Well I can offer you one answer. I went to their mage, destroyed his main mining city (90k city) and his magic city (killed 99k troops inside, mages mostly)

Good job Leila :-)

You falling asleep has nothing to do with anything, sonce you need a lot of time to take the city when my Nazguls are inside. A skilled move would have been to walk on the other side of the blocked when it was cwed, that way you could cut reinforcements, especially since Dominion's army was frozen. 

It does have to do with everything. I had like 9% when i went to bed. 8 days left of prep. I had to wake up at 4am to freeze the human then use my 3 bts which i still have to take your city. But I fell asleep and let the human in which ruined everything.

I feel Mal tried farming too long and they sacraficed golden opportunities doing it. They could have easily killed off my KD in 2-3 days real time, as we were not prepped for war, had they sent 2-3 legit armies my way. Instead they sent 1 player who sent his army in easily defeatable segments and had a poor amount of MUs in them so we easily could freeze/rof it. They could have eliminated a threat quickly and easily while absorbing 200-300k land, but instead they let us grow and become a problem.

There was a moment in the game when I thought its over, and you could easily take us down, but there's no way you could have known that we were in such a bad situation. When Von killed both of our armies that were attacking, and our main mage destroyed all her magic trying to aotd me, we also reached stalemate against Jack, think Measuring Stick were also attacking us, and we were not progressing anywhere.

If you guys had just did a follow up attack, you would easily take half of our core and then our troops from south would need to retreat, and we would stop you after you took or destroyed half the core. However you did not continue the attack, and I was able to get aotd and then Jack got killed, so we could move on.

Regarding magic; we have very strong magic in our core area, area to maybe city Graveyard, and thats it. We have been fighting outside our strong mage area for a good part of the era, so we're in the same situation there :)

I really wanted to have one era when we attack everyone on the map except that one ally (<3 Random) but its so hard, considering now we own half of the map, and as you guys said, when you're so spread up, its very hard to keep everything in control. Most important part was to determine your weakness, and when we did, it was easy from then. We did not know you have low magic power up north, but when we figured out, we sent people there.

Also I would like to congratulate Scimitar for being first to get over million kills on the world, good job! These guys get better every day, last era I had to lead the attack using my armies and they would follow me around, but this era its enough to assign one guy to certain part of the map and you know it will be done. Good job Hirogen for basically taking the entire north by yourself :) Thumbs up for Force for doing the aotd, but as he said himself, he's gonna return to being dwarf, and once again march a dwarven horde like he did last era :)

I just had a lucky break this era... First attacked Horus, and he went inactive. Then I attacked Jack, only city, so take over gave resources. And then Barny who went inactive and also had lots of resources, so my Zerks are not that impressive really. 

The Collective will not be able to cast arma, I had an idea to be mage and then also use Archmages so I went with magic 7 and then military for AMs. Last era I trained 100k AMs and it was more fun than to just do maging.

I'm close...

I am evil and just respawned. If I can get gqruntee safety and no one else can do it I'll drop and start working on it asap. I'll rush what I can. Be even faster if I could plunder someone to lvl my. Either way let me know.

Might not be necessary. Alrisia is at magic 8 and only 16 mill away from magic 9. Obviously some type of agreement would have to be struck as you are warring Mal, but that would be by far the quickest route.

OK this will get me magic 9

I say work on it Alri, get ready, and when you cast we can all vote Yes quickly and end it right away. But I would like it to end when its supposed to end, considering Von still has a strong army, and I think Edd still has quite possibly 2nd most powerful army after Scimitar, so I would suggest wait for your large armies to die, then cast arma... Also MS are still not done, so I guess we should wait see what happens there... Its easy to cast and vote Yes when its the right time.

bit of rng on my finds and i could have 9 soon enough

Guess you guys have this Armageddon thing figured out then.

I just said few hours ago that its not time for arma, there are quite a few people with very large armies out there, I said I rather get arma casted after these armies are dead, and what you do is start casting arma. You do realise if we get the arma casted and we all vote yes, world ends right away, and then there are numerous armies from several kingdoms out there, you guys hold 1st HoH place, as well as 4th and 6th. If it would end this way, we would not have the clear winner, what kind of victory is for us to have Edd win the era? Makes no sense. If your idea is to cast arma while Edd is first, I can tell you for sure that we will send all our armies to suicide on the arma city till its gone. Clear victory means The Collective and Scoreboard holding top 6 HoH spots.

No haven't even been watching leader board. That was definitely not my intention. I'd say the collective has tallish taken this era quite fairly.

Casting Rain of fire from Blockme upon Dead with 36% chance of success... and Successful!
Fire rains from the sky and 76967 men in The Dead from Mr. Reallynotrandom got burned to death. We lost 51247 Illusionists and 1526 of your magic towers got destroyed in explosions

Someone please explain this:

Ok then explain how did he reach maximum distance and can't cast, and I can cast on that area, and I am further away. Why do I have range and he does not?

We are also using this time before the end of the era to learn new things. For example, I am teaching newbies how to find and attack invisible cities. It seems Edd decided for some invisibility casts, so now I am basically showing them what to do in this situation :-)

He had around 120k berserkers and took two 200k cities from one weakened and one inactive player, what he has now I don't know, but he got at least 6-7 days worth of income from a player with a 200k.

I did say this:

• 06:59:30 Mar 14th 15 - Mr. Scimitar Warbird:
  Well it looks like Barny gave up on the world way too early, so he's now dead. With the plunders of inactive Barny, now I have 120k Zerks and 100k Zerks in training, and now I am sad that its over, because I wanted to use those soldiers :) But hey, I will go for Measuring Stick now, you guys are still alive, not for long thought :P

OMG what did I do.
I am very very sorry
I was supposed to disban the kingdom on Zeta because we are not playing there
But I was on my Nirvana kingdom and I accidentally disbanded.
I am sorry :(

We will be making the Kd very soon
Sorry again :(

Who is prepping you? No vision now... I guess its time for arma, Both Random and us are fine with it.
