[MP Game] The Eye of Chaos

[CayseP]

I am sorry, but something came up in RL and I can't play my turns. Tried to look for replacement, but lacking any set Man to AI control. I hope my computer Heir won't break to many of promises I have made to other rulers.

It was fun while it Lasted, and I hope to read some action reports here in the forum.

- Arn (Zeus of Man)

Sorry about that Arn

Hopefully sometime in the future we'll be able to play with you again. I'll try not to crush Man without thinking about you

The message had spoken of a breeding war between Man and Ermor (yet this could not be confirmed, for the ruler of Man accepted messengers no more). And soon, scouts brought Messages of battles in the northern lands where the undead slaughtered the inhabitants of Pangaea. It was clear, no-one would be safe from the onslaught of Ermor.

As a sign of things to come, a small detachment of priest was sen to conquer remaining independent province between Ermor and Arcoscephale, filled with ghouls. This was equivalent of teasing a sleeping dragon, and the effect was quickly seen. Messages came from all around, telling of Ermor trying to sway Arcoscephale's neighbours against her, of a possible peace between Pangaea and Ermor, and finally, a clear statement that the scourge would march to Arcoscephale next.

The undead massed to her borders, and Arcoscephale stood against the darkness alone. Pretty words came to nothing when times were dire, for neighbours both south and north were nowhere to be seen. As the undead threw themselves against the least defended border province, the few present priest were quickly overwhelmed by an army numbering to fifth hundred.

The first victory was that of the scourge's. But Arcoscephale's hoplite army was mostly unhurt and her god yet to reveal His might to the coming horde, so the war was far from over.

Pug looked down admiringly at his new boots. The craftsmanship was superb. Truly boots worthy of a god. He thought about the request he'd received this morning from the council:

"We beg you Lord, come home at once! Your people need you here. Your Smiths wish to consult with you on research. Your concubines grow restless."

He looked back down at his boots. They were very nice boots. Very nice, purposeful boots. Fightin' boots. He stood up and called out to the army camped below, "Muster up men of Ulm! It's clobberin' time!"

It was over. Our armies scattered, the holy forests in flames. The god has been unheard of since a catastrophic failure to break through the enemy lines. Soon, the Last defences would be destroyed, and the lands torched by the fiery lava demons.

I set pangea on computer control with 2 provinces and almost no units left. It was fun to play with you, hopefully I'll do better next time

It proved to be the right decision,to attack Pangaea sooner than originally planned.
As soon as the Messages of the war between Ermor and the nature dwellers reached Mardagg,he did order the full scale attack,directly heading for the capital.For this case,the damned legion,mercenaries with the power lying in their numbers,had been the perfect addition to the strong Abysian Troops.
The peace between Ermor and Pangaea did come too late for Oratha then,the god of Pangaea.
With the capital already besieged,there was no other option than trying to break it.2 Battles followed,in which the Armies of Pangaea desperately fought for freedom,but it was hopeless.Even though Abysia lost the damned legion completely(luckily there had been a Blood-skilled Abysian commander with the army,as the leader of the damned legion was burned to dust by his own troops at the very beginning of the battle ),there had been nearly 0 losses of regular troops.
The centaurs and minotaurs had been slaughtered by the morningstars of the Abysian army.

The remaining Troops of Pangaea were now scattered throughout the land and those unlucky enough,were trapped in between the newly aquired lands of Abysia to the west of the capital...together with Oratha,the Mother of Lions.
These troops to the west,tried the break through to the south...and lost again.
It was then,when Oratha tried the heroic attempt to conquer a province on her own as a Last try to survive.Unfortunately she did retreat,after her Lions did rout...heading to where she came from...but this province now belonged to Abysia.
With no land left to retreat to,she obviously decided to commit suicide
"what a strange end" Mardagg thought ,who at the meantime slaughtered the small stealthy army,which dared to besiege one of the Abysian Castles.
But still,even after their god was gone,there had been resistance in the remaining few provinces,even though it wasnt something to worry about for the Abysian troops.
Complete victory was now 100% sure and just in reach.

Thanks and respect to Mivayan,who played Pangaea until the very end ,being in huge disadvantage due to the attack from Ermor.
