I can't connect to the server, is it just me or is it effecting other players as well?

I can connect fine. Either it's just you, or maybe server had a brief hicup.

***News Flash***
Arcosephale defeats Mictlan Siege!

In a stunning victory, Arcosephale has repelled the Mictlan siege from their home province and have begun reclaiming lost territories from the previous lighting fast advance of the backwards nation of Mictlan.

Using their feminine wiles, our spellcasters were able to seduce an enemy Hall of Fame commander to our side. The other 3 commanders (including their mighty hall of fame prophet) of the army refused to be seduced and were each in turn fried to a crisp by a bolt of lightning from the dejected maidens.

Without commanders to lead the army, the foe's army was dispersed to the four winds.

True and very funny. Bet that HOF commander was glad to be seduced after he saw his nicely toasted mates.

Indeed.

Indeed, foul tidings. The word is that it was the foul magiks of a succubus which lured the traitor out, though we were unaware the scholars had the ability to bind infernals. Regardless of what dark sorcery which was used, our dark lord was greatly angered, and demanded offerings of not only the traitors entire line, but also the traitors very name was demanded, wiped from the records, never to be spoken of again.

Bereft of leadership, our mighty Jaguar warriors scattered to the four winds. One third of them preferring the martyr’s path rather than returning to report their cowardly flight planned an ambush on the scholar’s advancing army. Seeing themselves overwhelmingly outnumbered they conscripted local villagers into an impromptu force of warriors and prepared the ambush.

The scholar’s army was intimidatingly large, but they were taken off guard as the jaguar warriors leapt from the cover concealing them. Knowing they were charging into certain death, the conscript warriors were ordered to fire into the melee with their slings, felling foe and friend alike.

The jaguar warriors destroyed the initial infantry they ran into, but alas this was merely militia chaff. As the militia was being slaughtered, the mighty war chariots fell on the jaguar warriors’ flank causing heinous casualties. Still, the Jaguar warriors have a well earned reputation for savagery, and they turned to deal hot, red revenge as sling bullets fell like rain and bolts of lightning struck out blasting troops in the melee. There were also a handful of winged horses harassing our flanks, and they proved quite difficult to down.

In the end, the martyr’s sacrifice was quite worthwhile, for though the one third of the jaguar warriors which remained behind to spring the ambush were killed to a man, fully two thirds of the mighty chariots were destroyed, as were near half of the winged horses. There are no reports of any enemy militia surviving, though the better part of the ant warriors did not have time to join the battle, so their mettle is yet untested against our holy warriors.

It has also been decreed that a witch hunt is being declared on whatever manner of succubi are in the employ of these cowardly scholars. 5 virgins will be deeded to anyone who produces a head of this she-beast known as an Oreiad.
