Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
In fact, Zarathud, you're in the lead (for now at least). Good luck vs Zord and Slutalia though.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Anyone out there want to take over for Zord? He's requested to be AI'd, so I thought I'd check to see if anyone is interested first.

Yea, sorry about that, just don't have the time or energy.
It's not too bad a position, and I have a pretty decent main legion if anyone is interested.
Have fun guys, I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how the game goes.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Here's the basics of Zod's position. First the current prestige situation:
Here's the map situation, with various parties highlighted:
In the map you can see Zord's personal legion, which is very strong. Basically Zord's situation: he can claim vendetta on Zarathud to his south in the next turn. Zarathud is fairly weak military-wise and can't stand up to Zord's personal legion, so unless I'm missing something important it's pretty clear that Zord will take back the +3 prestige/turn PoP that's between them (highlighted on the map). Zord's currently trailing in prestige but the +3 prestige/turn PoP should bring him back into the hunt.
I'll probably wait until the end of the day tomorrow to see if anyone's interested before zombie-fying Zord, unless there are any objections.

Oh hey, how about that. I didn't realize that was the threat list - I always assumed it was just a list of players, and that you needed to press the "Adjust Threat List" button to see your current threat list.Archinerd wrote:Guapo... your threat list is showing.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
In this one, I'm holding on for dear life, as Slutalia and Zarathud have apparently decided to team up on me (perhaps intentionally, perhaps not, who knows), both making demands and declaring vendetta within a turn of each other.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Been a while since I wrote about this game - my initial lead has crumbled, as both Zarathud and Slutalia beat the living bejeezus out of my legions and strongholds.
Of course, now, there's an excommunication petition going around, vs Sepiche. Not sure who in their right mind would vote to excommunicate him - he's got more armies than the rest of us combined, and is within striking distance of pretty much every stronghold except Slutalia.

Re: Solium Infernum - PBEM the Third
Sepiche is spared excommunication. Or should I say, we are spared from Sepiche's excommunication, since holy hell would he have kicked the shit out of us.
I wonder if Sepiche was the only one to vote in favor.

When you have a ridiculous amount of spare Tribute that's worthless to you, buy a beefy Legion like The Sons of Typhon to spend it down. Then nobody wants to mess with you, unfortunately.
