It seems there has been some miscomunication and some of my demonic forces killed a little pangaeans army in Eribon(76) , we mourn the passing of so braves soldiers ;/

Aldrick, my general who survived the fiasco with R'lyeh many months ago has been killed by my other ally. He will be mourned.

I've been trying to send my turn in for the last 30 minutes, but hotmail isn't working. (It says the server is too busy.) There is currently a little over 2 hours until the turn. I expect I'll get it through in time, but if I don't, is it possible to fix it?

Guys let us know how the battle in caelum capital goes !

There are so many troops there it will be an awesome thing to see, actually if some of you can film it trhough fraps or something similar would be most appreciated!

Yeah, when it happens, it'll be a big one, and since he's not coming out, it's gonna be VERY disadvantageous to me when I eventually storm the fortress. I'm not seeing myself winning it, and if I do, it'll be because of crazy lack of luck on Caelum's side. Having checked out his army just now I can see that.

And based on what I saw... I'm getting the feeling that Arco and Marignon really did send all their gems most of the time to him. I can't explain how he has so much magical infrastructure left STILL even with like 2 provinces (which are besieged) otherwise. 25 gems from globals + 5 from your cap isn't that much, especially when you'd need to alchemize the Earth and the Air gems for Astral.

And now WonderLlama, your remains of the "alliance of good" really has gone to new lows - you're using blood slaves yourself. ;p

How do you explain THAT?

My allies did send me the gems they had left just before they went out, but not before. Most of my income is my own, and I'm perfectly comfortable in my castle until my dominion runs out. Arco sent me his blood slaves when he went out. I'm not really sure where he got them. I guessed maybe he took them from an abyssian commander in battle, though I'm not sure if that's possible.

As far as coming out of the castle goes, I was planning on it originally, but then I discovered my fountain can't even patrol/ break siege. Somehow I though I had patrolled with one before. So that was a nasty surprise. Can't see myself breaking out without it.

Nah, it's not possible. Could've been an event, though. I doubt he got them through blood hunt considering you were the "good guys". ;p

Yeah, I knew you would probably not come out there, which is why I tried to force the issue, fully aware that I was going to probably lose. The extent of the loss, however, was a bit of a bummer - only like 10 mages (luckily they were the guys that mattered) survived. On a positive note, I have a LOT of cash to spend now!

All in all, I think if you ever showed up outside your home, your guys would die in an insane barrage of spells. So that place's probably the safest for you until your dominion runs out. ;p

But if that's all you... How the *beep* have you gotten hundreds of astral gems and a bunch of others while pretty much under siege? That makes no sense.

Went pretty much I expected it to go (lost), but in a way it went better than I had expected as well. Most of my unique item carriers survived the fight (and most of the SCs did too) while everyone else went six feet under or got Master Enslaved/Undead Masteried. Very little I could do against those - only thanks to Sword of Injustice I didn't lose the entire skelly army.
