Dominions 4: Go home Girl God edition

Could have sword I cloud trapeze'd some mages over.
Fuck.

So any idea when this is going to start?

We still need two more players, or maybe the person hosting this game will just choose a smaller map for the six of us.

Valanis really isn't that big, its roughly six sections, you have the middle island and ocean tiles, the underground caves, the right corner forest, the left mountains, southern left plains, and southern right hills.
Its perfect for 6 people imo.

Ha ha ha.
Good one.

At the time I was fighting the Japs but Arco had been unhappy with me for a while now cause I booted him off of a throne that was underwater.

If you cloud trapeze mages over they show up before the regular battle takes place and start a different battle. The resolve ritual magic turn step is resolved earlier than troops moving in.

You could try magma eruption, your StR mages have at least E2F1 and you can cast it with a lucky E3 random right out of the box, or just use earth boots/summon earthpower if you don't get the E3. Casting is possible with your servants of the oracle who get the F random which should be roughly 1/4 of them if the DRN doesn't get stuck in a rut as it often does. You do need both boots and summon earthpower though. That might work, but I bet he could just cast earthquake twice and kill ~60% of your dudes by turn 2. You might be able to work it with summoning lammashtas since they are immune to earthquakes and shit like that.

Summon Lammashtas might had worked out alright.

I do not think Magma Eruption would do much though, not only would this guy not burn because of Temper Flesh, but his 30+ buffed prot from his self buffing would had severely reduced the damage dealt.

Since he's also an Illearth and not an Earth Elemental he has base regen 15% so he's getting 20 hp back a turn.

also I wouldn't had risked the earth quakes, especially since he's cursed the fatigue + that would mean he gets critted a couple times and taken out.

Any earthquake I'd cast would kill any Blood Slaves I wanna use to reinvigorate myself immediately afterward as well, and Pythium's Legionaires still have really good defense thanks to their shields which would mean they'd have a better time resisting the effects of earthquake.

forgot this pic related

So what can he do against having rocks dropped on his head?
Because if he ends up on my doorstep that's pretty much the only thing my mages are good for other than skelespam.

Ah okay, I didn't know what the guy had on him.

If I were fighting that I would probably script horror mark 2x → retreat on a couple of forgiving fathers. I wouldn't need to fight it if the eater of dreams shows up and murders him. If his MR were lower or I had to kill him now I would get some +penetration items and spam cascades and soul slay and have my big mages summon skeletons.
