Whatever it is, I'm sure someone will figure out a way to kill it. :)

Say, can anyone explain to me the rules for movement with regards to combat? Is it possible to catch an army that keeps moving to different provinces by moving to the province they're in now or do you have to anticipate their movement? (I know you can do it with magical movement like teleport, but I'm talking about regular movement). If two armies move toward each other on the same turn, which province do they fight in?

I'm not sure about the catching, but when two armies move into each other they either:
1 Fight in one province
2 Fight in the other province
3 Pass each other without fighting

It's random which happens, but 3 is very unlikely. Stealth and army size may play into how unlikely it is, though.

Actually random and not dependent on like the movement points of the army? Hmmm :(.

Well, this next turn will probably hurt and it's my own fault for not paying attention. I really wish that the game would ungroup commanders that you order to move multiple provinces together, when one of them has movement 1 troops under their command. It's probably my only serious UI complaint.

If you want to change your orders after you send in a .2h file, you can simply send in a new one, you know. At least, as long as it hasn't hosted already.

I know that, the mistake was on last turn's orders.

IIRC it's not possible.

Alright, that jives with the description of movement in the manual, so it's probably true.

Also I hadn't seen this one before:

Goodness being a Independent isn't as easy as it used to be.

I used to get 2 gold peices to the cow... Now Cows are 50.

One and a half hour left. Karlito still hasn't sent in his turn.

Nothing bad happened last time, but are you going to push your luck?

Well, I'm sure he'll send it on time though~

Considering that the only independents left are barbarians, villains and troglodytes, that's not strange. Sure, it's tough but that's what you get for being independent in the first place.

I live! Damn, I'm pretty upset with myself that I missed those two turns though. Nothing game breaking, but I'll be feeling the effects for a while.

I've complained about this before, but I'm having awful luck for a nation with Luck 3 scales. This turn, I finally got my first national hero.

Well, at least I don't have Misfortune 3. That's a terrible pick because it opens up a bunch of extremely nasty events.

And gives you a flat 0% chance of getting your national heroes. It's 3% +- your luck scale, IIRC.

Wasn't there some magic/drain involved as well?

It is advisable for players who find themselves unlikely to continue playing(meaning Man & Midgard) to set themselves to AI. It is preferable to just letting their turns stall.

Also, I think I'll officially drop the newsletter thingy, as I can't find enough time or inspiration these days.
It'd be nice if the remaining players put all the misinformation, propaganda, and slanders here in the thread instead.
