That must have been a lot of patrollers to catch glamored troops. Though Machaka does have those priests with a patrol bonus (Eyes of the Lord?)


Jotunheim has also been having a very bad year. On the good front, R'lyeh was dealt a significant defeat or two and seems to have withdrawn from the battle, possibly due to a war with Ulm?

The forces used to hold off R'lyeh however, were not available to battle Pangaea. As a result of that, and a low investment in Jotunheim's pathetic PD, roughly half our provinces are in enemy hands. The white centaurs have destroyed most of my southern forces, including our lamented prophet, leaving only the veterans of the R'lyeh campaign and some new recruits.
Still some progress has been made, though attempts to force a major battle have failed.

Bandar Log has also entered the fray in the south and has brought a large army to siege our southern fortress. Due to the northern war efforts, he has been opposed only by local troops and a couple of brave Jarls waging a guerrilla campaign.

Attempts to use Jotun commanders as thugs have been mixed at best, partly due to lack of gems other than death and nature.


If this goes on, Jotunheim is likely not much longer for the world. Pangaea, particularly, will grow much stronger with our defeat. He was already as large as Jotunheim and will likely gain at least a dozen provinces. We know little of the rest of the world, but this threat is ignored at your peril.

I don't think there were any Eyes of the Lord in that province.

Eriu's bad news has gotten somewhat worse. Our Secretary of Defense was so concerned about his upcoming Incompetance Hearings that he neglected to inform the nation of Abysia that our Big Fat Momma would be engaging in a border readjustment operation with Machaka.

Her haunches have been roasted by Burning Ones and she has disappeared to the forest in the sky. We must now call her back.

Abysia PROFUSELY apologizes for the death of the large busomed one! We think possibly she confused our lava warriors with slow roasted lizards-on-a-stick.

It remember me a Wyrm named Rock in the Aran newb realm killed by mistake ! May be vfb will get used to it !

Happy to hear you had a lack of gems, because in the current state your thugs are pretty scary !!! I'm happy R'lyeh suggested an alliance against you even he's not participating anymore ! I really wonder of what you would be able to do if we let you alive ! (hope this sentence is understandable - my english skills reach their limits here !)

BTW our minister of information must dismiss some rumors about the so called "Pangaean threat" : for sure with the defeat of Jotunheim, Pangaea will grow in size. But Bandar Log is almost as big as Pangaea and will grow up too. We know all that Vanheim was early defeated giving Abysia and Ulm some lands to share too. And we know there is also a war between Eriu and Machaka.

Unless you give up, there still some time before your fall.
Really the jotuns giants are giving me a hard time... And I may regret later some choices I made.

Glad to hear the thugs are scary. Seems to me most of them die to your PD or the wolves. I had plenty of gems, but almost all death and nature. Limited my options and I wasted quite a few alchemizing.

If I'd had another 4-5 turns, I would have thugs ready when you first attacked and more importantly the blood economy started. I've also got 2 nice sites (Forges (20%Construction) and Cedar Pillars (30% Enchantment)) that I just didn't have the research to abuse properly.

Now though, it's pretty much over. You destroyed my main army with only a few losses. I've got a few things left to try, but they'll at best delay the inevitable. Bandar Log will take my southern castle in a few turns and get the Cedar Pillars. It'll take you a bit to actually take the castles, but I'd give it 5-6 turns, depending on when you start the siege in my capital.

Well fought. You hit me at the right time and broadly enough that I couldn't counter.

It's official, the Knights of Whyte have a vendetta going against Eriu. Someone please write them a letter and tell them, no, Eriu does not have your chalice.

[Eressil3]

Is there a timer ? If there is a 24h one, I would like to see it extended to 48h.

[vfb]

There is no timer.

[Eressil3]

We just got attacked by Ulm without warning. Ulm violated a NAP with three months warning before hostilies.

Jimkehn you're in my book !

[thejeff]

Jotunheim rejoices!

Our god is free at last. Already our capital has been freed from the half-animal hordes. Soon all our lands will follow!
