Re: Turn 28
Even though everyone forgotten, in the black forest, in the great keeps of stone, the proud people of Ulm still dwells. Sieged by various armies from various nations for countless days, the war never ends. Behind the city walls life still goes on with daily rations being delivered from sacks that never empties. Research is made in the deep dungeons by scholars like Boethius the great.
Will the Ulmish people ever be set free or will the barbarian league wipe them from the face of the known world? Some Ulmians hope that the enemy will some day tire of sieging and let them live in peace. Some still hope that the glorious 7th legion from ancient Arcoscephale will save them. Some that the scholars will invent a magic weapon to crush the enemy. Most, however, just drown their sorrows in beer.
Help us, before it is too late. Help us...

Re: Turn 28
Dedas, good thing news of the 7th legions obliteration (they are now fertilizing Tien Chin's grasslands) has not reached the beer swilling Ulmites.
Arcos philosophers ponder the meaning of existence, its students praise the saving of a near extinct animal, and its soldiers fight meaningless wars in foreign lands - all oblivious to the fact the decline of their civilization is irreversible (hmm...wait that sounds like the country I live in).

Re: Turn 29
Arcos streak of misfortune continues with a rebel general who left the capital with the entire legion (eg I somehow accidentally ordered him out) and stumbled onto a huge TC raiding party. The 4th Legion was decimated. We expect the capital will fall as soon as the barbarians get wind that it is undefended.

Re: Turn 29
Great Khan Huo has issued the following response:
Calling the Hoard, one of the mightiest mortal land armies in the world a 'raiding party' is typical of the 'civilized' nation of Arco's arrogance towards the Barbarian Kings. This began when Arco attacked the Hoard without warning, and compounded the insult by not inflicting ANY damage with their surprise attack. At least the insults of Arco against the Barbarian Kings will soon end.
Out of character, Arco made a number of mistakes this game that are typically made by players that are not putting enough time in their turns... and Arco was indeed in two end-games. Arco spent little time on this game, and with it over, is now free to focus on his new game. Instead of splitting time and playing several games, badly. Only very experienced playes can deal with multiple end-games at once without spending alot of time, and sometimes not even them.
PS:
I am new to this game, but not games in general. I've played others, thought this is the most impressively detailed. And I don't think bad choices should be eliminated.
You know what "balance" is? The inability to make mistakes.
