[Baalz]

The temporary reprieve for the nation of giants is at an end. Our armies march east today or tomorrow (depending on our their schedules) and there will be blood in the streams. Gnash your teeth Angerboda, for you have bitten the hand that was once extended in friendship and our wrath is terrible to behold. Watch in anguish as your disciples are strapped to our altars to worship our god with their lifeblood, and your daughters' life essence consumed to bind the very methods of your destruction. We bring blood and fire to your frozen mountains, and know well as the pyre of your own making consumes you that you will be chained for all eternity in the afterlife at the feet of the bloody god.

Also, please upgrade the server to the latest version

We may need to be careful with this one - all turns that have been submited before server went down were made with 3.01. If missing turns will be submited with 3.04 before the next hosting, it may crash the server.

Just read further into what Gandalf said - as long as the server is brought down (which it already is), then patched, then brought back up, there will be no problems.

The server is almost back up, except for the fact that the video card cooler fan melted and needs to be replaced.

The server is back up, and should stay up indefinitely now that I've identified and fixed the problem that was crashing it. (Video card overheating to the point that the fan melted to th chip.)

The server is currently running version 3.04, and has a 48 hour time delay before the first turn starts. I'm still looking for a good email notification program that will work with my setup.

Excellent! Thank you for fixing it up Graeme.

Only Niefelheim left to submit their turn, and then we will have a new turn.

Heh, I wish. This turn my main army took a serious beating from Helheim. At the end I was able to rout helheim hordes (who outnumbered me almost 2:1), but more than half of my army was destroyed. If only Helheim would commit their whole army which was sitting within the capital to the defense of their capital rather than committing part of it(and without giving them mage support), they would without a doubt destroy my army to the last man. Why they haven't done it is a bit of mystery. Perhaps they didn't think I would have balls to attack their capital this turn before waiting for reinforcements. And that's exactly why I have attacked.

Nevertheless, great battle Maltrease. I wish I would get that nasty prophet of yours - he was parading nice collection of items.

I assume you will be coming for the rematch next turn. I better prepare my armies for the 2nd round.
