Turn 21

Haven't looked at my turn yet. I made two attacks but the stats show no change so I assume either both were unsuccessful or I lost something and gained something else.

I've sent a message to Fomoria in-game (i'll make it possible for him to continue in the game if he wishes or responds) but otherwise me and Vanheim will need to snatch up whatever is left lest we have the enemy in our midst, I would think. I hate doing it cuz it's like doing the enemies' work for them (noob on noob), I'd much rather the enemy attacks and takes at least some loses first, but oh well. At this point though, it is probably a moot point, just trying to be honorable. Same probably goes for Mictlan and Abysia.

More later.

I'm willing to bet that Hinnom will be attacking province (75) next turn. I'm curious if Tien Chi feels that the force in the fortress at (100) is able to take out the army of 50 that's there in (63). If so, then it might be worth it to do so. But, I don't know what else you're facing to the west or north. Of course, I'm not really sure how I could support you in that either.

Also, where'd Ermor come from? You're cutting through Hinnom's lands with undead?

Well, that went rather well.

I killed a heroic Jarl, stole his equipment, took essentially no losses, stole another two provinces (one from Niefl, one from Hel), and started seiging an enemy fort (sadly, with a force too small to hold it).

All in all, yeah, I'm happy with that.

I'm forging a ring of water breathing for someone, researching const-4 next turn (meaning I can do thistle maces and skull staves) and I sent 2 nature gems to someone who wanted them - can't afford more at the moment, sorry, but with luck you can turn them into a successful haruspex and grow your own.

Septimus - I'm attacking that foresty mountainous place with the pair of Jarls in, I've forgotten which province number.

I'm also retaking my southern provinces from Helheim, as much as I can anyway - but be careful as you're being sneak attacked from your east side by a Hel raiding force, probably those damned valkyries.

That's about all I have to report, but it's good news for once!

I think Hinnom will attack #98 or whichever is my province next to his army, and wait for him there. And I can get more armies there this way.

I have a Caelum army coming the other way, will be dealt with next turn.

Someone should do a thing or two with Caelum taking the Pillar of the World.

Yeah, I'll try I have two small armies running there.
But I'd really need a copper plate to get more than an all or nothing charge that he can easily avoid.


I've made some tests about Atlantis and I guess we can count Abysia out for sure.
I'm going to try a small hellpowered communion to deal as much damage as I can, and maybe I get lucky on the horrors.


Some other notes:

Lanka has sent me 1000 gold and 40 blood slaves and he has been silent on the forum for some time now.
I don't know if that means he has enough or that he'll not survive for long.

Sauro's army graph has dropped almost down to Abysia/Formoria level.

Maybe Atlantis is forging lightless lanterns and heading for the artifacts.

Hah, well hello Lumen, I figured Atlantis would do what they did, so I decided to get my troops out of the sea (prov 7) and across and see if I can help out. If I can get a foothold, let me know how I can help. Hinnom's inner provinces seem lightly PD'ed.

Well I captured 44 from Hinnom, and recaptured 11 from Neifel. Lost 232 to an unexpected attack from Helheim, as Darloth pointed out and Atlantis took back prov 7.

I'll recapture 232 Trisia this turn, maybe increase PD or do some patrolling on my eastern flanks.

I'll try to take 43 from Hinnom.

Reinforcing the the provinces that I have.

Darloth, that foresty prov with the 2 Jarls is 273 (Forest of Gilla).
There's also a force of Skinshifters and Jarls in 14. I am guessing 11 will come under attack again, as he could send in all 3 Jarls, from both provinces.

That Lavaere, he's a real team player. He's tuff and scrappy, much like Lumen (Ulm) a veteran of our first campaign and our volunteer cartographer. I got some stuff from him as well. He's still got a decent army though according to the stats, hope it is just surplus. A 1000 gold is alot though.

120 (Ripewoods) owned by Caelum has Wizards in it, but my scout doesn't see any magical site there. So he's got a site that gives him those, but I'm not sure if it's 120 or not... would I see it if it was? If that's a site he's getting wizards from them I'll try stealth raiding it.

BTW, Darloth, I sent Visions Foe crossbow this time around, as I was a bit low on fire gems. Have you tried that or an eye shield against the Jarls? Seems like it might work OK if you get a lucky hit.

Darloth,

sent 31 death gems (death income +8), use them well.

Trying eye shields this turn - Vision's Foe will probably be useful as well though, thanks.
