The Pythium player who posted in this thread seems to be back online; no news about Machaka though.

Somebody? You should know who the assassin was from buy looking at the end of battle message, like "The forces of <nation name> are routed" or whatnot. Tho I think the only nation in your game that has national assassins is Pythium?

Yup, if they tell you it could be the work of enemy spys, it *is* their work; the game never pulls pranks on you. Not often, at any rate. I believe other nations playing in the game have spies though... Hmm, Man does, but you *are* Man, or there might be a Spy mercenary (I doubt that).


Machaka also has units which can cause unrest.

Turn 24

The province tally is: Machaka 27, Ermor 25, Marignon 15, Jotunheim 14, Man 12, Pythium 12, Arcosephale 12, and Pangaea 12. Man found gems. Marignon now employs Obscuro, and Pythium has hired the Armored Fist of God. Dagan the Sage and Victor's Villains are open for bidding.

Good catch about Machaka and spies. Marignon and Machaka also have assassins, in addition to Pythium, and Abysia does too; in addition, there is a site allowing anyone to recruit them if memory serves.

You can get a random event where the independents try to assassinate one of your commanders too, and that seems to be the more likely explanation here.

If I remember correctly, Machaka can recruit a formidable assassin who can lead troops. It also has assassins-in-training who cannot assassinate but who are stealthy.

I know who tried to assasinate on of my commanders. I decided to use some diplomatic discretion, because the assasin inmidiatly retreated and the person doesn't have any visible troops on my border.

Machaka commanders are very nasty with their bane blades. One hit can kill a titan.

I'm not on a home computer right now, so I can't look at my turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It doesn't look like I'll be getting online for at least a week or so, possibly longer, so it might be best to find someone to take over Machaka long-term. My apologies for the trouble.

Everything going its merry way.

I notice Man lost a province, bad event or war?

Pythium hired the armored fist of god. Wonder if he noticed that only the mage was still left.

Dagan is still employed after all this time. Someone assasinate him.

Sorry to hear about your problem, CyborgMoses.

I can go on with playing Machaka, but I will be leaving in one week and a half (I am currently trying to find another host for when I am away). Still, if you can forward some general instructions, like recruitment priorities (mages/troops), building construction, research... feel free to do so.
