Yes, that would help. Or you could use communion, since you have access to dirt-cheap astral mages, and kill my air mages 1 by one with Soul Slays, while being protected from lighting by one of communion masters casting “resist lighting” or “resist element” spells.
(assuming you would have time to prepare, which I do not intend to give you )
Ok, here is the state of events in the Caelum Empire:
The Ermor is pretty much finished. Their do not have any provinces left, their remaining 2 castles are being besieged and they do not have strength anymore to break any of these sieges.
My strategy up until now was to concentrate most of my resources on knocking Ermor out of the war while repelling attacks of other members of anti-Caelum alliance. This strategy has payed off well, and now I am in position where I can turn my entire force against my western enemies.
Meanwhile the joint offence of Mictlan and Sauromatia have been beaten back, their main armies destroyed, and my counteroffence has been gaining speed over the last two turns. It penetrated deep into Mictlan’s territory. Against Sauromatia it is going slower, since they have more reserves available, but it is advancing nevertheless.
As of last turn, my nation controlls more than half of the map, and about 2/3 of combined gem income of all remaining nations. I have 3 Air Queen, 2 Water Queens, about 20 well eqiuped Eagle King thugs, powerful pretender, most of the unique artifacts, and I am currently preparing to launch Tartarian factory. I also have blood income that is verly likely to be comparable to Mictlan’s, although I have not been using it much up until now.
I think at this point it is quite clear what will be the final outcome of this game. Threfore we would like to offer to all remaining nations a honorable surrender. You have fought well and bravely. And I would prefer to avoid time-consumming mopping-up operation when the game’s outcome no longer in question.
What shall you say?
