Marmoset - MA game with mod nations - full

[Sombre]

Need I remind you of this quote from a Skaven of noble character and great stature?

"Die die manthings!" Warlord Queek Head-Taker

You know what to do. Ulm doesn't have hordes of archers or poison immunity or fire resistance. Their armour is of little consequence to your best weapons.

Postponed hosting for 4 hours at Digress' request.

[Digress]

Thanks for the hosting delay llamabeast. My apologies to everyone else. Back to the state of the game.

The seers of Skavenblight can report that Ulm's lapdog Man has declared war on our nation. This spectacularly servile breed of man has reduced itself, by this act, to the status of Ulm's most obedient and pathetic vassal. We will not sully our filthiest breeding pits with the corpses of creatures such as these.

They will, no doubt, claim a debt of gratitude to Ulm who came to their "rescue" when they clashed with the Tomb Kings. The war between Man and the Tomb Kings allowed Ulm to grow unhindered whilst their southern neighbours struggled before Ulm turned and crushed the newly risen Tomb Kings back into the desert sands. We note that recently Ulm "nobly" tossed Man some scraps from its table, presumably to ensure they would carry out Ulm's every command.

How long, we ask, before Ulm takes these scraps back ? Not much before it tears stewardship of the forest of Avalon from your weak grasp, methinks.

Again we repeat our call to all remaining powers in the land. Make a peace and turn on Ulm before it turns its baleful, and frankly loopy (in a religous sense), eyes on you. Its power grows while you squabble like children.

There is no glory to be had in coming second.

Chitter chitter. Where's the warfarin?

[Digress]

Some of our more committed believers actively seek out experiences that leave them with massivea and uncontrolled internal bleeding and a foaming mouth. As a result our mages have warfarin at the top of the list of research goals.

We have a developed a couple of stop gaps that your intrusion into our lands will allow us to test.

Apologies for delaying the hosting even more, I had no fewer than three games to start this morning! Took hours. Anyway, all done now.

The Skaven ratlings managed to kill no fewer than three of my beloved White Priests with Vengeance of the Dead, despite them having 15MR! How is that possible? And I didn't get any messages that they survived any attacks. So either the ratlings cast heaps of Vengeance of the Deads and there is no "you survived" message, or they are insanely lucky!

Also on the insanely lucky front - I was just thinking that the Skaven had no cheap S1 commanders they could use to Magic Duel my lovely white priests when what do I see but a whole load of Crystal Amazons each carrying a pearl ready to sacrifice themselves to the ratty cause. Lucky rats! I guess that means no more White Priests for me then.

I have to say, having effectively got a single useful mage which is capital only and has S1 is a bit disgruntling. Good job my troops are so awesome.

If only I had more gems with which to grind your leaders up with. Your army routing without losing a man was more than a little annoying.

As for vengeance of the dead - hooray for boosters and a magic scale I say. I was hoping to do a little better from that one trick pony (like destroying some of your troops to go along with your white priests ).

If nothing else I have made some room in the hall of fame.
