Pity, as I want to see the turn! Die demons, die!

Hi guys,

I just rather abused my power as host again and postponed the hosting by 2 hours - sorry for keeping on doing this. Not that it makes much difference but it feels a bit cheeky as none of the rest of you can do it so easily. I'm moving house at the mo and it's proving rather disruptive as you might expect.

I was ambushed! heh.

Welcome to World War III Vanheim. The more at war the more fun it is.

Wow, dramatic times. I think finally everyone is at war, after what must the longest Cold War period I've ever seen in a Dominions game.

So guys, I just got a call yesterday from my Dad, and apparently he's managed to get a last minute deal on a cottage in Cornwall (which is a very beautiful county in the very southwest of England), so I will be going down with my family for a week, leaving tomorrow morning! So I am afraid I will have to put the game on pause again for a week - really sorry to do this just when it's getting exciting. After that anyway I will not be going on holiday again for ages (probably Christmas I think).

Lol Vanheim, that must be the most decisive defeat I've ever seen, let alone suffered!

(Commanders 48, killed 46,
Regular units 446, killed 444

all before my army took a turn! Cursed Rain of Stones.)

Nevertheless, it's only a minor setback for the mighty empire of Marignon. I wasn't really depending on those 400-odd wolves. And, er, witch hunters are replaceable.

And who on earth wished for Armageddon (I assume that's what it was)? Aargh! My best astral mage and on of my angels at least fell through the cracks. Dread to think what else I'm going to discover is missing.

Aaargh! You killed a fairy! Fairy killer!

@Xietor: Yeah, I figured it was about time I joined the fun. I think I've had enough of playing Vanheim as a research nation. R'lyeh and I can die together instead of one at a time.

@llamabeast: Ever since my war with Arco in this game I thought rain of stones was a great spell on defense but I've never seen it do that! But I have no doubt you've got a lot better stuff on the way than hundreds of wolves...

This turn went better than I expected considering I staled. Not sure what happened with that, I thought I still had a half hour. Oh well.

My poor Vans, attacked by plague and flame. They fought well against Pangaea last turn but I think their time has passed.
