How very convenient of you to show only your own empire in that picture without showing the mainlands of Marverni. Mainland where incidently Pangaean troops were fighting in full swing. As for the rest of the comments, I too can create pictures that conveniently leave out the important parts

TC did kill only some 280 troops this turn, true. But they were sadly not many maeanads or manikin present, but the heavy hitting stuff of Pangaea No, Pnagea is not on its knees for sure, but this means TC will be able to steam-roll for a couple turns. When the best of my best troops get slaughtered by a few double-blessed pegasii (supported by 6 combat mages in that one battle only, with more in the other TC forces), it is time for a strategic withdrawal.

TC diplomats are super quality. They make TC appear weak, so that others, just of pity, would jump in and help them. In Pangaea we found out the truth the hard way, hopefully others don't have to make the same mistakes

Most people would say that the "mainlands of Marverni" include its capital. Which is prominantly displayed on the pictures I provided.

It was you, not I, that made the statement that *I* had abandonned the fight against Marverni. So I showed a picture of Marverni troops deep within TC territories. And me fighting them.

I notice you are no longer contesting the fact that you invaded TC lands, not vice versa. Funny how pictures will do that.

As for steamrolling - thats not really the truth either now is it. If it were you would accept the following offer:
Challenge: Return to the turn25 boundaries shown on the map- accept Marverni's capital as your just rewards - plus all the *other* Marverni lands that you have already taken. Keep also the territory to the far right top - that you wanted so badly and where you admitted you *betrayed* me.. or do you need me to repeat your words?

You already have more of Marverni lands than I. Accept those- and its capital and you can have peace - and a chance to win the game.

But of course you will decline, as I am of no actual threat. A mistake, but I will prove it over the next several turns, starting by relieving the siege of Marverni, inshallah.

you mean.. "jump in and help themselves to our territories.."

Sorry, not interested!
Fortunately, not all nations have zombies for brains =P.

Of course Pangaea has. Pangaea has done all the fighting while TC saw it fit to attack Fomoria, and *then* come back and claim lands Pangaea has bled for when Fomoria apparently didn't agree to roll over and die as TC had hoped.

Also, *please* try to have *some* truth in the communiques, they would be much more trustworthy if there was even one piece of truth to hang on to. For example, Tien Chi did attack Pangaea, I do not understand *how* you can make Pangaea the aggressor when I have never attacked a single Tien Chi province (except to take one province back from your "accident", which you admitted and gave clearence to(altough Pan had to slightly freak out before TC was able to admit its mistake)) and with Tien Chi pegasi landing out of the blue sky into Pangaean lands.

But of course you will decline, as I am of no actual threat. A mistake, but I will prove it over the next several turns, starting by relieving the siege of Marverni, inshallah.

Of course I will decline. It is time *somebody* stands up to face the TC bullying before TC is in the winning position, which it btw is not far away from at the moment. I applaud at the *very* superb strategic skill Tien Chi has shown far managing the charts in an excellent way: To show low performance in charts, while in reality building for a massive turbo annexing frenzy. This is a lesson I do value a lot, and I am grateful I have been able to witness it so closely!


I do not have high hopes about the result of the war if it would remain 1 vs 1. But then again, I am pretty sure it does not stay so; TC silver tongue will lure more people to foolish actions while I certainly do hope some would realise what is going on and stop TC before they grow out of all proportion. At the very least Pangaea will give Tien Chi a full run for the money. Tien Chi *is* already in a class of its own, and none can stand against their might alone anymore.

*BREAK THE NEWS*

A glorious victory for Pangaea against the cruel and evil Tien Chi invaders!

FNN reporters were present today to witness a Pangaean army under the command of the prophet Hippothoos taking defensive positions outside the city of Marverni. From the east the feared enemy, the forerunners of the Tien Chi army advanced seemingly unstoppable. The Tien Chi forward force consisted of some 50 pegasus riders together with some sacred footmen. During the battle half a score battle-mages were also seen casting deadly spells over and over again against the ranks of Pangaean braves.

After hours and hours of heavy fighting Tien Chi troops retreated off the field. Behind they left the corpses of most of their superb pegasus riders, as well as practically all the sacred footmen. Pangaean losses were incredibly high, some 400 pangaeans will not see the new day.

"This is a great day for Pangea!" exclaimed prophet Hippothoos after the battle. "We have shown what Pangaea is made of, the enemy may kill us in droves but we will prevail!"

Some Pangaen observers were not as positive of the result. FNN succeeded to recieve a comment from an un-named woodsman blowpiper fighting in the Pangaen army: "If it takes this heavy casulties to stop their forerunners, how will we fare when their main army arrives?"

Indeed, the Tien Chi pretender (who is ranked 9F9W5S on the unofficial thaumic meter) leads a massive army consisting of warriors of five elements, Tien Chi national demons and other assorted troops towards Pangaean lands. The land is said to tremble miles away when the army marches. According to one source the army has already slaughtered two Pangaen pre-emptive self-defenseforces, and they were not able to even scratch the Tien Chi army.

Will Pangaea survive the onslaught of the Tien Chi main army? How many victories of this scale can Pangaea take before the casulties get too high? Where is the Pangaean Pretender who almost alone destroyed Marverni forces in the previous war?

Stay tuned to FNN and you will be the first to know the answers!

I'd like to report the use of an exploit:

As *specifically* listed as the biggest remaining exploit in Dominions, it is considered *not* permissible to use multiple domes in a province - which *was* used at the Marverni capital.

[statttis]

Isn't it only an exploit if you use multiples of the same kind?

I think the besieged Marverni AI has set up the other one. I am pretty sure when I attacked the province it had just the fire dome up, but I too noticed from this latest turn there are now two domes up. If needed I can backtrack turns and check what the situation was when I attacked the province the first time.
