Awe...this game is ending fast!

Looks like the Frozen Alliance of Giants and Birds have taken 1/3 of the map and all the artifacts...Even Ermor doesn't return my diplomatic messages....

Times is Hard!

In south we have big problem with thug of Atlantis, and in north Utgard is strong, he lose many but starve is problem for us, Utgard is a dead land.

You know, its actually been a really long time since starvation was a problem for me in any of my games. There must be something I do differently because I generally don't choose nations with a great deal of nature magic very often.

Let me summarize my thoughts.

Tips:
-Use fewer yet higher quality units.
-Build castles near to the edges of your borders.
-Higher undead elephants, they don't even ask for peanuts.

Well, bum. I have just given a rod of the leper king to a mound king and, despite the description of it not affecting undead, my mound king is now diseased.

This is the Voice of Pythium

Comrade Vsevolod, General Secretary of the Central Committee, formally announced the conclusion of the Gathian Expedition. Although a formal declaration of war was never announced, Pythium’s 1st Army Group has been in constant action these last few months protecting the population of Gath’s most southern provinces and bringing enlightened government to the toiling masses. In a subdued speech regretting the necessity of military action, Comrade Vsevolod explained how, “... the misguided individuals, who even now protest against the legitimate annexation of these provinces, must be treated with respect and understanding.” Several re-education centres have been set up in the new provinces to help explain the benefits of Pythium Governance with this in mind.

The successful conclusion of the Gathian Expedition has further cemented support for the Pythium leadership.

In further news, an unnamed scholar working for the Archaeological Directorate unearthed an ancient tomb and recovered a valuable artefact in the province of Ene Umrul. As so often on Archaeological expeditions, the investigation of the tomb had unforeseen results.

An army of previously alive, commanded by Comrade Capitalist Hyena Rotbrother, the Spectral Mage whose tomb it was, protected the tomb. Fortunately, due to the quick thinking of Comrade General Dolgad, the Provincial Governor, the local defence force was immediately activated and dealt with the problem with surprising ease.

Speaking after the battle, Comrade General Dolgad said, “The legend of Comrade Rotbrother is well known in these parts. He liked his meat cold - if you know what I mean.“

Finally, the new re-education centres are proving surprisingly effective. Comrade Teacher Ooo Shashi, has recently been re-educating several malcontents in the Scraw Pointe caves. Together with his dedicated band of Comrade Outreach Workers, the handsome 23 year old is ready to bring enlightenment to all those who are unfortunate enough not to fully appreciate the benefits of Pythium’s democratic structure.

The Peoples of Pythium await further news.

It's Creative summaries of Dominions events that make the game so awesome! Thanks Shunwick!

Undead units don't suffer the ill effects of disease. So he won't get weaker, and he won't die from it. Its simply a harmless status for him.

That's good to know. Thanks for that.

Alright, 4 players down and 14 left standing. I've awarded daggers to Ermor, Atlantis, and Utgard. I should hopefully be hearing back from Abysia on their pick.

I've also extended the hosting time to a full 48 hours.

Good luck everyone.

[shunwick]

For Abysia I think the main damage was done by Arcoscephale.
