Huh, turns out immobile units can't participate in sallies(who knew!). So much for my god-on-god extravaganza I had in planning.

Did you test this beforehand or is there now a bunch of broccoli hanging out on Atlantis Island?

Edit: also, it might be worth looking up the keyboard shortcut for what you're trying to do and use that. I know summoned Watchers can only patrol if you use the patrol shortcut key.

This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Yeah, The Broccoli wanted to be in the Hall of Fame too, so it appeared rather unexpectedly in the reposessed Atlantean fortress - currently under siege.

I'm not going to try using shortcuts. While Watchers not being able to patrol does seem like a bug, in this case forcing an immobile unit to move would be rather exploit'y in my opinion.

I could probably wait a turn for Waterplouf to breach the walls, but then we'd have to fight through the narrow gates, which would feel anticlimactic. I'm too eager to do a proper battle - it's been a while since I felt the thrill.

I was getting some deja vu with email notifications there. And yeah, posting on Bay12's been slow and finicky today.

Cheers Karlito, glad to see our in game enmity is restricted to just that. :P

Speaking of which, I looked at the turn. I'm glad you're proud of yourself, and to be honest I was worrying alot - but having looked at your army and the losses chart... I'm going to say that I did reasonably well.

Now you will learn that the second army is not merely a fabrication as it should be on you in 2 - 4 turns. :D

Good luck!

My losses were entirely in freespawn, though. I thought I'd done pretty well killing all those mages, but maybe it only takes you 3 or 4 turns to build that many with all those forts you've got.

Exactement. I'm still site searching some of my lands as well with teh bootstrapped dood. If you beat the next army I might have to use the Tatsus. :P

The missing turn submissions problem is getting out of hand.
We need people to declare themselves whether they want to continue playing, can't make it even at 70+h, or are simply temporarily obstructed by Important Stuff.

I've just sent in my turn. I apologize for my current inactivity. I'm quite busy at work and when I'm at home, I'm not behind my computer that much anymore.

I just forgot, but now I'm thinking I might as well go AI.  It's been fun.

EDIT: Ok, I've went AI.  Time to divy up the corpse that is my land.

I'll carry on playing, but tbh at this point the game is just dragging along for me. However I (perhaps brashly) percieve my empire to have a tangible effect on the outcomes of my neighbours, so at the moment I'll play for their sake. :)

EDIT : You guys have all been amazing fun to play with. You are not the problem. The problem is my limited attention span and the somewhat plodding nature of the game.

To Korbac: Honestly, if you pump up your research, you can do quite well.  Those masses of forts would be hard for any foe to conquer, and your nation has tremendous diversity in mages.  I've found quite fun in making plans of opponent doom and seeing how they've went.  Unfortunately, most of those plans ended badly for me, but the plans certainly helped keep my interest.

To Everyone: Good luck to all but Il Palazzo and Boski!  Just kidding: Il Palazzo has been a good friend for the last few turns, and Boski didn't have much of a choice, what with only having me as a border and knowing I would never truly rest after his attack until he perished.  So, it's been fun playing with all of you.
