Turn 3

No real story this turn. Sorry. I'm not very good at writing this stuff.

Anyway.

I get several surprises in the Messages. First and foremost, there was not 1 but 2 battles in Fenatice Last turn. I also see that I had an event in Ulm... dreading the worst, I am pleasantly surprised that it's a benign finding of 5 Air Gems. Now, if I only had an Air Mage...

Anyway, Pythium and Caelum make prophets out of a Serpent Lord and a Storm General, respectively.

I look at the first battle of Fenatice, and see that I had taken out the LI/X-bow enemies losing only 2 troops (I think Barbarians). Looking at the second battle, I find out that C'tis also wanted the province, but I beat him out destroying his initial army losing 12 troops of my own. I plan to capitalize on this immediately.

Finally, Evita (1S1N) joins Irma & the Ditz (WB show coming soon!) in the research squad.

Now, for orders:

Karl + Rexor move to attack the C'tissian province of Zimmria, located to the NW of Fenatice. The plan is to see if we can rapidly roll back C'tis to their starting province, and take them out before they get any worse.

Nan Bagor takes the troops produced so far (minus the Wolves) and moves to Fenatice.

My mages research.

I recruit a 3rd Fortuneteller, 3 Morningstar Infantry, and 4 Rangers (168 gold).

I reduce taxes in Fenatice to 50%, to offset unrest.
