Geraldos Riveros reporting live from Arcos:
Caelum has joined the barbarian alliance. Tien Chin is offering Arcos territory to other nations that it has yet to even acquire. The gates of civilization shall fall soon to a sordid band of savage horseman and humanoid chickens!

On the northern front, the elephant breeding grounds have been restored and the elephants are back to their daily rituals with the statues of Amonozako. While the coffee shop Arcos hippies are happy about this, they don't seem to realize the heavy price paid for the elephant's future as Jomon fields a massive army to the west, ready to strike down with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy his brothers.

Beware the growing power of Tien Chin. We think their legions of ancestor vessels, spirit spamming mages, and heavy barbarian calvary will one day rule the world, even more so when they come to enjoy the rich troves of magical gems, forge bonus magic sites, and fabulous indie wizards we have discovered in Arcos!

Even though everyone forgotten, in the black forest, in the great keeps of stone, the proud people of Ulm still dwells. Sieged by various armies from various nations for countless days, the war never ends. Behind the city walls life still goes on with daily rations being delivered from sacks that never empties. Research is made in the deep dungeons by scholars like Boethius the great.
Will the Ulmish people ever be set free or will the barbarian league wipe them from the face of the known world? Some Ulmians hope that the enemy will some day tire of sieging and let them live in peace. Some still hope that the glorious 7th legion from ancient Arcoscephale will save them. Some that the scholars will invent a magic weapon to crush the enemy. Most, however, just drown their sorrows in beer.

Help us, before it is too late. Help us...

Dedas, good thing news of the 7th legions obliteration (they are now fertilizing Tien Chin's grasslands) has not reached the beer swilling Ulmites.

Arcos philosophers ponder the meaning of existence, its students praise the saving of a near extinct animal, and its soldiers fight meaningless wars in foreign lands - all oblivious to the fact the decline of their civilization is irreversible (hmm...wait that sounds like the country I live in).

[Dedas]

We are already through that over here.

Wait a minute...

Ulm has turned AI with no provinces left.
