I've never played them competitively, but my understanding is that across the eras, an "effective" army for Arco is one that neither dies nor routs for long enough for the huge glob of mages hiding behind them to do all the real work.

(Okay, I exaggerate. A little.)

[Delta Foxtrot]

All the horror stories I've heard of Arco include a wall of cardaces and row after row of unholy Mystic communions raining death over everything.

There's actually a fairly new EA Arco guide up in the desura forum, won't probably help you too much at this point I figure it might be an interesting read regardless:

Yeah, mages rule.
I don't remember yours doing all that much in any battle.

My laptop has just decided to end its life. It will take a few days to find a replacement. If somebody (cough*lijacote*cough) could put the game in stasis until I'm back, that would be excellent indeed.

[lijacote]

I've given it a bit of a postponing.

[Il Palazzo]

Should be all good by tomorrow.

[Il Palazzo]

Ready when you are.

Assuming people are still interested in continuing.

[lijacote]

Ulm's turn is the one missing. So Ragnoff.

Personally, I'm good with continuing. Would be nice to see at least the end to the battles on the different continents, even if we didn't play it to the technical end -- the lack of land connection might be problematic.

[Ragnoff]

Oh shoot, sorry, I remember seeing we were going to have a delay and did not follow up.  I will get a turn posted in the next day

[Il Palazzo]

What's up Ragnoff? Such extreme procrastination suggest not as much low interest in the game, as a revulsion. Let us know if you'd rather quit playing.

[Ragnoff]

No, I am sorry, I just had a world of problems over the last week and some and this turn is major after the but kicking. It seemed like every time I tried to sit and go through everything I had another problem.  I was able to turn in a couple turns for other games but they were 5 minute turns.

I THINK all the major problems & deadlines are past and I am working on the turn now. i don't think I will have anything else come up for some time.

I apologize to all for the delay of the game.
Ragnoff

Major clash soon, Alstar.

[Il Palazzo]

Aww crap. Now I don't know if my wraith lord forgot to cast teleport with his boots of the planes(I'm pretty sure I made sure he did. Checked like three times), or if there is some weird new mechanic regarding casting spells from items where they happen after the regular movement.
Has anyone seen anything unusual in this regard?

[E. Albright]

You weren't trying to teleport from a beseiged fort, were you? Using item spells at forts you're beseiging is bugged in the current version and does nothing.

Could not use magic item rituals while sieging

Oh. That explains it. :/
