Pity. Thank you nevertheless!
On a brighter note, currently last strongholds of Abyssia power were crushed by forces of Tien Chi Empire. We will remember those fallen in battle with Abyssia death-worshippers and make their spirits proud with our further accomplishments.
Out of character, it is interesting why he pursued such a strategy as he did. Does anybody know him well enough to ask?

I certainly don't but I'm interested to know what strategy he went for. Oh and I'm switching to 48 hour intervals since no one seems to mind. Oh and I'm starting a war with Vanheim in three turns.

You mean the Disorder, Heat, and Death?

Well, it sure screwed me over, most of those provinces had 10-30 supplies for me - diseased my entire army, and my income from new provinces was almost nonexistent. So there was some pretty serious deterrent factor, if he could manage to make an offensive arm to the strategy I think it could work for Abysia.

Not that there wasn't any thought put into the offensive, it just needs to be tightened up a bit to be competitive - and maybe run as more of an early war strategy.


Unless the scales aren't what you mean, then I don't know.

Scales are part of what I meant, I am interested in the whole. Yes, I know about consensus that Death scale allows to make strong SC or big bless and then go to early offensive. But this latter never materialized. He just sat tight. Maybe he wanted to research something, but bless strategy isn't particularly research-oriented afaik... And he had Tien Chi and Caelum as neighbors, both of which have easier time researching... And currently Vanheim also has excellent research.
Speaking of which - as a part of agreement existing between our Empire and the people of Vanheim, the Celestial Emperor hereby proclaims that an act of unprovoced agression performed by half-men of Pangaea makes them unfit for society of civilized people. So a Non-Agression Pact existing between us is hereby dismantled and we propose to enter a war on the side of our Vanheim allies.
