Sure, it's alright. Me myself don't have too much time to play on my hands, so I can't make my turns as frequently as I'd like to.
Lukily, it seems that the next turn will be the last, so there's no problem here

Hi, Badok. I have to inform you that I'm going to the vacation from 29-th of April till 20 of May. I hope we can finalize this session before it starts. But if not then I must let you know - it will be very possible that I can't play my turns in time or at all till the end of my vacation. But I'll try to do the best I can. I hope for your patience and understanding

To Badok
It was very clever defensive position for your stack at Vault of Knowledge <smiletext0> <smiletext23>  But not excellent because of your Leader  -  Anyway your stategic mistakes cost you dearly  - not used: hasteberries, Shrine of angel  <smiletext22>, you shouldn't move your leader here at all and, finally, you shouldn't split your leader's stack, especially shouldn't move away your flyer - maybe it was some like a trap? <smiletext1> Then I, without doubts, got into it

It was a risky move, but brave and clever at the same time - to found new city near my domain  Which I've razed recently. And coming into your domain made me very evil  - I mean it gave me many evil alignment points  <smiletext0>

I was distracted so I forgot to finish my thought at the previous message   
I wanted to say: "he could attack first and you saved too many units alive after the fight in that case)) "

Published on Thu, 05 Apr 2018 13:04:34 +0200

Really? Shoot, I didn't know that killing the hero would despawn his armies. Oh well, he was too close and would probably attack me anyway... At least I fought manually and not in auto .

To Badok
Thanks for his death (I mean Rogue Draco Hero)  I couldn't protect my cities from his indies and now they gone  I'm curious - he attacked you or vice versa?  If you were so close from my destination, he could attack first and you saved 
About Watchtower - if it wasn't you who destroy it then it's strange. Usually indies take cities or towers, but don't destroy its, so you can re-take city/tower back. I think they were afraid that I could watch how they spawned from circle   

Published on Thu, 05 Apr 2018 09:45:06 +0200

Yeah... Seems like I'm up for a path of pain, learning the various ways the AI can waste my units and CP .

I found this city at about turn 20 (I kinda delayed exploring UG due to lack of night vision), but couldn't afford to buy the city so I waited for quests. I wish there was a loan mechanic. 

Sorry, wasn't me . I wasn't able to send more scouts your way after the initial wave so it had to be indies. Was this tower pre-built or did you raise it? Maybe indies only destroy built towers? And only some factions of indies, like scoundrels and undead? Dunno.

...

Sigh. I managed to murder the hero from cosmic event, but I don't think his gear will help me to bounce back. Not when you control most of the map. Unless some kind of miracle happens, I'm afraid we'll be wrapping up soon

To Badok
I don't know, may be there is a small chance to foresee the final result. Some more experinced players (e.g. Jean) try to replay most important fights in single player mode, but it's too long as I think (for big fights). As for me, I stopped trying to foresee it a long time ago. <smiletext6>  And yes, tactics "with more guys" is working.  You have some risks with your attack even if both AIs were played different ways - my eagle has Lucky ability which is working unpredictable sometimes  and not necessarily it depends on the level of luck <smiletext1> 
So if you would use one additional monster hunter then you could win <smiletext23> And now you have to use another Flyer to kill my eagle, if you have it, of course. <smiletext1>

P.S. You found my domain first but I found still not vassalized  Tigran city under your domain  at the last turn. 
P.P.S. I need to ask - was it you who destroyed my Watchtower near my giant vassal dwelling? Cause I have a feeling that it did AI   If so, it's strange because earlier AI just took it, not destroyed it.

Must have not noticed it :/. Well my necro got charmed and I had absolutely no possibility of taking down the bard. It's embarassing, but I kinda... ragequit after that .

And now some fresh news: No offence to your halfling, but I'm really disgusted at what my AI did there. A silver Flier got KO'd by a no-medal Eagle just because my leader was stupid with his spells :'(. I expected double Last Stand, but... Well, you'll see. Is there any way to reliably foresee what will the AI do or is it like "bring more guys that the other guy and hope your guy doesn't cripple himself with dumb casting"?

"things are looking pretty well" 
But why you didn't take mana stash nearly there? 
P.S. They are all alive at this site  What did you do there? Just observed how your units were killed twice? <smiletext6> 

Published on Fri, 30 Mar 2018 23:27:17 +0200

Yeah, those were embarassing two turns. First I tried to tackle the dungeon and got destroyed. Lost some units, retreated the hero but couldn't save my leader. Then I reinforced the hero with some units and tried  to bounce back on the ruins. Needless to say, that didn't go well either  #bardsareop. And now, to top it all off, you got access to my lands through the route previously covered by the hero. 

Soo yeah, things are looking pretty well 

Published on Fri, 30 Mar 2018 19:12:48 +0200

I've just right now noticed that you're into the Void  I'm wondering how could you lose your Necro hero in this site? Are there some bards in it? 

Published on Wed, 28 Mar 2018 22:01:57 +0200

Whoa. I'm impressed how stupid my AI was during that siege. A hatchling gets right out of the gates as soon as enemy comes knocking, then fights in melee even though it has a range ability that's usable in close combat .

On a side note: Boy, have I rolled a critical fumble... Need to be more careful about keeping my leader alive 

Published on Sat, 24 Mar 2018 18:48:04 +0100

Well, once I am considered as a veteran, then you feel free to declare war first 

Published on Sat, 24 Mar 2018 15:28:04 +0100

Weeeell, I wouldn't be so hasty with predictions. Dwarves are tough nuts and should you decide to spam firstborns... *shudder*. I myself don't have that much experience with warlords - I picked this combo in an eureka moment when I found out that Fast Healing stacks... Needless to say it's strong but not as OP as I thought .

Anyway, it seems that I messed up game settings and didn't set teams at start. As it's my bad and we're both aligned evil, I'll let you choose who gets that sweet, sweet declare war alignment malus <smiletext1>

Published on Sat, 24 Mar 2018 12:43:23 +0100

Nice choice, Badok <smiletext1>   You have all chances to win this session  because Warlord is my weakest class <smiletext6> <smiletext0> I just wanted to try it, but against another Warlord ... 

Published on Tue, 13 Mar 2018 17:23:07 +0100

To Badok
Agree with you <smiletext0>

Published on Tue, 13 Mar 2018 15:23:16 +0100

Eh, I mean: What can go wrong?  Best case scenario, I somehow win and gain eternal glory. Worst case scenario, I lose horribly and learn something in the process. It's a win-win situation!

Published on Tue, 13 Mar 2018 13:20:17 +0100

Hi, Badok. I'm glad that you're not afraid to play against me. Now I'm not in my best playing position so it maybe will be easy good ranking points for you.  Good luck
