The Quick and The Dead [ Calmon WINS!! ]

I am thinking a grand alliance must be formed against the Ermorian threat, that was my intent in sending a diplomatic envoy offering a ceasefire to Caelum (they are neighbours with Ermor - possibly even recieving aid from Ermor in the form of gold) so that they might ally with Ermor's neighbours and remove the vile undead threat, alas it was not to be. Caelum's short sigtedness means they seek a crushing defeat on the battlefield instead.

Who else shares a border with Ermor? It is time to settle your petty differences and unite against the undead threat!

Arkolaos, divine benefactor of Arcoscephale.

Ermor has provided Caelum no direct aid other than the mutual exchange of magical gems. However, the Noble Calmon of Ermor has relieved Caelum greatly by removing Utgard as a direct threat.

I am proud to call the Ashen Empire an ally. Let Ermor rule the lands and seas of our enemies, while Caelum claims dominion over the mountaintops and skies. Those who are neutral or eventually claim friendship may share in the spoils of war.

Those opposed to these claims shall burn.

The Dread Goddess Morkana speaks:

Perhaps this is where Caelum got its gold for the Troop Surge of mercenaries. I see that the feathered fiends are too weak to do their own dirty work. No matter, the mercenaries have broken like water against the rocks, and so shall any other invasion force. As unreasonable as Caelum seems, I would make the suggestion that any alliance with Ermor can only end in the death and zombification of its people. Perhaps its people, as bird-brained as they are, will one day see this and smash the false idols of "Gabrielle" before it is too late.

Are you mad?? Have you lost all sight of the victory, Caelum?

Ermor provided the bastion from which I was able to brace myself against the early, furious simultaneous assault by Arco, Ulm, and Utgard. Unlike those three aggressors, I do have a sense of honor and feel bound to aid he who stood by me since the beginning dark days of this war.

And Ulm really needs to read better. I've already stated that Ermor has never directly aided Caelum except through a mutual exchange of gems. That means no gold.

And the Pretender Arkolaos might need a new set of britches. I believe I witnessed him stain his current pair this last month. I think I also heard the *ping* of a birdcage bar breaking.

By the way, Midgard isn't looking too shabby either. Don't let his forked tongue take all the attention away from his steady gain of power.

Yes, I am King of the Beggars. Less than 50% compared to the topmost player in every useful end-game stat. Midgard FTW!!!

Well, as long as the person you attack keeps doing stupid things like hit end turn after having taken a peek and stales himself well... (and thus had the turn run before he could do anything doh!)

I am so annoyed with myself, staled damn near a quarter of the game, only once preventable.. At least I can give myself a lame reason for losing.

All graphs taken together, I'd put you in 2nd or 3rd place. What I don't understand is why you insist on only possessing one fortress. A few more fortresses and you'd have much more research done, easily putting you in a solid 2nd place.

But I'm sure there's a reason for this.

Just FYI:

Ermor has the Air Queens

Indeed if this is the case then we shall brace ourselves for the dead when they begin to arrive, for the Ashen Empire stands for only one thing and that is death, like a vile plague it spreads from their lands, Honour has been mentioned recently - most notably an attack on my good name, but what can the dead know about honour?

We call all nations to do what they can to halt the Ashen empires rise to power.

...and you lapdog of a liche,your recent victory was fortunate, had your Seraphs and yourself fought like honourable foes you would not have hidden behind your magical "fog". No matter we shall be better prepared for your magics , no doubt when your vile necro-loving pretender returns with more air gems.

Arkolaos, friend and protector of the living.

Majiks which aid my forces in battle are dishonorable? I did not know that. Well in that case I shall not use any more "dishonorable" tactics. Not.

Look closely and you'll see that my Storm Generals wear red tunics. Recently one of my Raven Guard asked why. The Storm General replied that wearing a red tunic prevents his troops from seeing the blood pouring forth when the Storm General is grievously wounded.

Rumour has it that the Pretender Arkolaos wears yellow pantaloons for similar reasons.
