It typically is the darkest just before the dawn.

EA Caelum needs a few constr 4 items requiring nature magic. we have gems to trade. We are not asking for aid, but
fair trade of gems for items. Contact EA Caelum if you do not want to see the proud Eagle Kings vanquished by the demonic forces of Abysia and their submariner ally.

Do you really want 8 fully equipped Kings of the Deep teleporting around your lands? Or hundreds of Abysians with blood and fire?

With aid, the Eagle Kings can keep the Atlanteans and Abysians occupied. It is much cheaper to aid the Eagle Kings then fight these races yourself.

If the noble Eagles fail to soar, who will be next to fall?

If any race is sitting atop mounds of gold, the Eagle Kings could desperately use gold. Any donation would be put to good use.

Free at last! Free at Last! Free at Last!

EA Caelum, while still in its death throes, has defeated the sieging army of Atlantis and ended the year long siege on its capital. Though still surrounded on all sides by Burning Ones and trolls, there are fewer Trolls and Troll Guards plaguing the world this day!

I recall a line from a Terry Pratchett novel - the great general, Tacticus (a joke on Tacitus, presumably), is asked what is the correct course of action if you are outnumbered 3:1 by an enemy with superior armaments and logistics.

His advice is: do not get in that situation in the first place

.

LA Mictlan is eating me alive with Imps and I'm not going to be in any position to stop him, so people should take as many of my provinces as they can. If I can win my main battles against him, maybe people can give them back, but that's unlikely

It is indeed unlikely. Really, the best course of action you can take right now is to go AI. Far better to leave your grand army while it is in its prime, before it is whittled down by the ravages of age, starvation, slingers, and Fires from Afar.

Also, my priests notify me that Ermor's western lands contain a magical site of great importance to them. The priests are not sure of the site's location, or what it looks like or what it does, but they are quite sure that the site is somewhere in Ermor's land. Unfortunately, massive jaguar armies will need to visit each of Ermor's current provinces in order to search for the site. I apologize in advance if some other nation happens to move an army into these provinces and then has that army destroyed. I also apologize if the jaguar warriors, who are always so highly strung, follow their few surviving opponents back to their homeland and then start laying waste to the place.

darn, it's not just the webpage that is down - i can't connect to the server to upload my turn... only an hour left

hopefully vel has some back-up plan in these cases

Has anyone heard from Velusion? Does anyone know if anything is being done to fix the game?

Fix the game? It's hosting in eight hours, I'd guess the server blackout just reseted the timer. Besides, only Man left and he's probably ripe for being AIed...

I hope that the eight hour timeline means something this time, but it doesn't seem likely that it will. The deadline came and then went into negative time. Now the game won't tick, despite the fact that no one is listed as "turn pending". Does "missed a turn" mean the same as "turn pending?" (serious question)

The update page is only "about". The exact info you can get by logging onto server via Dom (if you give a wrong password you get to see the server status without messing up with your turn). I saw that 8 hours from the server prompt. Especially the hosting schedule on the web page is famed for being wonky each time something unexpected (server crashes) happens.

And yea, if it says missed turn it means Man hasn't put in a new turn either.

the server is working fine. there was a power outage on saturday, and so in restarting it the hosting period was reset. Vel posted the info in his "velusion's server" thread.

Only Man is left to go, and he will likely stale again. Its the second stale in a row; really more like the third as this turn was double-long, and so he should be set to AI.
