Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I posted for a sub. If we can't find one by the next hosting we'll set Mictlan AI.

Hey all,

Just repeating what I've sent to Valerius so we're all in the open here

Firstly Ossa, cheers to you for volunteering to take on the staling Mictlan, but I must protest!

In short, I was told that since no sub was to be found, that Mictlan would be set to AI this turn (ie. order sent turn 34, Mictlan AI turn 35). Now since I have a nice long border with the forest dwellers, I knew an AI nation would instantly declare war on me. With that in mind I teleported a bunch of mages about (losing one), expecting an awake AI to respond that turn, but nevertheless hoping to open hostilities effectively.

Now, several hours after turn 35 began, I find out that not only was Mictlan not set AI, but we now have a sub and (I guess) I'm expected to hand everything back and extricate my poor astrologers caught behind enemy lines, the net result being a bunch of wasted astral gems and mage time.

Hey, I'm the guy who drew attention to the fact that Mictlan was staling in the first place, I was hoping for a sub to preserve game balance, but when Valerius says:

Then I reckon you should stick to that, again for game balance reasons.

Actually - it would have helped if someone told me about my current diplomatic situation.

Seeing Arco teleport his mages to my (WTF??) def 1 provinces I assumed we'd be at war anyway.

I now guess this is not the case, so I'll just reclaim the provinces but dont march anything further south.

Is that acceptable for you, Meursy?
