Do you think that we would have picked today to start a war with an enemy that our
forces cannot really reach, and especially at a time when we are already engaged
on two separate fronts?

By the time I'd read that declaration (oh so unexpected as it was, hah) you'd already attacked me and taken a province. You will continue to do so every turn, so I have no idea where you're getting 'cannot really reach'.

Sure we're using blood magic. And because you've declared war and been directly involved in the destruction of 3 civilisations we're going to be flaying and butchering a whole lot more innocent girls just getting the firepower to defend ourselves. So congratulations on that score ;]

But honestly the vaetti girls come willingly. Our mages need to spend time finding the maidens with the right kind of blood, it's true, but this is more like a talent contest. They volunteer. The unrest is merely a result of jealous families wreaking havoc when their 'little angel' isn't picked for the national honour of giving her life to defend our culture against tyrants like you.

The facts speak for themselves. We have initiated no wars and at all times merely defended ourselves. You have started 4 wars and invaded 4 other nations - usually those vastly weaker than yourselves. In the divine history of the multiverse, your Elena will be remembered as nothing more than a schoolyard bully. Provided you Ulmish even know how to write.

Actually, Jomon started the war with Vaettiheim and Sylvania was there to "defend the forestdwellers". With no help from the goblins, we were forced to recruit help from the Lady Elena.

The Dwarves were unfortunately subsumed under Ulmish rule due to their drunken incompetent leadership and a "goddess" who cared more about "paths" than a proper resource infrastructure.

We cannot comment on the war with the vampires and the Ulmish beef with Sylvania's magic, since Sylvania has has strict "Don't ask, don't tell" policy with blood magic.

To be fair, I picked the Goddess's paths.

Although I was going for a pure, chaste bringer of peace and wisdom, who would use her paths wisely, to benefit all dwarfkind with new sources of gems, so that we could feed the hungry, starving children of all nations, equally

...ok, yes, we were planning to feed the hungry, starving children to demons in return for an unbeatable war-machine, but let me ask you this, would they have gone hungry in the belly of an imp?

Is that not shelter, is that not warmth? is that not-dare I say it-love? A love the likes of which you shall never understand? Can your logic explain that away? Where's your intolerant society now? Where are all your dollars when
all you really need is a hug?

Explain that one, Santa! Explain that to your little elves and magic reindeer! In hell! that's where!

Honeybadger: You were apparently also going for a turtling strat, what with the both of the two provinces you had stuffed full of PD. You're partly responsible for New Ulm running off with the game because you made such a godawful start with Kharam Dzu. I heard about it from Morky and lch. Not to worry though, in the second mod game, Mods Over Europe, I've avenged Kharam Dzu's humiliating loss by stomping New Ulm into fine paste and selling it to the vampires as skincare.

Morkilus: If you're just roleplaying, no problem. If you're seriously questioning why you got no help from me against Jomon, I don't know what planet you're on. I destroyed 3 or 4 large raiding parties that came near me - other than that I had no border with them because your invasion worked so well. Last time you complained about getting no help I asked you to confirm if you wanted me to move through your provinces in order to attack them and got no response. If you've buddied up with New Ulm then I guess you can take second or third place or something when he's declared the winner. Congratulations. I intend to give him a fight because it's more fun at this point than just giving up :]

Hey Tuidjy, just wanted to say I appreciate your RP posts - I've been really enjoying following this game via the thread.

[Morkilus]

Anytime I post about stuff going on in a game, it's roleplaying to me unless I'm talking about a bug, hosting, or issues with getting me turn in. With this in mind:

Sylvania was the smallest and weakest power since the unfortunate dwarves when it was brought under the current leadership. When we saw the attack on Vaettiheim, we could have easily waited for both nations to feel the burden of war before attacking one of them. Instead, we decided to fight one of the largest powers at that time in a total war. We have had the demons at our gates twice. We have lost all territories around our capitol several times. Our God has fallen. But we persevere through the might of our Phoenix Guard and Ulm's sieging force that shut down Jomon's recruitment in the North. Has Ulm benefited from such an alliance? Of course. Ulm has helped in the raiding of Italy, but once Jomon has been stomped completely, we shall retake all of their lands except for the several offered to Ulm in the North. Be assured Sylvania does not "give up" in its endeavors, and its God shall be righteously angry when he is called back from the Void. But first, Jomon must be stomped completely.

I could not connect either. Is it up now?
