En Garde! Get Ready: Free Duel in January!

[Ry Vor]

Fine, ok, we will create those DUELS.  For those new to Alamaze but familiar with PBEM, you should have them in a few weeks.

But for those who play Alamaze, you will see you already have your kingdom dossiers and turn 0 status for:

Wookie's Warlocks vs. Ohman's Sorcerers

and

Thunderbolt's Sacred Order vs. Devildog's Illusionist

Good Hunting!

Victor, DevilDogs Illusionist over my Sacred Army. Unbeknownst to me we both started in same region with same regional reaction levels. I had presumed by reading a previous duels gamesheet that we were starting in either region so my strategy was flawed right away but not yet fatal. When i discovered his emmissaries in same 2 cities in Ezerbrite i suspected that he had purposely chosen to ignore his tolerant region for one of suspicion. Unable to use a priestess until turn 4 and not in possession of a wizard over Pow 1 i was unable to stop his sleep spells. My scattered groups were slowly moving towards each other for a combine and i was finding special encounters in the process and a few villages so i was making progress but my gold production remained low. I had one group that engaged in 3 encounters and 2 battles where one of my leaders only advanced once for the 5 battles which was dissapointing. Every PC i had that the IL showed up and attacked captured every emmissary i had with no 50% chance of escape. Soon IL had evidently found ring of invisibility and equipped his highest level agent with and i could not stop him from kidnapping my baron, count, duke , ambassador and lev 4 agent LOL. I thought the only chance i had to win would be to find his hidden capital but i never did. And something went amiss with my turn 13 orders so my 1SA did not intercept his group as planned. I also found out that 888 raven familiar and palantir cannot locate a hidden PC. :  My high agent cost and low gold production prevented me from prioritizing spending 30K gold to get a lev 7 agent  so that hampered my efforts. IL also dropped the bomb on me with 4 denigrate in a row and that wasted some 48k gold for me trying to enamor. It was fun but i wont go pure military against magic so should have changed my kingdom choice asap when challenged to a balanced kingdom like EL,RA,GN,DA. Thanks for a great game and salute to DevilDog.
