From Tauren's latest e-mail I assume Zen has staled these last few turns. That would explain why the Ulmish attacks on Ermor's borders appear to have gone unchallenged. Zen, are you around? If we don't hear from him soon we should find a sub or go AI (the AI plays Ermor moderately decently).

Any readers/lurkers interested in subbing? Aegis?

Alneyan, you should try to stay in. I enjoy your yarns a lot and you might find that writing them leads to you doing better...

I hope we don't have to many players dropping out, it will probably be difficult to find subs who will write yarns too. Yes, it hypocritical of me to be demanding yarns, but in my defense I finally got the turn 6 one in.

Sedna: my comment about the game strength of Pangaea was more along the lines of "not a leading nation, so leaving it stale isn't so bad" and "the main interest of it is to write yarns"; regular Pangaea was more or less bound to be a weakling, after all, and it doesn't matter that much. I wouldn't expect any yarns anytime soon from me though.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

Even apart from the very popular white centaur earth/nature bless, base pan is a solid nation. Stealth troops that can be of use even late game, always rolling in nature gems, some very nice unique pretenders, and decent blood magic (with very good patrolers).

To return this thread to trash-talkin'... I saw this article on the wiki the other day and thought it should get cross-posted.

Imictan Asks: Where Is Pythium?


Imictan (ONN) They came from the hills, destroying homes and businesses, killing livestock and citizens. Months later, the people of Imictan have still not recovered from a devastating troglodyte attack. The reason? The troglodytes still roam the streets, unchallenged.

The people in this former colony of Pythium have nothing but scorn for their abandonment by their former masters. "They dropped their spears and ran," said one resident. "We thought they had gone for reinforcements, but where are they?", asked another. After five months, no reinforcements have arrived.

A sense of betrayal permeates Imictan society. Similar sentiments are echoed in every coffee house--but only during daylight hours, when the monsters are sleeping in their caves. At night, the streets are deserted, as residents huddle together behind makeshift wooden barricades, praying that this night, the troglodytes will attack elsewhere. The people have given up hope that Pythium will rescue them. Increasingly, the discussion is not about to whether to leave their homes and farms, but when.

Imictan's closest neighbor, Vanheim, expressed frustration with the situation. "Our deepest sympathies go out to the people of Imictan," said a spokesman for the Konella Koreia, Vanheim's ruling council. "They are innocent victims in Pythium's war of expansion. A nation that makes no pretense of protecting its citizens exhibits the lowest form of moral cowardice."

The people of Imictan appreciate the sympathy but would prefer armed assistance instead. "They're tough SOBs, but they ain't unkillable. Give us some armor and swords, and a couple dozen men, and we'll take 'em out," said a grizzled survivor. One can only hope the people of Imictan can maintain this spirit until somehow, from somewhere, help does arrive.

Marignon declares war on Pythium


To the false prophet: Cibragol,

The LORD alone may justly see the future of this broken world. Those who seek to read the stars and divine His holy plans are blasphemers with no faith in His grace. For this reason, the LORD's most worhty servant Aftial has commanded that we attack the empire of Pythium and smash the heathen oracle. Atone for you sins and prepare to meet the Almighty God!

His weapon on earth,
Father Muszinger
