Ascendant - Game On!

[Mozkito]

I always wondered what that did haha, thanks!

A swollen pack of quicksilver wolves flowed across the plain toward the dirty ranks of bloody Sauromatia, like a river loosed from its captor. The sky grew dark and dripped poison, and Tuatha Sorceresses, full of knowledge and power, some near a thousand years old, died.

The wolves crashed into the front lines of the Sauromatians, and turned out to be no more than fangs and mist. The rank and file raised a cry, bloodstained, filed teeth hissing at their foe.

Golden Sidhe and Tuatha, finally returned from their shadowy lands beyond, met the iron rain of amazon arrows with their glowing molten shields, not entirely impervious to the massive number of falling projectiles. They battled through the Sauromatian line and assaulted the archer formation, golden spears flashing in the sun. They lept, spun, laughed, and died.

Daja, the great mother of all Tuatha, called her troops back, but there were none left to answer. She finally fled to the safety of her parapet, crying the hot, dark tears of a lost race.

Goober the Witch King wiped his brow and licked his red -stained lips in anticipation of the feast to come. Just outside the walls of the fort, to let the remaining inhabitants smell the flesh of their kinsmen, the fires were erected.

And I hope that if anyone has game mechanics related questions, we can all help answer it here as well.

Ooh, ooh! I have a question!

I know what horrors are--really strong beings that can kill SCs and, failing that, send them down the path to death by horror. What I don't know is the difference between Horrors, Doom Horrors, Dream Horrors, etc. I know Doom Horrors are unique and possibly the strongest units in the game, but that's about it. What are the different Doom Horrors? What is a Dream Horror? What in the world do these things look like(I heard they were supposed to be really wierd-looking, but I've never gotten a horror attack, so I wouldn't know).

Also, err, it seems like Tir Na n'Og is in deep trouble. As it turns out, I think Kailasa is taking them down too. Perhaps I was wrong to root for the monkeys And in other news, Marverni is winning the war against C'tis and I just found a Kelp Fortress. Awesome.

Your ancient aboleths see much, but in this instance they are wrong. Tir na n'Og has been a good if reticent neighbour, and we would never attack them as you suggest. We are, on the other hand, annexing nearby independent provinces that border Tir na n'Og; perhaps this is the source of your confusion. (We do not blame you; it is indeed difficult to tell the many varieties of hairless bipeds apart.)

[Renojustin]

I've seen Minor Horrors, which are cute; your common run-of-the-mill generic Horror, which is already starting to look quite funky; and then, I once saw a Doom Horror I think, although if it was, it might have been one of the weaker ones.

[secretperson]

There is the Maker of Ruins which kinda looks like a funky huge beetle if i remember right. One that looks like a huge ghostly-type head. And one that looks like the dominions application icon for OSX (dunno if it's the same for PC) I think that one is the eater of gods.

To make a long story short, you DON'T want to see those doom horrors cause they are quite nasty . I've had a few SCs kill the doom horrors but the fights were pretty close and this was an uber-decked out SC. If I remember right the higher end horrors have armor negating attacks with like 6 or more attacks and do crazy damage.

On a side note, Battle rages between Arco and Helheim as Helheim strongly assaults Acro's prized lands. All seems quiet in the lands of Lanka as they quietly and quickly prepare an invasion force for Acro's lands.

[Renojustin]

Oh Lanka, don't you see that you're next? You foolish demons, the Hanged Kings care for nothing!

The Bloody Bags, merchants of Sauromatia, have wondrous and splendid gems of Nature for sale. Gain a year of life! Invigorate an entire field of crops! Unlock the potential of your member!

All they ask in return are gems of death and sickness. Give us your negativity, we'll give you the gems of life!

[Renojustin]

Near the beginning of the wars of dominance, when Sauromatia was still young and foolish, we bespoke ourselves kindly with several nations. Naive and trusting, we considered them to be our friends.

But then... Abysia sends minstrels to tell lies about our people. Kailasa refuses to finish their downed foe, something that is abhorrent to us. Our two erstwile 'friends' leave something to be desired in these matters! I am afraid that we can no longer consider you to be our bosom pals.

Do not be angry, only be thankful that you do not become our foe! We shall consider allowing you to make amends.

Warning, nations of Ascendant! It is known that Sauromatia is touched by death and arrogance. Do not purchase these gems of so-called life! Many thousands of Sauromatian children and slaves have died mining these tainted stones.

Instead, support Kailasa nature gems. Produced using environmentally sound organic methods passed down traditionally from the yakshas themselves, Kailasa gems are a non-polluting renewable source of life and vitality. Also, every order of Kailasa nature gems comes with a year's supply of organically grown bananas, ape-tested and yaksha-approved!
