Yeah, it's been a while since I kitted out SCs and I was never particularly good at it. Still surprised that of all things the golem could have died of it was poison. Go figure.I didn't know poison could have a noticeable effect on lifeless beings I reasoned wrongly.
Technically it died mostly due to having a giant snake maul it to death. The poison just saved Titanaconda from having to land another hit or two.
Still, lifeless things do have 25 poison resist, which is far more than enough for pretty much everything.
Pretender snakes though? 35 poison damage. Pretty sure the immortal hydra that Sauromatia/LA Pythium gets also has this much kick to it. I think giant scorpions do this to.
The Serpent Kryss (Construction 2 N1 item) and Astral Serpent (Const. 4 N1S1) also has this. And then there's The Sharpest Tooth (Artifact, N2S1) that deals 75 points of poison damage.

All things you really gotta watch out for with golems, as you can't make them regenerate. (Baring N9 bless + Shroud of course.)
(As a note: I would guess that 2 Serpent Kryss + an Astral Serpent would make short work of most Super Combatants, as long as you could make the user not die soon and lack of poison resist on the SC. Even (most things) regen would be overwhelmed in short order.)

(Also to thtblovesDF, might be worth updating the OP to reflect that Sean is now Atlantis.)

Yeah, go figure. I guess past a certain point it's less poison and more CORROSIVE BATTERY ACID THAT KILLS GODS.

Right you are, thingy is updated.

I tried to do SCs right, but it hardly seems worth the effort - from my Ociana win i learned that just having a nice mix of anti-sc bows on your commanders is usually enough and I much prefer strong casters to strong fighters these days.

I added some time to the round, so Atlantis can do his turn in peace: The game will now host at 06:48 GMT on Thursday February 23rd.

Yeah, between basically never playing Atlantis and the royal mess of a situation this nation has ended up in, it's taking me some time to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. I have mostly figured it out on a basic level, just waiting for a diplomatic reply from Ulm before submitting the turn.

I prolly should offer a Nazca pardon for Atlantis since this is a new player who has not sent a raiding force at me and called it an army. Anyway, seems to the south you have some forts and lost a province there somewhere because a horror took it over. No idea if you can consolidate everything before your ulmish war ends.

Cheeky sean...

Poor Gigalith and his insane unluckyness - his pretender took 5/ish shots of a soul slayer crossbow and died. That stupid horror took 18+ and didn't even get hit once. It has worse Stats in every area, too.

For the record - no cheek involved. He did that on his own. Now you're going to actually have to take those over because I'll need to try and break my mages out.

They did some damage, but next time it would help to put the trolls infront of the mages, me thinks.

Don't be concerned with the growing number of Globals cast by Ulm.

Get yet turns in People;

Next turn due: 14:07 GMT on Tuesday February 28th

I think at this point it might be best to only grant extensions when the player has asked. I'm not checking the server as often for when turns are coming in, so sometimes the thread going up higher is the only way I would have to know that a player is getting their turns in. If we need to extend the hosting deadline, we should do that instead of pushing a delay when turns are not in, and if people think the hosting period should be longer please say so, but between me spending more time playing with a friend, and some more time doing internship related stuff, I can't guarantee that I can get thee delays in when people would like them, so would rather be in a system that doesn't need me being active to grant them.

Totally understandable

The current hosting time is already with a 12 h delay I silently sneaked in when I saw plenty of turns missing

Well, you and about 2 other players didn't have a turn in when I got up. But yeah, I wanna shift responsibility back to players for requesting extensions since we're fairly far into the game as it is.

Oh 3 Globals went up this turn (Gift of Health for Ulm, Well of Misery and Mother Oak for Narcza)

Global list is full now, so anymore will push another one out.

Is the turn really that close? I guess either way I'm asking for an extension now, before I fall asleep (Because yes, I can and have easily slept for over 12 hours at a time, damn any alarm set up to try and stop that)

Also there's 4 people (me included) that still need to turn their turn in, so a bit of help for them to.
(That said, in the event that I horrifically miscalculated how much time is left in my sleep deprived state, ignore this)
