IP may have changed. vfb is generally good at posting changes so I'd give him more time.

Server got restarted and I forgot to run the process. Sorry! It's up now.

Eriu is not having a very good year.

First we think our glamor units can sneak around undetected, and get totally busted, in blob formation, without even anyone to bless us.

Then we invade Machaka's capital with insufficient forces. And once again the cursed Machakan scales nail us, and our only avenue of retreat is cut off by a barbarian invasion. All retreating commanders were lost! Talk about poetic injustice.

Please do not take this as any sign that the new Eriu nation is weak. It is merely a problem that the Eriu Secretary of Defense has been found to be severely lacking in the strategic planning capability department.

That must have been a lot of patrollers to catch glamored troops. Though Machaka does have those priests with a patrol bonus (Eyes of the Lord?)


Jotunheim has also been having a very bad year. On the good front, R'lyeh was dealt a significant defeat or two and seems to have withdrawn from the battle, possibly due to a war with Ulm?

The forces used to hold off R'lyeh however, were not available to battle Pangaea. As a result of that, and a low investment in Jotunheim's pathetic PD, roughly half our provinces are in enemy hands. The white centaurs have destroyed most of my southern forces, including our lamented prophet, leaving only the veterans of the R'lyeh campaign and some new recruits.
Still some progress has been made, though attempts to force a major battle have failed.

Bandar Log has also entered the fray in the south and has brought a large army to siege our southern fortress. Due to the northern war efforts, he has been opposed only by local troops and a couple of brave Jarls waging a guerrilla campaign.

Attempts to use Jotun commanders as thugs have been mixed at best, partly due to lack of gems other than death and nature.


If this goes on, Jotunheim is likely not much longer for the world. Pangaea, particularly, will grow much stronger with our defeat. He was already as large as Jotunheim and will likely gain at least a dozen provinces. We know little of the rest of the world, but this threat is ignored at your peril.

I don't think there were any Eyes of the Lord in that province.

Eriu's bad news has gotten somewhat worse. Our Secretary of Defense was so concerned about his upcoming Incompetance Hearings that he neglected to inform the nation of Abysia that our Big Fat Momma would be engaging in a border readjustment operation with Machaka.

Her haunches have been roasted by Burning Ones and she has disappeared to the forest in the sky. We must now call her back.

[Thrawn]

Abysia PROFUSELY apologizes for the death of the large busomed one! We think possibly she confused our lava warriors with slow roasted lizards-on-a-stick.
