DangerPudding - random nations EA game (finished)

[Corwin]

Hmmm. I don't have much personal experience with MoD, but it does seem to be somewhat cheesy or bugged, based upon what I've read on the forum.

As the most air-heavy nation from those who remain in game, I am fine with not using MoD.

I have a question though - that MoD bug only affects MoD spell itself, not "Dance of Morrigans", correct?

[Tuidjy]

Last time I tried it, Dance of the Morrigans worked once once per game. Or
was it once per round? In any case, it was buggy in the other direction - it
was not worth casting.

By the way, at this time, every nation is an air nation. You, Tien Chi and
Tir-Na-Nog started as air nations, R'lyeh has many Fomorian Kings (no idea
whether they are wished for or enslaved), Pangaea has Tartarians and I have
a few sorceresses of my own, to complement my air randoms.

Ok, thank you.

As for air mages - you are right but what I meant is that only me and TNN have national lvl3-4 air mages. In any case, as I said I am fine with not using MoD.

I have lost the diplomacy game, and I do not think that I'll be able to withstand
three nations at the same time, not when one is Corwin's Fomoria. From now on,
my board posts will be in character, which means that they may be obnoxious,
deliberately deceptive, but will probably stop short of being outright lies.
In any case, I intend to have fun.

Note that I still stand by my personal messages. I won't be lying there. I
do not see myself sending many, either. Being ignored is annoying.

================================================== ============================

Please, help the peaceful inhabitants of Niefelheim!

A few turns after the attack from Tien Chi, the nations of R'lyeh and Fomoria
have launched a coordinated assault on the peaceful folks of Neifelheim. Many
of our castles have been besieged, and huge number of provinces taken over.
While we can boast of some successes against R'lyeh and Tien Chi, Fomoria's
artifact equipped SCs have torn a bloody path through Neifelheim's armies,
without suffering a single casualty.

It is probably too late for our nation. But those of you have not aligned with
Fomoria still have a chance to remain relevant. Even if you believe that Niefel
has a large quantity of blood stones, ask yourself: how does it compare against Formoria?

In gold and gem income, in provinces and in dominion, Fomoria is far ahead of
us. As we cannot prevent them from taking our uncastled provinces, the gem
income difference will soon surpass the income we have from blood stones. Add
this to the fact that their Gift of Health is allowing them to field Tartarian
supercombatants by the cartload, and that their Harvester is gathering 20-30
death gems per turn. We do not understand how anyone can think we are more of a
danger than Fomoria. Add Niefelheim's assets to Fomoria's - can you compete?

This is all about the damn Forge of the Ancients. We cast it, because everyone
was concerned about R'lyeh, but claimed to be unable to go after them underwater.
Well, Niefel is not underwater, and I guess we are paying for this. But when all
is said and done, we had to empower an independant mage to start forging stones,
and our fledging clam forging is very limited (by the number of forgers, not by
the availability of gems) For all I know, Fomoria has used its overwhelming gem
income advantage to summon Lamia Queens, and far surpasses our three clams per turn.

Well said, Lord of Giants. By the holy decree of the divine ruler of Fomoria, a copy of this Niefelheim's proclomation will be sent to our advance troops, who are currently preparing for Giants counterattack. It should certainly boost their morale, by convincing them that they are in fact invincible, at least according to their silver-tongued opponent.

I will not speak about Nifelheim strength or R'lyeh treasury - I am not privy to their High Councils. But I can speak for my own nation. I officially declare that Fomoria does not have a single clam. And the only Blood stones that we have are 4 stones that we have captured from Saurumatia'a AI over the last few turns. We do not have a single mage capable of making these stones. We also do not have a single Lamia Queen. Unlike other major nations, who can afford casting and dispelling 500+ gems global enchantments, Fomoria has to rely sorely on our magic sites income.

So we have do respectfully disagree with all these statements made by the noble Niefelheim Lord regarding our nation and our gem income.

Corwin, Lord of Fomoria

The attack from Tien Chi? As I recall it, it was niefelheim that decided to make any questions of alliances easier on us by declaring war.

However you have our promise that the people of whatever province of niefelheim we may conquer will be treated with utmost respect. There will not be much looting or unnecesary violence of any kind.

[DrPraetorious]

We promise the exact opposite! In your lands, when we conquer them, the subjugated giants will be forced to toil needlessly as part of our unspeakable mental experiments.

Those who do not work fast enough - or maybe those who work too fast, just to mix it up - will be paralyzed and slowly eaten, fully aware but unable to move! Also, we will have cappucino machines in all our temples and our religion will be much more fun than yours, everyone will say so because we will brainwash them.

We do not remember declaring war. We do remember withdrawing from a NAP,
because, in our opinion, you were acting in bad faith by building an
uninterrupted wall of temples on our border, at a time where we were in
a real danger of dominion death, and your dominion was already one province
deep into our lands. And we did not attack when the NAP expired. You did,
a number of turns later, without a declaration of war.

Of course not. Do you really think you will have time for looting? You
really believe that you will be able to stand against Fomoria or R'lyeh once
they have beaten us? I hope we are still around to laugh at you by the time
your turn comes.

> Also, we will have cappucino machines in all our temples.

Hot drinks? Is there nothing you'll stop at? That's it. Between liars
and hot drink lovers, and fellow giants that are just better at conquering lands
than we are, is there a wonder we do better against Tien Chi and R'lyeh that
against Fomoria?

Come on, Fomoria, say something to upset us, so that we give you some fight!
