I hate to ask for an extension already, but I am currently not home and I'm not sure if I will be home in time to do my turn, so I would like to request a 12 hour extension just to make sure.
I'll grant you the extension this time.
Please, try to be more mindful of the 24h limit in the future. Constant extensions is one of the things that contributed to killing many of our previous games.

If we end up doing round eight this year, we could use this pretty map

No, round 8 will be with this map:

I stopped being stupid and went to get my computer so I can take my turns while I'm gone.

Being next to Ryle'h is a curse in basically any age and for most races (Argatha for example can do little but bend over and take it) and you might wanna seek a diplomatic solution there. Then again, bandar log does have a few more options for the issue then most races.

Hopefuly r'lyeh's pretender dominion isn't too high or it can dominion kill you pretty fast, too.

Anyway, we could give each player an extension per week, so it can be used in emergencies but not abused.

Yeah, I do have a few more options. Sacred, amphibious options.

I'm pretty sure R'lyeh's dominion is pretty high. He might even have it as high as 10. Furthermore, going by the score charts, he has 29 research and got that all in one turn. Therefore, I'm pretty sure his pretender's magical paths make a total of 22 picks(archmage has a significant research bonus). Also, he has rather bad scales.

Yeah last game I think R'lyeh's dominion was fairly strong, but I ended up pushing mine really hard (dom 10 + temples in every province for about half of the duration of the game) and in the end I was overwhelming it pretty badly, so it's definitely not unbeatable. It should actually be relatively easy to stop if you just want to keep it from invading your territory.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the (hopefully) weekly digests from Il Palazzo to see how this game's going. :)

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

R'lyeh is also apparently now full of Nazis.

I wonder who's the most dangerous nation right now? I'd wager on either Midgård or Mictlan. Midgård is in the top spot for income and has some research going on, while Mictlan has their awesome troops.

Did you know you can get more than one hurricane in the same province in the same turn?  I found that out in my capital on the turn where my income totally tanked.

Well, here it is.
Hopefully next issue will have more content. Right now it is mostly filler material.

edit: damn you printing errors!

Loool, nice. I approve of your age indicating acronym and Varg dedicated column, altough I'm disappointed that the independents call their little feudal society a revolutionary anarcho liberalist utopia. The Ülmmensch state will save them from dangerous ideals.

I'm dreaming of a dead city
With angles Euclid wouldn't know
That was built strange eons agoooo.
And will soon come up from down below


EDIT: I can't imagine this anarchist rag has too large a subscription base with that ludicrous price.

Half a dozen fresh Fish? As a independent I find the price of that paper to be jouging.

Highway robbery if you ask me.

It's a QUALITY paper! And not tainted by bias inherent to the state-run tabloids that you usually depend on for information.The price is not only justified but outright generous!
