Oops, just missed the deadline .

Doesn't actually matter much - I've seen few positions that I'd really characterize as "hopeless" (maybe to win), but I near despair at accomplishing anything at all under the circumstances in which I find myself.

That bad, huh? Guess we know why he upped and left. I have to admit I had very little idea of what was happening up north. Hope you can still wring some fun out of it at least?

I briefly became very happy when watching this last turn. Attacking a nice not-yet conquered VP province my guys managed to charm this amazing catch. A Massive Divine mummy with the attendant hit points and F4A4D8 magic! Thinking about all the things I could do with him almost made come in my pants...

Then he got killed by the rest of the defenders.

Yeah, BoT makes it really hard to recover from a bad position, particularly if your enemies keep the pressure up. I fear I may give the impression that I'm not really doing anything as Ermor disintegrates like a wet tissue - but it's fairly difficult to right the ship when you can't even use your boosters because the turn you recruit guys they tend to come diseased with one turn to live! I've managed to kill/afflict a few of Atlantis' assets while being steamrolled, but a well played brutal assault + crippled defenses and no time to prepare = anybody interested in opposing him should consider Atlantis to have essentially gobbled up Ermor in entirety without many losses.

Will we be using standard MP holiday pause here too? That is, 23.12 - 2.1?

Ooh, exiting. Looks like Abysia's pretender is looking to play a game of hide-and-seek (presumably to be followed by whack-a-mole) now that his forts have all fallen. Quite clever really.

What's the traditional phrase for the 'seeker' to call out when he starts looking? In Dutch we say: "He who isn't gone will be seen."

I hadn't planned to pause the entire period myself, but if you or anyone else want me to I can certainly do so. It certainly is the time of year to be very accomodating with delay requests.

Now I think it's only fair that you give me a 3 turns head start to hide before you come out looking for me.

I'll even give you a hint, I've hidden in a duck's egg, inside a hare, which in turn is inside a chest buried under the roots of a mighty oak tree, on an island in the middle of the ocean far far away.

Amhazair:

Sure, I'd be happy with break from Dominions for Christmas period. No idea about others though.

I will be able to submit turns all through the holidays but would prefer not to do so between the 23rd and the 25th and from the 31st through the 1st.
