Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[Sieger]

R'lyeh, the vile betrayer, must perish! After agreeing with me on a joint attack against Mictlan (but not to an NAP, I don't believe), he has stabbed me in the back, taking my only water province (held in reserve to cast underwater summons.)

Therefore, I extend the scaly hand of peace towards our mutual neighbors - Mictlan (jutetrea) and Atlantis (zoshan), may consider allying themselves with R'lyeh, but do you really wish such a poisonous snake at your side? The celestial empire promises true constancy.

Death to R'lyeh!

The good people of Mictlan are a bit bloodthirsty; but after careful consultations with our Starspawns it was decided to leave the friendly (albeit blood-hungry) people of Mictlan alone.

We would never wish conflict with our friendly (albeit desirous of conquest) neighbors T'ien C'hi! However, we looked upon your control of the water province in question and were puzzled. Would it not be better for the tritons to be ruled by benevolent Illithids, who, as fellow under water creatures better understand their needs?!

And, while we are a trusting and peaceful race, we are cautious and suspicious of outsiders. We were concerned that perhaps a less-noble race than T'ien C'hi could some day come to control said underwater province and use it as a base from which they could summon all manner of dreadful things to use against our peaceful nation. So it was decided, albeit with a heavy heart, that we had to wrest control of it from our dear friends, the nation of T'ien C'hi.

Mictlan's diplomacy efforts have been weak this game, real life has been busy. To save effort, we'll get everything out in the open initially.

Mictlan has finished expanding to neutral territories.

Unfortunately due to our scales we will need to continue expanding somewhere, our income is already dropping and with no blood economy forthcoming we would be in dire straights soon.

We currently have NAPs with all of our neighbors other than T'ien Chi. TC has recently withdrawn their offer of peace, yet has made no direct assault on our lands (minus some unfortunate accidental meetings with their large god) (large, intimidating god)(with fangs, biiig fangs).

TC has a large army, large income, high research, and the forementioned large god. We have a largish army, good income, poor research, no SC god - but an SC hero and a very good bless.

While a confrontation with TC would be reasonable, it is not a foregone conclusion. Even with the heavy rumors of TC attempting to gain allies to attack us. We are an early stage threat, losing relevence as time passes. TC can be a very good late game threat if left unchecked. If willing to work together...

Again, Mictlan needs to start expanding again. Which will mean war with someone, within the next 4 turns. We would like to consider offers from our various neighbors in terms of temporary alliances and common foes.

It sounds like war is on the horizon for some unsuspecting nation........

[jutetrea]

No, they'll be suspecting. I'll formally declare war before doing anything of course, its just that we'll need a direction to expand. At this point there are just no directions better than any other (except fighting Ry'leh.. I hate water battles).

I'm just hoping it stirs the pot a bit, maybe find an ally or two - or an enemy or 3. If nothing happens in the next turn or two I'll see who wants to join up and pick on a common target. Right now it seems everyone in my neck of the woods is relatively peaceful. Terrible scales make peace difficult

Can anyone tell me why when I open turn 21 I get the error message -

Nagot gick fel!
Myloadmalloc: can't open ./mods/.\ehspr\obsidianmedium.tga

[llamabeast]

I can guess. For the first time this turn, you've met Agartha's obsidian medium, and Dominions can't find the graphics for it.

Basically you just need to check the graphics files are in the right place. You should have a folder called 'ehspr' in your mods folder, and it should have a load of tga files in it. If you don't, extract the Epic Heroes zip file again, making sure everything ends up in the folders it's meant to.

Hope that helps.
