Guys, anybody willing to write some AARs, or tales of glorious conquests, or tales of terrible defeats?

This game has been awfully quite until now. Reading AARs is a lot of fun.

It may be quiet for u and on the surface...but I am having all kinds of fun...I may share them later on...especially if they work as planned...I love it when a plan comes together...cue big cigar.

Indeed, the priest king Opochth has found that though they are as soft as our scouts led us to believe the pale scholar's blood is as red as any true man's. They will make suitable sacrifices, though they may be too weak to make suitable slaves. Opuchth reports a successful raid with no casualties, our holy jaguar warriors crept from the jungle at night and fell upon the unsuspecting scholars like the feedstock they are. I have ordered the prophet Camaxtli to join Opchth in his foraging of the pale lands for suitable offerings to the true god. He reports the jaguar warriors are uncomfortable leaving the jungles behind for the rolling plains with no trees in sight, but as there has been no real resistance yet moral is high.

The villagers did not appreciate the honor they were being done as they were offered up to the true god, and thier lamentations lead me to believe the pale scholars may have an army occupied elsewhere. I have ordered my commanders to proceed cautiously, though they view the scholar's warriors with contempt.

Arcosephale has achieved a glorious victory against Vanheim. The greedy nation had decided to march upon our capital with its troops of glamoured warriors.

Hearing of the enemy marching upon the Fatherland, our greatest generals marshalled a mighty army and headed towards the frontline.

Both armies met in an open field north of the capitol. It looked like another complete victory for the armies of Vanheim. But just as their armies were starting the final push against the Arco militia over the hill came a legion of Imperial Chariots pulled by mighty war horses.

The invading army was completely annhiliated with only their mounted commander able to flee the oncoming chariots of war.

Let this be a lesson to any invaders who wish to violate the sovereignty of our nation.

The snivelling goblins (Argatha) have revealed their secret flaming weapons and killed 6 "innocent" helderdings who were safe guardinging the fine people living underneath the shadow of these fowl beast.

Our generals are puzzling over how best to deal with this new threat... but we must bring peace, safety, and our form of freedom (do what we say) to these lands.

At least with our aid the noble Oceananic people have been able to cleanse their waters of these beast.

If only it would rain... and snuff the evil flame of these "Seal Guards". Why a cute ocean creature needs these guards in the first place has remained a mystery to us.

Wow, Agartha was in war with Oceania all this time? I thought that the losses that they have been suffering (based on graphs) from the begining of our game were due to Atlantis trying to exterminate thier rival and gain control over entire ocean. Was I wrong?

The loss of a handful of Van slaves does not trouble the righteous slumber of Kong, OverDwarf of Vanhaim. He considers you fortunate that the "How to counter Vanheim with Arco in EA" thread appeared on these message boards at such an inauspicious time, and will howl with mirth as your bloodied and ill-equipped empire crumbles against the savage hordes of Mictlan.

But far more significant is the discovery of an amazing power, bound to Kong through his magics, that lay buried beneath the lands of Vanheim until this day. The secrets of this power are for the ears of Kong and his loyal ActionDwarves alone, but enemies are warned to keep their distance or suffer Kong's full wrath.

Oh NO!!! They have found the Legendary Chamber-Pot of the First Van King. Enemies better keep their distance. Long distance. And mind the wind direction.

So Meglobob, still love it when a plan comes together?

Rampaging thru my lands w/o warning will get you just that, a whoopin'!

[Maltrease]

Gah! The filthy goblins have libera...[cough]... Terrorized another province we were protecting.

However we have come up with a clever plan for revenge. We have stolen the sacred seal creature that they are so fond of guarding.

We will toss off it off a cliff and watch as the lumbering "seal guards" jump off to protect it. See how much their flaming weapon helps as they fall 5 feet into a water’eeee grave. After they fall into the water, swarms of emperor penguins will devour the bloated beast. After which the friendly seal will be ensured an abundant food source to snack upon.

Ah yes... the excitement fills the air in our smoke filled planning chambers!

The end is near!
[muha haa haa... [cough] ha haa ha. he.

Greetings Marverni,

Congratulations on yr victory in the battle of Dawn, the giants of Niefelheim respect strength and courage. We salute the people of Marveni.

Given yr victory, we will send a emissary with the offer of a truce and peace. It would be a mistake if u took this as a sign of weakness, although if u choose to continue the fight we will respect that and sing stories of yr people's courage, long after they have past into history.

The choice is yrs...

Sent on the cold breath of winter,
Niefelheim.
