Marmoset - MA game with mod nations - full

[Digress]

Squeak, squeak, squeak. (Skaven for we told you so ).

I hope all of you have your anti-Ulm arsenal in perfect working order - good luck in stopping the juggernaut. My fleabites have proved no more than an annoyance.

PS: Does anyone know how high unrest can go ? - despite my best efforts I can't get it over 500 (pillaging ones own provinces to pay the wages bill is not very effective)

I would now like the game to switch to a 48 hours schedule.

I'd like all allied nations to get in touch as soon as possible with me, just so we know what sort of strengths we all have. I don't think we stand much of a chance; I know I've never been a match for Ulm (they know that too), but I don't know about the rest of you.

On another note, I've pretty much *asked* Llamabeast to go all Evil Empire on us; he did not want to go for an allied victory, and I wasn't sold on the idea of gunning him down (more like scratching his back, but hey). Not that it'd have changed my strategy much... I've been upgraded from 'harmless' to 'mostly harmless', and I'm hoping to reach the rank of 'feeble' in the next few turns.

Skaven, rest assured you did help me tremendously by giving me all the sites I needed very, very badly. I'd love to get the textbook on how to use them to win a war now, though. Heck, scratch that: given the impressive fight you've put up, you should become our commander-in-chief or something.

Unrest only goes up to 500 *or* population X 10, whichever is lower, by the way.

Okay, turn timer set to 48 hours.

I declared war on turn 57, so I will give orders to attack Man and Bandar on turn 63, and T'ien Ch'i on turn 61. I will not be offended though if you give orders to attack me before then (in which case I will retaliate of course) - there's no point keeping NAPs when there is an Evil Empire about! Of course from Ulm's point of view, we are the one noble beacon of hope left in the world. Man, T'ien Ch'i and Bandar may all be human at least, but we have heard nasty stories of witches and state-sponsored mages. And the darkest rumours even speak that the Bandar may not be human after all...

I just want to say I am so glad you guys are enjoying my mod nations. I put quite a lot of work into them and I will continue to update them when needed - the payoff is basically when people play with them and enjoy them.

[llamabeast]

Yep, we certainly have been enjoying them Sombre. I really like having them in the game. Skaven have been great fun (largely due to Digress's refusal to die). I'll definitely start another mod nations game in the near future I think.

[Digress]

Playing the Skaven was a blast. I am just sad that I was unable to mass enough of their "toys" to turn back the hordes of Ulm. Ohhh but for more globadiers, more warpfire throwers and more warpfire throwers .... more provinces, gems and troops ... better scripting, better leadership ... then, oh yes then the skaven would still be in the game

[llamabeast]

I've postponed the hosting by 12 hours for myself. I've been/am in London, and won't get back till very late tonight.

I see from the LlamaServer that the Skaven and Abysia are out/AIed. I guess my Air Queen finally got your ragtag bunch of pests, Digress? What a relief!

[llamabeast]

I've given myself another 8 hours - I didn't really have time to take my turn before work.

Turns out I didn't have such a good time against the Skaven after all, I guess Digress just finally set himself to AI (many thanks by the way Digress for battling on so long). His ratlings fought off my invincible Air Queen (she lives, but 50 turns of killing skeletons made her run off), only to be finally destroyed by an army of penitents, with monstrous losses. But meanwhile a single death mage popped up elsewhere, and liberated another province from me. Cursed ratlings!
