Game: Dawn of War

[Rytek]

Hmm, we may be in trouble. The armies of man stumbled upon a small army from Mictlin (150 or so) and mostly killed it... hah, well, Mictlin gained the province because he had 1 guy left when my guy auto-routed from the turn limit. In any case wipe over 100 Jaguar/eagle warriors and check out his army graph---it went up! Not to mention this turn I found out there are no more Air queens available-- guess who has those as well? UGH.

For the holidays, I will be putting this game on quickhost, no 48 hour timer, till the end of the new years week (1/4/08), since a lot of folk will be absent, including myself, for some of that time.

HAHA!!

I guess it doesn't matter now, that Agartha has been embarrassed by Man. But still, your news reports were fun, even if they weren't quite......unbiased.

From the Newsdesk

I want to start by apologising for the spottiness of our news updates. The recent war has caused a lot of disruption around here.

As of now, the Ulmish siege of Jotunheim has been broken. Apparently the giants grew tired of eating magical broth and decided that Ulmsmen would make a welcome change. They sortied out and crushed the enemy army. At the same time, their other force moved in and retook some land from the invaders.

Currently Ulm appears to have scraped together a backup army and we're waiting to see where the next battle will take place. One thing seems certain. If Ulm loses this one, they will have nothing left sufficient to keep Jotunheim from returning the invasion favor.

As for the wars innocent victims, a great many Ulmish civilians appear to be suffering greatly from Jotunheims magic retaliation. We've learned that the UCDO has created a new alarm specifically to warn of falling toads. It sounds like a triple croak followed by a sort of grunting noise.

Reports indicate that falling toads are so damaging when they die, that some desperate people are attempting to keep them alive so as to minimize the disease spread! One of our reporters claims that he's witnessed an experimental program to lure as many toads away from population centers as possible. It's hard to credit, but he says that he saw a battalion of Ulms finest croaking and hopping towards some nearby woods. They were trying to get recently fallen toads to follow them away from an important town.

It sounds funny but it's hard to blame them. The airborne toads have caused so much economic harm that, despite still holding great swathes of Jotunheims territory, Ulms GDP has fallen below the giants.

Well, that's it for this edition. We will update you with the news that you need to know, when there is news that you need to know.

I will not be able to do a turn until next friday night. I am going to be out of town and can not find my game CD to copy it onto my labtop. Sorry

[Zachariah]

...and seeing as you're mostly in the lead at this point, its only proper that we gang up on you now.


you're doing pretty well for a n00b!

;p

yah, its ok - like i said, we didn't even actually have a NAP - it just worked out that, since we didn't start out fighting, we had good relations. np on attacking me now, it's understandable
