Just think positive and be nice, I'm sure the giants will be friendly    On another note; at first I thought I started in the middle of the map but then I realized it's a wraparound and there is no middle.  Thank God me?

[Kebooo]

Don't worry, I have no idea what I'm doing.

[gman8181]

Don't worry, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I'll give you a hint, research construction and use giant commanders with rings of regeneration and area of effect weapons.  Alternatively use a nature bless if you have one.

[Karlito]

Yeah, having the right bless on those giants can make them pretty horrifying. Luckily, the fact that he has a supercombatant pretender precludes a strong bless rush.

Also, I wrote a bit of fluff! I haven't done that since like round 7.

Spoiler: The Beginning (click to show/hide)

The Snake Charmer didn't just do snakes; all kinds of small reptiles and even lowly worms hung off his tattered rags. It seemed like every last creature that could crawl or slither out from the deep swamps clung to or followed the man. However, most of the Sauromatian chiefs only noticed the large black serpent that sat coiled around his neck and shoulders, and so he came to be known as the Snake Charmer.

Of course the chiefs didn't have long to study the man, he spent only one night with each tribe, often moving on toward the next before the sun had risen. Often they would shout at the prophet, spit and curse his ancestors, but the old man would simply continue to speak in a soft and dangerous voice, and one by one, petty chief and tribal queen alike, they would give in.

There were a few who resisted more directly. One prominent Warrior Queen set her dogs on the Snake Charmer when he came calling. She was found dead the next morning, with two small puncture wounds on the back of her neck. Another called for her raiders to shoot him down. None returned from the chase, and in the morning  the Queen was woken by a group of hungry Androphags. Word of this traveled faster than the Snake Charmer's old legs, and so by the time he reached Hippolyta, sorceress queen of the largest Amazon tribe in the land, she was already kneeling.

And so it was, that by the words of a Soothsayer, the entire nation of Sauromatia was gathered at the edge of the Pythium swamps when the Witch Kings emerged from the misty depths to deliver their new god's commands.

[Bluerobin]

Oooh pretty.

[ThtblovesDF]

The creatures of Pangeea feel the guidance of there gods dominion pushing them forward to new borders.

Sadly, the scouts straight out lied to me "30 units, archers and some Pegasus riders" - more like 29 Pegasus riders and 1 archer.

[Karlito]

Huh, wow. I just checked where the starting locations are, and some of the other nations feel really close. I suppose that's a consequence of the wrap-around map.

[Bluerobin]

Capitals should all be relatively uniformly 4-6 provinces away from each other. Unless I messed something up. There are two that look really close because there's an uncrossable river in between, though.

[Karlito]

Actually provinces 41 and 62 are have two provinces between them. I guess that'll just make the game interesting .

And even so, it means I can only plan to reliably expand 2-3 provinces in every other direction. Pretty sure I felt this cramped on the last wrap-around map too. Fortunately, every other player should feel the same way.

[Bluerobin]

Arg. Sorry whoever ended up there, hope you like your neighbor.

[Karlito]

Oh and 41 and 21 only have 3 provinces between them. What fun!

Don't worry too much about it. At this point we should just play ball.

[Waterplouf]

resolved.

[Endymion]

huh...
Karlito I might have sent you an email instead of a personal message. And I maybe also tried to send you a personal message after that, and unfortunately sent 10 copy of this message ( or the message wasn't sent at all ).

Sorry for the brainfart...

What, you've managed to have a need for diplomacy already? I must have sent my scout out the wrong way (or the right one) since all I've seen are the dominion of... well half of you, granted. Meh, regardless, I refuse to begin diplomacy until I have confirmation as to someone's location... not just guessing based on scales. I'll get into character then. Into our awesome, glorious godly character. And probably start creating a lot of fluff on that matter. But, since I'm still 'all alone' on this map... I shall use this moment to complain about my hit of being screwed over. Fluttershy has been too much of a doormat to my prophet... and now Angel Bunny is unequally obese. Certainly not the one and only HoF buff that Agartha wants.

Prevention is better than cure ( do we even say that in english ? ). I particularly like the diplomacy aspect in those kind of game and I like to take advantage of it ASAP.

If you want more a more accurate idea of enemy forces try and send in a single commander with orders to retreat.  That way you can see exactly what units are present with minimal risk.
