Ha! The "misguided warmongering followers of Ulm" needs to visit the game thread more often, and we can attest to the fact that the "peaceful, innocent winged folk of Caelum" sitting atop their mountain have cracked more than teeth. Two legs and and an eye to be exact http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
The Ulmish people are a tranquil lot, in fact we have a meditative mantra. It goes a little something like this.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Not sure if hEad has let you know Hadrian_II, but he is having to rush off for a while for personal reasons, so won't be able to carry on playing this game. Might be worth looking for a sub for him or setting him AI (I can do that for you), depending on how good his position is.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I got a PM from him, as he is bordering me, and i had always the intent to conquer him, i will conquer marveni now, and i suppose other neighbours might want to do the same, so the sub should know how to fight a war or might get frustrated.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Hrm, looks like Ulm is going to surround our mountainous home. Aww, I had hoped to have more than one nation try to conquer the home province. ; )

(Just a note: I may be developing a rep--among those that look over past posts--of destroying territories foes invade when losing. No one in this game has lied or misled me in the least, violating my own particular code of honour, so I have no reason to used scorched earth here; I lost, fair and square. The home province was 200-tax-patrolled to fund my initial expansion at the start, but it is still at around 26k pop, and has 3 Growth. I'm taxing it normally now; I'm going to make it as hard as I can, but by the time it's cracked, the egg should be juicy indeed!)

Have fun with the game, everyone, and may the best nation win!

Sorry to dissapoint, Tien Chi picked a fight that I'm gonna finish.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Actually 200 tax patrolling your home province even if you are losing is a good idea as you can simultaneously defend your production center and make a profit. As long as one doesn't pillage and destroy the castle on top of that, I don't think that can be considered scorched earth.

I have never played early age Caelum but those eagle kings look like they have the potential to destroy entire armies depending on how far up the research tree you are, so I doubt all is lost.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

It looks like Marverni is going to stale again, since hEad has officially left the game. Can we please either have them set to AI, or else turn off the timer while we search for a sub. No one's going to want to jump in and take over a nation that is both being invaded and has repeatedly staled.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Yomi has been completely defeated. My turmoil/luck scales yielded a rich crop of brigands and "one fifth of the population as left for greener pastures" events. Got some goodies as well, that I was completely unable to put to good use.

Have given Ulm a healthy leg up if nothing else ....

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Set Marverni to AI. No one takes beaten nations. We are wasting time.
