I'm going to describe the bravery of my Pretender soon - I am just not ready right now for the text which does him justice. But it will certainly be written before the next turn after I have some sleep! ;)
And congratulations to R'lyeh! You are example to us all. :)

Added 24 hours to try and see what is going on with TC - looked like they were going to stale for a 3rd time. I will PM TC and see if we should look for a sub.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

I hope he shows up.
Another question, DonCorazon - what would you say about Ulm tactics? I was interested by Baalz' proposal some time ago but don't know how effective they are actually.
And on another topic - while it is certainly amusing to see Skaven cry treachery, our Foreign Ministry hereby officially declares that though we HAD offered them peace upon our first contact, we had no actual reply to this from them... ;) We have found that further pressing the matter was not in our interest due to geopolitical reasons. Of course, anybody observant can also see that they boasted on their attack on Caelum and then cried about Caelum attack... ;)

I have not heard back from TC - what do players want to do? Look for a sub, postpone for however long it takes to get an update on his situation ( I just added another 48 hours), or....? I hate to postpone to long as then other players start to lose interest / or in my case forget what the heck I was doing. :)

@Wrana: When you say his proposal, I am not sure what you mean? I think Ulm's strategy this game was reliant on a peaceful early game.

I meant Baalz's guide to MA Ulm:

Or he didn't use tricks from there this time? I ask before I'm thinking about using some of them for EA Ulm and would like to have first-hand report...

If this is true, i have just written down the nap, but forgot to send you my actual answer :doh:

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

Quite possibly. You should also consider your answers to trading proposal - arrogant at least - as one of the reasons any Oriental general should have attacked you the moment he had some means to... ;)
By the way, I wondered where your Grey Seers went - now we'll see what I can take them with...

the skaven empire: your nice furry friends
did just seem wrong :D

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 

You forgot Skavenspeak! :D
(Men-things, kill-kill, et al.)
By the way - a letter my scout forgot about, translated into Skavenspeak:
Rat-rat, knock-knock! :p

The great crusade seems plagued with misfortune. Several quick victories and the raising of a new fort saw the crusade nearly upon the gates of the capitol of men. Then disaster struck. Overconfident from their earlier victories, a large hoburg army was almost completely destroyed by one of Man's armies. That's when all hell broke loose. At almost the same time, a group of marauding knights attacked and took over one of the provinces the crusade had wrested from Man. The Abysians, apparently allied with the humans, suddenly attacked from the east, ruining all attempts to regroup and slaying most of the crusade's human host. Only a few months later, as the crusade sallies to fight back the scourge of abysian aggression yet another band of maurading knights has attacked, and now Hoburgdorf itself is under siege. It is a dark time for the Hoburgs, and the sacred beer is now consumed in such great quantity that the glorious sacred fountain has nearly dried up. If the great crusade cannot turn back the tide of abysian soldiers streaming across the lands quickly, the war will be lost.

But the greatest host the crusade has ever seen has been assembled, and the crusade has won its first battle against abysia's legions. Perhaps in the end the warriors of Hoburgdorf will yet still triumph over adversity, and bring peace to all the peoples of the land.
