I still, however, assert that given that I had been harping about the impending Ulmish situation for a goodly 6 turns, you could have done SOMETHING in that time. You did, after all, have your wyrm sit unproductively and unsuccessfully sieging the Fort Man for a goodly 4+ months. Surely that was enough time for a quick stopover.

Aha! Thank you. Now we finally get to where your view is coming from, which had me puzzled. This is where I feel you are mistaken. Just because the wyrm was not damaging the fortress walls did not mean that having him there was unproductive. Quite the opposite. I destroyed several armies from Man and Vanheim, and I denied Van the victory over Man, which was the entire point of why I was there. Furthermore, from Man it was (at that time) 5 full turns worth of movement to attack the indies along my border with Ulm. Five turns of wasted time moving versus destroying Man/Van armies. I knew it was faster and more productive to finish the siege and then Teleport, and that is what I did.

I apologize for mixing you and Charon up regarding Atlantis. I wrongly assumed it was you without actually re-reading the Posts. When I went back and reviewed maps, I did so from local JPGs, not by rereading Posts. Also being doped up on antihistamines, decongestants, NSAIDs, and whatnot to keep from drowning in my own juices is not conducive to good memory or good judgment. It's why you haven't seen turn #40 yet. As for Arnbeg, once I'm committed to a war, I can hardly not prosecute it to the fullest of my ability. To do less is to be foolish.
