MP or SP? I imagine MP would help with longevity a bit if only due to longer matches and challenging opponents. Then there's always NationGen, which incidentally seems to be moderately popular with the MP crowd here. NG generates nations randomly so you can get all sorts of cooky stuff.

Guys I poisoned were his low level forest mages. I'm assuming they can't pull off mother oak, or if they did Culise probably wouldn't risk them in battle.

Sweet pyro! Just the motivation I need too, been a week since I touched a brush.

Both had nice campaigns that you could attack-move through. DoW1 just had bigger (ie. better) blobs of troops to do it with. On top of that DoW2 had rubbish bosses. Bloody micro forcing bullet sponges...

35
I threw several blights at Marignon's capital when they crossed my borders. I also forged a bane venom charm soon after C'tis besieged my capital. From what I can tell it didn't do much (D paths give resistance?). Seems it hit you a bit better :D

I am nothing if not capricious.

36
I either didn't have any in the first place or used up all the gem types that Oceania was interested in. As for the rest... Vanarus was a steady neighbour and everyone else attacked me. So that :P

I had a minor stockpile of Fire by the end but that's it.

37
So how's the game? I imagine everyone has scouts everywhere by now. Any wars going on? Throne score?

38
It's also a way to spend another turn getting your units diseased. But round here we just call it an early retirement plan so all's good :P

Fifth in expansion, first to get a fort, shared first to get two forts. I've done worse. GG all.

39
How long till Marignon officially dies off?

They've staled the last three turns so if they're going to cling to life a few more turns I could switch them AI. Should cut a few hours off of the current turn to turn cycle. Or you know, anyone could. I'm probably asleep when Chaoticag sees this and I reckon Mari doesn't have too much in the way of super secret info that would benefit Arcoscephale. I know I'm dead as soon as Vanarus feels like it so I assure you that's not a concern either.

How many heroes do you use? I seem to recall Arkham being balanced around 4 players (well, as much as Arkham is balanced...) and I wouldn't be surprised if Eldritch was the same.

41
Marignon player did remark their lack of knowledge as far as research is concerned. It's easy to imagine they ignored searching as well. Or they got plain unlucky. Mari mainly searches for fire and it's possible there's none in their lands. Especially if we played with default MA site frequency. I prefer EA frequency myself. A bit more gems to go around and bit more fun magic shenanigans as a result.

42
I'm still clinging, but you really could just storm it now. Less than twenty troops inside. Less than five who aren't diseased. Most of my shapeshifting mages have shifted into -paths +hp form just to stay alive.

Summons are generally your best bet with assassinations, but here's a few ranged attacks that caught my eye:

Longbow of Accuracy (const-2 A1) comes with an accuracy boost. Could maybe 1-shot human hp mages?

Bow of War (const-6 A1) shoots thirteen arrows a pop. I guess that could work for assassinations.

Black Bow of Botulf (const-2 D1) causes feeblemind. Might want to stack some accuracy boosts on that though since it's single-target.

Banefire Crossbow (const-6 D1) has aoe-3 decay which might work, but with a crossbow you won't be getting many shots out.

44
I'll "play" another turn or two at least, see how this goes. But there's not much you can do with a crushed military and a single sieged down fort :P


45
From what I can tell there's not much to sub into with Marignon thanks to Oceania. Certainly do PM me if a sub (for any nation) opens up so I can look and see, but I'm already sort of organizing my time with the assumption that there's no PBEM obligations.
