MP: Setsumi - Come for the game, stay for the drama!

[Zeldor]

Oh well, are not game threads a part of propaganda? If not, then sorry But I really feel lucky not to have you as my neighbour But few turns ago if Marignon player wanted, I'd have happily switched nations as I really thought he is in better position [I know, I know, switching does not happen and is not fair, but still].

Anyway, Marignon should say something here to solve our dilemma

[Kuritza]

Lets just keep playing... Miracles do happen time after time. Who knows, maybe its not as bleak as it seems.

[Zeldor]

Huh, I don't like the situation in the north. At least I hope that Marignon has same feelings about his south.

[Anthropos]

I know its late, but, I would like to appeal for a 48 hour extension on this turn.

[Ossa]

To shed some light on the situation:

I went to help Ryleth in the beginning when Ryleth was at war with Atlantis and loosing. I NAPed to Ryleth even earlier. Once my attack commenced - and, due to my sailers, with a lot of success - Atlantis went AI. I didnt manage to conquer his territory though, as I cant take his water provinces and his monolith pretender is too strong.

During this time Ermor asked me for a NAP. I declined, as I was sure Ermor would only grow stronger in time and I was the prime nation to stop it. In fact, probably the only one, though I was not among the top 5 nation when I declared war on Ermor. I just thought my H3 priests would be enough.

The war started well, until Rigor mortis came into play after I took about 15 provinces from Ermor. Now the front has stalled, and only recently I was able to gain some ground by using an Earth master in combination with the medusa shield and about 14 revigoration. Together with 8 priests.

All my cries for help against this menace went unheard but of for Abyssia, who got attacked my Man before he could do anything.

Then, all of a sudden, Ryleth attacked a province of mine - unsucessfully. I thought this must be due to an insane commander (it cant happen, can it?) and decided to look over it. Next turn, the same happened. I decided to write Ryleth a message. Next turn, he attacked with 300+ troops.

My tries to solve this situation diplomatically failed - though I explained the situation with the NAP to the new player, he announced he was "commited" to the war now and will not turn back.


With Ermor pushing through the oceans for my island homes, and Ryleth going in from the south, I'm temptered to go AI. I cannont stand for more than 3 turns in any sensible way.

So I would definitly vote to end this game and declare Ermor the winner.

[Zeldor]

Well, as we are talking stories I could as well tell mine.

I got it easy early on, with Gath underperforming. His neighbours should have used it too, not let me grab all his provs and his cap. Same for Pythium - got his cap easily. Jomon got into defensive position really fast, so I grabbed his provs with ease [dunno what was his plan with almost no research and really big income]. I had no plans to attack Jomon really, but his massive gold income would mean he could spam so many forts and priests and he'd be a huge threat for me, sooner or later.

I was not prepared at all for war with Marignon - it were provs I just gained, far far from my dominion and my armies, which were fighting Pythium and Gath at that point. So I lost about 15 provs to Mari before I could deploy Rigor Mortis casters and other troops. I then got a chance to regroup, move my armies, get some research done and mass armies to open new fronts, through water, to Marignon cap.

[Juffos]

I staled five turns in a row in the early game due to some misplanning on my part, I tried to regrasp the situation but with Ermor going into offensive there was nothing to do but to deny any income possible for them

[Zeldor]

So what's the situation?

[Zeldor]

Yay, I have 45 forts

[Anthropos]

I've just sent in this turn.
Would like an extension on the next turn until teusday please.
Sorry I am going slow, real life is hitting me like a ton of bricks right now.
