On the diplomatic front:

As Ctis, the lack of scouts have dramatically limited my ability for diplomatic manuevering. I've only met 3 nations, two of which are conquering me. And I hear Agartha is quite busy right now. I'm not adverse to bribing someone to ally and take on either Abysia or Arcosephale. Despite the territorial encroachment, I still have a bit to offer- most of my casualties fall under the category of gold.

I've been avoiding engagement successfully for quite a while now while spamming leprosy with eyes of the void and spell foci penetration items- I think I took out about 1/3 of Arco's besieging forces. As an aside, did you know that Leprosy doesn't affect friendly forces- at least besieged ones.

I've pretty much brought Abysia's advance to a halt by virtue of fortress and city guards, but I can't keep that up for much longer, especially with a two front war. My gold income has just about dried up. However, since Leprosy had its chance to work and my research is nearing completion, I'm no longer content to sit back.

Caelum's eagle kings soar free once again. We are surounded by a raging war between two great powers , both of which tried to destroy us. We gain great satisfaction in knowing it was us who sparked the war between them.

However we must choose sides if we wish to rise to glory.

atlantis, shackled by NAPs, is unable to do anything but hoard gems, research, and forge items. We prophecy our own demise.

[Cor2]

the tears of the Caeleian people will over flow the sea allowing atlantis to conqure us all.

That is my current plan.

Is there no-one I can buy off or bribe for help with six Clams of Pearls?

If I can't pay for interference or one side backing off, there's little I can do but be a pain in the *** to finally kill.

[Cor2]

I would help for that, Unfortunatly it would just be sending hurricanes.

[Valandil]

Hmm... Thanks for the swords!

I'm sorry, I have to retire. Work is a horrible pain in the *** right now- coming in early 3 days now. Diplomatic energy, will to survive drained. Time isn't the issue... energy is. I had planned to fight this to the bitter end, but I've got to conserve my last scraps of 'give a damn' to keep myself going to work and to keep myself from telling my coworkers to go [censored] off when they repeatedly pester me to do something about ... ... something I've repeatedly said I can do nothing about. If not speaking Spanish is causing problems, then take some lessons- don't bug my *** to ***** about it for the fiftieth time.

Normally, I would let a single stall occur, or ask for an extension. But since I'm in the middle of intense negotiations, that just would not be fair to any of the parties involved.

My Play by play for this game isn't complete, but when the game finishes for everyone, I'll upload my text file along with all my saved games, to allow other players to draw their own conclusions and possibly learn from my mistakes.

Work sucks, no one should have to work.
