FORO THE LORD ARCHMAGE

Yes! you are so correct Merc and Forgiver of course... damn! this game really suck now unlike before when I first played here.

Anyway, TO ANYONE READING MY POST ABOVE DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY IT HERE.

I see what you mean now forgiver... I was just countered heavily... from 4K I was down to 1.9K land. There is really a counter bug here. The game here is getting ghey.. Well I would just delete my mage then.

The only color who would benefit from this type of bug is green.. loring and whoring till the ends. tsk.. tsk.. tsk..  

INTRODUCTION: COS 101
*Applicable to Nether mage above explore limit e.g. 3500-4000
For Nether mages who haven't cast COS (Contract of the Soul) even once for thier entire life, here is your chance to learn how and know the benefits of COS. First the description:

Contract of the Soul
   
Efecto Summons the Hero Devil Prince who leads a band of devils. Spell only ends when casters population reaches 0.
Magia Black Rank Ultimate
Tipo Enchantment Mana 1000000
Turnos 10 Costo de investigación  30000

Mantención por turno

Gente/Gelding 6666
Mana/M.p. 0

FACT BEFORE FICTION:
When casting COS, you will have a level 25 hero devil prince who does nothing at all, I will explain more about the devil prince later. Anyway, based on the last time I've played this version of AM (ArchMage) devil prince will stay with you for 3 days or your until your pop reaches 0. COS is an ultimate spell for Black and would cost 1M mp. Devils will come to your aid for 24 hours since the time you casted COS. Aside from 6666 upkeep of COS, there is a hidden upkeep around 40 to 50% of your current total MP. Devils will come in masses if you are countering and defending. You can use COS in two scenario.

Countering - If a mage pisses you off, and keeps on attacking you. Cast COS and make a siege counter, this is a guaranteed stack wipe of his 1st stack and possibly killing a hero.

Defending - If a mage attacked you, there is 95% chance you can stack wipe his 1st stack, possibly killing a hero. After the 24 hours, you can check all the mages who attacked you and some of them maybe lower than 80% of your power... Siege them and gain some land.

PREPARING FOR COS:
Buy some wines of three whips and books of prophecy that you can get. Preferably you can prepare 10 books and 6-8 wines. With regards to stacking, you can use units that are not pop heavy or geld heavy... You can use the following stack.

Zoms/Lich/effs/etc

Note: You must have atleast 200K geld, 1.3M mana and 500K pop to cast and survive COS.

IMPORTANT: When running COS, you can only attack 2-3 time.. beyond that, its suicide. Also take note do not attack if you are not countering.

SURVIVING COS:
After 24 hours, the devils will no longer help you... this is important so listen up! Your pop will be greatly reduced and so is your geld, disband any geld consuming units to make your geld income positive. Now use books first and then wine. Once you have a positive pop income, build up and counter those mages who attacked you.

Now, I mentioned that the devil prince will stay with you for 3 days or until your pop reaches 0. If you pillage or make a tribute with the devil prince... don't bother coz he will take all the geld and pop (from pillage) and offer them to satan.

EPILOGUE:
If you casted COS and survived it, you will gain the respect of other mages, they will fear you and think twice before attacking you because of COS.

Hmmm... I really don't get what you were saying Merc.. Anyway, I just devil counter a top 10 mage in Mega. It was fun! Hehehe... The trick with COS is how to survive after COS.

Seems like everyone is having fun.. thanx for the greeting man..

Haha.. Which server are you playing??! Im playing in Mega just for the fun of it.. hehehe

hmm.. red stackings... Why not go all flying. RD/Chims/Wraith/Griff use stun  

Hey is that you MercX??

Just wanna drop by and say Hi to everyone... Its been a long time since I played here.

Belated Hapi Bday.. ehehe

But tell me something faith... do you call that stupidity??

lets see how THL deals with devils.. ehehe

hey you guys... don't be so mean. Anyway, you need to donate 80% of your geld to the gods to gain favor

yeah.. Lord Frank just posted it... Thanx!

So when will it be open? I can't seem to create a mage...

then time to exploit the bugs.. ehehe

Hey Oni.. Are you stalking me? Hehehe

Well, As I recall you just have to pay the upkeep for the Devil prince. No other hidden upkeep.. Of course we are talking about post-COS

hehehe.. yeah

In mega blitz, it the sum of all the upkeep

Yes that is exactly what the devil prince does... nothing.. but take note, hes a level 26 hero... so you also have to pay his upkeep... he will offer all your tribute or pillages to satan, so don't bother pillaging or tribute.

Just have to post again... I re compute it and the upkeep was there. eventhough its not shown in the report

of course..

Oh.. thats how it is... Ok thanx man!!!

Thanx Marduk for the translation... Well to tell you Honestly, I like it!! Compare to the previous one, its much more organized, or centralized... The new site design looks great! However, the background image seem to tile.

I always get a blank page when accessing blitz server these days... However, I can access other server just fine, like super and mega... but blitz I don't know.

Welcome to the lord..

Oh ok.. ehehe... well Thats alright.

I run pure wraith stack.. boosted by lots of heroes.. ehehe

THL + Sword of light gives holy attacks to all units.

OH well... It seems like I was beaten down low when Armageddon started. Anyway, Lord Frank... just a quick question: Why on earth did you announce arma for mega blitz just one day before? c'mon man, I did not have time to prepare.

Really?... Haven't tried running MR in stack yet...  

Which blitz? Im playing in Mega...

The stack that I suggest... Don't mind it, there will be not enough wraith to support your top stack. Anyway, I have tried revising the stack.. So here it goes.

Zombies
Lich
Efreeti
Vampire
Horned Demons - Damage doers
Salamander - Damage doers
Chims - fodder killers
Sirenes - Fodder killers
Ghouls
Dryads or Soul speaker

You can go head to head with a green mage... Flame blade/Candles or FB/Oil or Kiss of the Vampire/candles

You need to cast Touch of necromancy to be running in your country since you are using Zombies as your top stack.

Well, try to compute your net pop income with your current Farms and towns... Even if the upkeep is not listed, its there. It seems that the upkeep is already been taken up by your gross pop income.

Hahahahaha!!! I just thought I'd share this... My unit killed over 1K devils and guess what?! The guy did not stack wipe me.. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! He left me with 11 units for my top stack.. Hahaha!! I just find this so funny.. hahaha!

hmmm... ehehe, I thought you are.. Anyway, tb still owes me a counter.

So what are you guys talking about??

so I just let those multimage be huh?!.. OOh well, I just kill them myself.

Oopss.. The devil prince.. argh!

Today, I encounter a multi mage or an an Illegal guild... They really used a lot of items on me, pillage me, Spell me, attack me. A few items went through.. Spells went through but never thier sieges..

Anyway, Who do I email it to? or should I post them here?

Too bad Im black..

I cast COS every three days.. as soon as the devil prince leaves.. ehehe... I tend to use it defensively, but hey, If I like the mage who attacked me, I just counter them with devils.

For Mega blitz... The prince is just level 26..

Forgiver, are you tb??  

oohhh..1!! I like that vampire hunter!! hehehehe

hey Jello, what are you doin here?? Hehehe... You've been posting a lot from TR UBB.

So far these are the heroes I have... Im still looking for a high level valkyrie. Hehehe.

My wraith got really boosted up from 1,200AP to 2,302AP.

Talk about bad timing... In mega blitz, the top tens are either nethers or Verdants. But there seem to be one Ascendant there named tb.. Hmm... I was kinda wondering what is he doing there??

Anyway, I attacked a verdant mage, and he countered me... tb saw what was going on, when he noticed I drop power he immediately attacked me, and thus causing precious land... Anyway, can't wait till arma

I think the figures are right...
