Oceania is a lucky so and so...
 

So having observed Oceania's aggressive behaviour, I decide to bait a trap, I boost my border province with him to PD 30 and put the majority of my military might, plus a small army of mages there. I am confident he will attack and his knights of the depths will be utterly destroyed.

He attacked...but only 1 army (out of 2, less then half my force) and no mages turned up to fight. He trashed them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Why?

Well, I set the mages to site search and my prophet to preach. I got 'lucky' and discovered a site which turned up a castle, which of course mean't that by the time Oceania attacked only commanders/mages set to patrol would fight him...ARRRRGGHHHH!

So over half my army and my mages sat on there rear ends in the castle watching the 30 PD + other half my army be squished.

Now my 'new castle' is under siege, soon to be in Oceania's hands and I now have not got a big enough army to protect my mages long enough to destroy Oceania's forces. Especially as Oceania has brought up reinforcements.

Talk about 1 factor creating a utter military diaster...sheesh...the lesson of the day...when defending a province put all your forces on patrol.

I am going to scream in a dark room now...

Neifelheim Replacement
 

Quietly has decided to drop out of the game as Neifelheim. So, if someone would like to take over his spot, it is free. Otherwise, I will switch him to AI by Tuesday's hosting.

Turn 23

Re: Turn 23
 

I can sub. Anybody have a treaty with Neifelheim I should know about?

Re: Turn 23
 

Hi Baalz:

You're it! I do not know about any diplomacy with Neifelheim. You can contact Quietly about that.

I will send you the turn files, etc.

Thanks for taking the slot.

I am giving Migaaresno an extension because he accidentally deleted his turn. Hopefully, we'll host in the next few hours.

Re: Turn 24
 

Since I will be visiting my Ma during christmas I might have to drop out of this one (not sure if my Ma still has her ISP) - since I am just clinging to my fortress and trying to repel Jurri's attacks it will be no great loss to set the position to AI if I am not able to make the deadline.

PS: Or maybe I will get killed till then which would solve the problem... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
