Priori - New MA Game (Draw)

[Rathar]

Yeah, being first is rough. Not looking forward to my turn if it comes. Hopefully folks will be too distracted by all the Maened breasts to plan out well thought out attacks. I'm just hoping to be the last person in first place if ya get my drift.

Unlikely though as I've never played Pangea before and never experienced a real end game where mages, tartarians and whatnot reign supreme. It's starting to look like I am the only real blood nation left though and that may prove critical. Although how there are any virgins left in my nation full of Satyrs and such is beyond me!

I did take the castle. True. Cutting your lands in two was part of the plan. As was giving Vanheim a reprieve.

Just being able to hold back the small armies you've got around my capital is hardly a major victory.

And I lost more than a dozen commanders this turn alone. Not sure how many died storming the castle. Including my only thugs and at least one critical Crone. At least I found her boosters after the battle.
And a 150+ troops may be little to you, but it was half my army. I'm working on a different scale here.

Most of the few of your mages I've been able to kill have been your cheap thaumaturges, and they've mostly communioned themselves to death.

Another victory or two like that, and I'll be done.

It's sort of amusing that we're both proclaiming how weak we are. Most be hell on the troops morale. On your part, it's probably partly propoganda, trying to convince others you'r e no threat. There's also a tendency to see your own weaknesses and others strengths.

As for Pangaea, he's fighting some sort of desultory war with T'ien Chi. Maybe my scouts are just missing the major battles. Not much I could do about that. And if I hadn't attacked when I did, you would have rolled over the rest of Vanheim and been well in the lead. I'm still not convinced you're as far out as you claim.

[Rathar]

Pangea and Tien-Chi have resolved their differences quite some time ago. Any battles you may have seen were me trying to kill off some pesky militia and reduce my crippling upkeep.

Just to let ya know.

[thejeff]

Oh, I knew you'd started a war. Hadn't seen anything in awhile and then saw one of those militia battles last turn, so assumed I'd just missed the excitement.

Never mind, then...

Carry on with the fear mongering about Pan's unstoppable hordes.

[Lingchih]

Ahh. We see now. Should have just looked at the Hall of Fame to begin with. C'tis has our Water Queen, and is holding her against her will.

Well Lizards, you can use her for now. But I would not get her killed. She would return to her rightful place the next turn if that happens.

In the halls of Mictlan layed Fu-tsang lung, god of tien chi, dragon of wealth and order. His eyes clouded by pain, still his divine aura was one of peace.

Mo hi hai stood trembling below his gaze, shying from the divine kindness of his beloved god.

-master...you are in bad shape. I...don´t know if my efforts will be sufficient this time. I´m sorry...but...

-My child! The dragon mildly interrupted.

-how great is your devotion? I besieged the monkey people and was wounded, you did not fail me then. Now I have layed Mictlan under my rule after long and bitter struggle and I am wounded once more, you will not fail me now. I know you better than yourself, I can see into your heart and it knows no hesitation. Only your brain plays tricks of despair. Remember that we have won! Hopefully a time of peace awaits, and you will have time to cure me before my strenght is tested again.

-yes father. Mo hi hai whispered before hurrying away.

Fu-tsang lung looked after him and spoke, one head to the other.

-I fear this peace to be frail, my physical wounds are shallow compared to those in my soul. Can I bare the slaughter of yet another people? The screams of mictlans haunt me still, how can I find such steel within me.

The other head:

-You worry too much my dear! Sleep brother, sleep and forget. Yesterday is but a memory, tomorrow is illusion. Only now exists.

-Easy to say sister, but my pain is now. And very real indeed.

-Why sooo moody all of a sudden, can I please be spared of your depression? I for one cherish our victory!

-Such is our nature sister, to mirror the duality of ourself.

-Whatever, see you tomorrow.

-very well, good night.

-sweet dreams.

You pretend to know the will of elements? There is a reason that Limne chose us over all people of the world. She is treated as a goddess amongst our people, and she is given the opportunity to smite those who would be blinded by the flames of false royalty.

Heh. Okay guys, I'm burning out. I find I just do not enjoy Dom3 endgame, so I'm going to find a replacement. Details here.
