Clearly it's some kind of terrorist plot. Notice that the first province the barbarian terrorists took contained a throne!

I have to apologize for not noticing the stale. I try to keep an eye, but... but.

Should we perhaps go for longer turns, now that the game's gotten to turn 31, or are you people ok with the 28h we've got currently?

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.

I'm more than OK with it :)
1 turn a day is good, it keeps the game in my daily routine, so I won't forget about it but still have time to plan and discuss with my enemies :)


PS: still have nature gems to sell c:

15 gold for each, right? And you'd trade them for other gems too?

By the way, is there a spell which causes huge independent armies to attack provinces? This is the second turn in a row that I've lost a province to an absurdly large independent army, and it's not like I have a lot of provinces to lose at this point, so if it's just the RNG you would think it would pick someone else to attack.

Those provinces wouldn't happen to have high misfortune, would they? Alternatively, I believe there's a bug in the current version which causes some thrones (life? growth?) to spam a ton of indep attacks on some provinces. They are nature themed though, so if you're getting stomped by barbarians or somesuch it's not the bug's fault.

Nope, no misfortune. No luck either, though.

While we're speaking of misfortunes...

It appears that everything in shirtless country seem oddly prone to suddenly and violently burning to the ground.

-From the Marvenian Times-
Two amazonian mages were found outside the charred remains of their lab after their experiment on the growth of plants when exposed to special water went awry. According to the interns that survived, the potted plant being experimented upon was given the special water, whereupon it immediately burst into flames that engulfed the entire lab.

The researchers were found to have been wearing fireproof shirts. The local constable have accused said shirts of starting the fire, and they are currently in jail, awaiting trial.

The researchers themselves are currently lodging at a local temple.

Shit. Can I get a... 12h extension? I just realized that I won't be able to get the turn in on time tomorrow. Sorry about that...

Am I the only one really worried about Berytos ?
I mean, he has the alrgest empire, with 2 thrones in it and a third in an undefended surrounded province near his capital.
Moreover, there is Mictlan's throne just at his border, and the old Abysian one is curently hold by independants, near his borders too.

You have no spies in Ur lands? I'm not sure if this land isn't larger and is growing larger as more is taken from Abysia.

But right...you're plotting against me because you attacked me twice and are near thrones yourself.
I have not enough high priests (only my hero) and my prophet has died of disease...and if I remember right...YOU had released cold winter hazard on my home land, right?

(we can do these "discussions" in RP-mode too if you want ;) )

Tompliss: I thought they were going to win a while ago but I had overestimated how many thrones they had taken. Plus, it's still necessary to actually claim them all (I think you can only use your prophet or your pretender?).



In good news, I, and Abysia in general, are still alive, contrary to our earlier expectations. At one point there were two armies threatening the capital simultaneously, one from Ur and one from Mictlan, but the one from Ur "strategically redeployed," and then we crushed the one from Mictlan. We can only say that faith manages.

In more dire news, the Flame Cult has declared that a thorough investigation has revealed that shamans from Ur are behind the recent earthquakes which have destroyed two temples and killed over a thousand Abysians. The Flame Cult would like to ask everyone to take a moment to remember those innocent civilians, and priests.

and Level 3 priest but these are no standard (in my world) ;)

I'm not sure what Ur is doing but there are very much troops in their north fortresses.



The young woman opens her eyes again after a long meditiation and speaks in her soft but somewhat strong voice:
"It looks like the naked men can't withstand our power and will surrender soon. We stand at their doorstep as they were at our some time ago but we don't think they can do something against it."
She looks to the old man:
"You know that you're next right? We can't take enough thrones right now to show you all our right to rule so we will show you how empires will be smashed to the ground if they are arrogant, aggressive and weak with reasons. If someone wants a fish pot then we can serve you some in the next months and years...there are several swimming in the dirty ponds. You know we are good sailors and have expert fishermen as loyal residents right?"

Researching fire resistance, mostly. Nothing too sneaky about that.

good choice with all these relative hot races.

but you should build up better scouts. from time to time they are caught in my land and I have to kill them.

(My previous post was totally OOC because it was already past midnight and I wanted reaction from people living acress the world during the night :p )

Berytos, I'm not plotting against you (for now), just stating the obvious : you have access to the most thrones.
You may not be able to recruit high priests, but you can summon them, and get a new prophet 6 months after the previous one died (which will be soon, I expect, if my winter caused his disease).
And there are teleportation spells for your pretender, too, so even without summons, you could claim 3 thrones in a single turn. You have one and need a total of 4, so I will try and make sure that thrones provinces are defended, even if not by myself.
