Titan, erm, alicious
Nov. 28th, 2005 07:29 pmI got sucked into a game of Titan over the long weekend. In retrospect, this was a total mistake, since I don't like Titan that much and I would have liked to not have my sleep schedule not totally whacked for the weekend.
But at any rate, I did pretty will on the "play Civilization on the Titan map" plot, not that this really wins the game. And I had brush bunny stacks of doom! I had at least four stacks recruiting gorgons...and my titan stack had two dragons, two unicorns, and a colossus...and I had another stack recruiting unicorns. I've never recruited up to colossi before. Very exciting.
Just one problem. My nearest opponent only had one stack. But it had three hydras in it.
This is a problem, since I can throw gorgon stacks at it, and maybe kill off an angel and a hydra. But my gorgon stack is worth more than a hundred points so he gets a new angel, and if he ever winds up in swamp or desert he gets a new hydra. After three or four hydra stacks, I learned my lesson...but now it's 3 AM. Other opponent goes to bed. We finally have the titan-on-titan battle. I do manage to barely win it, with dragon-titan-angel-angel. But it's 3:30 AM. And the titan-warlock-warlock-warlock stack waiting to crush me, won't, because it's bedtime. Quite past.
And this is how I spent the weekend on far too little sleep, against my better interests. The end.
