Forum Overview :: Conquest of Elysium 3

It's trickier than you'd think by Mischief Maker 08/19/2021, 6:34pm PDT I just finished my first game as a necromancer on a medium map. Love the new necromancer rituals, especially the skull pyramid siege weapon. My main necromancer is an immortal lich, one of my apprentices is an immortal vampire with tons of decay spells flying around sniping shit, and I've managed to summon a giant Tartarian Spirit that solos armies. Everyone's dead but the Baron, and I'm closing in on his castle, when the apocalypse hits. Not the literal apocalypse caused by the Voice of El faction, mind you. There was an ancient forest guarded by three green enchantresses that I decided wasn't worth the bother. Big mistake. Suddenly I get a message that the enchantresses have opened a portal to the Primal Plane and gigantic beasts and Druidic Gods are pouring through. I kill the enchantress with my lich and raise a small army of skeletal beasts that I plan to leave on the portal to keep it capped, but the next round several druid gods barge through and sweep aside my bear skeletons and temporarily kill my lich. My tartarian spirit bolsters a city under siege by two gods and barely survives, but as a bonus a lucky roll with his melee chain weapons, enslaved the "God of Hammers" who is now on my side. Things quickly go from bad to worse. My vampire locates the Baron's castle and is killed, but manages to zap a couple dozen soldiers with fatal decay spells before he goes down. Then the druid goddess of water attacks the castle where my dead vampire has just resurrected in really bad shape and overruns it. Soon another pack of gods overrun the temple that holds my lich's phylactry. And the Druid god of hammers dies defending my Tartarian spirit, which is worse than it sounds because the only way to permanently kill these druid gods is to kill them on their home plane, so hammer-god is gonna be back and he's gonna be an enemy again. I abandon any concern for defending my cities and send the lich and tartarian spirit on a beeline for the Baron's castle. The tartarian spirit makes it there first and I snatch a narrow victory from the jaws of defeat. Conquest of Elysium is just an awesome AAR generating machine!
