[Spoilers] Biggus Decius and the Sucking Vampires (Bobchillingworth / Calabim)

[Bobchillingworth]

Hey Dave, and my (mostly) silent lurkers,



This will be my final turn update in this thread. This game is over for me, and I expect to be eliminated within at most a dozen turns. I leave you all with a single screen capture and a chat. Thanks for reading! I hope you've enjoyed reading about my game as much as I have playing it =)

that happened when you tried to hit Zaonce?
or did he bring up hemah and a bunch of CA's?

Ben:

the later
backed by who knows how many illian units
using illian ice mana
if nothing else, it took two civs to bring me down!
and, uh, two civs to prop me up :D

[COLOR="Silver"]Sareln:

haha

Ben:

anyway, I have zero intention of presiding over the downfall of the Calabim
so I'm not going to!
that will be some poor AI shmuck
I'M GOING INFERNAL

will they see it coming I wonder... :P

Good game everyone! Sorry for losing the game, Dave :P

[Irgy]

Comiserations Bob.

I'll just say that it has been a great thread, it was the first one I chose to read and I've read it right through. Enjoyed every bit. Best of luck with the new plan, it'll be fun if nothing else I'm sure.

[Sciz]

good night, sweet prince

it was a fun ride

[Maksim]

so I'm not going to!

I'M GOING INFERNAL

If you are going to do something, do it in style!

Here's a crazy idea - if you switch to Hyborem, and it turns out that crashes the PBEM, does mean that it's technically a draw? :neenernee

[Darkmantle]

Another twist to an already torturously twisty PBEM. Excellent :D

Thanks for keeping such a thorough thread and letting all us lurkers into the fun of the game.

[v8mark]

Bob -- you've contributed hugely to an immensely entertaining game. Regardless of the outcome, you've kept us entertained for the last few months, and you were in serious contention to win it, so well played!

Looking forward to reading about the adventures of Hyborem

[DaveV]

Good game everyone! Sorry for losing the game, Dave :P

No need to apologize - you've done, at a guess, 95% of the work in this game to my 5%. Well (and entertainingly) played, and thanks for starting the FfH ball rolling on this site!

[fire&ice]

Start an infernal thread then

You thread was fun to follow sorry you had to lose.

[Mardoc]

It was a blast to watch (and, presumably still will be, for a while). Do you think it's winnable as Hyborem, or just more fun to be had? I do think Decius has plenty of Ashen Veil units to fight and die for you

Oh well, gotta get playing that other game where the Illians fight the Infernals and their allies. Hopefully I'll have something to report this time

[The ShiningOne]

Thanks Bob! I've enjoyed your thread and wish you luck as the Infernal!
