Conversely, if one were to take a level 3 throne and suffer little to no casualties, and announce their attack a few turns ahead of time so scouts could be in place, that would surely make neighbors be concerned about the level of research, spell power, and summons that the player has amassed.
But that would only happen if someone, for instance, happened to amass a mighty army of freespawn damage soakers, buffed by master earth mages, and backed up by incredible cavalry.
Or possibly a massive army of giants able to call air elementals and buffed thugs that leap first turn into the mages at the back.
Or possibly an unending tide of skeletons that simply wear down the defenders, who collapse exhausted and possibly diseased as hundreds of undead walk over them.
Or possibly a massive tidal wave of mammoths, followed by ice elementals and backed up by barrages of ice bolts that destroy the enemy before they move.
Ones enchantment with mammoths lasts until one sees the stupid things fleeing back across oneās own line.
And thus Eagos came down from the mountains, bearing the sacred stone, and graven upon it was the first, most holy, commandment āThou shalt not buy, procure, or otherwise acquire, any fucking mammothsā.
I was very surprised my troops were that effective
I spent two turns burning all my gems summoning all I could and the ice and chill made all the difference, I think. I was also lucky to get maybe 1000+ in gold events and used all of that to recruit the max of my large giants with chill sacreds for two turns, so that was unfortunate timing for you.
The bats are still taking over all of my territory, though, and my one fort lost all its troops to them this turn. So, all I am really doing is saving a few provinces around my capitol, and not sure how long I can hold back the bats.
Well, at least youāre getting good events. I just noticed something today - every single province i own has death scales in it, and some more than 1. This seems to end at my border.
I found a site this turn called the Rageflame Tower. āAwesome!ā I think, because thereās going to be Mages I can recruit that are amazing in their own ways. Nope, just a stupid F1 site that gives me a single fire gem each turn. Oh how quickly my excitement turned.
