Re: Small Talk
The war between me and R'lyeh is going swimmingly.
My forces have been forced to go back upstream, but all is well. I couldn't be having more fun if a magic fish granted me three wishes.
R'lyeh has made his counterattack, reclaiming 67 & 75 Barra and Bhamot (though I may never have had either. He's got a mind-numbing amount of Illithids, and will probably take back 80, 85 next turn. I expect my measly forces will have to abandon the siege of the Crystal Fortress (85), but I hardly expected to take down a 1000 strength fortress with 40 something troops... I've pulled back my forces to friendly territory further inland, so I can defend fewer targets.
Lets see... what else isn't classified?
The war started with me making a _failed_ attempt at buying all R'lyeh's mercs away. Fortunately, they weren't nearby. At the same time, I invaded with a small force that probably consisted of twenty light infantry and some kind of independent archer.
This force took out amazingly undefended provinces, and allowed me to claim 80 and 75. Barra and Abi. At least one other force was involved, and prevented the Crystal Fortress from producing any reinforcements. All in all, a low investment for quite a bit of havoc. Somewhere around 450 gold for the one force, and perhaps I should have been a bit more careful about letting it die off, considering my miserly ways.

And now, I accidentally quit without saving. Damn you, window mode. Well, at least its only the orders lost, not battle results like in other games.
