The server will be going down for a few hours this weekend, while I repartition the windows drive and reinstall Win98. I'll also implement the turn emails at the same time, as they require a server shutdown to get the new --postexec commands to work. Expect a delay from a few hours to a day before the server comes back up.

I will also be starting another set of games next week. Look for the announcements coming soon.

Anything interesting going on?

The calm before the storm I think.

Not really calm. Ulm had his last hurrah... to limited effect. Now Caellum and Tien Chi are consuming my lands. Soon they will head eastward. So I suppose it is calm... if you are in those safe Eastern Lands looking at the lighting and dark clouds in the distance.

Yes, the Ulm is no more. They fought a good battle at the end, killing almost half of my army. Large portion of those who died were diseased (I've put them in front of my army and gave them kamikaze orders). But still casualties were heavier than I expected.

Tien Chi Empire will build a monument on the field of battle to honor the barbarian nation that lived and died on these lands.

By the way Maltrease, what happened to your army that was apparently scripted to retreat from the fort that was conquered by Caelum this turn? Did it survive? From your and mine duel last week it seems that the mechanics of retreat from the besieged castle may have changed in Dom3. IIRC in Dom2 any defenders that would retreat from the storm of the castle would perish. Is this indeed no longer the case, as we suspected?

Caelum is definately not consuming Ulmish lands. We took 1 province at the beginning of the war in an attempt to sneak attack Helhiem and then offered it back.
