Top research ho!
No, I'm not compensating for anything.
Smallest army and country.  Woo.
...
*sob*

I have photographic evidence that proves otherwise.
The government of Pangaea formally denies any knowledge of any top-secret military organization devoted to the weaponization of kindly woodland creatures called by the songs of any Dryad princesses we may or may not possess.  We are not, nor have we ever pursued any such Woodlands of Magical Destruction programme.

Oh man this came up in conversation today! Who would have thought it'd be Dom4-relevant.

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.

When I saw the title I thought it'd be connected to Midgård... I haven't watched that movie, you see.

The devotees of the Divine Sauce and all his myriad toppings see no need to spread pro-condiment propaganda thus far.

...I just thought it was funny and Pangaea-related. :)

Currently sending my 2h file, so the turn will be processed within the hour.
Looking at the income graphs, I really don't like how it is going ... :/

Uh, Mictlan, I did not mean for that to happen. I'll pay reparations - not that you lost much.

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.

Hehe I got back to back notifications this round. One very nice "You should have at least 1 PD in every province" message from Bogarus, and one "You caught a hiding enemy from Bogarus in your territory!" message.

Heh, it's a well-timed object lesson. ^_^

I got a message from someone before I found them and was like "Oh crap where are they oh no oh man." Then it turns out they're totally cool people so it all worked out.

Heh, my ninja died in the very first province he moved into. Turns out throne commanders can really screw over an assassination attempt.

Commander that's in a throne province. It might be a regular indy commander or it might be a mage that spams skeletons till your ninja passes out and dies. It's just something I call them, the game itself makes no distinction between a commander that's in some random province or a commander that's on top of a throne province.

Doesn't Pythium have water magic? You could research some cold resistance spells (alteration or enchantment IIRC) so that you can counter the cold effects in battle at least. Granted those spells will be a bit higher. Smaller scale buffs are probably around 4-6 while battlefield wide are towards the tail end of the research tree. And doesn't that throne give some water gems? At least little payoff in that form.
But that's a good reminder not to claim each and every throne as soon as you see them if they have bad effects.

Well, at least it's a nice affirmation of my heavy handed foreign policy.

Worse for you, maybe. Personally I would kill for it. Or maybe just trade a bunch of gems or something. I dunno.
