Dominions Decline 11: The Grimgrinch vs Christmas

[Dayyālu]

Illwinter AND Astral Corruption? Probably Overcasted like hell?



I'm dying here





You are all kinda dead at this point. With Cold3 Agartha cannot function, Niel needs only basic forging (so a lesser chance of Horror) and tons of his needs can be covered by blood, and the superior Agarthan Research now it's only good on the battlefield, where Cold3 will maim the cold-blooded ones easily.

About the others, well, there is not even a point in discussing it.

Again,



Grimmie is a singularly mean drunk

Very nice speculation, but in the end completely useless. You see Agartha and Niefelheim have a lengthy non-aggression pact with each other and respectable gentlemen like sqeecoo and Grimwulf wouldn't want to break that just for the hell of it.

Glad I saved my slaves and let Grim cast AC instead. Good work giants. My horrors are all grown up now.

 

[Grimwulf]

Niefelheim works hard on making this world perfect.

But YOU can help too! Agartha is a great threat - one that must be fought soon. Let us forget about disputes and unite our forces against this evil!

Glad I saved my slaves and let Grim cast AC instead. Good work giants. My horrors are all grown up now.

It would take an eternity for EA Mictlan to find a S6B6 caster. You're welcome! I hope you will remember this kind gesture in the future.

Astral Corruption is by definition an aggressive global and a major breach of NAPs and the like. Of course, if they are allies and sqeecoo is a vassal (or the contrary) the point is moot. But the point is moot in any case, with this up:

Playing is a formality.

 

[Grimwulf]

Lanka and Mictlan benefit from AC much more than Niefelheim. Unless they decide to attack me right now, while they are still weakened from earlier mistakes, they got this game in the bag. Time is working for both of them, and against me.

The point of AC was to prevent Agartha from scoring an easy victory, just as I promised.

[Grimwulf]

We must all get used to this beautiful new world. Niefelheim included.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Time to Leeroy Jenkins this shit.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Oh jesus.

[Grimwulf]

And some people call me unreliable ally.



I can suicide a Gygja just to overcast your GoH, so you achieved nothing. But Niefelheim never forgets!

 

[KoolNoodles]

Did you not overcast my Mother Oak earlier? What goes around comes around.

I had a game recently where I used my kraken to cast a 400 gem Utterdark during astral corruption. He was attacked by 3 doom horrors..... he actually killed 2 but in the end they always win.

 

[Grimwulf]

Back then you were planning to gang me with your vassals, so obviously I fired all my guns. But then we settled down our relations.

Or so I thought.

 

[KoolNoodles]

I guess I don't see swapping defensive globals as that big a deal. Annoying maybe, but not really grounds for anything. At all.

Am I supposed to sit around and do nothing while everyone else gets a fun spell up? Don't think so. And on the turn somebody summoned Mabakiel, priceless.

Mictlan was secretly my ally all along. His cooperation with Niefelheim was just a clever ploy to lull Eddard Stark into a false sense of security. Now, in the most critical of moments, Niefelheim's most precious toy was taken from his hands, rendering the ice giants practically defenseless. Brilliant!

 

[Grimwulf]

Niefelheim's most precious toy

 

[KoolNoodles]

Obviously that's false, for I am the true santa!

 

[sqeecoo]

As I said in the other topics I'm away till Monday but I'll get a shitty turn in! No extension, but please be so kind as to not submit until later tomorrow afternoon, so that I can do the next turn Monday afternoon/evening. Thanks!

Peace love and understanding! And horrors from beyond the void!

Yea, that game where I dominate half the map and am at war with everyone, trying to ruin my economy..?

get out.

p.s. that game is turn 104 now i think?

 

[Isiloon]

This is what happens, when contenders beat around the bush and do not collaboratively attack when attacking would have a meaningful effect.

 

[Grimwulf]

One would think that Vanheim should have figured SOME way to deal with Niefel Jarls - they aren't even that good anymore.

Nope. Same old, same old. Just throwing eveything into the fray and praying for a miracle.

To others: that was a test run of mass flight + attack on turn one. (Although on offense, not sure if it had been any different had I had the first turn.)

Well, of course you are, but maybe Niefelheim's been naughty...
