This was on turn... 30, right? So orders to attack given on 33 to arrive on 34? Is that how this works?

Yes.

Question: doesn't naming casters for their paths in an MP game give too much away?

The paths of most casters are pretty obvious unless you're a faction with a lot of randoms. Mine, actually, has a lot of randoms; they have a pick of earth, fire, or astral, which totally changes the spells they're throwing around. I'm probably giving away quite a bit of info with my naming, but I don't know if it's going to seriously effect any outcomes in the current scenario. I can imagine some cases where I'd want to hide it though.

But the convenience of being able to find that caster you need? Too damn nice to pass up on.

[Ga]Unfortunately, our economic problems have left our nation vulnerable to a takeover bid by Germanic giants. As a result, we have decided to surrender, and send all of our resources to our longtime ally Caelum.[/Ga]

Basically, I've gone AI. Have fun, folks - I did. Big Grin

Well just my take on this, any fight that those casters take part in, that the opponents see, can easily identify the paths the caster are.

Normally it is the first time you actually see those casters as well (as opponents).

A couple times I got a look at what pans casters were early, but they have so few randoms it didn't matter. And the organizational payoff is huge.

Sinister/Pangaea: A bit early? Or am I doing more than I thought I was?

@Niefelheim, I'm going to have to make pretty ambitious claims on the territories of Pangaea. Pangaea and I started annoyingly close, so most of their territory is in my backyard. Removing that particular thorn in my side is my first priority, so I'm planning to take most of the territories on my side of the wrap around of Pangaea's.

In all honesty, I wasn't really prepared to take on sacred giants correctly. Pan lacks offensive magic generally speaking, and my hordes of chaff were rendered almost useless without high-end buffs from Earth and Nature. To make matters worse, I'd built like a complete dork, and essentially made a lot of newbie mistakes. I could have lived for about another turn, but not for much longer.

So yeah, you probably are doing more than you thought you were.

@Caelum, My chariots routed at the exact moment they reached your line of back commanders. That is the most depressing thing ever. I would have killed so many mages.

Actually, every part of that turn went poorly; Mister_Sinister, the AI Pangaea is doing exactly what I would have done in your position and it is working even better than I expected.

Yea, that's the power of many lightning bolt spammers. But I will need some new chaff to prtect both of my flanks. Easily done.

Operation "Clean Up" is going well.

I may need to tag out; I'm traveling for a bit.

Is there anyone out there who wants to take over?
