Turns out I got really lucky with my starting position. Really lucky. I'll let you all work out why.

Oh boy.

As for me, I believe I have made a few mistakes so far.  Hopefully it all works out though.

Don't worry. I think most of us have made mistakes at the start. I have as well. Battle outcomes are so random anyway :P

Also for those willing to chat about the game. I'm on rizon with the nick Empty usually. Send me a message.

Same here, I've wasted 2 turns at this point.

You have a nice starting position, Mindmaker. That was surprising you didn't have more provinces, even with what I read about Jomon :/

Well, at least you didn't recruit dozens of short bowmen that won't deal damage agaisnt the common heavy armor of this Late Age...

Jomon have a bit of a slow start, which I could have prevented by getting mercenaries turn 1.
I decided to take a trickier, well guarded province (undead) first, which had no connections to other provinces.

So what happens when your prophet dies again?  You get to choose a new one in how many turns?

Because I just took a risk... hopefully it pays off.

6 turns before you can have a new prophet.

Oh, that's not bad.  Hopefully he doesn't die.

Sure

I've set it to 72 hours. I'll turn it back once you send in your turn.

Well, there is the "quickhost" feature that runs the turn as soon as everyone send their .2h file, so you don't have to worry about that : the turn will be processed as soon as the server can :)

Eh I think I can take my turn either way.
Even if that crappy laptop is nearly exploding.

I'm surrounded by indies of above average strength, and my army was just beaten.
Oh boy off to a good start.

Sorry for holding up the game every other turn. I work nights so by the time I get home I'm always the last to submit.

I wouldn't worry about it, everyone having different schedules etc is pretty much the point of playing it pbem.

Look like my scouting report didn't tell me about 2 dark vines. RIP army.
And I though it would be the "free province here"-kind of druids.

This is runing into the second worst game I've played till now.
