Very interesting turn on many fronts.

I asked to keep my capital. As my upkeep is currently much more than my gold income (sadly), I also need my capital. I'd like to think Helheim is in for quite the fight, even against my meager troops.

[Foodstamp]

We would have respected that request had we any diplomatic relations with you. I look forward to the fun that is sure to follow .

[Xietor]

Ulm's troops are like leaves on a tree when summer turns to fall, and then to winter.

You just saved me the trouble of reducing that Rock those idiots worship to gravel. Good luck.

I think the entire World is always glad to see one less Monolith on the Earth.

[Darkwind]

Here's a hint for those of you somewhat overconfident in Helheim's abilities:

EA Helheim uses sacred troops. Iron Darts and Guardians. Even if Helheim wins, it will be a hard-fought victory. Very hard-fought, considering they'll be walking through large amounts of fiery (and non-fiery) death.

Or so I'd like to think.

So, three Niefel Jarls sent to their deaths again. We can do this all day long, with this pace it's only on turn 80 when that guy stops having those uglies. Basically most of the eastern continent is allied with Niefelheim, and what do the powers in west do? Harass MA Ulm? C'moon, pick on someone larger than you, size 1 markatas demand it!

In other news, second-hand items for sale! Flesh Eaters! Skullfaces! Fire Plates! Just swipe off the giant blood and they're good as new! Bargain prices! Ask and you shall be delivered!

Monkeys are basically are fighting the giants 1 on 1 now to my knowledge. Much easier fight then what i had. Though we are technically still at war, your ally is storming our southern forts and has our full attention.

Though Ruin again made a personal appearance and personally defeated a grand host of LA marignon. The slaughter stopped only when the time limit ran out(: But before it did hundreds of dead Marignon troops, devils and various demons lay dead on the field of battle.

Fortunately Ruin is only one province away and can mop up the rest of Marignon's army next turn! Of course, maybe marignon wants to fly some angels in and let them try their hand at fighting Ruin Muhahahhahahahah.

As an aside, LA Arcos. would like to thank the many nations who have contributed unselfishly to increase our pool of thugs by sending their thugs blindly into our enslave mind traps.

We wait with baited breath to enslave an entire army. However, we made the decision to kill rather than enslave the pitiful army of LA Marignon, though we do intend to have a few of those angels before it is all said and done!

[Bananadine]

Hey people, temporary LA Marignon here. As you can see things are becoming rather interesting for my temporary nation, but sadly I only signed up for a turn or two--I really don't have time to deal with this old mister Ruin (as much as I would like to destroy him for good)! So I think I won't take another turn in this game, and I hope y'all can find a new substitute or SOMETHING because it's a fine nation in many regards and it should have the chance to live again.

[Xietor]

Thank you for subbing the 2 turns that you did Banandine. Admiralzhao fared no better with Ruin. And he should be back since his week has passed. And if nothing else you got his blood slave situation sorted out.

Blood economies require micromanagement to some degree and had you not done 2 turns for him, that empire would have had a lot of waste.

I will pm Admiralzhao about retaking control of his empire. Revenge is not nearly as sweet on a temp sub as the original invader.

Come out come out wherever you are Admiralzhao!

BTW I have to give credit where credit is due, Darkwind had a great victory over Helheim. Though he is not long for the world, at least he got to enjoy one last victorious battle.

[Darkwind]

I shouldn't be doing this but I'm obsessive-compulsive about AARs and this, if anything MA Ulm has ever done, deserves an AAR.

Helheim scouts that night noted that the usually-cowering peasants were nowhere to be found. They simply assumed that the Ulmish peasants had finally died of overheating in their bulky and almost useless armor. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be so. Monny's entire force--minus the immovable statue itself--met them on the field of battle early that morning, in the cold weather of wintertime Ulm. The flying Valkyriesrecieved the customary blessings hurriedly before battle, as the Ulmish prepared to give Helheim the fight of its life, still carrying usually fortress-only items such as the skulls of dead magi sold to them by EA C'tis. The Ulmish magi were unfortunately not close enough to begin their barrage immediately, and spent some time Invulnerable-ising themselves.

Ulmish Sappers fired round after round into Helheim's midst, achieving very little. The Ulmish Pikemen were ambushed by the fast-flying Valkyries and nearly destroyed--but this led them too close to Ulm. The Ulmish cast great spells to make the earth envelope the Valkyries' feet and strand them defenseless on the ground and then incited the very land into a rage against Helheim, nearly destroying the 100+ group (and Ulm's surviving soldiers) in a massive volcanic blast that lasted near thirty minutes and would darken the skies around Ulm for weeks to come. The surviving valkyries put up a feeble attempt on the lives of the sappers before fleeing in fear. Their masters followed shortly after.

A heroes' cremation was arranged for those seemingly so few, but for Ulms' army so many, who died in defense of Ulm. The few reasonably intact bodies that survived the Ulmish fury unleashed that day currently adorn the front of Monny's citadel, as a warning to all those who would try to take Ulm from its resident god.

I told you it was a bad idea to attack my capital. But you didn't listen, did you? Now no one wins.

[Tichy]

That sure was a lot of magma.
