minor edit, I threw a Tower on 40

[notquitethere]

Ah cool, I've updated that on my local version now.

OK, so just Cerapa and we can enter the killing seasons...

[cerapa]

Is that a raze powered backstab I see to the south?

I think it's impossible for you to cleanse the north of the Ents. I was exceptionally tempted to just leave the north as is, to see how my fertile lands would be divided between you all, but I guess I will try to survive.

EDIT: Fudged some tile numbers.
EDIT2: Holy crap, I didn't realize that cities gave defense. I am totally gonna survive this.

...holy crap, so they do! Wow my soft underbelly is way less soft than I had thought. Also wow this war is gonna be way bloodier than I had prepared for.

Yup. Cities give population caps. Forts give raid protection (raids never really took off, but they can be pretty useful in an early Fall campaign), and are denied to the enemy (while cities will give him defense). it's a balance (but cities are more generally useful, IMHO).
Other rules of note for the WAAAGH:

• you can't conquer what you raided (though you can harvest what you conquered)
• population counts from the start of your turn, not the start of the season
• Attacking across a river is +1 actions
• Ents expand into forests easily, but don't get any defensive or offensive bonuses in that terrain
• Merfolk can expand and conquer oceans easily (0 defense), but get no special defensive bonus, and no bonuses whatsoever for lakes

(no other races in play have terrain boni or mali)

Year Four - Fall

All that summer trenches were dug, ramparts laid and weapons forged. For fall would be season of slaughter...

[GreatWyrmGold]

I have no neighbors to conquer, raze, or raid. I have no fields to harvest. I have nothing I want to dismantle. Guess I should Heresy.
...Why are there no inland Plains?

Channel the 86/100, 113/114, and 113/127 borders.

[notquitethere]

...Why are there no inland Plains?

Uh, there were a few to begin with but they've been desertified. My design choice was to have no lakes on shores and so the other terrain features tended to go by the shore-line. I'm still thinking about map construction for the next game. One idea is for players to take turns creating the map, placing maybe three tiles at a time until all the land tiles are used.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It's annoying, you know? I can't really do much to destroy the enemy productive capacity. Turning terrain to lakes should do something to--actually, I think I've mentioned this before.

[notquitethere]

You're right. I think in the next version, converting terrain types (in whatever way) will destroy fortifications and cities.

[a1s]

Foreign ministry of the Pearly Swine must regretfully inform The Accord, that their act of unprovoked aggression against the peaceful Djinn has not gone unnoticed, and they are now enemies of the Swine. Once the Council of Trees situation is over, they will be deal with.

[notquitethere]

The Accord send their humble condolences to the presumably offended honour of the Pearly Swine and point to the repeated aggression of the Djinn in the Grit Wars as casus belli for a pre-emptive strike. They also note that, being located on opposite sides of the island, being 'dealt with' is an easier proposition to threat than to enact.

[a1s]

Well it was that or issuing a "moral embargo". And that's just stupid.

By the way, in case any observers wandered in, we're waiting for Dariush to take his turn.
