Turn 26: Pause before the siege
 

Building armies and getting into position, waiting for the inevitable counter attacks. So, let's look at how we got into this particular conflict.

I should probably let Laddwr explain his own actions, so I will. My reasons for invading you should be fairly clear though. At the time I ran out of room to expand, and you were one of the three most powerful (and dangerous) nations in the world. You were also the only powerful nation neighboring me. Expansion is survival, stagnation is destruction, so I had to go to invade someone. Why let my rival get stronger, when I could get stronger by making them weaker? So, I decided to invade Hinnom. I had 2 other neighbors, why bother starting a multiple front war? So I sought alliances. They were both (at the time) weak, so they accepted my generous terms.

The best part of this, is that I don't have to fight them right after I beat you. If I take your mainland Sauromatia can still expand while allowing both Atlantis and Niefelheim to expand as well. The Great and Unsecret Alliance could last quite a while without hampering any of us.

VITAL EVENT: The fall of Agartha.

Good Game Thanatus del Dragos. You probably fought valiantly and stuff. I...don't think I interacted with Agartha at all during this game.

The first to be wiped out. Death by military conquest. I guess others have been at war longer, and far more quietly than me.

Awfully strange weather here in Fomoria. It's been raining toads for months!

Re: Nooblies - EA [9/8] players [Runing]
 

Not a lot of word from the world outside my borders. What's going on outside of the nations not in the war with Hinnom?

Re: Nooblies - EA [9/8] players [Runing]
 

Information is power. I shan't speak a word. ;)

Re: Nooblies - EA [9/8] players [Runing]
 

I made a lot of mistakes in the start and couldn't recover. I noobed myself to death.

Is Soviet Storm still playing? Abysia has 3 stales in a row and seems to be working on another for this turn...

Turn 27: HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH
 

So, my first magic stratagem is ready to mobilize. I am kind of happy about this. :D The sky will rain burning poison death (I hope).

To clarify, I am hoping to buy all kinds of gems. For my big scary magic push.

This is not a terribly eventful turn. Though, I think I will stop using hydras now.

Talrivian, you should enable the private messages.

I can't send you a message, so I will say it here.


WHAT?
Do you know Fomoria started attacking us?
We offered peace to them, and then they started attacking us without a word.
They captured us 2 provinces and built a castle so close of our reign.

We recruited more troops (Fomoria killed a lot of our troops)and start attacking.
Now it seems Fomoria's idea of to attack us was a bad idea.

They are lost their main army in an attack they did last month, without any important los for us.


Fomoria is in danger, so they call a far far far away nation to do an alliance.
I don't believe you defend the non-sense attacking Fomoria, who started our battle, the "Goat wars".

We are not a barbarian invader, only an angry defender.


Please, enable PM, because game messages are too slow, and posting here the messages is not a good idea.

Re: Nooblies - EA [9/8] players [Runing]
 

I enabled private messages. Sorry, I didn't know they were off.
:(

Anyway, I'm sending you a private message now.

Turn 28: learning...
 

So, now I know why you don't give a high powered caster a bunch of extra gems. Because they will go off script and waste every single last one of them in the first battle they fight.

Also, am I the only one who had to turn "neighbors" on in the map filter to figure out which provinces are connected? Apparently there are some teleporters set up along the coastal provinces.

Now I know more about the state of international politics. :D
