Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take the vigorous but declining Machakan Empire, apply your competence (which I lack) versus Vanheim's raiding tactic, apply your charisma (also wanting under current leadership) to find at least one friend and survive the middlegame of Throne of Heavens.

You have lots of cool equipment, including the Chalice and access to the Tartarian Gate, but should you get crushed within 10 turns, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions.

This post will not self-destruct in 5 seconds, Gandalf willing.

As that nototious Vanheim raider I can say that the Zapemiester's description of situation is quite accurate.


Few words about the game. It is midgame in no-newbies game called Throne of Heavens, played on zen's cradle map, turn 47, currently set of 24h quickhost, with possibility to switching to 48h quickhost. There are several (four) leading nations in the game in close race with each other in every field, Machaka is one of them. Up until several turns ago Machaka was the strongest nation in the game, but as Zapmesiter wrote their fortunes have somewhat declined recently.


Nevertheless it is still one of the major power in the game, with Chalice, Hammer of the Forge Lord(?), Gate Stone, and other powerfull artifacts, as well as gems, good reseach, armies, large territory and ability to summon Tantarian gods to do their bidding. Their main problem atm is the raiding by Vanheim.

If you think you could take rein in powerful if a bit decadent Empire and try to reverse its fortunes and restore its glory thought military might, magic or dimplomacy, please contact Zapmeister.
