We are merely spreading the news of our happy frolicking, and complaining a wee bit that the former waters of Atlantis are a dark, dreary, and sad place (for now). We already declared frolicking on Atlantis a few pages back.

I think grim Sauromatia's swamps could use some quality frolicking. My lizard masters complain to me that the birth rates of their beasts are not what they used to be in the times of old, andthat Hydras are getting cranky and refusing to lay eggs. Too bad merry Oceania's lands and its frolicking citizens are so far away. But we can always hope...

We described your dilemma to the old bishops of Oceania. They tell us there are far too many Death gems in your lands! These Death gems are dampening everyone's spirits. You can alleviate the problem by trading your sad Death gems to Oceania. We will send you 5 happy Water gems for every 4 sad Death gems you send to us.

Oceania

Very good try. Good thing Oceania's ruler is not into selling used sea turtles. He would rob all his neighbors blind with his cunning frolicking ways.

Unfortunately we have no use for water gems, since we lack water mages. I guess we will have to suffer sad death gems for now. Woe to my nation.

Now if you would happen to have happy earth gems it would be trade I would be interested in, with 1:1 rate.

Sauromatia, are you so afraid of my Pretender that you send troops around him, rather than attacking him. Sad. A ruler should have more confidence in his troops.

It worked, didn't it?

There is something about that eye on that shield of yours that makes my pretender uneasy...
Besides my archers are not eager to shoot at someone with prot 30 and poison resistance 150%.

But no worries, his turn will come.

I love that shield. I love the vine shield as well when you are fighting people who tend to route. Two of my favorite items

The mighty Atlanteans are done. Too much frolicking for us crabs!

Except for the whole getting obliterated thing I had fun!

How does one counter those oceanean knights anyways? I have nothing with an attack skill above 11 and human wave tactics are both expensive and ineffective. Oh well, never had played em before.
