Silent Seas AAR

turn 10
Everything went according to plan except for 2 small things: The mercenaries instead of attacking my weakest province (like I figured they would) attacked my capitol! Thankfully my provincial defence was enough to send them packing. My Markatas rushed towards the cowardly mercenary Ichtyids, after which they died (quite quickly) sacrificing themselves for the greater good. The happy by-product of this is that it is a lot quieter around the palace, and hopefully that means the yogis can figure out how to use some of these magical gems to call for reinforcements from other planes.

The second hiccup is that the Caelians attacked the province from which I launched the attack with another force, which (since I left the province all but empty) quickly overran my defences. I am sending Boreda the scantily clad Yakshini, and Divya the Guru up there to solve the problem, while Devasura hangs out defending the frontline province he's in. Next turn I will recruit a Yaksha and hopefully then I will have three fairly powerful raiding groups, which combined could storm the Caelian city.

Chabila's replacement, Balakrit, is heading south and investigating independant provinces near T'ien Ch'i. Hopefully he will provide some useful information, like that Vanheim and T'ien Ch'i are at war.

For some reason I missed turn 9.

I believe that Boreda is the first lvl 1 priest I have seen so far. Interesting.

Best of luck against Caelum, but say, could you tell me what the Early Era (this is it right?) Caelum is like?

Level 1 priests in dom3 are basically the same as lvl 2 ones in dom2, there was really no reason for the levels to start at two other than confuse new players.

Early Era Caelum is before the time that the clans split apart, and instead of being ruled by the cold-resistant kind of Caelians is ruled by the Eagle Kings, one of which you'll see in an upcoming post.

Thanks for posting your AAR here; it's a great way to preview.

Shall we start a Typo/Grammar thread already? In Yakshini, I assume that both those which left and stayed are plural, so "... the most powerful of them HAVE left this world...", and also "... the few that still LINGER on..."

Actually this error has already been caught, though it may or may not have made it into the gold code.

For some reason those stick holding monkeys are hilarious.

Good going for the first year. Let's hope Tien Chi won't get any odd ideas.

Good going indeed, keep it up. I expect to see screens of the assault on the Caelian capital soon.
