Will do.

Exactly - like that last battle with Lanka. Where is that Fire Arrows spell I ordered? Nowhere in sight. My elite mage has decided he will try something more elaborate, and knocked himself out. And those arrows that should have been a flaming infreno of death for enemy undead just harmlessly rattled against the bare, bleached bones. Dear Ezekiel spent most of the battle unconscious too - but what a surprise, I got a message after the battle that he has a son, a Nephilim commander. One never ceases to be amazed.

But it was a mighty, epic battle, even though I lost.

I am going to be out of town this weekend, and unlikely to be able to grant any last minute extensions. If anyone thinks they will need more time, let me know in the next 20 hours or so.

Sorry to hear that, man, we were just getting started

ok wonderloss, i think i can still make this turn, but that's it unfortunately - war with Hinnom is getting really interesting 

Hi guys, I noticed your post on Shrapnel and I'm willing to sub.

I told him you were planning to do this turn, and he can take over next turn. I already switch the address on llamaserver.

No problem if an extension is needed.

I just about had the turn done but it looks like the next turn has already processed and I staled.

I would like to announce that I officially resign. I simply cannot muster the will to play on. Last turn I had a plan that depended on my mage casting fire storm, while others will try to hold position. Even though he had enough gems to cast the spell, he chose not to. Therefore, I lost my most valuable elites. The spell that should strike half of the enemy fire vulnerable army killed just 374 of 1600+ troops. Few things ever work the way they supposed to, often for very obscure reasons. Please, try to find a sub for me too. I can keep sending moves, but I can no longer invest 3+ hours to every move I have been doing since now. I admit defeat and the fact that you are better players. Can I go now?

I would also have to add that I enjoyed playing against you very much. It was the botched middle/late game transition that sapped all my energy. I do not understand the subtleties of the game mechanics enough yet, and the sheer amount of wasted resources and time on experiments that just did not work resulted in really massive frustration. 

My biggest gripe is how the game handles who will defend with PD in case of an invasion, and who will hide inside the castle. There should be a simple switch! The activity-dependence is ridiculous, I want to research, AND rush to defend in case of invasion, surely all my elite mages should not be turned into useless patrollers just because I don't want to watch my PD die for nothing! What a horrible design decision.

My other gripe is lack of templates and presets, with the necessity to rewrite scripts for the commanders again, again, again and again. Barrrrh!  I hate it so much. The game could be so much better with a decent interface.

Well, my wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Wednesday, so my time available to play with virtual toy soldiers is sadly limited.  .  So if most of the others are considering resigning, then that is fine with me.

By the way, what happened with the war between Pangaea and Hinmom?  I merely ask because I thought it might be a war to the death, which I thought would drag on for ages, leaving my western flank relatively secure so that I could attack Agartha in peace.  There must have been some peace settlement, but how did that come about?  Unless Pangaea was able to conduct wars against both me and Hinom, which I suppose wouldn't be to surprising since he had enormous armies of chaff and most of my dudes were running around in Agartha.
