Mmm ... the Abysyans generals could start thinking to plan the manchurian empire invasion to put those gems into their bags. Even because those manchurian are closing my expansion way on 2 sides.

Lies!!! This is outrageous propaganda of the first rank - do not be swayed the bile that spews from the mouths of the Abysian PR Minister!

Instead, we suggest that everyone put their cards on the table, and you the nations of Faerun can judge for yourself who is blocking who, and who you should feel threatened by.

As all know, Abysia, T'ien Ch'i and the C'tis are all located near each other in the northeast corner of Faerun. To be specific, our capitals are at:

Abysia - 217
C'tis - 125
T'ien Ch'i - 272

Know that on turn 7, the Abysians took 302, capping any possible expansion we might have had to the northwest, and coming very close to our capital in the bargain. We then demanded that the Abysians stop their advance at that point, and they complied (but not without bellicose, but vague threats of a later invasion).

So, I guess the Abysian Minister of Dis-Information (maybe we shall call him Kim Jong-Il, or Baghdad Bob, henceforth), calls this "closing his expansion" well then I guess they mean that their intended expansion into our capital was closed.

Now, the second direction of closure to which Abysia no doubt refers is my recent move into 178 and 155. Well this does in fact block Abysia's expansion to the southeast - while opening my only hope of having any expansion after Abysia's rapid move towards my capital, and blocking my access to the northwest.

Any who have the resources to send scouts or to scry can check the truth of my words, and I encourage all to do so. The situation is currently that Abysia and T'ien Ch'i each block each other's advance in one direction. We regard this as an acceptable status quo, but we fear that the rapaciousness and greed of the Abysians make this situation unstable.

Emperor of the Mists
Lord of T'ien Ch'i

Lies! All lies! Poor sad Pythium always the Last nation to expand, always the 1st nation to die ... woe is me!

Actually I have to say that I have planned just far to much to be sane in this game. Actually this turn was the 1st turn I have taken a risk. I hope it works out.

The Abysyan generals blame themselves because they didn't exploited the month that the manchurian burocracy wasted before arming up some militia in every province, providing an officer to lead them.

One of our agents have been ordered to follow the manchurian shugenja that is inspecting the provinces to see what he find of interesting, meanwhile the map is studied ... to unleash the Abysyan army against the Manchurian and secure that border, or to conquer the poor defended counties and baronies still unclaimed by any major power, even if this sooner or later will bring our Nation among more enemies meanwhile the nobles ruling the provinces won't dare to challenge one big power.

Since we are still in the early stages I would like to request a restart so that we can get this game onto latest greatest 2.14 What do you think?

[Cohen]

For what I know we don't need to restart to swith to 2.14.

[Soapyfrog]

Esben says the game needs to be restarted, or it will continue to run under the Version it was Last started under (i.e. 2.12).

Yes, that's correct - it does need to be restarted.

I would suggest restarting right after this upcoming turn hosts, but if everyone wants to do it immediately, I'm OK with that too.

[Boron]

Ok i just did my turn . 2 more ppl to go i will check every now and then for the next hours and restart when the new turn occurs then .

Didn't know that you have to restart
