Did you get an answer or only dead silence?

Did the frost giants come upon this world??

All right. I'll be the new Ulm player. It looks to be a bit of a disaster (among other things, the pretender appears to be dead - wonder if that had anything to do with the previous player taking a walk?).

Oh, and my prophet is gone too - can anyone give me a hint as to what sort of blessing, if any, Ulm has?

Anyhow, feel free to commence diplomacy, or an invasion, or whatever

I would say strike down 1-eyed heretics of Agartha, that would serve the realm as whole!

It seems that Soyweiser has also some problems =(
i will postpone next turn to give him some time to shows up or to find a sub.

Mad props to the nameless soldier who passed out from fatigue and terror on the battlefield. As he bravely lay there, the enemy mages were so disturbed by their inability to harm him that they broke and ran.

A new monument, "the statue of the comatose soldier" will be built to honor him in Bogarus.

timer switched to 36h as it should have been.

Btw RIP comatose soldier.

TwoBits, just so we're clear, it's generally considered bad form to send one diseased commander at an army. I have no idea if it was a mistake or what your intention was but it's because you can use that to prevent an entire army from moving (just a bit of a foible of the game). Fortunately I was planning on maintaining the siege.

Oops, sorry about that! I had just noticed this diseased commander, and figured I'd pull the typical suicide move to save a few gold on upkeep, and maybe gain some intel while I was at it.

But looking at it from your perspective, I can see how it might appear to be just another variant of the 'scout blocking' exploit.

Truly wasn't my intention though. I'll have to pay more attention to those kinds of details (and maybe try to use someone's PD to 'shed payroll').
