The glory of the Old Ones is fading. Our troops on the surface will fight until the end, but alas, it appears unlikely that we will prevail against the southern demon hordes. Beware the Palankasha! It appears the Lanka demons will soon feast upon our Ancient Wet One.

The spirits of the Old Ones have given us victory! A miracle! Three lone Earth Readers overcame vast odds, and though wounded, outlasted the Demon's monkey slaves.

It is not our way to surrender, but we are oh so tired. Would that the nations of ocean and land rise and come meet us in glorious battle, in all our territories! Then we shall slumber again, deep beneath the surface, until another age comes.

(ooc: K - was that bizarre or what! I never thought they'd actually take the province)

(ooc: Yeh, giant earth mages can take province defense with a little luck, even only using Flying Shards. If you had Blade Wind and Earth Power you could have retaken provinces at will with just those three guys. )

Just dropping a note that I will be very busy this weekend. Normally on weekends, these games can fly by, but I'll prolly only have time for one turn a day.

Just letting everyone know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Game Scores and Map
 

Many thanks to the frightful Demons of Lanka for engaging our Nation in one final glorious battle. We can now return to our roots beneath the mountains.

ooc: gg, and congrats to K for rolling through my provinces most efficiently!

Re: Game Scores and Map
 

ooc: Good game, and keep watching. My simultaneous battles against both Abysia and Ry'leh will be most entertaining.

Yay! Was just coming here to ask if server was down or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Just a few things....
 

First, an apology. I'm not one to simply attack another player unprovoked. I kinda like the AI's approach to declaring holy war before I do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But I have noticed that, with this game atleast, people don't seem to be getting some of my messages.
So to jimkehn, I'm sorry if it appeared I attacked you unprovoked. I know way earlier I had sent a message about possible alliance, but it seems to have not gotten through. I've also noticed my mages seem to not follow their casting orders, ritual spell-wise.

That being said, I'm very pleased with how things have progressed anyways. This has been an exceptionally fun game thus far. While I may have outnumbered Abysia's armies, he has certainly outnumbered me in flaming bolts falling from the sky. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif And the war with raveboy in the north is just exciting.

I know, people will think it dumb to write details of battlesin the forums. Letting others know how well I may or may not be doing. But I don't care. I play for fun and this game has definitely been that.

Just wanted you guys to know.

I don't take these games personal or serious. I too, have been having tons of fun. And yes, looking at the graphs and vfb's website, my armies are much less numerous than yours. Or anyone else's in the game. 8^) So far, I have been pleased with Abysia's magic abilities..especially the Annointeds' of Rhuax. That alone has kept me in the game on more than one occasion. I have not done as well as I would have liked in finding my strengths and my opponent's weaknesses. This is my first "real" MP game, and hopefully I will present more of a challenge next time. I am still learning.

Having said all of that, this is the first time in a long, long time that a game has obsessed me so. I enjoy a lot of different games, most of them historical military simulations a la Panzer Campaigns and Birth of America. This is not my favorite genre by far, but the depth and breadth of this game is breath taking to say the least. And while the game is enormously immersive, I can separate the role playing within the game from gamers who are also playing the game and attack me. After all, that is the point of the game, no? Who knows....next game we may be the closest of allies. I hope that happens.
