[Dominions 6] 2 Grogs 2 Furious (IN PROGRESS)

[TheMeInTeam]

I don't really have enough spare troops to siege your forts, so at best I could raid you.  I'll kill your stuff if you force me to do it, but it's really not a priority for me at all.  My game will be won or lost based on how fights with Mari go.

If you don't dome your forts, I will just disease and curse anything Mari sends onto your infrastructure to prevent her taking it.  If you can prevent her cracking walls for a few turns after I do that, the low-MR mounts in particular will have horrible afflictions.  Disease takes something like 10 turns to kill usually, but due to the hp decrease, a cursed unit will take lots of afflictions before then.

If you have a crone of Avalon with air, use wailing winds.  It's an extremely obnoxious spell (worse than blood rain) and I will be surprised if Mari can storm a fort with that up unless she just unloads like 30 pillars of fire or puts up wrathful skies and one of those catches your mage (she has the air queens so this is extremely likely to be active).  Might want to gear against that!  She can also cast mass flight to fly over your walls, unless one of you puts up storm.  If you can take 200-300 flying blessed knights of the chalice, then don't bother, but otherwise storm is a good idea.  Almost guaranteed you see fire storm since her bless has FR in it.  So yeah, just make sure you have lots of buffs, including both shock and fire resistance, a means to deal with flying to surround you, a way to see in the dark, and a way to manfight hundreds of sacreds.  Easy, right?

Her win condition for the war is to overrun us with troops and equalize/surpass me in infrastructure.  Mine is to kill her armies before she takes infra, after which my any-fort sacreds, while weaker, will be more numerous and boosted by the throne giving them awe.

Mari's armies are larger than mine + Man's combined right now, and she has multiple tech 8s researched.  I'm a bit ahead of her in tech, but tech differential isn't too impactful when both sides have 8s.

Unfortunately Ash had to drop out, I've set Man to AI and taken over as Mari.  I've got an absolute ton of toys to play with here and I can see why she was having a bit of analysis paralysis there at the end!

Anyway, I don't fancy my chances of winning against Bandar Log even if I take the time to micro the hell out of everything Mari has. BL is entrenched with several underwater thrones that I'd need to win which are inaccessible to me, and I reckon I'd have to play a hell of a game to get TMIT into a surrender state.

I'm not conceding by any means, but my goal now is to set off as much fireworks as possible, as quickly as possible!
