That's a good point, I'd missed Pangaea's dominion taking a hit. I feel bad for my neighbors. At first I was pushing my dominion pretty aggressively with sacrificing, but I've pretty much stopped and it's still hitting them hard.

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.

So, it's still nothing super unexpected. :P

But yeah, unless he actually invaded me, I'm not surprised that my dominion score's continuing to tank.  I'm trying to push the tide back as much as I can, but unfortunately, powerful priests are not something Pangaea has in abundance.  Sneaky priests, yes, but not powerful ones.

You do, however, have cheap temples.

I'm actually entering the thread to ask for a potential sub for MA Ryleh round 401.  You're on the wrong end of a war with the southern hemisphere, but you also have research out the pants and at least one SC.

You need to have a province to put them in, and you only get one temple per province.  The only countries smaller than me are the ones actively being consumed by the bigger giants - Pythium and Man.  Even if I'm still in the game, I'm still the only lightweight left in an arena of heavyweights.  ^_^

Also, sorry again about the second scout slaughter. Apparently my patrols got more effective recently? *shrug*

On this early summer's day, we are proud to inform you all that the sorcerous, archaic menace plaguing the archipelago of Run and Waybridge has been defeated. The peoples of Bogarus paid with their blood for this triumph, and so our hearts and souls are with those families whose beloved sons and daughters did not make it back to celebrate, and we pray that Run Island's new democratically elected autonomous government will be able to segue into law and order without incident.

There have been reports that dark magic was used to achieve this glorious victory. Obviously, such slanderous lies should not be believed. Any such misgivings should be reported to the Central Committee.

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.

Some water and earth boosters? I assuming that you don't have scouts in Candle Road if you have no idea what happened.

I have no clue at all! Most of my scouts have been caught by either Midgård or Caelum. A couple were caught by the Jomonese security forces, but it was surely a misunderstanding brought on by the war in Mictlan.

Okay then. It's up to Jomon and Pythium whether or not they want to reveal what happened, so all I'm going to say is that it was very silly and slightly humorous.

Cloudy with a chance of some dragons over at Pythium.

But Candle Road. Yeah that was quite silly. So there I was, sending my pretender dragon who buffs with magic weapon-negates buffs to fight a cyclops I knew was wielding magical gear. That was just silly. But so was the fact that Boulder was still up and about and not in a retirement home somewhere, considering his lengthy list of afflictions. First he squatted my god then my worshippers diced his god. All lived happily ever after.

So that's what, six gods killed this game? Boulder x2, Man's Man x2, Cherry Coke x1 and Eastern Enigma x1? I hope I didn't miss anyone. I killed both Boulders, Abysia killed both Mans (or was it 1 and 1 with Caelum?), Bogarus offed Mictlan's Teotl and Boulder got his revenge shortly before his second demise.


Am I glad I subscribed for Scout-O-vision-3000, there were some flashy moments in that fight over at Mictlan's cap. Truly a testament to the might of Mictlan and to the valour of the men of Rus. Falling Fire devastated Rus lines and they just kept charging in the breach. And was that blood vengeance I spied towards the end when a sun priest targeted a khlyst formation? Ouch.
Mage losses were pretty hefty but that happens sometimes.

As for a fight over at a certain EX-Patalan capital... That was cool as hell! On one side the warhost of Jomon, on the other a mass of ravenous werewolves and raging berserkers. A few turns later, the warhost of Jomon fighting a ravenous mass of werewolves and raging berserkers ON FIRE. I checked a few of the flaming berserkers and they were profusely bleeding on top of everything else. I'd like to imagine it was on par with Elfen Lied or something. Brutal fight. Widows were made, shallow graves will be dug.

Sorry about the delay, I've had a ridiculously hectic weekend straight into a busy work week. I'll try and get my turn in in the next hour or so!
