I was Attacked by R'lyeh in Province Nr. 5.
The attacking army consisted, between other troops, of 1 Vastness and 7 greater Othernesses. At the moment I have no clue how to beat these monsters.
So any help, especially relieving attacks at other fronts, would be greatly appreciated.

Guys, look at me, I'm Man!

"Rly'eh is the real threat here, we need to ally against him! I will accomplish this by attacking every land nation I share a border with!"

Consider me firmly on the squids side in this conflict.

Yeah, I'd be attacking Man if I wasn't already dealing with Jomon.

For months, the oceans had remained calm. Many land dwellers kept a watchful eye on the ocean, remembering the earlier omen. In some of the lands on the coast, people had already begun to be illuminated, waiting for the arrival of the people of the stars.
After months of wariness, the seas in the south began to churn. Rising up from the depths came an army of mad or dreaming mermen and strange fish like men. Behind them were unrecognizable creatures not seen before. They were beings from the stars for whom the unenlightened citizens of man had no name.
Those who chose to take up arms were slaughtered. The following month, more armies followed. One was led by an ancient aboleth. These powerful beings had not been seen for generations, but this one rose from the deepest, most hidden parts of the ocean, lured by the new power. Another army came from the southwest, led by an illithid with the powers of the stars.
These armies began their march across the Nation of Man. Where temples to false gods were found, they were destroyed, so that they would not confuse the people or turn them away from true enlightenment. Thus the nation of R'yleh began to prepare the world for the arrival of the beings from the stars.

Tratorix, please read your private message. I did not mean to attack you and was really shocked when I received the turn report. Perhaps I am just to stupid for this game.
First time I unintentionally attacked it was with spies who had still unstealthy troops with them.
This time I just wanted to switch some spies around and moved the similar looking mercenary commander to your province instead of the spy.
All I can say is I am really sorry, and I am ready to compensate you with money or gems or both. I don't want war with you, that would be totally crazy.
So I withdraw at once and again offer you compensation. Just name your price, and if its halfway reasonable and I can afford it, I will pay it this turn.

Olm - if he attacked, then he probably attacked on purpose. There are no accidents in this game. Since declaration of war is not mandatory, the temptation is sometimes too strong. The only thing you can do about it is what I had to do with Mictlan - hit back so hard he will regret he ever started it. Only when you are perceived as strong enough threat, people will be willing to negotiate, otherwise they will just roll over you.

wonderloss · #89 August 25th, 2011, 01:09 PM

From what I see, Mictlan is not in much of a position to negotiate.

No, I attacked him. And it was an accident. Probably my last. Just too silly!
Well I will fight R'lyeh as long as possible and give you my remaining property in the end, to continue the fight.
