Principe - EA Machiavellian newbie game - Game started!

[Mithras]

I've talked myself into a pickle here, who knows how to get your guys to fight themselves? I think theres going to be some purging going on in Neifelhelm soon...

[Tifone]

Yep hunt11, I think the pace is fine and makes me very happy, more fun with more turns But I just want everybody to remember we're in no rush and whoever needs to take the full 2 days before submitting his turn is in his full right and shouldn't feel guilty or anything

Are you sure about the 48h?

Llamaserver says its 24h when I look at it. Not that anyone stalls mistakenly.

Excerpt from the chronicles "The first years AD"


"...
And when the tribes had conquered the lands surrounding them they met two races unheard of. To their south lived the giants of frost, strong and proud warriors. And to the east the eagle kings ruled the skies. With both races the tribes sought peace for it was not the will of the druids to start the bloodshed.
But the Kings of Caelum had different plans. They poisoned the ears of the druids with lies about the giants and promises of riches the eagles could offer to the druids.
And at first the druids would believe them. But an unknown giant who would not reveal his face warned the druids of the impending doom and the druids had to decide who was to trust and who was not. Long the druids debated about this and finally reached the decision that it were the birds who were lying.
But alas it seemed to late for the snake showed its teeth on the beginning of the very next month and struck. And so the horns sounded over the hills and valleys to gather the warriors and the men put down the plow to take up the sword.
The war against Caelum had been called.
..."

Don't worry, it always says 24h but it is 48h

Well, looks like we have an ongoing war on fire

[Illuminated One]

Hmm, I thought of something.
While we have no scoregraphs now would does the game create scoregraphs when it is finished? There seems to be such an command but I've never finished a game so I don't know what it does exactly.

--finalhost Generate new turn, send out final score msg and exit

Would be kind of nice to look at them when the game is over just to see if your guesses were halfway right.

I must say I'm enjoying myself immensely, and the game has really just begun. The diplomacy and light role-playing have been interesting so far. Hope I can manage to keep myself alive long enough to see how it all works out.

Sneak peak

The Council of Ice is in uproar. The Niefel Jarls that make up the most prominant part of the council are on their feet shouting down the speaker at the centre. The juniour Niefel Jarl speaking looks over to his allies for support, they consist of a large number of Jotun Jarls with a few of the more headstrong Niefel Jarls and several reclusive Skratti.
The words he has just spoken are:
"Today we have begun out invasion of the little ones to the north there has been resistance but we have prevailed under the leadership of the great Prophet Brokk. We march alonside other ice children, the noble winged ones. Victory will be ours before the year is out."
The Jarls shout and argue over honour and peace and profit until sunset when reccess is called.
A group of Niefel Jarls steal away too an isolated chamber of ice and gather around a pile of broken stones, they bring out a map of the known world and pour over it discussing how best to fufil their plan...

In other words the giants didn't have enough popcorn

[Illuminated One]

Meh, the two strongest nations beating up the weakest one.
You've just made me remember my childhood. *sob*

Well, I'll just try to survive as long as possible. And if that is the last thing I'll do.

[Tifone]

I thought you were allied with the Jarls, actually
Well, the good and bad things of Machiavellian diplomacy I think...

Like one nation's very double tongue, which the Agarthans will NOT name now...
