Marmoset - MA game with mod nations - full

[Digress]

The forces of Man again show their complete lack of ambition or vision. Now would be the time to make at least one attempt for victory and make an almighty strike at Ulm, but instead we see their true nature.

SHEEP. Old tired sheep not waiting to be shorn but to be slaughtered. The Crones of Avalon are like so many old bleating ewes wobbling around crying "oh the wolves of Ulm are our flocks saviour".

The seers see but one future for the forest of Avalon. A future ensured by Man's current course. The ancient trees will be adorned with the broken bodies of the Crones and Daughters of Avalon, strung up by the priests of Ulm as the witches they are.

And on the subject of Ulm - will your armies please stop running away. Even weighed down with all that armour our fleetest footed rats cannot run your troops down.

The Skaven are having some success killing off Ulm's mightiest mages however we are having no luck in bringing down their troops.

[Digress]

It is well and truly curtains for the Skaven I fear. Early gambles didn't pay off and we are now completely out of cards. We send our heartfelt thanks to all those who aided us but maintain aid could have been better in the form of, you know, attacks on Ulm. Are we bitter ... no, apparently rat meat is suprisingly sweet (if a bit gamey).

Again Ulm's troops ran - but this time we started running first (you know after they had killed everybody) ... double bah.

My troops didn't run! Or at least I think not - I think they were just chasing some zombie behind them. I may have seen it wrongly though.

Man, that was a hard battle to watch - I am on my parents' computer, and it is _so_ slow. Was quite an epic battle though. I am very proud of my knights, hanging in there for so long, gradually dying of poison, afflictions everywhere (my entire army seems like a mass of afflictions, not entirely sure why), but keeping all your sacreds at bay for all that time until my main army could reach them and mow them down.

Your Shadow Blast was scary. After the first barrage I got really lucky with you missing most of my troops.

Good battle, anyway.

Bandar Log seems to have achieved a specatcular recovery. Only two months or so ago they were reduced to two provinces, with a vast Argan army on their doorstep. Now they seem to have reclaimed all of their old territory! Astonishing. Seems the Argans are in trouble.

I wonder what is going on in T'ien Ch'i. I haven't seen any sign of them for the entire game, until just now when a remote scout gave me my first sighting of one of their banners. From the location I guess they must probably be quite large though. Well, I guess the Orient is meant to be mysterious.

Thats been the entire war, actually- each of us finds a new strategy/spell and devastates the entire enemy army. Unfortuantely, Arga Dis isn't a brilliant nation in terms of magical diversity.

We Skaven know what running looks like. We choose to believe your troops were running like the terrified manwhelps they are

I think my bless on the censer bearers, council guards and mages has yielded a rich crop of afflictions amongst your armies but has yielded a particularly poor crop of Ulmish corpses. Sure Ulmish troops will continue to drop dead in the months to come but that ain't going to provide much satisfaction.

And the Shadow Blasts - I know Skaven may not have great precision but it got a little ridiculous watching all that death inflicting badness go flying over the serried ranks of your army .... leaving nothing but vast swathes of dead grass and shrubbery as a mark that the Skaven were actually employing battle magicks.

If only my gem income wasn't so dire - it would have been nice to be able to fire a few more off. I mean they had to start hitting something sooner or later ... surely .

Triple bah.

Edited to add triple bah.

After much pondering and wondering, Man has decided to send the following answer to Skaven: 'We hate your guts'. Do I look like a dastard bastard of the 'dagger in your back' traitor type? (That, and I've taken heavy losses without actually fighting anybody. I shudder to think what would happen if I met a real army.)

[Digress]

We Skaven find ourselves wrestling with alien concepts such as "pity" and "shame" when we look to our eastern neighbour.

We Skaven didn't think, for a moment, Man had the courage to fight its never ending slide into complete and utter irrelevance. For that is the fate of Man.

For now Man remains a vassal/slave of Ulm. The seers predict after the fall of Skavenblight you will cease to have any utility at all to your Ulmish masters except as possessing a couple of magic sites that Ulm covets and will look to make its own.

Erk, plaguerats. They are seriously nasty. I was really really lucky I only had PD there when you attacked with them.
