New Dawn - EA Dawn of Dominions

[lch]

Oceania wants to know if Vanheim is going to prepare for what's looking like the soon to be expected siege of their capitol in Oceania's attempt to get a fourth capital city. Since Mind Elemental seems to have been able to reawaken him in the past, is there interest by him in playing the rather unfortunate demise of his nation out? I'd expect that he could throw the last gems that he owns in a desperate attempt to throw back or cripple the invaders. Otherwise I would say there's no shame in setting oneself to AI in this situation.

Well, we may be doomed but why not go down fighting? Looking forward to seeing this through to the end.

Well, that could have gone better, but nevertheless it was well worth the price. Surprising to see all adjacent provinces to Mount Cephalos fall into enemy hands this turn - I wanted to force your units into the "no retreat" trap, not the other way around. Caelum has to mourn over the loss of her High Seraphine because of this, her clairvoyance will no longer be protecting the eagle kin from their foes. She will be dearly missed. The battles in Forest of the Dead are another such example of unfortunate timing - the Werewolf goes first and unexpectedly wins the fight against the defenders, only to get slaughtered to pieces by the Ghost Riders that I sent myself.

I was wondering what happened in that province! Thanks for enlightening.

I hope that Vanheim doesn't stale this turn after all this preparation of the last one. And neither Arco, of course.

[Mind Elemental]

Who, me, stale? Nevah! You're not getting rid of me that easily! Still, could we get a brief extension for the next turn, since I've already taken this one - say, another day or two?

Well worth the price? I suppose time will tell.

[lch]

I'll reset the timer right now so that Vanheim doesn't stale.
