A month that will live in infamy...
It turns out that my last post was only too accurate. Mictlan has broken a 40 turn NAP in order to launch a surprise attack against my peaceful empire. They were abetted by the cruel (but foolish!) C'tissians, who met my offers of a NAP with a wave of Imprint Souls, followed by a general advance along all fronts.
Fortunately, the forces of freedom fought back fiercely, and the invaders met with several marked defeats. The largest invading army, led by the C'tis prophet, was encircled and completely destroyed. In the end even his own troops turned against him as they realized he had led them to certain death. News of this disaster has sent enemy morale plummeting, so that desertion and back-talk is rampant in the lizard ranks. In one notable case, an army of over 100 C'tis soldiers fled from a single lesser horror. Even now the tide is turning against the lizard hordes. Midgaard has activated its second-strike capability, and is launching thugs from their protective domes deep into the enemy's agricultural and industrial centers.
As for the backward Mictlani, they are still fighting the last war, where massed jaguar charges were the order of the day. Next month our forces will head out to meet them, and demonstrate the latest in combined-magics battlefield theory.
