Re: Getting the show back on the road
 

I sent a PM to poke Oceania about ten hours ago, and FWIW, Vanheim told me that he'd take his turn when he got back from work... which turned out to be a little bit late, but OTOH he's still interested.

Okay. It's too bad I didn't notice that the timer was about to run out until the turn notification email arrived. Still, with your absence before that have been about two weeks for a turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

The current turn for Oceania is powered by KissBlade. Just to save it from the fate of ending up stalling again this time.

Hmm... I guess that means I finally get eliminated now... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Turn 60 indeed marks the elimination of Ermor and Helheim. Sauromatia is soon to follow them, then the six remaining superpowers have to duke it out.

Re: Getting the show back on the road
 

Shortly before the empire of Helheim collapsed, a Black servant was seen in a Caelian fort with a Staff of Storms, previously looted from the corpse of a Caelian Eagle King during the first unsuccessful storm on Helheim's castle, and some Boots of Giant strength. The Black Servant was killed within minutes by the defenders, but the province defense didn't feel responsible to collect his belongings and the Great Hawks couldn't carry the Staff of Storms in their beaks. The mighty Staff of Storms seems to be lost for good in the outlands of Misty Hollow now.

The AI surprises again with creative equipment decisions...

A Little Clarification
 

I've been dancing around Oceania as much as possible while gobbling up Sauro lands, but I'm out of room to do so. While Oceania has broken the treaty I made with them, I'm pretty much 100% sure that that was, like, 4 players ago. Should I feel free to attack, or is there someone I can negotiate with at this point? Not sure what the etiquette here is.

Re: A Little Clarification
 

I'd say it depends on whether you re-confirmed it with the latest player. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Ich - ouch, that must suck. How did the AI manage to kill an eagle king, anyway? Did he get creamed by a lucky salvo from the fort's artillery? At least the black servant wasn't packing a bane venom charm... (hello, Ermor! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

Re: A Little Clarification
 

I don't know what you are suggesting... I NEVER fielded any black servants! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: A Little Clarification
 

I only did one turn for Oceania. I'm not certain if anyone took over =) Sorries!
