Shepherds of Creation Game 1 Thread

[Saber Cherry]

Hi everyone! This is your friendly host Jarnsaxa. The game has started, so please play your turns!

And good luck! Remember, no matter how lush and delicious my verdant fields seem, there is a Vanir hiding behind every shrubbery. They just have glamour, so you can't see them... well, that's beside the point, the real enemy is Baphomet, that #?%&$@*!!!

And please note that in-game, I'm JARNSAXA, a deity. I'm not my normal self. So please don't be offended if, for example, I brutally and suicidally attack Abyssia for no good reason. See, they're fire-worshipping hell-demons, just as bad as Baphomet's filthy humans. Also, I might take offense to anyone who excludes women from their military, or gives their female warriors inadequate armor (like Pythium). Sorry, but Goddesses are sensitive about these things

hmm... one would think you are attempting to usurp the domain of Pangaea

Now, now, don't you go making generalizations of our entire sex, dear Järnsaxa! My Goddessy self, as an example, rather insists that no durned female shall ever don arms. All they are good for is laying eggs, hisseth I!

Turn 2 is ready to be played, and it looks like Illwinter stopped doing whatever it is they do on port 8888... In other words, you can now log in, so take your turn! There're 22 hours left, and the Fishermen are up for grabs... =)

[Kristoffer O]

Your port is now 8890.

Hope it works!

So what's it looking like so far? Any sign of Baphomet? I stumbled onto a well guarded swamp that didn't have any special sites in it at first glance - man was I disappointed after losing most of my army against the durned barbarian lizards accompanied by city guards, no less, the traitors... A high priest of C'tis, even; there's no end to the affrontery! Makes me hiss and spit, it does!

Marignon just took an independent prvince bordering me. And my scouts spotted a province with Troll Moose Knights.

That it's so close obviously just means that you have expanded too fast!

Heh, Marignon is only one province away from my capital...

On another note, is anyone interested in trading gold for gems (particularly nature)?

[Saber Cherry]

I'm short on gold right now; been cashing in all my nature gems

Marignon is very close to me and I'm surrounded by provinces with upwards of 150 heavy+light infantry, or 40 prot-19 heavy cavalry (and plenty of infantry), and so forth... nice rich provinces, but will I ever take them? I wonder
