fear of loosing.

hehe. seska, i think i will try that with another 50k land.. if joe will leave me alone

[Aeyliea]

It would please me very much if you tried, and even more so if you succeeded. Not that I will downsize my troops or anything to make it easy for you, but unless you manage to make a successful attack, you ar5e safe from retribution, my word and honor on it

[Jokingjoe]

Heh, I tried just under 200k, bandit. It wasn't pretty. I'm unable to penetrate her scum shield on either kingdom, and she's built up enough temples that sorc spells are ineffective. I was losing over 1000 temples per successful hurricane on her just in backlash. That's more than she was losing.

[Kaz]

You're getting 1000 temple backlash on 'successful' sorcery?

[Kaz]

I've just compared top spell 'sacrifice' with backlash, and the standard top level sacrifice is pretty much the same as backlash (in one case worse). That's mad, and will be different next age.

I would probably go about it a different way - but it would burned a shitload of turns doing it. Bounties, my friend, and sorc kill go hand in hand. Like lovers, hot sexy lovers of destruction....

In any case I still ain't retalling until I see some real results. 59 forts a whack isn't much, and 364 buildings a hit isn't....too troubling, if annoying... I'd say powersorc the shit out of it. Prolly just easier to sorc kill than go directly for land. I only do that in domination. No bounties, so unless the goal is to cripple, have to snatch dat land.

Just to shed some light on the situation though, just under 30K forts, on kingdoms sitting at 260-270K acres with full scum forts isn't gonna be easy to deal with.

You saw how much damage my tier 3 spell did, right? 140 citizens and 8 temples? Assuming I used both kingdoms at max turns and the 7 bounties I have between them and not knowing exactly how many temples you have (you could tell me how many more you have than me, as you can see mine) I don't think it would work.

Admittedly, I had my opportunity to sorc kill you a few weeks back when I was still close enough to get a scout through, but between vacation and catching a nasty cold for a few days hasn't left me motivated to play some days--I see you've been steadily gaining on me in networth.

As for the sorc--well, Kaz confirmed I was taking more damage sorcing you than I was inflicting. After the sorcing I did to you, I had 15k acres suddenly open from destroyed temples. Sheesh!

[bandit]

how much land do you have seska?

[Aeyliea]

Two 260K giants, fully built and slowly growing.

And I fear Joe is actually very close to being able to reach one of mine, and the other through that

Once you succeed in toppling me, you are all dead of course. If the age last long enough for a final, sweeping victory

[bandit]

your scouting me, watching my little monster turn into a bigg um. next week i should be rdy for the david vs goliath assault

[Aeyliea]

Look forward to it Bandit.
