Dear all,

There are reports of a disease in Atlantean territory. If this should prove to be the result of another nation seeding our territory with disease-bearing units, it will be considered an act of war, and treacherous breach of NAP if applicable.

Our border patrols have been heightened to a state of alert, and will expect to catch any potential offender soon.

Well turn 25 is past, any need for 48h hosting from anyone? Also is anyone going to have a xmas without access to dom3/internet, so do we need to postpone the hosting until next year? I'm currently working nights so it's going to be tight squeezing some turns in for some games.

Re: Discharge - LA game - Started
 

I'm going to be away from the 25th to the 1st.

Re: Discharge - LA game - Started
 

Very well, we'll be going to xmas break on 23rd or so until 2nd of january

Re: Discharge - LA game - Started
 

Can we start the break sooner, say, ASAP? I'm at my girlfriend's parents' for Christmas holiday, and it's pretty awkward.

Re: Discharge - LA game - Started
 

I'm OK with an earlier than anticipated break, work has been picking up lately so some more free time would be nice...and I still haven't gotten around to doing my Christmas shopping.

Hecata stared at the map. Blasted Atlantians. Killing her armies. Endangering her lands. Thwarting all her plans. She had to act now before they reached the western seas becoming untouchable. Still she could strike at them. The towers had been built. The pawns were in position, ready to lead the knights. The bishop was being moved. "Check" she muttered to herself ...

... This was madness. Marching all night through the thickest of woods. They said Atlantians could see at night. A bat was flying over him. Maybe it was just him but those damn buggers were becoming more and more.
When they reached the end of forest the moon was shining bright revealing the Atlantian militia. At least they wouldn't have to worry about the light. "Infantry form up! Rangers ready crossbows!" he yelled. After some seconds the sergeant replied "Crossbows ready!". He waited, letting the Atlantians come closer. "Volley!" ...

... After the prayer he looked at the men. The knights saluted, faces of stone. But the infantry ... too many fresh recruits, too many worried faces.
He sighed. "Boys just keep this in mind. We will not drown. Don't try to breathe. Keep the ranks and watch your neighbour. Reinforcements are on the way. Be steady and we shall see the sun again." Silently he added: "Some of us. ... Maybe.". "Let's go!" ...

... Knock. Knock ... Knock. ... Knock. Knock. He opened the door and urged the cloaked man to come in. Just as he shut the door again an Atlantian patrol turned around the corner. They waited in silence as they went away. He lit the candle. All were assembled now. "The order has arrived. It is time to reveal ourselves. Get the girls and the daggers ..."

... It was black magic. He knew. His fiancee was a with. His, the blessed one's. The items she gave to held power. Unholy ... but in a strange harmony with the power of the blessing. If the order ever found out ... there was no way back now.
She had led him below the waves and now they were standing before the Atlantian forces. He still loved her. They would not harm her. At this thought his heart started to pound like a hammer falling down on the anvil. She kissed him while he turned towards the advancing Atlantians. He felt untouchable. Never miss, never tire.
He charged impaling one on his lance. He gripped his sword ...

Bah. The traitors of Ulm. They ask for a NAP, agree to it after negotiations, and then stab their fellow signatories in the back after less than 10 turns.

Still, there is at least one bight side. Apart from one loose province, Ulm shared no land border with Atlantis. Their brief advantage in numbers and surprise will rapidly turn into a wholesale slaughter. Their troops may be granted underwater breathing but still flounder like beached whales; their mermen are barely skilled and worse equipped; they cannot supply enough waterbreathing for adequate magical backup to their armies.

The war underwater will be short and - for Ulm - very painful. Then Atlantis can strike anywhere and everywhere along Ulm's coast...
