Its called a "tactical defeat", stupid Umm men. Shows what your silly newspaper knows. And news is really, really BOOOORING. If you're going to make up some stuff why not make it about something nice, like Unicorns?

Anyway, the witches assure me they have a secret plan, they just won't tell me what it is.. its too secret. Its good cause if they didn't have a plan I'd probably have them all eaten. But if you go away now we won't have to kill you!

GO AWAY STUPID UMM MEN!

Extension added.

Now I need an extension, so another +12 added - sorry guys, work is a bit crazy at the moment and I am studying for an exam at the same time.

Before I crank my turn in, I am wonder what has happened to the Emperor of T'ien C'hi. We really need to keep TC involved (rather than staling) if we are going to have a suitably challenging end game.

Well, The armies of Ulm will take some time to reorganise, but we believe that this will be less time that what Man needs to get some new armies

I will need an extension because organising the next turn will take a while.
I also think that I broke mans back this turn.

Man, how many Grendelkin did I kill? I think I lost about 4 Iron Angels.

5 or 6? I'm not sure what they were doing in that battle to be honest.. certainly not what I intended when I gave them orders but nvm ^^

I've been struggling to figure out why my witches only occasionally choose to cast song of power when ordered to do so. It seems the AI just considers it a bad idea when faced with certain death at the hands of a tooled up Iron Angel

. Even so I don't see how I could have defeated the impressively organised armies of Ulm.. my original strategy wasn't planned beyond summoning lots of cheap ice drakes. I've learnt a lot

My battle scripting also went horribly weird.
Song of power is damned annoying if it goes off though, perhaps its some friendly fire calculation? As in, only blow up everything if the Iron Angel/Wild Ettin already nommed enough people?

Interestingly, so far I didnt have to bother using my reserves, which I may be doing now since TC (who I was intending to use the reserves against) is not doing much.
