We Jotuns have 13A gems, its all we have, you can have them all in exchange for one pair of flying boots. PM me.

Welcome Baalz! Try not to make war war with me, like you usually do!

Oh man, that was one of my all time favorite fights. Wasn't 100% sure exactly how effective that tactic would be, but it goes down in my permanent playbook now.

Sometimes subbing stinks because you have to live with the choices the previous player made (not that they're necessarily bad, just not what you would have picked). Sometimes living with those choices and stepping into almost immediate fighting means you have to get creative. I'll try to write up an AAR tonight, good stuff.

PS I don't know why people pick misfortune so much. In the 4 (5?) turns I've taken so far I've lost 5 provinces to indie attacks, a temple, and bogus in sieging one of my castles. :/

I took misfortune because of the astrologers and I really wanted an awake SC, it's not really an ordinary game with the usual pretender builds with all those mods and felt a desire to pick the pretender I did.

Oh yeah, I wasn't so much complaining about your picks, just lamenting the fact that 9 out of 10 times I sub I pick up misfortune-2 scales which I very rarely pick myself. Personal preference I guess, but I guess that's a discussion for elsewhere.

Gregstorm, is "Rocky the Slab" for your certain holy site recruit a randomly generated name? If so, that's just absurdely rediciliosly appropiate. But if you named him that way.. that's just absolutely profane. I mean Rocky*? Does it have the lyrics for the "Eye of the Tiger" written on it or something?

* If you find my pet peeve ridicilious, you should consider the fact that I just sat through a Rocky - movie marathon.

There's just too many coincidences these days. You sure you ain't stalking me Greg?

Okay, I'm going to have to go for the 'absolutely profane' option here. To be fair, I did name him some time before your Rocky-thon took place. As to the nature of the writings... the idea of a religion whose sacred writings were the lyrics of 'eye of the tiger' just makes me grin. So I think that must be the case.

And yes, I am stalking you. If you look over your left shoulder quickly enough, you might just catch me at it.

Actually, now that I think about it, that'd be pretty funny. I don't what kind of doctrines that religion would have, but they'd probably fight a *lot*.

Heh, perhaps I should do new holy site to holy war based on that.*

*Or not..

Also, Caelum is in need of Earth gems. Can offer death or air or nature in exchange.

Sorry to always be the one asking for delays here, but could I possibly get a 6 hour delay on this turn? I just got a message back from llamaserver that I sent in the wrong 2h file, and i don't have access to dominions to sort it out until a few hours after the hosting.

If not, one stale at this point doesn't actually effect me too much, so I'll deal with it.
