Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.

Mictlan - we give notice that our NAP-3 will expire turn 48.
Vanheim is coming! May your jungle warriors die with honor.

Man, I'd hate to be those Mictlan. Fortunately, us Miclan have NAPs with all our neighbors. Except for those so called "giants" of Nieflheim.

Admiral, despite your lawyerly skill, you certainly don't want to have to listen to me sing my Led Zepplin "Vanheim" war anthem again.

Van cancels all NAPs with any nations whose names begin with the letters "Mi.."

The snake king of the swamp should focus more on chewing, and less on swallowing things which still claw. The declaration of victory was likely a bit....premature. Defeating a handful of unsupported province defense they wonder why the nation of Marverni strikes fear across the globe. Is this all there is to the boogie man? But wait, what is that gleaming from the trees. Are all those eyes?!?

My Witch Kings love chewing. And they prefer chew things that are still alive. And clawing adds just the right bit of "sharpness" to the food.

As for unsupported province defense - I would not call your Earth King who I have killed in one on one elemental royalty duel to be a cannon fodder.

Yes, I see the gleaming eyes in the forest. Does it mean that the second wave of teleportation attacks is coming? I surely hope so, for I am running out of things to kill. And I am one of the nations who have NAP agreement with Mictlan, who seems to separate me and your remote homeland.

Man, I have to say this is the most enjoyable game I've had in awhile. I'm (hopefully) not going anywhere for awhile, but just had to say GG guys!

Wow, one of my gem-carrying mages just ignored his script completely in order to burn 6 gems against an army that didn't stand a chance of causing even one casualty

First time I've ever seen anything quite so terrible done by the combat AI.

I agree, it is a very interesting game. Also it seems to be surprisingly well balanced - no clear leader but several strong nations, all in war with each other, each leading in some areas but being weaker than other nations in other areas. And the smaller nations are playing significant role as well, taking opportunity shots while big neighbors are distracted with each toher.

Also IMHO diplomacy/role-playing side of this game is very intriguing as well.
