News from Caelum:

The powerful Eagle Kings set around and play cards and drink most of the day. The 'god' Ourboros has returned and it has become a favorite passtime of the mages to get sloshed and strike it with lighting bolts. Our walls are sturdy and it will be a while before Yomi can get in. Who knows by that time Argathia may have destroyed them.

On the southern Front, kailasa is struggeling against the evil empire of sauromantia, we just put together our final army to try to repel them or else we will be defeated.

2/3s of the way through my turn.

First third was deciding, strategically, what to do.
Second third was deciding, tactically, what to do, and setting the orders.
Third third will be the rest of my empire.

I finally paid attention to Sun-Tzu, and cracked open that book again to check a couple passages. It would have been better if I'd paid attention to it from the beginning (good generals pick fight only after victory has been assured, bad generals fight first, and only later look for victory).

Still, I think I'll come out victorious, unless Abysia has an ace up their sleeve. I'm not certain what their pretender has on hand, but I can guess from their nation page, chassis, and titles.

Oh *bleep* *bleep* *bleeping* *bleep.

For ... I will inform Janlm that my Sauromancer was not scripted to retreat on the second turn. And while flare wiped out quite a few undead, it was nowhere near the autoretreat precentage as I'm aware of it. As well, he didn't take any direct damage.

ARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!! I'll have to review this *bleeping* *bleeping* battle until I figure out why this *bleeping* happened. As well as triple check the autoretreat amount, and each spell used.

I'm looking at Hellbind heart as a likely culprit, at this moment.

As well, my commander carryign spare death gems to the battle was ASSASSINATED! Argh!

My scout saw that battle. I think it was 5 point hit from Blade Wind that made your Sauromancer flee.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Except that abysia didn't cast any earth magic. I'm ctis.

Hellbind Heart- they likely got my twiceborn S1D4N1 mage. I'm pissed. And when I'm pissed, I get even.

Now, I haven't heard anything from Arcosephale. But around 130 units, containing Clockwork Horrors, Myrmidions, Peltasts, Slingers, Chariots, Oreiads sends a pretty clear message. You have one turn to back away from my border.

[Szumo]

You must have watched another combat replay Abyssia's pretender is casting Blade Wind, and one missile hits your D4 twiceborn mage for 5 points reducing him to 7 after which he flees in the battle i'm watching.

Sure, arrow fend is fun

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

You're right. One blade. 3 points of damage. 10 points of morale, still. Question is, where's my mage now? Not in my capital.
