Amusing Ironies

[MayNilad Man]

What's ironic is that Kael said he tried to not be so symmetrical, yet if you look at the Armageddon article in the wiki there is a bit of symmetry with the Order and Ashen Veil.

 

[Master_Hugian]

Confessor worshiping Order and Ashen Veil (Elohim only)

 

[zxcvbnm]

Building the Infernal Grimoire and getting orders from heaven and founding the order, especially as infernals

 

[Caradoc]

How about the Grigori building the Alter of Luonnotar and receiving a Great Prophet?

 

[Vortex79]

Republic is particularly appropriate for vampires if they've bitten or their spawn have bitten the current populace. Don't masters exert a certain level of control over their converts in that structure? So he goes, "Vote for me" and they go "yes master?". So whoever's bitten the most wins the election?

 

[Dodecahedron]

I still don't understand why you feel incongruity with evil civs following a Republic. You are ascribing morality to something that is essentially amoral. sigh.

In the middle ages, "democracy" was a synonym for "demagogy".

- Giant spider with the Orthus Axe (has been reported somewhere).
- Vampiric elephant (Deadly ivory. Horrible!)
- Blessed worker defending killed Rosier (total mobilization).
- National heroes with hidden nationality. (Well, Black Wind itself is a natural paradox).

 

[Rex rgis of Ter]

- Giant spider with the Orthus Axe (has been reported somewhere)

I got a lion iwth the ax. He attacked Ortus who had barely any health. It was awesome.

 

[wilboman]

Vampiric elephant is great. Dem is some big-a§§ fangs, fo' sho'!

 

[Nikis-Knight]

If he goes for your neck he is likely to decapitate you!

Not exactly sure how Ffh vampirism works but it seems that they just die, as feeding/feasting includes a lot of victims and they would eventually end up having everyone a vampire. The relatively few vampires form the aristocracy which is actually the "right" vampire gov, not that there's any problem with republic, they make them bloodpets un-citizens like the slaves were in the US despite the alleged equality of all humans.

Ancient and powerful, the rulers of the Calabim posses a dark secret. Through fell ritual their lives can be prolonged at the expense of others, and by this act Alexis and Flauros have created a decadent vampiric aristocracy. Their battlefield success comes at a price they are only too happy to pay—the blood of their human thralls, kept in miserable conditions to serve as little more than cattle.

Other ironic thing:

Spoiler :

Like Hyborem and Basium as a team, but
Jonas contributed 70 to AC, founded AV, summoned Hyborem, built the Prophecy of Ragnarok, Stigmata on the unborn Rosier the fallen and Mardero, and destroyed half of the civs in the world, and is a teammate of Basium despite having some +25 towards Hyborem...

Well, at least he knows what his enemies are up to...

 

[formless blob]

Cassiel and god king.

 

[wilboman]

Good one

 

[zxcvbnm]

Cassiel is a former archangel so it's actually believable that he's worshipped.

Cassiel's creed of self-reliance and mortal empowerment yields more than philosophy discussions. His warriors often come to battle fearless, and as dedicated to their nation as most crusaders are to their god.

 

[Scott Alexander]

Charadon the barbaric wolf-man replies to diplomatic deals with "Excellent! I'm quite pleased. Let's sit down and have a jolly cup of tea, shall we?".

 

[zxcvbnm]

Another one:
Hyborem proposes things with: "The peace-loving nation of infernals..."

 

[formless blob]

Cassiel is a former archangel so it's actually believable that he's worshipped.

Well read about the grigori medics, and how Cassiel would not set himself up as a god by granting healing magic. Of course that would be very stupid of him, because god king is way powerful.

 

[jprc]

Playing a game with random leaders, with 7 ladies and 1 man.
The 7 ladies end up being all at war against each other!!
The man is at peace with all of them, good, neutral or Evil.

Ah!!! Falamar ... "you are charming" they all say!!!"

Not sure it is funny, but when you play Falamar and you are a man, you feel good.

(by the way, thank you to the one in the team who though about this modifier)

 

[westamastaflash]

In the middle ages, "democracy" was a synonym for "demagogy".

And it's not like that today

 

[Scott Alexander]

Basium: "Watch out for our worst enemy, Faeryl Viconia. They can't be trusted."

Worst enemy? Are you sure you're not forgetting someone?
