Fine with me. Hopefully we can make the change this turn. I'll be traveling a bit this weekend and would like to do so without worrying about finding an internet connection.

Great, I will send PM to our host. But at this moment it is still 48h timer, and FYI the game will host in 6 hours. This time I will make my turn.

Wow. That was a violent turn. I think my favorite parts were:

* Banishing a Queen of Elemental Water to the Inferno
* The Epic Story of 3E2D, the doomed Tartarian Spirit, who killed one Tartarian after another in one on one duels, before finally succumbing to a pack of Tartians while only inches away from retreating to safety.
* Ending MossBeard's reign of terror
* Killing or sending to the Inferno multiple tartarians laden with artifacts

Lessons learned:
* Lightning spear doesn't actually cast lightning, and so doesn't cause fatigue when it hits the enemy.
* Even with Fata Morgana, Mictlan PD still sucks.


Less favorite parts include the whole-sale massacre of many noble Beast Bats, and the staling or going AI of my noble allies in the war against Sauromatian Terror.

Bah! I am on a working vacation and had assumed that we would set things to 72 hours but nooo! Ah well I looked a couple hours too late. 72 hours would be nice for me until july 1st. Always nice to stale with your research all set to a thing which has maxed..

I know what you mean, I got back home at 2:00 AM, and spent from 2:00 to 4:00 doing this turn. A 72 hour deadline is starting to look really nice.

* hobbles off to get some more coffee *

You are not kidding, this turn was brutally violent. I had about 60 battles, most of them against your Mictlan armies, trying to halt their blitzkrig.

At this moment "Sauromatian Terror" is struggling migthly, forced to fight 4 fronts war.


All in all, after stalling last turn I have managed to temporally halt the avalanche of Mictlan hordes (for the most part), at least for 1 turn.

Many of my SC tartarians have sacrificed their lives fighting the endless wave of Mictlan's blood summons.

The largest loss for me this turn were deaths and banishments to inferno of 5 kick-*** tartarians/unique blood summons, and the fall of my critical fort.

I have to say that Mictlan turned out to be much stronger than I expected them to be. They seem to have recovered from our earlier war very quickly. Last turn they had more provinces than me, while their blood income is probably many times my own.

In fact I think most of Mictlan's forces were not really damaged in our earlier war, since they have wisely choosen to retreat them when they found themselves fighting many enemies at the same time. Ironically it is the very same position that I now find myself in.

Anyway, using most of the accomulated resources from the last 2 turns I think I have managed to stop the sliding of my nation in the graphs, for a moment. But I am afraid that with Fomoria's entering the fray on the side of my opponents it will tip the scales of this war against me.


Recently I have been putting a lot of resources into preparing a new strategy against Mictlan, for they have adopted too well against most of my current weapons. I hope that their troops will be less resistant against my new weapons and tactics that I will begin to implement this turn.


P.S. I have sent PM to our host regarding switching to 72h host, but did not get reply yet. Perhaps you may want to try to contact him as well if you like. Meanwhile the host is still on 48h timer (24 hours left until next hosting)
