MP: ComfortZone - All MA Nations - Running

[licker]

Abysia agrees that the starting positions were screwy.

As our pathetic income attests, we have not seen a province with more than 6k pop in our general area. Thus making our only choice to take one with 30k+...

Still the corner nations have a massive advantage on this map it would seem, we'll see if they translate it into anything or not.

the pink community of tien chi declares war, not really for land but just to see those hot sweaty warrior bodies, meow.

Rabble rabble rabble!

Who the hell thought Fallacy would be a good idea?!?

OK, so qio has officially taken over Caelum from Caec. Hosting will be postponed by 12hrs to give him a chance to get his feet underneath him; the new deadline is 21:50 GMT on Wednesday December 3rd.

Cheers,

No comment.

Nations of the world, rejoice!

Mismeasure, Prince of Strength, The Rock, Pantokrator II, of Man has awoken!

And to get things off on the right foot, He, as a demonstration of His infinite strength and unrivaled power, decided to rough-up a local feeble old witch for her magically powerful marble-rye bread. The exchange:


MISMEAURE: Gimme that rye!

CRONE: Stop it. Let go. Help! Someone, help!

Mismeasure wrests the rye from the old lady's grip.

MISEASURE: Shut up, you old bag!

Mismeasure races away down the street with the rye.

CRONE: (shouting after him) Thief! Stop him! Stop him, he's got my rye! CURSE!


That's right. In spite of paying for a Luck scale, my pretender awoke, and was immediately cursed by the stupid Vengeful Witch event.

I swear to Mismeasure, I've never had worse luck in a game...it was bad enough getting the the Brigands-Have-Taken-Up-Residence-in-a-Ruin event on f-ing turn 2, and getting my only useful Crone of Avalon diseased during this past Winter, but this Receiving-A-Cursed-Pretender business takes the cake.

I am glad someone else sounds as miserable as me this game.

Imagine a neighbor who leaves 2 of the provinces adjacent to his capital unconquered while he beelines straight for you and petrifies your pretender, or another neighbor who sees an empty-Shin controlled ocean province (the kappa's were on shore leave) and thinks he can waltz in with a few mermen like nothing is going to happen.

What a debacle! PS starting wars with the first nation you see is not generally a good strategy for long-term success (unless you're Ashdod). I hope to prove that (shortly).

And Ashdod seems to be getting beaten down by TC already. Hard to say who is actually winning, they're both awfully small.....

why tien chi is winning off course, in but 2 months of deciding on war we have claimed the capital of ashdod (minus the fortress), ahsdod seem to be sending in the reinforcements but it seems to mostly be gileadites (now i doubt they'll do better than the gileadites from province defence). Tien chi will owe it's victory to the immensly cheap cavalry our lord has gifted us.

Now this game is starting to get ironic, Ashdod getting RUSHED by the pink community.

Oh, Mictlanese attache can tell you about a bad luck.

Our naive Defense Minister was convinced by a local dealer to hire a company of elephants, that counted for 550 grp taken from our educational budget. The exotic beasts were huge and fearsome, however their stupid coward commander ran away with all our gold in the first battle, after receiving a 2-hp scratch from a feral ghoul.

After the incident the Lawgiver had to agree, that abandoning blood sacrifices was a really bad idea — all that capitalism stuff doesn't work. Demons were much more reliable. For that reason we would like to purchase some research items, for exchange we can offer gold, all types of gems (except D), D gems and best virgins would be available later for trusted contractors.
