Hey Stormcrow. Marverni and I have come to an arrangement, he stays on his side of the river, and I stay on mine. Just so neat and tidy that way, and we Abysians like neat and tidy.

Glad you like my main army. Might be seeing in action a lot.

After careful planning and preparation, the Marverni forces have crossed the mountains. Their ranks have just one goal. Straight to the heart of the Ulmish lands. Whoever gets into their way mey be confused with Ulmish devilry, so better stay clear, as we the tribes do not want to hurt honourable people but are sometimes of hot temper.

Marvernis don't know to swim, so no crossing of rivers. The druids pull their hairs, but, oh well, there is only so much they can do.

Too much chaos...I was VERY careful to ensure the attacks from all three provinces into Citala had no sneakers and that all was well. The last thing I did before hitting Turn End was to right click on each province and confirm the moves.

But one province failed to send their troops. I've seen a bug report on this, but it is most unfortunate.

So instead of 176 screaming Ulmish, there were but 93 vs. 146 Marverni and what looked like 61 PD (a 20PD, right fantasma?). The missing troops included over half my Steel Warriors...the ones who should have covered my flanks. So his cav got thru to my archers...ugly.

So I only had a kill ratio, not counting PD, of 2:1...82 Marverni dead vs. 41 Ulm dead. Province Retaken...

If all attackers had come in there may not have been any Marverni left at all.

StormCrow, maybe no bug here. I sent my army north but it got stuck, but maybe it blocked your army from advancing?

BTW, my mage ignored her script and cast stupid berserk. And then my men just ran away although they had won!

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to buy PD ...
At least the losses keep my upkeep in bay.

Double-luck for Marverni, then. That was my strongest province; you would have been facing around 160 defenders, including more Steel Warriors than were in the actual battle.

If you'd lost that battle and the originating province your entire force would have disappeared. That is actually what I was hoping for.

Check the main forum for this possible bug:

Wonder if it is a possible terrain constraint? River between the two territories whose forces bounced...not sure if others experiencing this were trying cross rivers.

yeah, sorry for the bug hitting you.

but then my pd marching off the battlefield wouldn't have caused my troops to rout.
I hope you can move as you order this turn.

T'ien Ch'i is happy to announce, after a bloody battle, we have successfully defeated the attacking forces of Pangaea.
A ceasefire agreement is then reached. T'ien Ch'i people are all pleased about that news, hoping the war will never come again.
However, there are still enemies. Lanka demons are still there, massing elephants (with a sloth-heat-drain scale) and waiting for chances.
We will never let them succeed.

The people of Abysia are happy to give a warm reception to the remnants of the forces of Hully.

I'd like to request a delay after this turn (processing Friday). I have to travel to Stuart Friday night, returning Sunday. So I'd like to request that no turn be run on Saturday.

As for Mighty Lanka - half its lands are over run by Tien Chi - and if both Pangaie and Lanka could not conquer Tien Chi it is doubtful that Lanka is long for this earth.

However, for those that must eventually face mighty Tienchi
I would suggest that territory 76 - with its 7!!!! gem income.. and no fortifications and no defense currently..

is a good place to start.

sorry about that, I noticed it a few mins. after the schedule when the server was already running.

I delayed hosting by 24h, so the next turn is due sunday 18.30 GMT.

I will not be online thursday till tuesday afternoon. I will try to find a sub, or does anybody else need a break?
