Aww, darn, I forgot about that. Thanks for the sporting reminder, though. Makes me wish I hadn't sent away the stealthy portion of my troops.
Oh. You mean to say there's a sneaky bunch of troublemakers in the area?

Well, not a bunch, but they're around.

They're always around.

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.

@Euchre:
Awwww, what a shame. And here I thought I managed to turn you into my unwitting henchman.
For the record, I was only stalling until I could get forces to take out your fort.  I had no intention of our peace treaty to last more than four turns.  But then I realized that "I" wouldn't last four turns, so I'm honorable up to the end.   :P

Well, you've done well to fight this long, Euchre. There's not much else I can say about that. I can see how you could consider this turn's losses to be catastrophic, though :P I'm not sure about your fight with Pangaea, but only five units survived the battle of Brasov so that's a pretty bad loss there. And your capital's pretty much doomed, too. But by all means, try to screw me over. It's what I'd try to do if I was in your situation :P

And it's pretty thematic too - a being with an ego big enough to claim the throne of the world would not take kindly to having its hopes crushed.

In other news, it appears that Crushers are immune to sleep vines. Is this because they're lifeless?

I had a similar battle with Pangea, except without the survivors.

And your capital's pretty much doomed, too. But by all means, try to screw me over. It's what I'd try to do if I was in your situation :P
My my my, that is a big ego you've got there.  Il Palazzo will kill you, I have no doubt of that, and therefore have no reason to take any sort of action against you for revenge.

Honestly :

Odds of Il Palazzo winning : 90%
Odds of ANYONE else : 10%

Come now, what's with that defeatism? I'm no wizard, you know.

That's not to say I'm not going to ineffectually snap at your heels until you kill me. :P

On one hand, if we can dispel the seas of ice and hit you in multiple places we might be able to make enough of a dent to matter, especially since your dominion only covers about half of your territory. On the other hand, your force sitting on my fort is quite powerful. I wish I wasn't so far behind in research... if I could cloud trapeze my whole thunder strike brigade on top of that army it would be a fun fight to watch.

Just Sun Tzu of Dominions 3.  Same difference, really.

Ironically, I know that if you had the assets at my disposal, you could win easily.  But I can barely comprehend the game, and have lost enough mages to prove that fact.  If my losses actually accomplished something, I'd be a bit more cheerful.  But they have been pure loss, no gain.

I think so, yeah. Are there any units with zero encumbrance that aren't lifeless?

Dunno.  Some undead maybe?

Yup, some undead aren't lifeless, but do have zero encumbrance.

Elementals are lifeless, but elemental royalty are zero encumbrance but not lifeless. That's a lot of negatives. :-\

Edit: Oh, also the seasonal animals. Summer Lions, Spring Hawks, etc.

I'll have to test the sleep vines on one of those sometime, then.

@Waterplouf:
Welcome to the fertile* lands of R'lyeh! Did you know, you can enter our fabulous country without wetting your fins - there's a connection between Eataine(your fort in Southern Uthulan, province no.59) and "Cape town", i.e. Elven Fortress(14).
I'm telling you this just in case you've forgot/didn't know about enabling province connections to be displayed on the map - a very useful, if not outright necessary for this map feature in the Map Filters menu.
I'd be uncivil to pop up at your gates unexpected.

Thanks for the kind advice. I knew for the province connections display, but I wasn't paying attention about long range connection. Attacking you was maybe a mistake after all ?  :P
