Now hallucinations !

Toads DO NOT fall from the sky ! They don't have wings you know ?!! You should ask to your local nature mage...

And since Marverny still deny everything we'll write here the full story about his secretary :

You know Lanka is a land of demon. And us demons know how to have fun. We make some music, we dance a lot and when the feast is about to end we sacrifice a virgin. We do not intend harm to anyone but that's the way of things you know ! So at the end of the ceremony in Gol Amrod we were seeking a virgin and we politely ask the Marverni's secretary if she was one.

Here is her answer :

BTW Lanka can see the word spread fast about his great feast ! There are about 400 uninvited (weak) guest at the gate of Gol Amrod.

Come in ! Come in ! Everyone is welcomed ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Marverni would like to point out that several anomalies exist in the purported image of our secretary. Notice the blue fabric covering the portion of her physical anatomy above the waist. Clearly this is not an image of one of the world-renowned Marverni Bare-Chested Secretaries. We have reason to believe evil photoshop magic was used to alter an existing image of a true Secretary of Marverni.

Concerning Gol Amrod, be warned that we are hiring the fearsome fighting force of Urgek's Beast Brothers to reinforce our lines. Once he has joined our forces, we will be invicible! Lanka will never break our siege!

-- Secretary to the Minister of Truth, Marverni Nation

PS Could Lanka please consider having its Demons refrain from consuming all of the edibles in Lanka Land. It's not like they really need to eat, and Rock found his recent meal of Monkeys to be a tad lean. We would appreciate Lanka fattening them up a bit.

A crack team of Marverni researchers is attempting to determine what caused a rain of toads in the capital this month. They have not reached any definite conclusions yet, but did managed to locate a surveillance image taken at the time of the event:

The Archbishop has consulted with the Augurors, and quite clearly, we must apologize.

We had no idea that Muppets were involved. Which clearly implies that we must cancel our date with the Secretary, while researching anti-monkeycraft flame pillars and Spandex melting.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

heheh, I'm not toast or anything (yet) but would like to understand what took place with my commanders in province #22.

A retreating scout had nowhere to go and should have croaked. And every single one of my commanders went into an adjacent province I had control of beforehand - their troops remained in the province (22), which was not under attack or anything else other than the scout discovery. And I'm as positive as one can be that they were under the command of the commanders in question - hardly anything in garrison. I was in the last turn of fortification building and so on. Also, a temple wasn't built that I paid for.

If possible, I'd like to verify this with the previous turn files, vfb, if they are available, please check them out and find out whether that sort of command was sent by me. Let me know. As it completely screws up a turn and a half of funding and can't figure out how it took place. Hopefully I was drunk or something, but. Uh. I'm pretty sure something is goofy.

This is the first hardcore bug I've experienced other than initial scale bugs right off the bat.

(fun fight there to the West though Mictlan! I'm hoping that someday those Jaguars stay in the malls and petting zoos where they belong! *sigh*)

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Sorry, I don't know how to analyze the turn files. And I don't keep backups of the turns in games that I run, since I'm in the games. I zipped up the current turn just in case there's anything someone (who is more technically competent than I am) can do with it. It's attached.

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Damn ! We confess, your marverni scientists caught us in action !!!

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Not only that, we have solved the mystery of the photoshopped Secretary! In truth, it is an "alluring red headed Manushya Rakshasi". One of these beasts attempted to seduce a Marverni commander this month.

Marvervi greatly regrets that its Wind Mage foolishly followed scripting orders and cast Air Shield instead of immediately blasting the demon with a Lightning Bolt. We would appreciate a bit more original thinking in the ranks!

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

No no no ! Please assume the behavior of your secretary ! Our seductress got some lessons to learn from her...

Re: Newb Network EA Aran (Full)
 

Due to recent events, the Marverni nation has ended up with more Hot Delicious Steaming Monkey Demon Pie (tm) than we will be able to consume this month. Since it does not keep well, we invite the other nations of Aran to come join Marverni and have some yummy pie with us.

-- Secretary to the Head Chef, Marverni Nation.

PS No monkeys allowed, unless you are in a pie.
