They may have been fooled by the sneaky, snakey lizards' conniving ways. By building them before Ermorians had laid a single stone, an ignorant layperson or laylizard might be beguiled into believing something nonsensical; e.g., Ermorians are self-aggrandizing derivative poseurs. Fortunately, wise souls such as yourself see through this sophomoric temporal ruse.

I will only say that: one does not simply enter into a bidding war with Peacenik, Patron of Gamblers, Master of Wealth and Power, with hope for winning.
(I got lucky. Don't worry, it will be over soon.)

[Jilladilla]

I really hope you know what you're doing. Otherwise they won't last long.

Pale Ones are kinda hopeless at melee, double HP amphibious militia basically, except with lesser capability to take advantage of overwhelm bonuses due to their larger size.
They're really good chaff, I'd say among the best recruitable chaff even, but that's about it. Unless by 'it will be over soon' you mean 'I am sending them to their deaths'.

[Marmaduke]

Indeed, they have poor stats and I am not even using them for caves or seas. But getting them on turn 3 seems to be useful. I am constrained by production and turn recruitment limit.
I have no doubt I will lose them in a horrible fashion, in a close future.

Except ulm, who's entire budget usually goes into mages. I will have to say for the fear that I felt with turn 1 with seeing the titles and then turn 2 seeing roughly what indies I was up against it so far hasn't turned that bad.

[Marmaduke]

On duty noob here: what is so terrible about the titles? Are you talking about the Ermor bless?

Bandar Log's log:
Turn 2: The Sword Dancer arrives! Praise be!
Turn 3: The one monkey army murders all militia. All of it.
Turn 4: After a bout of battlefield tactics worthy of a particularly retarded inbred markata, Sword Dancer is no more. Neither is my hair.

My cap circle touches another cap circle.

Gross and weird.

The titles shows a strong guess as to what pretender has.

Spoiler: My interpretation of this games titles (click to show/hide)

Arcoscephale: the Most High: Dominion >= 6, Patron of Gamblers: Luck >= 1 and Total Scales Change >= 11, Master of Wealth and Power: Order >= 2

Ermor: Friendship, Goddess of the Forest that Thirsts: Nature >= 4 and Blood >= 4, August Princess: Dominion >= 8, Queen of Untimely Death: Death >= 4, the Lady at the Crossroads: Death >= 4 and Female, Lady of Many Names: Dominion >= 8

Ulm: Etgfrog, the Vessel of Might: Dominion >= 6 and Total Scales Change >= 10, the Mighty One of Words of Power: All paths >= 1 and Male, the Stealer of Corpses: Death >= 1, the Armorer: Earth >= 4

Marignon: Alnis, God of the Forges: Fire >= 4, Earth >= 4 and Productivity >= 2, King of Order: Dominion >= 5 and Order >= 3, the Divine Architect: Earth >= 4, Order >= 2 and Productivity >= 2, Enemy of Darkness = Fire >= 4

T'ien Ch'i: Zot Peshku, the Afterthought: Astral >= 4, the Undeceivable God: Astra >= 4 and Male

Argartha: Asakillam, Lord of the Eternal Forest: Nature >= 9 and Growth >= 0, the Essence of Fertility: Nature >= 9 and Growth >= 3, Master of all Young and Growing Things: Growth >= 3 and Nature >= 4, Prince of the Hunt: Nature >= 4

C'tis: Monitor, Lord of Disease: Death >= 4, the Watcher of the Gallows: Death >= 4, the King at the Crossroads: Death >= 4 and Male

Bandar Log: Aunt Irma, King of Suffering: Blood >= 4, Master of the Healing Arts: Nature >= 4, King of Beggars: Turmoil >= 3 and Sloth <= -1(Order <= 1), the Howler: Nature >= 4 and Turmoil >= 2

Oceania: Sea Doggo, King of Kings: Dominion >= 5 and Male, God of Fishermen: Water >= 2, Opener of the Ways: Astral >= 5, Master of Chaos: Turmoil >= 3

Also rip militia, you killed at least 3 barbarians before the nope.

[ThtblovesDF]

Thanks etgfrog.

Every Path over 1, wtf Ulm.
T'ien Ch'i, nothing know, basically, is worrysome, too.

Svartalf Mastersmith or Eldest Dwarf for the Pretender Chassis I'd say, the two rainbow pretenders with Master Smith 1 (+1 to all paths for the purpose of making items) and Ulm has access to both of them.

I've done that once as a disciple, expect him to be able to forge just about anything, and be glad that MA Ulm doesn't quite have easy communions (only 5% of their mages have S1) to allow him to literally cast any spell on the list.

Still, it does put them in a good spot for trades doesn't it?

EDIT: Yes, I am being fairly open on this. Normally I'd keep it to myself. But my titles are fairly explicit in my things though, aren't they? Don't worry, I'll leave it to speculation; if I see your pretender in action or see your scales I'll keep specifics to myself./EDIT

And yeah, T'ien Ch'i really lucked out on the titles huh? I'm just waiting for shenanigans like  awake super-combatant, triple bless, or MAX SCALES!!1! to be present. Yes, I know the Red Guard isn't exactly an ideal sacred to attach a triple bless to. I'm just being flexible with my shenanigan bracing.

[AlStar]

Would you believe... quadruple bless! *maniacal cackling*

Or maybe I just really like the idea of a pretender that can cast mass domination, and I don't actually have any paths other than astral.

It'll all come to light eventually.

[etgfrog]

I'm going to guess its a celestial carp that will be decked out to be an assassin.

Another wierd idea, awake great sage, S10, magic 3, dom 3, unluckey 3, mass recruit imperial geomancer with fortress spam.

[E. Albright]

Looking at the Hall of Fame, I must say it doesn't seem like the communists have particularly strong arguments at the moment.

I can't get over the loss of Kotex. Can we restart? 

^{please, don't restart}
