So I finally pulled LOMSE out of mothballs and decided to give it some play after a very long time. I SWORE to myself I would not autocalc any battles that were not VERY one sided or involved another lord.
If an AI lord beat one of my armies or killed something important (besides my lords because that's game over) I was going to let it have it, fair and square.
I chose to follow the ways of Chaos, and selected the "Witch Lord" that Boaster put in the mod in order to try something new. I named her "Wicked Witch of the West" just for fun. "Yes my dear? Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
The Great Temple was a lot better guarded than I remember, so I went on a little trip, slowly leveling my initial group of people. I would grind my way up the ladder, and get my temple soon enough... or so I thought.…
But the big mean and scary level 15 Paladin Lord of Order decided to take my town over on turn 19 or so. Why he did it, I have no idea, but I he parked himself and his cronies in my helpless level 0 town. Jerk.
I packed up my bags and headed over to the friendly realm of fire. After wiping out the low level encounters I found around there, my Witch had made it to level 7 or so and my goblin footmen and goblin archers were maxed out as well. I had accumulated a nice amount of resources, so I bought a Dwarven Punisher and some level 3 Flame Raiders from the big ugly queen of fire. She seems like a nice girl...
I leveled some more, taking over mines and a few more caves. My witch was getting quite powerful, and my flame raiders were now top level. I ventured back over to the realm of Chaos, which was swarming with the white flags of that level 15 paladin douche-bag!
The Lord of Order was was sitting in the library of the Chaos Mage Tower with only his dog for company. Who knows why, maybe he was reading? Anyhow, I decided to engage him.
A steady barrage of Chaos bolts did him in, and that dick Balkoth came on the screen in that once impressive looking FMV sequence and stole all the credit for me slaying the Lord of Order.
I fled from the realm of Chaos once again, still not 100% sure I could take my temple. This time I headed for the lands of Order. I still only had 5 units, but my Dwarven Punisher (Fire Thief) was now level 8 or 9, and I was feeling pretty bad-ass.
The remains of Pala-dick's forces attacked me for a few turns, but I spanked them with my wicked witchness fairly easily. I soon helped help myself to an abandoned level 3 capitol city. It was turn 120 and something and STILL no temple for me! Gosh! I cashed in a lot of my fame and upgraded the thieves guild and mage tower.
I waltzed right into the empty Great Temple of Order, bought Sir Lancelot (Sacred Knight) and renamed him "Sir Sinister" to make him fit in with my league of evil a little better. I sent him around with a small escort and cleared a few lower dungeons out to get him to level 7. Then I stuck him in the church, made him say his prayers, and poof; level 8.
My Dwarven Punisher was maxed out now, and my lord was in the double digits. I knew I'd be ready to get my temple from those baddies when I finally made it home!
Now that I had a "leader" for each class I upgraded the barracks and poured some experience into the order buildings. I got a nice army together and decided venture a out a little ways to clean up some harder dungeons since I was now operating with a base. It seemed like a great idea until...
The Big Red Bastard Storm King of Air, with lots of pink ponies and blue faeries in tow, walked right into my capital and beat the crap out of the 3 crossbowmen and Ranger I had parked there.
Needless to say I turned around. The giant bastard HAD to die. I was so pissed, and in an very UN-AI like manner, the computer kept its lord and army right inside the city.
I made it back about 4 turns later, irritated by my Chaos units' having so much trouble walking on neatly cut grass. The lord of air blasted me with poison clouds and chain lightening, effectively raping my newly recruited order-tards and making my faithful goblins cry out in agony.
He still went down to my Chaos bolt barrage, but I certainly took some losses. My evil Sacred Knight tipped this battle for me, since he was the only one that didn't trudge around the grassy terrain like he was constipated.
Now I get to deal with the Tard of Air's vengeful faeries, birds, my-little-ponies, and whatever the hell else he had. I'll post more after I log some more playtime if anyone wants to read.
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed reading!
So far I like the additions from the GS mod. I'm having a blast!
