Uhh, I would be the Lord of Mictlan. And I'm considerably less threatening than that. Would you like a NAP? Perhaps some fine Mictlani crumpets?

Ooops, sorry. I meant "Lord of Marverni". Blaaz was playing Mictlan in my last MP dom3 game (a little more than a year ago).

Regarding NAP - I'll reply to you in PM.

Well written. Vanheim's skalds need material for some new sagas as everyone is pretty sick of hearing about Beowulf. Looking forward to the tale of Marveni...

Our small Vanheim expeditionary force just stumbled onto a Lankan army - we had never seen (nor played with) Lankans before and had been feeling pretty secure that Vans were nigh invincible (having never played them before either, we were enjoying the fact Vans seem to be able to take down indie provinces without breaking a sweat).

Talk about a beat down. Many Van widows will be in mourning this weekend.

The Demon Apes send condolences on our unexpected meeting in indy provinces! Unlucky timing on both our parts.

If it is any condolence your force was 1/3rd our size . I'm sure that if it was more even the tables would have been turned we would be morning the loss of our monkey brothers.

Demons, demons everywhere. What is the world coming to?

To tell you the truth - Lanka is the nation I am most concerned about in our game, playing as Sauromatia. I never played against Lanka before (since I haven't played any Dom3 game since it was added).

So I did a little research on the board, and played with Lanka in SP. Holy Cow! It is much easier to Sauromatia to handle W9F9 Helheim than to fight Lanka. I was dreading the moment I would see them on my doorstep.

Now I understand why Lanka is banned in another MP game I am currently playing on Q3 forum.

I've developed a couple of emergency strategies to try against Lanka but I am very unsure how effective it would be.

I'll put Helheim on AI this turn.

Corwin, do demons stumble?

Hope we are ok for a delay till sunday. Can't return till Sun night.

Regarding Lanka - Lankas weakness is its province defence - raid the hell out of him .. and keep him off balance till you can research demon killing spells and items.

Lanka in my view is the second strongest nation EA, played correctly.
