I thought you named your pretender like this because you were planning to end the game casting Burden of Time ^^

Actually, it was because he (it?) is a Monolith. Get it? Monny the Monolith.

That would be a neat trick, since the Kingmaker Mod will not permit Burden of Time to be successfully cast. Folks may want to find the original Kingmaker thread I started and read the 1st post to learn exactly what the Kingmaker mod does before casting any game ending globals.

?

[Xietor]

What is the question mark for?

Clearly states just where you linked, in relevant part:

Mods:.... The Kitchen Sink Mod prevents the casting of 4 globals, Arcane Nexus, Burden of Time, Astral Corruption, and Utterdark.....

Later in the thread LLamabeast decided to combine all of the mods in one mod, the Kingmaker Mod, so it would be easier to download and install for the players.

The giants of Niefelheim were victorious in their battle against Gath's advance force. The enormous physical fortitude provided by the E9/N9 blessing allowed the giants to stand up to quite some punishment, though it stands to be noted that fully half of the Gath army had contracted some sort of foul malady. Speculation is that frustrated soldiers had fornicated with the native citizens of the area, and were infected with some sort of virulent mildew. The author would prefer not to think about this however, being under the distinct impression that Agarthans are mono-gendered.

Regardless of these facts, two other things are well known about the conflict. The first, is that this battle took place with very little mage support on the Gath side - perhaps a cagey move intended to inflict maximal casualties on the giants, while retaining as much of Gath's real power as possible. The other fact, being that the battle was won in large part due to the large number of Niefel Giants who arrived to support their Jarls. It is well known that with the declining populations of full-blooded Niefel Giants, that very few will actually march to war anymore - and this seems to illustrate that their southern borders are relatively undefended, unless protected by their allies in MA Man.

MA Man is not in the game, and if they had been, they likely would be dead by now.

MA Man is a fictional nation, that owns no provinces, but needed by llamabeast to "somehow" collect gold and gems for distribution to winners of the arena matches.

So whoever your scouts see, it is NOT Ma Man, who has never been in the game.

Sorry, there was errata noted in that article.

Obviously the reporter meant to reference "LA Man", and this publication is embarrassed and humbled by this error. He has also been fired, and we're training a nice Markata gentleman to take over the story as it unfolds.

Basically what X is saying is that Man is actually Two-Eyes of Utgard, who has blown the wealth of an entire nation on a pimped out mansion, a posse of bikini clad sethkonas, and a diamond studded trident.

Wait for it...

Damn-staled by a minute. Should have made my coffee after the turn not before. Arghhh...

So long to all of you from LA Pythium. My epitaph is "He killed a few monkeys on his way out".
