I'm a little surprised Agartha hasn't been expanding - is he being attacked by someone? I mean, on a map with this much water, I was actually worried that Agartha would just crush us all.

Might be worth PM'ing or emailing him. If he is being attacked, the pattern I often saw in games w/ newbies in a losing war was: stale, stale, quit (which is not to say that I have any reason to expect this of Ewierl). I'd hate to see a double stale on 36h QH, especially this early on.

OK, guess we can call that egg on my face

Sure enough, minutes after I make my post, Ewierl is there submitting his turn. My bad.

Sorry folks, was out last night and woke late this morning

I am getting attacked, and by a double-bless Tien Chi; those defense-19 Warriors of the Five Elements are tough for my clumsy old ancient ones to hit! it's slowed my expansion, but I'm not getting crushed quite yet

No, not nearly so crushed as I expected!! <grrr>

And I can say that I do not have nearly enough of those Warriors of the Five Elements, as everything else I have just melts away in the face of those Ancient Ones.

Maybe it's just me, but is anyone else having a weird bug on this map/game? I haven't encountered it anywhere else.

Sometimes when I hit Esc to leave a window (or maybe hit it one too many times), everything except the map itself disappears. From then on, hitting Esc just switches back and forth between the map and the wood-panel background. The only way to get out of it seems to be force-quitting and reopening Dominions.

"You call those demons? I'll show you demons."

The forces of Lanka have fallen on their weaker cousins the Yomi in a bloody confrontation which left many slain. Our band of Palankasha are just too much for the lightly armored Yomi, and after cutting through their masses like a buzzsaw, they surrounded the huge Dai Oni and chopped him into 77 pieces.

Yomi flesh is inedible, but the human bandits which serve them are quite tasty when braised in a light wine sauce. We hunger for more (we do so tire of monkey), and know where you keep them. Expect guests for dinner in your home province shortly.
