I vote for Rhyleh to AI, unless Shawn request otherwise.

Oh and nice write up doctor!

I was going to write something stupid in reply... but it would pale to the elegance of your post so I'll just leave it as a compliment.

The end of times comes soon for our people. We can blame no one but ourselves for this. Our early scouts were over zealous and erroneously attempted to take control of undefended provinces.
Although we could do nothing about the demon nation that decided to take our provinces by force. The many armed being that dances through our lands wreaking havoc is but another deathknell for us.
To awaken this morn to find that almost the entire population of our capitol was taken by some strange force and turned into plant beings was a dire omen indeed.
We will not be long in this world, but we are making efforts to ensure our death has a ripple effects that cames back upon those who threw the stones in our pond.

OOC: Been fun! but it won't be long for me now. Hope to do it again with a little more success next time.

I don't think R'leyh staled last turn. At work now so i can't be sure, i'll check when i get home.

Re: Rant
 

And he just took his turn right now. So my apoligizes.

Re: Rant
 

Mictlan has sent me all of his gold and gems - want to set him to AI?

P.S. - your cooperation and lack of selfishness disgusts me! I am forced to pull back by the combined might of Agartha and Sauromatia, plus Caelum also has a lot of little girls with wings in robes. We will have our vengeance, however, do not doubt it!

Re: Rant
 

Actually we are acting selfishly. A wise man once said

"It is healthy and natural for people to gang uo on weaker or stronger opponents. As the Hitler-Stalin example illustrates, this is the sort of thing different religions, even if they completely hate one another by dogma, would do for their own self interest."

The mightly Neifelheim empire split up 3-5 ways will benefit all of use "real" gods.

I'm just glad you don't have that high of a dominion. I shudder to think about those giants with 120HP regenerating 30 per turn with your gift of health.

At least you are being a good sport about it... its hard to be #1 and watch your empire crumble beneath you. Happened to me enough times http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[of course I should my toungue... as your defeat is far from a sure thing at the present time]

I think Gandalf will have to set Mictan to AI... but it would be far far easier if Mictan would set himself to AI. It is a "Become computer controlled" choice under the options button.

Re: Rant
 

Don't worry about Mictlan, I've hopefully just taken his last two provinces (can't check it yet).

Re: Rant
 

Sorry that I stalled a turn there. School and work was making it difficult to get to the game for a couple days there. Either way, I've been taken out now.

Re: Rant
 

Yeah I was pretty sure I would be dead this turn, haven't checked yet.

My back is certainly up against the wall
 

Argh! I had meant to fling all three of those murdering winters at that Sauromatian army (the damage stacks). Ah well, I got a bunch of Agarthans, and I probably would've lost that fight anyway.

So - I can't fight all four of you at once. Specifically, I need either - Sauromatia *and* Agartha to back off, or for Sauromatia *or* Agartha to switch sides and ally with me. So, here's the deal - if one or the other of you will break your current alliance and ally with me, I will direct my eight remaining murdering winters at the other, just for starters.

If neither Agartha or Sauromatia will agree to ally with me, I will split the murdering winters 50:50 (and manage them a bit better, to boot) and give all of my remaining magic items and gems to Caelum. For those keeping score at home - that's 307A, 55E, 153S, 177D, 39N and 258B, twenty skull mentors, some nature and earth boost items, and that thug equipment on my eastern cadre of niefel giants.

Ermor, Vanheim and Caelum - whom I wish to crush completely - need not apply.

For the record, although it is to your advantage to ally against a stronger foe, it is also to your advantage to jockey with position among yourselves, and to try and get one of the other players to take the brunt of my counterattack. Your lack of cowardice disgusts me.

I salute Ermor for his judicious betrayal and will deal with him with the respect he deserves http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
