Re: Suddenly
 

Perhaps Caelum could use a couple of those spare wheelbarrows to haul away its couple of newly deceased Eagle Kings, while it's at it!

In other news, could we get the timer extended by 24 hours or so? It looks like tomorrow will be a rough day at work, and having a Saturday to play would be a blessing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Another extension
 

I'll even have to extend it another day now, too. I have to teach my father some PC usage and after he has managed to be able to read and send emails for quite a while now, he is trying to come to terms with attaching files and using the clipboard. This takes HOURS and dozens of handwritten pages with instructions. Sometimes I wish my dad was like one of those here on the forum, or at least a little computer savvy.

It\'s showdown time!
 

I'm surprised to see my province count being beaten by another nation, and it's Oceania the Dominion monster, no less! They almost draw even in gem income now, too!

Congratulations, I wasn't aware that your recent campaigns would do you that much good in such little time. You even own as many capitals as I do since quite some time. Do you happen to have encountered these sudden plague outbreaks across them, too?

Unfortunately our graveyards at home are full and overbooked, what with these sudden and unexplainable plague outbreaks at our magnificent castles. Not even all the corpses have been able to get buried in High Caelum so far!

That's why we sent our funeral processions towards Mount Cephalos now, in the hope that our warriors might find their final rest in the graveyards there. Please excuse us breaking down the castle's entrance doors, we'll be replacing them as soon as we are running the place.

Plagues
 

Oceania has no need of plagues. With our wonderful Death-3 scales, our population can die off all on its own quite nicely. Please keep any infected populations in strict quarantine.

Now, if only we actually had an army worthy of our huge tracts of land! We'd consider ourselves to be doing very nicely if right now it was forty moons since the Watcher awoke, rather than seventy five.

Vanheim
 

Oceania wants to know if Vanheim is going to prepare for what's looking like the soon to be expected siege of their capitol in Oceania's attempt to get a fourth capital city. Since Mind Elemental seems to have been able to reawaken him in the past, is there interest by him in playing the rather unfortunate demise of his nation out? I'd expect that he could throw the last gems that he owns in a desperate attempt to throw back or cripple the invaders. Otherwise I would say there's no shame in setting oneself to AI in this situation.

Re: Vanheim
 

Well, we may be doomed but why not go down fighting? Looking forward to seeing this through to the end.

Re: Vanheim
 

Well, that could have gone better, but nevertheless it was well worth the price. Surprising to see all adjacent provinces to Mount Cephalos fall into enemy hands this turn - I wanted to force your units into the "no retreat" trap, not the other way around. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Caelum has to mourn over the loss of her High Seraphine because of this, her clairvoyance will no longer be protecting the eagle kin from their foes. She will be dearly missed. The battles in Forest of the Dead are another such example of unfortunate timing - the Werewolf goes first and unexpectedly wins the fight against the defenders, only to get slaughtered to pieces by the Ghost Riders that I sent myself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Re: Vanheim
 

I was wondering what happened in that province! Thanks for enlightening.

Re: Vanheim
 

I hope that Vanheim doesn't stale this turn after all this preparation of the last one. And neither Arco, of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Vanheim
 

Who, me, stale? Nevah! You're not getting rid of me that easily! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Still, could we get a brief extension for the next turn, since I've already taken this one - say, another day or two?

Well worth the price? I suppose time will tell. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
