Silent Seas AAR

Turn 17
I was worried this month when the first scattered reports came in: people from my border with T'ien Ch'i reported an attack. Upon further investigation I found out that there was indeed an attack, but it was a magical attack of black hawks sent by Caelum! Thankfully I was able to beat off the attack easily - Anuprabha was in the province at the time searching for magical sites and organized the defence. This did not prevent him from completing his search: he found a particularly productive farm (able to feed 50 soldiers), and a mineral cave producing a small amount of earth gems.

I got my first look at the Vanheim war machine this turn: Balakrit witnessed Vanheim taking over an independant province. It was an interesting fight - a horde of Van Hirdmen against a troupe of war elephants. I thought the elephants were going to take it, but there were just too many Hirdmen in the end.



Ananda has worked his way north by now and is preparing his attack on Caelum's last free province. Should be a cake-walk. Devasura's preaching reduced Caelum's dominion in their home province from 8 to 7 - still a long way to go. My new Yakshini, Asisa, arrived, but I am giving her the task of helping the Yogis with their research this month. Next month she will lead out a contingent of Yavanas to the border with T'ien Ch'i.
