Turn 41

I start getting some breathing room.

[Shmonk]

I am storming one of Man's last 2 castles. I had to go for it since it was right on my border. Other than that, my gem income is just terrible. I can't find a site for the life of me. I may have to sacrifice my prophet or something to get the heavens to open up and shower me with revelations on where all magic sites are in my kingdom.

Turn 42

Carion Lord gets in the hall of fame after only one fight.
I find a temple to some god in my dominion, but can't raze it. At least it gives me gems.
I lost two beloved mound kings.
I'm waiting for a national hero to show up.
