Jotunheim has expanded into Feldan (51), Faran (60) and Cacian Forest (45) taking the Last indi provinces to my northeast. This has me worried a bit since this was a fairly large/fast expansion which might mean that they don’t have any room left to expand elsewhere. I might be their next target which would be fairly bad timing for me since I would like to crush Pangaea first.

On the other hand I am not really worried about the giants. Due to enslave they might actually provide some nice additions to my armies Their main army consists of 30 troops, mainly slingers, axeman and 3 giants.

Ulm potentially is still able to expand into indi provinces to their west, but I will have to watch them closely, too.

Gol Ryepe (46) – 19.250 pop, 100% tax, 1 UR, 75 inc, 8 res, 0 def, dom -2
Glimmering Field (61) – 24.670 pop, 100% tax, 1 UR, 100 inc, 11 res, 0 def, dom 0

Scytha (35) -4.960 pop, 80% tax, 6 UR, 13 inc, 22 res, 0 def, dom 0

I keep bloodhunting in Dunheim (28) and Gol Phalas (26).

I will build a temple in Scytha this turn.


I got a 1A, 1W, 1E, 3S mage this turn who will research.

The Starshine Skullcap (+1S) is given to a 1W, 2D, 3S mage and I will send him and 4 lobo guards to conquer Kolermegor (5) which seems to be devoid of Pangaeans.

2 mages with summoner/enslaved troops and 6 Illithid Soldiers will try to conquer Vepitre (14) were my intel reports about 30 satyrs and satyr hoplites.

My remaining 2 mages with their summoned troops and 9 Illithids will try to take Aran Plains (23) where there are supposed to be about 50 satyrs and satyr hoplites.

The main problem here might be troop movements between the provinces – especially to Kolermegor. I am not really worried about movements to the other provinces since my troops should be good enough to handle nearly everything Pangaea might throw at me (short of their main army which might be building up in the capital).

I should wait another turn for my commander and his troops who will be moved from Abysia to Gol Phalas this turn, but I am fairly certain that I will be able to take at least 2 provinces this turn and since I will continue right on towards the Pangaean capital Pangaea will have to worry about the siege first.


A Thistle Mace will be forged on this turn by my newly empowered mage for 10 nature gems and will bring him up to 3N next turn.


I will recruit a starspawn mage in addition to 2 priests from the temples I build earlier in order to become serious about preaching out Abysia. Due to this I will recruit no more troops on this turn since I will need 400 gold for the 2 temples I plan to build on the next turn.


The 265 RPs will bring me up to evocation 5.


To be continued...
