A Very Perpy SG

[HidingKneel]

For me, this is how is FFH was supposed to be, a gigantic cluster fuck of death in a dying world.

My thoughts exactly.

I know its been said a bunch but the turn reports are absolutely outstanding, Bob. If you wanted to just pop a thread up and report every SP game you played, I'd read it.

I forgot about my son's orchestra concert when I said I'd be able to play last night. I did manage one turn:

This is the second time Bob's left me waist deep in horse manure at the start of my turn set. Most of my cities are ungarrisoned, and most of them are building Dungeons . I added military units to the front of the queue in pretty much every city, drafted a few cities, and hired some mercenaries (pillaging some Vamp cottages for extra cash). Finally, I ran out of gold, gritted my teeth, and pressed End Turn. I fully expected to lose several cities, but maybe Enraged units don't bother to capture empty cities:

One thing I learned about Iras recently is that their strength increases every time they kill.

I learned this when I ran into a S42 Ira with dozens of promotions. This could be a good environment to see some highly powerful Iras emerge, since their main opposition will be living mercenaries and Iras have cannibalize.

I kind of wish the Avatar of Wrath had the same power. An Ira given time to develop ends up more powerful than the Avatar itself.

Dave/Selrahc:

WTF is an Ira?

[Selrahc]

When the Avatar of Wrath forms, he also has 4 Ira. They are S8+4 unholy, 2 move melee units with Water walking and Cannibalize. For every unit they kill, they gain a point of strength.

The Avatar also has an ability called "Ira Unleashed" which creates an Ira. For some reason he uses it only occasionally.

I believe that ability creates enough new Ira to bring the total back to four.

Thanks for the kind remarks earlier, guys =)

I'm looking forward to reading the other posts.

I played two and a half more turns:

I think I've killed all the calabim units in my territory. Blur is very handy for the C5D4 vampires and vampire lords. I've been playing around with Taunt, with some success:



Here's Alexis's stack of doom, which is just a couple tiles from my territory. I'm trying to build up a good defensive stack, then use Taunt to get rid of her magic users.

For DaveV:

What about this guy? What's he doing?
