TURN 5

Turn Results
- Battle a complete success and we lose just one man.
- Unfortunately we're beginning to starve. That will teach them for not knowing I wanted them to attack properly the Last turn. I don't care if I didn't tell them.. I expect my people to KNOW what I want regardless!

Empire Status
- 3 provinces
- Income 215 (treasury 352)

Turn Orders
- The wastes have only 30 units. I tell Zanantes to go east of home to Valogda, a nice rich province.
- Selebir has an arena. Handy.
- Armies return to the home province. They can't move anywhere else.
- I recruit a high seraph and another mammoth.

Comments
Well at least my fighting went ok. I really did 'paint' myself into a corner though. Should have thought about that.

TURN 6

Turn Results
(no events)

Empire Status
- 3 provinces
- Income 214 (T 208)

Turn Orders
- Mammoth given to the Prophet and she's told to cast Fanatacism and then holy avenger. The 60 units to the east in Valogda won't know what hit 'em!
- Bujra the storm general tags along for the fun (And experience) of it. He's getting stronger and lets keep that going.
- Zanantes heads NE to Heaven's Hold.
- I order another high seraph.

Comments
Gold gold gold gold! I need more! So off I go to get it. I notice now I am connected to a nearby port to the south (because my home has a port icon and that's how the map is). That's a nice rich province and so I will have to consider it soon. Perhaps with Queeny.

TURN 7

Turn Results
"...Alteration 2"
- Well, it seems they DID know what was coming for it and prepared by wearing large scary masks, resulting in my Mammoths fleeing just after contact with the enemy. A few losses to my archers and that was it, the lot fled. My Prophet did none of my orders and I've no idea why just yet.

Empire Status
- 3 Provinces
- Income 214 (T 174)

Turn Orders
- Armies having retreated to home are told to go and head into Westwatch. They've got to be able to take 30 light infantry and assorted rubbish, right? Well. It's worth a shot. If they don't do their job I might have to reconsider the connection between certain prophet's heads and their shoulders!
- Zanantes heads NE once more.
- I order another mammoth and some archers. I need more power! She can'e take it cap'n!

Comments
Who would have thought I could fail so much? Well, ok, you lot I bet. But shussh! I don't want you to scare my prophet. I think she's a fragile type. Ahh, I read holy avenger properly. Silly me. She is set to the other lvl 4 priest spells.

TURN 8

Turn Results
"...A vengeful witch" - 3 units cursed in Starko. Hopefully not a mammoth.
- The battle.. is a terrible failure and all my flying monkeys die in a suicidal charge on heavy infantry. The local lads seem to have heard about the scary mask trick and so the mammoths again run for the hills!

Empire Status
- 3 provinces
- Income 212 (T 139)

Turn Orders
- Well my units end up all over the place and so I will have to spend this turn gathering the units back into one place at home. Grrr!
- Zanantes returns home
- I order another mammoth

Comments
Boy, so much for a fast start with a lot of research! My own fault in wasting those mercenaries so quickly.

ps. Yes, it was a cursed mammoth.

TURN 9

Turn Results
"...Research in alteration" - Lvl 3 at Last

Empire Status
- 3 provinces
- Income 215 (T 144)

Turn Orders
- I decide to be a bit more careful and so order yet another mammoth and a couple more archers to see what I can do to finish up some of these provinces. Taxes go back up and the armies patrol. I'm again broke as I have been at the end of every turn.
- Zanantes is told to head into that port I mentioned earlier, Armavir.
- Research is switched to Enchantment to get Breath of Winter which will be available next turn.

Comments
Grr! I will get them this time! Well, maybe Queeny will!

Turn Results
"...A proclomation from Ulm"
"...Research completed" - Enchantment 1
"...Patrols return order"

Empire Status
- 3 Provinces
- Income 258 (T 166)

Turn Orders
- Ok lads, back into Westthingy! I'm sure you can take it THIS time!
- Queeny, now you're all-spelled up head into the Sea of Saints. It's a nice rich province we need!
- Tax back down
- Zanantes - sit! Stay! Yes, 80 units there. Tough!
- Time for another Seraph. If we don't win that province Queeny will have to carry a few fights on her own.

Comments

TURN 11

Turn Results
- The battle goes well! We WON a FIGHT! We DID NOT run AWAY! I consider chopping off less of my generals than I had previously planned. I also notice west thingy has a library and sages are possible. Excellent!
- I forgot to MOVE Queeny and she is currently skulking around behind a lump of Coral. Woman, you have intense powers.. stop with the skulking and start with the head bashing! Ok, next turn.

Empire Status
- 4 provinces
- Income 221 (T 187)

Turn Orders
- I decide another mammoth and some archers are in order as a reward to my lovely generals.
- Research is set to Construction so I can get to 2 and make some nice clams.

Comments
Perhaps my luck is turning?!
