Turn 53
The water province fell, but my Kraken died in the fighting. The Asp Turtle is pretty impressive in combat! I also captured T'ien Ch'i's Swamp Fortress. Here is a shot of my Yavanas entering the fortress.
T'ien Ch'i must be getting desperate - he tried breaking Vanheim's siege again, with as poor a result as previous times. I think what I need to do is outfit a very strong army and go directly there, defeat Vanheim's army, and try to take the city. It could happen!
Devasura and friends are site searching in the province of the fort they just captured. Apala is taking her asp turtle back the the starting province to summon another one and cast the incantation known as 'Voice of Tiamat' on the newly conquered province. I'm equipping the army to the south with bags of wine, amulets of missile protection, and earth boots for the Yakshas. Bishen the Siddha is going down there this turn to join the army. Then next turn they will plunge into enemy territory.
I'm setting Arana to build temples, since for every five temples I build my maximum dominion goes up by one, and thus the number of Yavanas I can recruit goes up.
