TURN 8:
R'lyeh sends me a silly greetings. That's ok as long as he doesn't attack me.
Sorry, I didn't copy the fluff and don't care at all about messages which are not clear, and since this just ment "Hello".
My pretender proves that a lich is superior to 4 elephants:
Tir na n'Og province 12 allows the recruitment of toad shamans (amphibious, W magic, sacred). That's nice.
Looking at the dark candle in 13, I bet that Abysia's demonbred prophet is there. I move to take 30. Not that it's useful, but just to make sure Abysia doesn't try to get there for some reason. I also try to take the archers/infantry/undead province in the north. I hope longbows + minotaurs + maenad decoys + one dryad will be enough, but I'm likely short on numbers.
I recruit only 1 Pan this turn, and a scout. I hope to start building a fort next turn.
I'll never be able to by the way. So far noone has a second fort but that will not last long and I'd like to lock the entry of the island.
In other news, Abysia, Helheim and Caelum didn't expand this turn.
Which kind of proves Abysia is moving all its troops towards me but I wanted that not to happen so I remained blind.
