence they came?

My pretender has been doing nothing since dying to that random event vine men attack, some forging and some site searching.

Definitely got no use out of the titan chassis so far but that is impossible to tell beforehand...

My pretender has been busy site searching the ocean for the last 40 turns mostly. Also I forgot to move him last turn. :despair:

He'll do cool stuff eventually though, I swear!

Homo has indeed revived already, but I haven't seen him in a battle yet. Presumably he's forging a full set of artifacts to wear.

The hilarious thing is how that commander died with a 1 damage attack negated by MR. I don't know what the odds are of that, but I'm going to go with 'pretty fucking low.' I feel like you got lucky though; instead of the hawks being left stranded, another attack let a commander flee into the province they're at. :argh:

Wonder what's happening in the rest of the map. Stopped scouting after a while because of Tienchi Bowl.

So TC was mostly fighting Ubar, Kaliasa, Ryleh.

Ryleh also went for Hellheim to my west.

Then we have Saurobowl with Mekone and Agartha against Sauro?

What is Ulm and Abysia are doing right now?

Ur and Helheim have repeatedly accidentally stabbed themselves on Ulmish axes while showering leading to accidental decapitations.

Abysia also interprets NAP as a permission to try and domkill me with mass blood sacrifice therefore forcing me to spend ever gold for temples. Someone please call the UN!!!

I promise the map is completely inaccurate in details.

For now....
Sauro is doing his last stand against Agartha and Mekone.
Helheim got eaten by the Ulm plus Squids combo.
Kailasa is holding heroically against Squids and Tien.
Abysia is blood hunting like crazy, blood saccing like crazy, and summoning devils like crazy. Don't ask questions about that, people.

Thrones are still scattered. Fun fact that Agartha has a single Throne (night) and didn't bother to claim for... reasons. Don't know where the Might throne is.

Good lineup for midgame Globals. Nothing surprising bar Abysia being the absolute devil worshiping chad choose to knife himself by overcasting his own Eternal Pyre with the fucking Blood Vortex. I get a feeling we're all ignoring Abysia for a tad too long, also his dompushing against Ulm is bloody hilarious as Ulm gets Heat 4-5 and is building Temples everywhere. Sorry Malakal, but it's insanely funny to watch. Thank the Pantokrator I have a single connection with Abysia.

Uh theoretically, considering Abyysia is like Heat 4? now ? He should've run out of Slave sooner or later yes? As his pop will be killed by both the heat and the pop kill from Patrol?

And damn, looked at the new turn now, Kailasa caught me with my pants down. I didn't consider the option they'd attack my army full force at all, so it was split apart and not scripted for battle, most things on just "conservative gem use" without their big spells scripted. Teaches me to be more careful...

Was hoping for a 500 vs 500 fight there

That being said my script is fucked. So I guess the fact that it didnt happen is a good thing

I had somehow gotten the impression that Kailasa had already been swallowed by Ho Mo, glad to see they’re still alive and kicking :salute:

Yes saw the battle for this turn and let me tell you Kailasa seems very much alive and kicking!

Helheim and Sauro both fought their last (Sauro has a couple of sieged fortresses, but not army)

Honour to both, and Wailing Winds still sent my entire Cavern Guard fleeing even before contact. I know they're obsolete but
