Well, castle storming has never been my speciality. And the 25+ gems that rain down on me in form of remotes every turn aren't making them more easy.

Btw.
Atlantis, bring it on!
Whilst your allies are wasting precious resources with the sole purpose of destroying us, risking and loosing SCs and thugs all that your forces dare are to attack 30 lone mermen. We laugh at your cowardice and the foolishness of your allies, we know who will reap the spoils of war once they are worn down. Upon the walls of our castle we stand with torn armor and chipped swords and challenge you! Steel judges the worthy, not the tongue.

Torn armor and chipped swords? Most of your forces are vinemen! Heh.

Squirrelloid · #**263** December 2nd, 2009, 02:09 AM

I'll come when i'm ready and not a moment sooner. Moving forces around under water is *slow*.

You're of course welcome to try to return to the sea.

You have 15 basalt kings next to us and are still not ready?
Well, as I said there's some people paying for the war and one reaping the spoils.

Squirrelloid · #**265** December 2nd, 2009, 05:46 PM

Patience, they'll be there soon enough.

Relatedly, since you're so excited to have me attack you, that must mean you have some dirty trick up your sleeve to repulse me. Losing 15BKs would be disastrous.

Illuminated One · #**266** December 2nd, 2009, 08:02 PM

That's clever letting your allies run into the dirty tricks first.

The Fomorian Kings would like to thank the Ulmish horde for this nice hat which allows charming. It was indeed a nice gift!

Well! It would seem that 2/3 of the vast, yet incomprehensibly poor nation of tir na nog is under demonic monkey control. I was preparing for war with you anyway since I'm probably closest materially to being your "competitor", but I guess you forced my hand. Let the scripting nightmares begin!

To the rest of the world: I have no idea whether I can defeat the juggernaut that is lanka. If, in the next two or three turns lanka has not suffered major defeats on the field, I will pretty much be toast and lanka will be well on the way to winning the game.

Let me rephrase that. If, within 3 turns, I do not have most of my territory back under my control, lanka WIlL WIN the game unless all of you IMMEDIATELY join together and smash him before he conquers me (much like most of the world is doing to ulm right now). This is not a cry for help, this is a heads up. So pay close attention to the next few turns and be ready to show lanka that you're not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

This has been a public service announcement. And remember, the only good demon monkeys are dead demon monkeys.

Lanka agrees completely, that's why our armies only contains (un)dead monkeys and demons. Now if we only could do the same with our PD.

Upon further review, lanka is actually very close to meeting the game's victory conditions. If I lose both my capitols to him, he will be only one capitol away from winning the game. He's a lot closer to winning than even I thought. Since he now has two very large armies sitting outside my capitol and I did basically no real damage to him this turn (except maybe to his blood economy...), the chances of me fighting him back are becoming vanishingly small.

It looks like this game is nearly over.
