I believe one of our nations has an Emerald City, so just follow the yellow brick road, you're off to see the wonderful wizard of Oz.

Re: Small Talk
 

What, nobody apreciated my Oz joke?

Well gossip time. I got my turn in about thirty minutes till turn-over. Shinuyama might sleep through theirs.

Damn misfortune, damn barbarians. Here's hoping that all those archers I recruited can be put to good use, and I didn't cripple myself by splitting my forces in two. Take a province, lose a province. Eh... The same province they raided produced several water gems the same turn, so my luck's not all bad.

I have found Abysia so far and I am dead scared of his god...E9F4 and like 29 Prot...not to mention gods know how many HP...I wonder just what kind of scales he needed to take to get all that awake...((besides heat, that's a given...)) His army size kind of sucks, so probably a bit of turmoil and sloth...

Re: Small Talk
 

Meh... One of my provinces got hit by TWO Ill Omens this turn. All that bad luck resulted in me quitting without saving when I meant to press end turn and submit my turn. Bah!

Those Barbarian Raiders have suffered my revenge. Hah! Those archers earned their pay, when my LI would have been slaughterized.

...

Anyone else having some trouble discussing stuff with people? Pms and in game messages have proven to get no responses from some players.

Re: Small Talk
 

Well, if you've been sending me in game PMs, I haven't gotten anything.

Re: Small Talk
 

I've gotten em. At least two. They've shown up in my list of messages. But I've only chatted yet with one player. I'll shout out to all my underground homies next time I get my turn. I'll have something to brag about, anyways.

I'll have six of those Attentive Statues. Fortunately for you, my leaders are SLOW, and the terrains rough enough it wouldn't matter if I had faster. Want gossip?
My capital is pulling in over 300 resources, and this is with a sloth scale. To quote Jim Cramer of Mad Money, "Booyah!". Incomes a bit lacking, but I save pennies by recruiting heavier troops. I've started site searching now, but before that, I had auto-found 3 mines adjacent (one copper, two iron) to my capital. If only my troops were actually worth it.

Re: Small Talk
 

Well, I just found Ryleh, they're in the SW ocean and already out on land. He had the bad luck to go for the same province I went for and his force got annihilated.

The two water nations are in separate bodies of water so they are going to be fighting us, not each other.

Nothing else interesting so far.

Re: Small Talk
 

...

Is anyone else near shinyuma? Because, from what I can see of his territory, he hasn't done anything for two turns.

Re: Small Talk
 

This is a good turn for me, a very good turn. No ill fortune (despite one very unlucky province), and I've enchanted my first batch of golems.

I won't give up all my secrets, but I'll tell you a few juicy details if you share some more gossip. There may be a small bit of misinformation mixed in, but no lies. Promise. We mean nothing by it, its just that after you're pushing up past 500, you tend to confuse things sometimes. Why, just yesterday I forgot where I left the keys to my cave. Thank goodness those kind young barbarians came by and offered to break down my door.
