Thanks for playing arnob and nice job playing it through to the end.

Ragnars Wolves, also nice job continuing to fight. It appears things went downhill after your good start?

It seems to me this game is moving at a quick pace in the sense that early wars are being fought and nations eliminated. That certainly makes for an action-packed game.

Ragnar seemed to have a lot of Gladiators in his army so after a few fights he ran out of steam.

That isn't exactly true....

I got into a fight with one nation and 2 others broke naps and joined in on me. However, they BOTH waited the specified time and acted Honorably so I have no problem with either (good job, I should have seen it coming). But I realized I had NO chance so I decided to try a few things.

Gladiators...I didn't use them in my army excep as arrow catchers in front should i fight (since they would die anyway why not use cheap fodder).

I may be giving away a secret (or maybe it isn't a secret) but I was reading a post about Pangea and Maenads. It was describing how those little buggers inside a fort could repair the fort and make the siege last forever.

I decided to try that with Gladiators, as long as they are NOT set on patrol they will NOT join the fight for the castle until the walls are broken (that is my understanding). It seemed to work ok.

Has anyone heard from C'tis lately? They apparently staled last turn, and it's looking like there's a decent possibility that they'll stale again overnight. I'm not really sure what the standard policy is on this sort of thing. Should we delay hosting until we can find out what's happening?

I've been keeping an eye on the server, hoping C'tis' turn would arrive but no luck. I believe C'tis is at war so a stale would be unfortunate. Duncan_Frost hasn't responded to my message or logged in since the 6th so I'll postpone hosting by 24 hours and if I don't hear anything I'll look for a sub.

Vive la révolution! The most awesomest Pjoo drove away the spirit of the entity that was most definetly a spirit of an ancient Prince of Death that was banished into the Sphinx, and now Pjoo now inhabits the damn rock, pretending to be their pretender.

As C'tis, I have to say I do not have the damnest idea, but as the new ruler of C'tis I have to recheck the geopolitical situation.

Any clarification on the current situation would be welcome, along with the diplomatic proposals are welcome, and encouraged.
When it comes to trade, I would need bunch of stuff, especially gems of the earthen variety. As I don't have damnest idea about the current non-aggression pacts, they will be considered null on turn 34 unless renewed. This is just so I get to review who I have them with and actually verify I have them.
Any aggression or threats, trying to get concession out of C'tis due to recent disarray will be met with the full power of the C'tian arsenal of magic. Tremble mortals!

Still no word from C'tis so I've delayed hosting again and posted for a sub.

Everyone please welcome Pjoo to the game as the new ruler of C'tis! If you have diplomatic agreements with C'tis please PM him to let him know.
