The forces of Jotunheim have taken my capital... Unfortunately, my troops could not stand before the might of Jotunheim without breaking.
Unfortunately, their leaders yet live.

On the other hand, my troops still live, the cowards, and I've taken less casualties- unless you count stupid PD.
I've taken down two-thirds of their bless force, and my pretender has awoken. It's a bit risky, but I still have a chance.

Ulm... Do you need to discuss strategy/troop movements w/regards to taking down Jotunheim?

I don't have scouts in your territory, but I can resend my turn if necessary. I'm sending my troops into Anodyr, but don't look forward to an accidental skirmish between our forces. I'm also concerned about the sixty hostile forces in 116. Being undead, they can travel through the water. Do I need to clear a path through 116, 111, or do I not need to worry about their movement paths?

An unfortunate circumstance has happened. I have to take a trip to my moms house and I'll be gone for probably a week. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I'm playing Vanheim in this game, I guess you can just set me as AI.

Sad to hear. If you want a substitute, you could make a post over here: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...o=&fpart=1

But that's up to you. Hope things get better.

Atlantis is now one with the Void.

R'lyeh pays its respects to Atlantis which apparently got off to a bad start. I had a good start and my strategy was to find and eliminate you asap. Do not let this quick exit get you down.

Our respects to Jotunheim who is now under siege. You were a fierce opponent, but not prepared for the combined armies of Agartha, Ulm, and some rampaging Elephants.

The Elephant commander died a foolish death. My dearest condolences go out to the Pachyderm pack, who have went off to the elephant graveyard.

So Mr. Perfectionist, are you still alive and kicking? I can tell by the reversals of these posts. It wouldn't be the first time that someone has declared an early death but still managed to scrabble back into the game.

Yes. It was thanks entirely to Ulm that I didn't have to fight off a second wave of giants, which likely would have ruined me. Ulm now controls much of Jotunheim's territory. The thing that granted me the ability to fight off first wave of giants wasn't my poor research choices, but the awakening and equipping of my cyclopian pretender, Hillary Rodham Clinton who was more than a match for the few giants around my capital. Since I was capable of hiring enough mercenaries, and tramplers bigger than giants, I was able to clear those territories of mine.

I had one request to postpone this game for 24 hours, and as it happens, I am moving this weekend and will not have access to the internet until monday evening. I have postponed hosting for 72 hours, that is tuesday at 10:25 GMT I believe. If anyone has any objections to this, please let me know.
