I see what you did there.
Though I was foolish. I thought they would answer my call, turns out, they bow to no-one.
So, does anyone remember what these things do? Sit still, run around randomly, teleport, etc?
Maybe you can wish them back…
Hmmm… someone must have killed one (at some cost?), as I can only find 2 flags on the map for them… or maybe I just don’t have a scout close enough to the third one.
I’ve got one sitting on a fort pawing at the walls rather hopelessly. I bit like a cute fluffy kitten that can’t get in. Except its a giant undead fluffy kitten that throws lightning bolts and kills 1500 people every month.
Kinda curious whether he’s going to keep scratching at the walls, go to a next-door province, or teleport somewhere totally different.
Theres one in Agartha apparently, so that makes two… wheres the third?
They can wander I think, I did a test game a while back. They take a bit of effort to kill because their wounded shape is rather nasty! The darkness doesn’t last long either. All you really get for your 100 gems is a bunch of Umbrals! I think it would be more worthwhile if the darkness stayed and had to be dispelled or something.
Yup, looks like the third is twiddling its thumbs outside one of TNN’s forts.
Hey Oceania, you have a scary god-statue stomping around shaking the earth (all my poor horsies…), I think a real test of its might would be taking on one of these elder gods or whatever they are. Plus, you’d be doing a public service that I’m sure we’d all be very grateful for.
Thanks - now every time I think of this game, I’ve got that song in my head!
I need a 24 hr extension if anyone sees this before the deadline. Thanks!

I must say, OldSchool is entering a …UNIQUE phase. Pelagia has 3 out of 5 thrones. A key player has staled 3 times in a row. The seas are aflame with war, but not much involving Pelagia. Arco still lives. Sauromantia has put up the second global.
Now, would I take advantage of a neighbor who has staled 3 times in a row, who I have no NAP with? Hmmmm…
Staling is a valid strategy. Have you not had that used against you before?
I don’t see how my global really belongs in that list. I mean, I really put it up there as a public service. We’re collecting all the ills of the world into one place so that everyone else lives happier, healthier lives. All I get is distilled evil in the form of these death gems. These useless little things are hardly fair compensation for helping everyone else out so much, don’t you think?
Yes, clearly this is why I am still alive (as Arco)! Certainly it’s not because of my tactical, strategic, or diplomatic skill. ;)
Many thanks, Sauromatia!

I thought Agarthas strategy was a stroke of genius
Stale, stale, stale… everyone thinks Agarthas no threat… BAM! Alt 9, ancient gods unleashed upon the world!

Game is tough. Much respect to DireAussie for well and truly smashing me. If it weren’t for psyanojim and Otthegreat stepping in and saying “back off” my candles would be well and truly extinguished by now.
That and Buttercup did live up to his description. 50 kills in one battle alone against one Oceanian force. Not out of the woods though, there’s a Pretender who no doubt wants revenge.
Hehe, my game is more or less over, just having fun with my teleporting statue casting earthquake now. Last turn it killed Sauros army as well as one of the god vessels!
