A Tale of Fire and Blood

[Bossemanden]

Apparently, the fact that this was a particularly bad time to bring bad news to the God quickly circulated in all the empire.

An unrelated piece of gossip : His Holiness the personal majordomo of the Magnificent God, was seen at the slave markets at about that time, buying an great number of unskilled slaves, soon after these news reached Teotihuacan.
[/QB]

That majordomo really looks out for his gods needs doesnt he?
I mean if he tried any harder at avoiding loosing his heart, he´d be noticed and loosing it anyway. A fine line to walk on. Currently he´s my favourite character in the story.
BTW Any more chapters forthcomming?

Even the God likes him. And is quite aware that finding a suitable replacement would be very difficult. After all, he is very competent, he knows his place, and without him what little order is left in the palace would dissolve. Still, protocol is protocol, and rules are rules, and they can't be ignored. Besides, if he can't manage to keep his heart, then he's not as good as the God hoped, and doesn't deserve to keep his place. Or his heart.

Well, my AAR as managed to catch up with the action, so I have to play first (and by now hosting takes quite a bit of time), then write... There will be more chapters, but in a few days.

General Tacticus/Tacitus,

I am really enjoying your tale of Mictlan. Thank you for sharing this with the community.

[SurvivalistMerc]

General Tacticus,

Can you give us an update on Mictlan's situation? How fares the majordomo?

[Cthulu13]

Awesome report, do you take requests? Could you do R'lyeh next?

Anyway, very intresting reports.

[General Tacticus]

Sorry, I got a little sidetracked. I promise, I'll update this week-end !

I might take requests when I finish this AAR, but that may be in some time yet. Or perhaps not... I am at a crucial point where I'll convert most of my economy to blood and summons, and depending how well that goes, the time needed to finish the game may be surprisingly short.
Just a teaser : I've got Forge of the Ancients going, and the Hammer of the Forge Lord. That should allow me to make 1 soul contrat a turn, each one bringing 1 devil a turn... I have also found a site with a 40% reduction on Blood spells. And I have Blood 9 researched.
Oh, and my pretender now has 4 in each and every magic path (except holy and unholy of course)
So If I can work in peace for 20 years, I'll have an economy where gold income is irrelevant (I can alchemize gems with my indy alchemist + Alchemist's stone), I'll have a major source of decent, flying, very mobile armies (the devils) led by whatever strike my fancy (arch-devils, ice devils, succubus...). On the other hand, with some heavy handed blood hunt, I'll probably need to expand to maintain my supply of blood slaves

I am glad this strat works only in SP [because in MP, others wouldn´t let you alone presumably], or the game would be in need of a patch!

Great AAR!
