Even assuming that I could have beat back your forces, such an action would have got T'ien Ch'i knocking at my backdoor. You may not have known, but when we were having our fight over the Kailasan capital, T'ien Ch'i sent me a death threat. There was and is no possible way for me to take on two powerful nations. Secondly, I did not know that was your last army in the area. For all I knew, your troops would just keep pouring in. So further aggression would have gotten me one thing: destruction.

I told you it would work.

My God, Shadow blast sure is a nasty spell.

Yea, especially when cast by a D10 PoD

I was at the receiving end of more than a bit of the shadowblast action. It killed a lot of guys, but the loss of 21 leaders probably hurt Sauromatia a bit more.

Shadowblast requires gems. If they don't have access to laboratories, they won't have the capability to throw in more shadowblasting in subsequent battles.

Greetings,
Despite the uneven odds, and the swarm of blessed vanheres the Sons of Winter took over a Vanheimian fort. This act of heroism will weaken our foes, and may be a light to any nation, showing that victory is allways possible. I send a bloody sword to every nation in the world with the wish that they will join the war against Vanheim. Even a fool would understand that if Vanheim will prosper and will take my provinces he will ascend to the role of pantokrator within a few years... And that will mean your sloughter! So the coice is fight now, or fall later. "This is as good a place to take your first step to heaven as any. It's ours. It ain't much, but it's our. Only question is how you check out. Now, you want it on your feet, or on your knees beggin'?"

Arco has staled three turns in a row. Caelum has staled three of the last five and two of the last three. I will set Arco to AI control the next time they are last one out. Caelum is still playing often enough to keep me from switching them off, but I question how much longer either nation will survive.

To all, if you are effectively dead and no longer wish to continue playing, it is OK to set yourself to AI control... of course you are not required to do so if you relish the role of spoiler or just want to see how long you can hold out.

Twice before, the armies of Sauromatia have thrown themselves against the defenses of T'ien Ch'i, and twice they have been slaughtered.

Both times, the Sauromatian army was proud and strong, but consisted only of mundane troops and was torn apart by the masses of T'ien Ch'i mages. But this third time, victory seemed assured... around twenty spellcasters, most able to cast Shadow Blast, and equipped with plenty of gems - surely the Sauromatians would have better magic this time.

Well, they did. But this time they forgot to bring a proper army. So, while raining down death on the replaceable PD of T'ien Ch'i, the Sauromatian mages stood still while the common soldiers of T'ien Ch'i walked forward and cut them down. A tragic day.

Next time...
