Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

[sansanjuan]

Caelum's AAR is... "AAAAARRRR!"

The combined might of R'yleh and Vanheim have scattered my elephant horde and smashed my winged army. I must admit I was taken completely off guard by the skinshifter rush. I was quite certain all us wee folk would gang up on neighborhood Overlords first... Anyway, Good luck to all in this game.

Sorry to see you go, San. Good game.

And, I would once again caution anyone about going into Ashdod lands, or into Ashdod dominion.

There seems to be some normal nations that feel war with TC is a winnable proposition. Its not. In addition to our own vast armies, we have certain allies who are not to be scoffed at.

On the other hand, I am leading the research race, and no small fraction of that is construction. I have quite a diversity of magical paths. Trading with me could be of great benefit to any nation.

TC is willing to live in peace with its neighbors if they will live in peace with us (at least most of them... a certain nation has earned our ire and will not be spared). The emperor gives those nations this chance to forsake this foolishness and ally themselves with us.

It was fun, Sansanjuan, you put up a good resistance all things considered. And I'm sorry about the rush.

Uhhh... Concentrating on Construction on a nation without recruitable thug commanders means just banking on the future and relying on momentary peace.

In other words you've just admitted that if anyone is going to find you a paper tiger at any moment, that moment is the current one. :-P

Just saying.

Good thing we Marignonians are both peaceful and walking around with a big stick, right?

I said i had a decent amount, not that I had concentrated on it. I think you'd find my research is quite diverse.

Crazy Jadros says "bring it" chubby!

Alas, I shall be out of the state Friday-Sunday, and most probably will require an extension for next turn.

[rdonj]

I'm really only supposed to give you guys 4 hour extensions for this game. I made an exception for Lingchih because he was going to a funeral and all that craziness with the llamaserver was going on. So I would suggest looking for someone to play one turn for you, if possible. But if there isn't any objection to it I guess I could grant you a longer extension. That rule is sort of a holdback from when I was considering trying to make this into a mega game.

[kianduatha]

Given how people have been slow on inputting turns, I'm not terribly worried. There'll probably be a turn Saturday, and I can make the 48 hour clock on that one. Yeah, don't even worry about it on second thought. It would just give another excuse for people to delay.
