I don't think money means much to Ulm anymore. His gem income can provide him with quite an effective army.

the game will be delayed because Chase (Shinuyama) sent me a 2h file, and the game is not registering it.

Default The heroic sacrifice of Kasisi

Knowing that after the second (and stupid) death of Dwalaki, who tried to take a province alone last month, the huge Man armies were going to attack, the black sorcerers tried a desesperate tactic, using flame storm even with lot of non fire proof province defense on the field, hoping to inflict some casualties to archers before the unavoidable defeat.

At 1 vs 3 or 4 (and better troops) it should have been a bad idea, the light Machakan usually lose very fast against the knights and longbowmen of Man, and when one of Crystalmist's hydromancers casted rain in the beginning of the battle, Machaka, with most mages planning to use fire spells, could only expect a total defeat. But for an unknown reason, the heroic Kasisi, whose mission was to cast the flame storm had the good idea to use only half the 12 gems he had, ending as fatigued a man can be without dieing. Then, as expected, the victory of Man was fast. Exhausted by the rain the machakan mages couldn't inflict lots of dammage, nor being saved by their phoenix pyres, and after only 4 rounds the Machakan army was fleeing and 12 mages / 19 were lost, the two thirds of Man's forces, including about 25 vine ogres, being still alive at this point.

But the sacrifice of Kasisi wasn't useless, so exhausted that he couldn't move the lone black sorcerer stayed on the field in spider form, watching the stupid Man forces pursuing the last machakan soldiers... and burning in the flame storm during 7 more rounds before finally killing him. The final result was 193 deaths / 252 regulars of Man, 33 magic beings / 35, 10 commanders / 13. One or two more rounds and Kasisi would probably have destroyed the entire Man's army.

Kasisi, the Machakan empire will never forget you, your example will survive and enlighten the next generations of black sorcerers. Statues at your image will be built in all the temples of the Dwalaki's cult, and you will be celebrated as a saint.

Default Delay

Will not be able to get my turn in until saturday night. Been busy repairing some damage caused by recent storms/gales. If hosting could be delayed till then, that would be great.

The Ulmish budget PD defense of 1 was sufficient to scare off some silly birds.
