It's not a matter of fine negotiations. I've signed a 5 turn non-agression pact with Ermor simply because this is my first game playing Atlantis, let alone CB. My research is horribly lacking, and while I might survive a war, I can't expect to gain anything with the tools currently available. I'd probably lose territory.

Ctis actually did take some territory from Ermor, though Ermor took it back.

Besides- why should I get involved in your war? Simply because you make an impassioned plea? I am the nation of ice and _bone_. Some of my sympathies lie towards ermor, though as I stated, I am willing to get involved LATER, I want to gather intel first and see how it does turn out. There's still about 400 undead to the north in one province- the fifty or so Ice Warriors I have stationed in a fort are hardly a match for that. On the plus side, I'm starting to produce mage-priests from places OTHER than my capital. They're not very powerful or versatile, but they can be used against undead or living foes. I might even summon some undead chaff myself- though my site scans are turning up rather sad results.

Not that it matters much but I don't remember you ever having province number 56, but I must admit I just might remember wrong, and judging from the layout of the provinces - I probably do remember wrong. So my apologies on the possible error on '2 or 3'.

And while offtopic, what comes to my spellcasters. The need to move them around has crippled my research quite majorly - so they're not too scary to be even mentioned

Apart from that I stand by my words when I said my borders now lie where I need them to be in order to feel the least bit secure. My border moves with steel, blood, and gems and currency - the pick is yours to make, Man.

Am I to understand that you are willing to sell the ONE province that I
care about? Since the second month of the war, and I did not even consider
it a war until then, this has been about province 67. I have NO interest
in the other provinces you took.

You could smash through my defenses... I lost most of my scouts, but I
believe that at this point, you have 80% of your troops at my borders.
For all I know the percentage of spellcasters may be higher.

It will cost you, but if you have rock solid peace agreements with
C'tis and Atlantis, you can afford it. There is nothing I can offer
you to stop you in that case. But if you do not particularly wish
to lose too many of your troops and would let #67 go for gems and gold
instead of steel and blood, we can talk.

C'tis has a great need for Earth Boots. Contact me with PM's if you're wlling to make one. I can pay with money. death gems or death items (I have con4).

Hullu · #75 July 13th, 2007, 09:14 PM

As stated before I said my borders move also with gems and currency - after reviewing the situation I have come to the conclusion that I can't afford to let them move. I doubt anyone has enough to pay to make them move, it just is not worth it for the nation of Ermor at the moment.

Sigh... I'm not going to miss any turns, but I would love to have someone take over Atlantis for me, permanently.

I'm not engaged in any wars, I have all the sea provinces, and a nice income. But this game is a bit much for me to handle, with the three other games I'm in right now, this one having the cb mod to keep track of.

There's nothing wrong with my situation, its just I'm having a bit of trouble finding enough time to strategize and come up with a plan. I'll be playing this game at less than full-steam. Then again, one of the games might be switching to 36 hours... but it's still a bit much on my plate, and I wouldn't mind having someone else take control. If someone's willing to take the position, I'll brief them on the situation- diplomacy and what not.

Oh, and is there a way to hand over control without giving up my password? It's no big deal if I have to, it just means I'm not extending the offer to members of Outrider... or I could just, you know, trust someone since it IS only a game. I think I'll go with the latter. But I'd rather not have the question of trust come up at all, thought its not a big deal to hand it out. I'm just tired and blathering away on my keyboard, wondering where im heading, tyhping aimlessly... I think I should go get myself some rest... How can I be so tired at eleven? It doesn't make any sense.

GAH! Rambling. Rerailing my train of thought.
#1 in provinces by a significant margin, with Pangaea pulling up in second, possibly to pass, unless I actually get involved in a war.
#1 in built forts, might help with catching up in research.
#1 in income, more or less tied with the nation of man.
Barely #1 in gem income, but its nothing special, considering the number of sites I've given level 9 scans to. I am opening up some other paths than water and death, though, so there is some hope, though nothing very promising.
Research is third from LAST. But ready to climb upward thanks to those forts I mentioned.
Dominion is middle of the road, with dominion walls at my land borders, but lots of hostile dominion in my seas.
And my army size is actually respectable if you take Ermor and Pangaea out of the equation.
Strategic vision is next to last, but I've been pretty good at avoiding stalls.

I don't want to make too much information public because it would handicap any replacement, but I'll share a bit to provide the flavor.
My scales are order 2, productivity 3, cold 2, magic 1. With temples, my dominion is 7 in my capital.

My current NAPs have varying terms, but they're more or less expiring right about now. My pretender is not a supercombatant, but is based around being a mobile spellcaster.

You should post in a separate thread. Few people read the threads for games
they do not play.

Lazy_Perfectionist · #78 July 14th, 2007, 11:33 AM

Good point. I'll do that tomorrow. I've got one PM already, but that person might not want to take over permanently.

Edit: Thanks, Ich, for making that post for me.

It seems C'tis launched a cowardly attack on my flank without advance warning, I guess this means war.

Well, my forces have been waiting for an opportunity to fight and die for a long while now, less than a year ago C'tis was repelled from Ermor territory, and very soon now it'll happen all over again.

Burnsaber · #80 July 15th, 2007, 12:45 PM

We had no NAP. What did you expect, a friendly warning? C'tis has no friends amongs the vile dead. Deceased are supposed to serve the living, not the other way around!

The sacred summer winds are blowing, blessing my kin with heat and reducing your kind to mere ashes. All hail Raiptur, the Purifier!

We would also like to announce that we have no more need for Earth Boots. However, we are very intrested in a 1 Water Bracelet and some Water gems. Air booster without gems would also be intresting deal. We can trade Nature/Death booster and gems in exchange. Contact with PM if intrested.

Eshum, Prophet of Raiptur
