Looks like it's time to go AI, nothing left that I can do at this point.

My scouts are inclined to agree with that assessment. Those were some big battles you fought. If only you had known that Caelum has an ace in the form of turn-0 storm (you do have that, right USEC_OFFICER?).
Well, you'd still probably get your ass kicked by Aby's million billion soldiers but there'd be more dead birds in your wake.

Eeeeeek, sorry I thought I submitted my turn yesterday! I'll send it when I get home in ~7 hours.

Also, thanks for playing Hugehead!

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.

I really need to make myself one of those. Or three or four.

And that's another AI down for the count. Fare thee well, snakes and apes of Patala.

Uh, sorry about killing all the scouts, guys. Gotta stick them in places where I don't have unrest to keep down! :P

Whoa, that’s a full scout all the way. Double scouts, oh my god. It’s a double scouts, all the way. Whoa that’s so intense. Whoa man! Wow! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa ho ho oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Woo! Oh wow! Woo! Yeah! Oh ho ho! Oh my god! Oh my god look at that! It’s starting even to look like a triple scout! Oh my god it’s full on! Double scout all the way across the sky! Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh god. What does this mean? Oh. Oh my god. Oh. Oh. God. It’s so covert, oh my god it’s so sneaky and informative! Oh. Ah! Ah! It’s so beautiful! [Crying? Laughing?] [Pretty sure he’s crying.] [Now he’s laughing and crying.] Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god! Oh my god, it’s a double complete scout! Oh right in my front yard. [Laughter] Oh my god. Oh my god, what does it mean? Tell me. [Crying] Too much. I don’t know what it means. [Laughter] [Heavy breathing] Oh my god it’s so intense. Oh. Oh. Oh my god.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Added 12h to the clock to avoid a few stales (alas I'm one of the would-be's). I should still get my turn in by the original due date, if only barely.

Well, that's an interesting swing in the dominion graphs.

I wish I hadn't gotten lazy and stopped updating my spreadsheet with the Llamaserver numbers.  Now, I need to wait to get to my home machine as well.

Ok, so it's nothing super unexpected. Patala's dominion disappeared and the nearby ones are filling in the gap.

Perhaps, but Pangaea's fall is still rather dramatic. Wouldn't a simple replacement for the most part be presented by a simple upwards curve by those replacing Patala's dominion?
