Re: The Seers Speak from the Grave -Tidings of DOO
Largely my feelings too. In the South it was a turn of stalemate. Lots of irritations for both of us, nicking each other's provinces without any actual battles. I actually would have stayed at your capital for a big fight, but from your last post I got the impression you were going to sit tight forever until all my troops died of disease, so I decided to capture a neighbouring fort for a bit of good quality Chalice time. However, if you are up for a fight, then we shall have one this turn - I can't get inside your fort before you attack me.
In Bandar nothing happened. My SCs claimed a couple more provinces. Considering Tyrant's comment about SCs above I wonder whether my original plan to attack Man and TC mainly with armies, and Bandar mainly with SCs was a good one.
Finally in T'ien Ch'i there was a little more drama. I saw TC's large army coming towards one of my forts and plonked my Fire King down in his path. Alas, I misjudged again... despite a high MR (22, 21 in TC's dominion) he was quickly paralyzed and repeatedly killed. Ugh, two Fire Kings down out of two, and that really is a horrible amount of elemental royalty I've lost now. However TC continues to lose land to an annoying army of mine that's circling his capital, while my Massive Force approaches from the South. Unfortunately my Massive Force is also now diseased - who did that then, eh? Disease everywhere. All my armies are diseased now, it's quite annoying.
Also the spy situation has become ridiculous (see the attachment). Spies go home!
