Ascendant - Game On!

[Renojustin]

Oh Celes, you poor fool. Do you think your little army can harm Sauromatia?

It's unfortunate and remarkable that you have chosen this course after we have shown so clearly and conclusively that those who turn their hands against us are destroyed.

Faced with the eternity of immortality, I can see the need for a thrill, but this is going to reduce your lifespan considerably. But thank you for adding to our sense of self-satisfaction and achievement.

So continues the greatest legend in the history of Dominions, when one stood against many... and conquered them!

[kasnavada]

Woah...

I'm lacking about 1000 points of research to mount an effective counter attack. I don't really think I can handle 300+ troops with mine...

Except, of course, the Aboleths. Sauromatia has yet to face any Aboleths other than the older, uncommon ones. Not to mention the problem of Sauromatia's "sacred" lake being taken by one Aboleth. Not a single defender? Tsk, tsk.

Edited because I'm a sucker for roleplaying.

We of Lanka are not afraid of Sauromatia's banter. We wonder if Sauromatia realizes that we have forces nearly equal to theirs in numbers, not to mention if things proceed as our last battle things will not go well on the battlefield for them.

[Renojustin]

If things proceed as our last battle, I would be very pleased indeed.

On that note, enjoy the disease-infested stinkpile you have taken as it destroys 10% of your troops every turn.

[Zenzei]

The nation of Caelum celebrates as their champion has rapidly risen to the envied top spot of the Hall of Fame.

Voice of the South Wind has been awarded with the most-badass-killer-of-things medal and has received blessings
from the prophet of Caelum.

[Renojustin]

Bloody, shrunken demons hissed at each other and licked at their wounds. The Lankan army, or what was left of it, crawled, limped, and dragged itself back to its own lands.

The Sauromatian ambush had crippled their forces, destroyed their military, crushed their spirits. The vampire queen Celes, mostly oblivious to her mortal followers, had blundered about the westlands with their forces, playing at being a military leader, and fumbled right into the worst situation imaginable.

Now she rode ahead of the broken column, silent, a cold glare her only communication with the shattered remnants of her people.

[Shigure]

There was a battle in Nardago.

Our forces defeated the attacking force from T'ien Ch'i.

Friendly Combatants
commanders 12, killed 3.
regular units 13, killed 2
magic units 8, killed 2

Enemy Combatants
commanders 8, killed 2
regular units 113, killed 77

Oh, T'ien Ch'i, T'ien Ch'i. I understand now why you are so reluctant to give Sauromatia the stab in the side they so rightly deserve. That is the third T'ien Ch'inese army the people of Kailasa have faced -- this time you sent celestial masters! -- with similar casualty rates every time. You should surrender to Sauromatia now, if you haven't already; your army obviously does not stand a chance.
