Round 45 Spirit Spectre 1 DP for 1 round

Who has another roundfail? Me, of course.

Packed with Rury, Poige, Manno, and Oment this round. We landed with Zar, Exrio (again), Silverfern, M4nus007, drads, aBlinkin and Amon. The pack went back and forth on whether to go fast or not, while I'm going with Nomad since I've been wanting to play it for a while but had to postpone it for one reason or another.

The theme this time around was GPC's silly changes.

Day 1, Hour 2

2025-06-07 18:58:42 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded Smashing Good (#0) and captured 23 land.

2025-06-07 18:10:28 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded Gnomatic Slobberknockers (#0) and captured 24 land.

2025-06-07 18:05:08 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded Rainbow Coloured Lands (#0) and captured 23 land.

2025-06-07 18:03:22 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded Celestial Seasonings (#0) and captured 23 land.

Aimed for 4 hits oop, but barely able to do it as my op fell short for the last hit. I was only able to make the 4th hit after a realmie hit the bot first.

As usual, the top hit was the last as it's copied from gtc.

Day 1, Hour 10

2025-06-08 03:13:50 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded ...I sHaLl bE BaCk... (#0) and captured 25 land.

2025-06-08 03:09:29 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded Beautys not needed here (#0) and captured 23 land.

2025-06-08 03:08:05 Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) invaded The Fallen Onions (#0) and captured 23 land.

I thought I'd only have enough op to hit 2 bots on the 9 hour, but apparently I could hit 3.

Day 1, Hour 20

2025-06-08 12:59:19 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 32 land from Medusa's Eyes are Up Here (#9).

Got a player hit to wrap up day 1 haul.

Day 5, Hour 11

Been sitting for days as I have to build and train a lot after the initial burst. Rury and Poige who went fast were doing pretty good until the twats in #5 warred us as soon as war open. Rury and Poige got roasted as they didn't prepare for blops, and Oment was also getting some. At least I didn't get anything due to being poor and harmless.

Day 6, Hour 4

2025-06-12 20:59:53 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 40 land from Explore And Rezone (#0).

Finally can hit again after 5 days of sitting.

Day 6, Hour 13

2025-06-13 06:51:10 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 41 land from Belly of Awakaned Saturn (#11).

Found a player hit for my 9 hr, although it's a bit risky against #8 spirit. Yolo'd anyways.

The guy unsurprisingly not too happy about the hit.

2025-06-13 08:04:03 Our spies discovered 0 gems missing from our mines!

2025-06-13 08:03:39 20 draftees were killed while they slept in our barracks.

2025-06-13 08:03:29 1 wizard were killed while they slept in our towers.

2025-06-13 08:03:13 Our spies discovered 736 platinum missing from our vaults!

2025-06-13 08:02:43 Our wizards have repelled a Fireball spell attempt by Belly of Awakaned Saturn (#11), killing 1 wizard!

2025-06-13 08:02:35 A great lightning bolt crashed into our castle, destroying 4,434 improvements.

2025-06-13 08:02:27 A great fireball has crashed into our keep, burning 142 peasants, and 281 food.

Day 6, Hour 21

2025-06-13 14:58:02 Whisker Biscuits (#8) invaded fellow dominion Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) and captured 61 land.

Of course he passed the bigger explorer and hit the poor and harmless attacker...

It seemed that I had bad luck with odd round numbers, as I kept getting hit despite there were better targets out there... Collusion!

Day 9, Hour 11

2025-06-16 03:57:38 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 46 land from Thurgas Keep (#0).

There have been some stalling at the top which also affected me as I tried to get 9 hr hits. Didn't help that I had some shit happened irl that kept me out of loop for a bit. I finally decided to just grow first and see whether I can find that second hit or not.

Day 9, Hour 19

2025-06-16 12:44:44 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 50 land from More evil than the Devil. (#0).

Timing worked in my favor for once. All the top doms send which allowed me to 9hr without yoloing.

Day 12, Hour 3

2025-06-18 20:23:04 The Factory of Legends has been destroyed and rebuilt by Halfling: Staff Master +40p, Master Thief -15p (#3).

With Rury and Poige deconverting, we tried to get a wonder. Fountain and Factory were the main considerations, but #2 took Fountain. After seeing #1 started hitting a wonder, we decided to try our luck with Factory and managed to get it!

Update: It turned out that #1 was hitting GMM.

There wasn't really anything interesting around this point since it's just bot bashing and more bot bashing on the 9 hr, so I'll skip some of the journal entries.

Day 30, Hour 22

2025-07-07 14:59:35 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 121 land from The salt in our scars (#0).

Took 5 days for another hit (last one was day 26) and ofc it's a bot again... Although I was considering to bottomfeed out of desperation before #10 lyc found a hit and set things in motion.

Day 31, Hour 9

2025-07-08 01:59:12 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 80 land from We liggen onder je nest!! (#0).

Had to bf for my 9 hr cause #11 gob decided to sit. Fuck him.

Day 37, Hour 18

2025-07-14 10:59:18 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 139 land from Church Burners (#8).

Finally got a hit, a player on top of that! The dp crunch this round was so ridiculous I and I had to raze my dms and alchs earlier than expected as I needed the peasants.

This wasn't really a safe hit either, but there's another dom who's out with similar dp but bigger land size soo...

Wish I could hit Whiskers instead but his dp is way above his spirit twin, so I'll have to get my revenge by proxy lol.

Day 38, Hour 2

2025-07-14 19:37:03 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 138 land from Smashing Good (#0).

Got a bot on 9 hr, which pretty much told me just how dead was my round lol.

Day 45, Hour 19

2025-07-22 12:01:20 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 177 land from ‘Today’s Special’ Forces (#11).

After more than a week of sitting I decided to yolo on an ares drop target. Let's see how it goes...

Thanks Manno for the ops!

Some guys in realm 7 were kind enough to be my meatshields later on, so I made it back safely.

Day 46, Hour 18

2025-07-23 10:59:39 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 97 land from To infinity and beyond (#10).

I was planning to bf to reach 5k, but hit earlier than expected as I found a light target. Thanks M4nus for the ops!

2025-07-23 12:13:30 38 draftees were killed while they slept in our barracks.

2025-07-23 12:13:21 Enemy spies are causing chaos in our ranks.

2025-07-23 12:13:19 Our wizards have sensed their power diminish. You lost 3.43 percent wizard strength.

2025-07-23 12:12:55 A great fireball has crashed into our keep, burning 380 peasants, and 1,211 food.

Of course the guy wasn't happy about it...

Day 47, Hour 3

2025-07-23 19:59:13 Victorious on the battlefield, Spirit: Spectre +1 DP for 1 round (#3) conquered 88 land from To infinity and beyond (#10).

Kinda feels bad for bfing him back to back but such is life.

Day 47, Hour 12

Wanted to get last bf before disable, but the people in my range were high on ratios and I had barely any ops support around the hour. At least getting a slightly higher finish than last round was my consolation for this shitty round.

And that's it. One fucking boring roundfail done. Thank you to my realmies for all the help, and thank you for reading...
