THE SAUROMATIAN ADVANCE

Along the southern spine of the mountains beyond the waters, two Sauromatian armies converge and decimate a peaceful Ermorian township. The local troops battle valiantly, a lucky arrow striking one of the Sauromatian magicians - killing her instantly. But alas, the weight of numbers is too great and the flesh eaters and undead march steadily onward taking the village and surrounding lands. The thin pass to the Northern lands is now within visual range of the evil Sauromatians.

The question is, will the other kingdoms see the threat and send much needed aid to Ermor, or will they let the Kingdom of Shroud fall and let through the Sauromatian hordes.

Really enjoying the game guys. Learned a lot already from how Renojustin is playing that I haven't been able to pick up in single player. Great stuff.

Abysians posted on top of Smouldercone spot Sauromatians crawling through the southern woods. They have obviously lost their bearings and we trust they will turn back from whence they came.

SAUROMATIAN ARROWS

The full might of Sauromatias main armies converge on the northern pass. In the pass itself are the cream of the Ermorian troops to hold off the attackers. One of the Ermorian priests sacrifices a pig to check the entrails for guidance. His interpretation is 'Don't sit and await death - go and greet it'. So the holding force makes the rash decision to strike southward into the heart of the Sauromatian lands.

Unfortunately, the road south is now held by masses of Sauromatian flesh eating archers, cavalry, 3 Witch Kings, a Warrior Sorceress and myriad other commanders and magicians. The battle doesn't last long and afterwards the bloody field is strewn with the mutilated bodies of Ermor's finest veteran legions.

A black day in the history of mighty Ermor.

The slaughter complete, the archers drag the bodies of their slain foemen to the Blackest Cauldron for the great feast. A raucous, drunken night of revelry and naked limbo ensues. Speaking of Pangaea...

Slave girls wade in the camp ditches to freshen their masters' arrows for the seething hordes of the dirty, dirty naked women of Pangaea. And the hair, oh Weeping One, the hair. Too much hair, and in terrible, unnatural places. Even the swamp women at least braid their underarm and groin growths, but the maenads seem to be wearing kilts...

All of Sauromatia laughs as they come to the realization that the wild people have halted their expansions only to flail their armies uselessly at the awesome defenses of the swamplands. And so obvious! To amass 300 "troops" in one place, their entire military, over several months; the Celestial General would weep along with Gazebo if he knew. What a target! The wild people are only falling farther behind the times - no amount of research will draw them abreast of the mighty and destructive spellhymns of Gazebo!

The Weeping One wonders... does no one else play the great game with their neighbors? And also, how do they expect to reign ascendant as Pantokrator if not by climbing the stacked bodies of their rivals?

[rtyffg]

The Spirit of Forest wonders at words of the Weeping One, and thinks about does scouts of the swamps not even know, how to count? Or did a victory just made enemy three times more numerous in their sight? The Spirit mourns about eaten people of the forest and wants revenge.
But one thing is to be said to everyone - the Weeping One wants an ascendency so much, that even considers itself way higher, than rivals.
Both wars, that swamp dwellers started were declared at the same time, as their armies attacked, so any neighbour of them can expect attack, maybe even when their words say cease fire.

[Renojustin]

Murder most foul as three of our generals were ambushed and killed for their religion!

We are quite annoyed with Pangaea's intimations of somehow being betrayed. We offered Pangaea peace, we offered Ermor peace, and we offered Abysia peace. Then they all decided to attack us. Two we can defeat, but three so early in the day? We shall see.

I'm looking awfully forward to the day when I can play and not get ganged up on by unthematic metagame alliances, who apparently are never attacked in turn by the others in the game...

Whoever is in the north must be laughing at us now, because we are all getting exactly nowhere, fast!

On a more concerned note, when did this game become single player? It's discouraging to send messages, and recieve no reply. It's discouraging to post on the forums with only one or two people out of eight joining the discussion, and when they do, it's often to babble something nebulous about my character, which certainly cannot be called into question from my actions so far, until now:

Because I have to say this is the last game I play with people whose first post in the forums is for joining the game... I honestly suspect foul play after such universal silence.

So this is my last post in the thread. See you in Peccary, on the point of my blade!
