The Early Days. Game running.

Bah, there's hardly even any demons at the capitol. So many undead to carve my way through to get to them. And by the time I get there, they'll have auto-routed again :P

And Rdonj, come out and fight in your capital if you want demon blood.

Well, the theme of the game was sneaky, shifty, NAP breaking. If you look back to the original post. Pretty much the only reason I did it. I usually hold to NAPs.

Oh! this has become a fun game again!

Since it seems like world oppinion wont let me keep my hard earned territories I will let rlyeh,mictlan,niefel divide the part west of the tiranog capital (which unfortunately for me includes all 4 of his magic bonus sites) while I will defend my territory east of it. If anyone is interested in peace along those lines please get in touch.

Oh and if there drops in an angry demon woman with fancy equipment in one of your territories please dont see it as an act of war but as a failure to read a basic spacetime map.

Well, tir na nog is on its way out. The army of moose holding my capitol walls up will only be able to keep lanka out for so long, and then my cap is going down. Given what I've seen, he is still by far in the best position to win. I urge you all to continue fighting the lankan behemoth, lest it claim you as well. If lanka can drop in on another unsuspecting person and gobble them up, I don't think there'll be any hope of stopping them before they can take the few more capitols they need to win.



On a side note, this map has some serious issues. The entire western portion of the map (mine, niefel's and mictlan's territories) were cash starved to the point of absurdity. Even with one of the largest nations in the game, my income was so poor I could barely afford 2 mages on the best of turns, and for much of the game I could only afford to buy one mage a turn - and that was it. The vast majority of my units are moose, and have been since the war with niefelheim where I lost the vast majority of my tuatha. And it's not like I'm playing with really crappy scales either.

Meanwhile every province I've taken from ulm and lanka has 8000 plus population. I know with ulm this is partly because of his growth scale, but given the size of his nation and what his income used to be, I'm pretty sure that was not all of it.

Was that the Horror Harmonica (sorry, couldn't identify all your commanders amidst that sea of vine men).

That combat was hilarious. I am confused why one of my groups of LPs broke on turn 2 - even with your morale-killer spell my morale was still really high.

[Illuminated One]

Yes.
You routed so fast?
I get a battle bug and the game crashes once the horrors start flying. I'm still amazed how all your mages made their runaway but then I managed to cast antimagic twice and horror mark once.
Really a shame that battle was the only one I've been looking forward too.

[Squirrelloid]

Half my army (troops) breaks on turn 2. The other half kills a bunch of stuff (probably half of your losses) while you're distracted by horrors. My mages and the remainder of my army don't break until turns i think, it was a long time.

[rdonj]

Could I please have an extension? I can't see any way I'm going to get the turn in until later today, and I fear I'll miss the deadline. Even something like an 8 hour extension would probably enough, it is just that the turn seems to want to host at just about the time I'll be able to look at my turn again.

Extension granted
