Turn 11

Atlanasha managed to summon 3 Things from Beyond this turn and a witch has cursed some of my troops for taking her gems in Talito..

The battle in C�tis proved to be harder than expeced, due to C�tis pretender � who posed as a master druid - being a green dragon with 200 HP, 18 prot and 18 magic resist who has able to summon undead in addition, too. Other than that I was facing a marshmaster prophet and about 15 militias. The pretender was casting berserk and summon undead for some turns, then flew to my troops to attack. On the first turn my summons in combination with mindburns and bLasts were able to damage him for 92 HP, but I lost 1 thing from the Void in the counterattack. On the next turn the pretender was brought down to 43 HP and failed to kill another summon. While the undead (commanded by the marshmaster) were getting into close combat range the pretender was killed by the coordinated attacks of my summons, but some were severely wounded. After the undead killed 2 Formless Spawns the Things from the Void broke and retreated. The Formless Spawns kept killing the longdead and the Illithids kept bLasting the militias. In the end I lost my Last Formless Spawn, but C�tis army was routed and destroyed.

C�tis (27) � 31.820 pop, 90% tax, 2 UR, 99 inc, 49 res, 0 def, dom -2

My order scale in R�lyeh is finally back up to 3.

Vepitre (14) has been taken by Pangaea and now my province of Gol Phalas (26) borders on both Abysia and Pangaea. I am thinking about raising my defenses in Gol Phalas to 21, but since I am not sure if the defences will really stop the AIs from attacking I think that I will further concentrate on building up offensive power instead of defenses.

Abysia has an estimated 20 Abysian Infantry and Humanbreads in its captial while Pangaea has about 40 satyrs and satyr hoplites in Vepitre.

I will start to concentrate more on building troops and moving my armies to Gol Phalas now, but in order to keep improving my research I will recruit star children in C�tis.

I will have to pick up my 2 Last remaining Things from the Void from Deshid, but am tempted to move my armies to Gol Phalas via Hoburgdorf (34), but the 40-100 Ichtyids there are looking fairly strong to my 2 understrength armies, but in order to keep up my momentum I will attack.

I got a 1W, 3As, 1D, 1N mage this turn who will participate in my research project, too.

Since I have no prophet till now and need a �non researching� commander anyway I will recruit a starspawn priest in R�lyeh this turn in addition to 3 Illithid Soldiers.

I will reach conjuring 5 (and acashic records due to it) this turn and will invest the remaining 6 PRs into thaumaturgy to go after paralyse, soul slay, gateway and enslave mind.

To be continued...
