Hey all,

Just repeating what I've sent to Valerius so we're all in the open here

Firstly Ossa, cheers to you for volunteering to take on the staling Mictlan, but I must protest!

In short, I was told that since no sub was to be found, that Mictlan would be set to AI this turn (ie. order sent turn 34, Mictlan AI turn 35). Now since I have a nice long border with the forest dwellers, I knew an AI nation would instantly declare war on me. With that in mind I teleported a bunch of mages about (losing one), expecting an awake AI to respond that turn, but nevertheless hoping to open hostilities effectively.

Now, several hours after turn 35 began, I find out that not only was Mictlan not set AI, but we now have a sub and (I guess) I'm expected to hand everything back and extricate my poor astrologers caught behind enemy lines, the net result being a bunch of wasted astral gems and mage time.

Hey, I'm the guy who drew attention to the fact that Mictlan was staling in the first place, I was hoping for a sub to preserve game balance, but when Valerius says:

Then I reckon you should stick to that, again for game balance reasons.
