No. I assume you thought they could fly during a storm?

You where spot on with the early assault, you really SHOULD have won at least 1 of those 3 battles at my capital, very, very unlucky not too. If you had taken my capital, you would have won the war, no question of that.

I have sent you a truce offer, think it over. I am not suggesting you attack tir na nog (I don't think the vanir and tir are related btw in dominions mythology but I could be wrong) and certainly not our Ma Atlantian friends. Simply, sign a peace treaty and develop your nation peacefully and see what happens. You can blood hunt, forge earth stones and even strike any nation in the world if you think about it very carefully. Peace would be good for the Vanir and you might eventually get another chance at world dominion.

Well to be honest I can. A nation that can't defeat Machaka has problems. I wasn't kidding when I said Machaka was a very, very weak nation. The problem with Ma van is its units flatter to deceive, the skinshifters for example, great for expanding against indies but against a nation with a few levels of evocation magic? Essentally a waste of gold, just a few blockers in there way to hold them and fire clouds, bladewind and even magma bolts makes short work of them. There are loads of other evocations as well which will seriously spoil there day, they are really a 'poor mans' jaguar warrior but not sacred.

I'm very sorry to hear that tgbob Therefore I cordially invite you to bring your walking frame around to Ermor and join the huge 'Bang a Cripple' party that is currently taking place there

And at least that way you will be the only guest who does have an invite! Greetings Gath by the way. Hope you brought a bottle with you, and none of that cheap supermarket stuff

@ Jazeppi. I killed half my own mages during our showdown by forgetting to change their postitions.

[Calahan]

A load less sacred giants in the world is a good thing yes?

[Frozen Lama]

I am back, ready to lead Abysia to victory.... though at this point, it's going to be a research victory seeing as how i have no whimpy neigbors to beat up on...

@ All

Apologies everyone, but I am going to have to ask for a 24 hour delay of the current turn. Work just did the dirty on me by dumping a huge problem on my lap, so have no hope of getting home at any time resembling sense now. And trying to hold off three enemies means that a stale at this stage will be the equivalent of game over for Ermor.

Done.

I'm not at the game, but according to the llamaserver it looks like one of the two remaining Atlantis' went AI?

[tgbob]

Just a heads up, I'm going to Hong Kong on Sunday and flying back on Monday. I'll be taking my laptop so there shouldn't be a need for a delay. The flight itself is only 2-3 hours long too.

Congratulations to Meglobob's Machaka and his Crippled Warrior Champion, 'Abuu'.
Never before has this land witnessed such awesome raising of the skeletons.
