Patch the next?
 

Since the next patch will involve upgraded MA Ulm, how are we going to handle it? Restart? OK by Arco since I'm between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

the game goes on and ulm will just have more options to play with

Re: Patch the next?
 

It is too late to restart now. I beleive that Ulm will just adapt to the changes.

Re: Patch the next?
 

Everybody gang up on Ulm! Oh, sure, they might be all "NAP with us! We'll trade you stuff!" now, but the moment the patch is released, they'll be out for lebensraum! Beware!

In other news, the troops of Marignon have now occupied Eriu, bringing an end to the worship of the false god Styx. A preliminary Inquisition report questions whether Styx actually existed, and suggests he was no more than a myth the sidhe created as a way to control their Milesian underlings.

Thus the Marignon-Eriu war comes to a close. In honour of the fallen on both sides, we have built a triumphal arch at the entrance to Eriu -- the magnificent Baldr's Gate.

(Just kidding, Ulm, just kidding! By the way, I'd like to buy a hammer from you. Oh, and some earth boots at some point. Can pay in fire gems.)

Re: Patch the next?
 

On the subject of trading, I'd like to announce that at this time The Forges of Ulm (TM) are particularly interested in acquiring air gems, and would value them higher than other types of gems in trades. We'd also be willing to trade Earth, Water, or Death gems 1:1 for them.

And, of course, I think we should patch. Because of, uh, bug fixes. And the additions to LA Abysia.

"The order came.

Rhea was doing well in her new home. However, some disturbing news came for the people of Pangaea. Contact had been achieved with a significant number of other nations now. And some of them were more dangerous than all others. Diplomatic efforts were done to subdue the menace, but inaction seemed to be the only answer diplomats could get.

There could only be one answer to such a menace. Hundreds of centaurs got ready. More and more maenads left their home to join the Pangaea army. Some flagellants even decided to offer their services to the great nation of Pangaea.

The order came, and the order was to be obeyed : If other nations couldn't act, then Pangaea would lead them into action."

A message from the lord of the wild, pretender of Pangaea :
"Pangaea therefore declare war against the nation of Ermor."

End of Arco
 

Lost, all lost. The plan was sound, but it did not take into account 'Flaming Arrows'. Even though the Argathan losses were almost 2:1, the loss of the flower of the Arco Heart Companion along with the virtual elimination of the Elephant Corps has dealt a mortal blow to our dreams.

And the Lady Brenfluss thought she was stronger than she actually was and went adventuring...the call to return our God will be a long and piteous one.

With the advent of War between Pangaea and Ermor, the Evil Agarthans and their 'Flaming Arrow' corps will, we believe, triumph over all in the end.

Re: End of Arco
 

Don't take it too bad, Arco, I think I'd be pretty shocked if Agartha whipped out flaming arrows on me. Between the total lack of national archers and no easy access to high path fire, I have to give the Agarthans some credit for putting it together. I can only guess they got the right indy provinces for it.

New Products
 

The Forges of Ulm (TM) is pleased to announce that now have additional items available for sale, including Earth Boots and Fire Brands.

Also, for a limited time only, we're very interested in acquiring supply items and will give a good deal on them.

Re: New Products
 

Ok, the patch is out. Do we patch before next turn?
