Redwich - a dramatic game (in progress)

[Squirrelloid]

TC might do well to remember that as this game is playing with non-unique gem generators, territory is a poor rating of power. The real rating of power is how many bloodstones, fever fetishes, and clams a nation has. And Eriu is willing to disclose that our water gem income is rather anemic, a gem type that is important in such a game setting. Especially as we have other valuable uses for water gems besides. We also have not engaged in the barbaric practice of hunting blood slaves, nor are we known for our fire mages. As such, Eriu can virtually guarantee we are *not* winning this game and are not a power to be reckoned with.

And taking the Skaven capitol took *3 years* despite having effectively won the war year 1. Time during which resources that might have gone to site searching and indie expansion were wasted trying to tear the rat's walls down. That particular gem income was dearly bought.

Given the national magic paths of their mages and summons (as both are well suited to clamming), Eriu rather imagines TC and BL to be competing for that title - perhaps they should fight each other? Especially TC since they've mostly turtled behind strong castle walls and sat out of any real warfare - plenty of time to dedicate their cash to research, and their gems to gem generators.

On globals: Mother Oak is a weak gem generator, nothing compared to Earth Blood Seep owned by Vanheim. And you're seriously going to hold Fata Morgana against us? Its perhaps the worst global in the game, bar none. It was merely convenient to cast.

Edit: It probably shouldn't even need pointing out that Eriu is exceptionally weak in the endgame, whereas BL is a strong end game power and TC is no slouch. And as a seemingly strong blood nation I imagine Arga Dis is pretty good too. My neutralizing (not defeating, just neutralizing) of Vanheim should be seen as a public service since they're arbitrarily better later compared to Eriu.
