Re: Pause for Easter ?
 

Hum, well, if the other players need it. As I said I do not, but since tomorrow is friday, I figured it would be nice to have. a reminder just before the week-end.

Another question for you ich : will the game still run even without timer if all turns are sent ?

Re: Pause for Easter ?
 

yes

Re: Pause for Easter ?
 

Yeah that would be great. I´m away for easter too.

Re: Pause for Easter ?
 

Ill get my turn in tonight when I get home.

Ulm Triumphant
 

First, I'd like to thank Hoplosternum for being my opponent in my first big multiplayer war. Certainly I'm still learning a lot of the differences in SP...I mean, I thought I was all bad-*** because my smiths were going to trash his indie archers with Blade Wind, so imagine my surprise when his dwarves whip out Blad Wind on me! ("No! NO! Only I am allowed to have decently researched spells!)

In the name of the Iron Cult, Vanheim has been all but destroyed by valiant Ulsman, and its capital is in our hands. The terror of dual-blessed Vans will no longer trouble Primea. (Incidentally, they tore my Black Halberds to pieces; quirk of when turn starts/stops, it was my Black Knights that had to hold the line against them while my smiths did the damage). We have freed the citizens of that realm from the evil illusion of the "glamourous" Vanir.

And, of course, trade: Ulm wants fire gems, and will trade basically any other type for them, although obviously we have more of some gems than others. (Water, Death, and Nature are what we have the most of, have least Air/Astral)

Re: Ulm Triumphant
 

Nicely done ! I was so afraid of that cavalry !

I profit from this post to say I also have lots of water gems with no use for them.

We also have a lot of water gems, and would like nature gems or earth gems in echange if possible !

Also, this day only for you all : a new Rhea novel !
"Once again, the warcries resonated in the empty halls of Farseer mountains. The lizard that inhabited there were too alien to be of good company, and everyone else had left. The war against Ermor was started too soon, and as a result, most of Pangaean territory had been rampaged. The counter-attack worked though, and they fled from Pangaean lands... or died there.

War was everywhere, and to the North, the people of Vanheim was killed by some other people, from Ulm. A lot of gods where running around these days, and Rhea wished she hadn't gotten involved with all this.

The Lord of Forest had decided that the enemy was Shinuyama. The citizen barely had enough time to enjoy bandit-free lands that the war started anew. This time though, it would be different. That's what the citizens were told, at least. But Rhea had seen a lot since the Lord took over Pangaea. The lord was not understandable by mortel minds such as herself. He also went berserk for no reasons at all, or maybe reasons that made only sense to him. The last time it happened was a few month ago. He went to medidate in the forest on a whim, came back with several dozens of maenads, and new orders : war !

She knew that he occasionally shouted orders when berserk, but since the first war began, orders where followed, no matter what the state of mind of the Lord of Forests was. But even a God couldn't berserk after a few month of meditations, and still that order was issued. Thus the war started."

War against Shinuyama
 

"The first victory had been achieved. Even if it was a small one (another army with the same size was approaching) and the loss where tremendously high, 7 of the 12 enemy commanders had been killed, along with more than 160 of their units, for about equal loss (except we lost no commanders). The battle had been harsh though, and the wrath of the evil god still made casualties after the war ended. Fire rained but fearless maenads still ran happily to the enemy ranks, taking more and more of their lives in exchange for their own. Centaur archery exchanged arrows against the foul fire magic of the opponent, and got out mostly intact. Casualty where high, but mainly maenads, forest beasts and harpies where lost. All of those could be replaced."

Be happy Shinuyama, you will see Rhea fight soon !

We would also ask our friends here to share a quick prayer to Pammon. He heroically took the life of 1 militia in a suicidal charge against 197 enemy units.

Re: War against Shinuyama
 

Pan you are over extended, my losses can be quickly replaced and mobilized.

Your backstabbing aggression shall be your doom Mr. Hall of Shame.

Re: War against Shinuyama
 

We shall see http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'd like to remind you that I had no mages this time, while you did. How will the next battle turn out, I wonder...

Re: War against Shinuyama
 

Primea's two largest armies (Pan and Shin) battling it out! Almost a shame I can't see battles between them.

Shinuyama has many more castles, but Pan has scads of freespawn. Trading with Maenads 1:1 is a losing proposition imo.

Plus, I can't imagine Shinuyama has made many friends with the Wrath of God. Even some of my troops are getting hit, and I have no direct border with Shinuyama.

Also: Ulm still wants fire gems, and will trade gems of any other type for them 1:1. I have scads and scads of water gems and will trade water for fire 2:1.
