Kailasa is swimming in artifacts. Them and Ulm are incredibly far ahead of us all. Us all.

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.

Looks like the north has figured it all out.
Down south things are getting less complicated, but it will take some time until we have resolved everything.
At least I can finally research again.
I just hope the game isn't over until either of us there can participate in the rest of the game.

I don't think the sailing mod did a lot, other than splitting up the continents.
Apparently you can use it to raid coastal provinces, but I've yet to try it.

Yeah. I don't think it was a good function, considering mages can't sail regardless.

And then there's all those nations with size 3+ units that can't fit on the ships for some reason.

Another version of the map just has "land" connections between the ports, and while I like the flavor of the sailing better, it did just segment the map. Not every port connects to every other port, and from a game play perspective it works a bit better.

A bit pooped out because of extra work, and I'll be gone from home, so I won't be able to send in any turns for the next 26~~ hours.

According to llamaserver you have submitted the current turn, we are just waiting on Arcp, then the new turn will have the 48 hour timer.

And the battles were extraordinary.  Mighty forces met and fought, beings from the deepest hells, sacred of the monkey gods, smiths and shaman, enslaved beings from foreign lands, dead that were not allowed to rest and even the plants and animals warred - backed by the very forces of nature themselves.  Giant being to tiny spirits.

447 beings fought, 435 died, and that was only one of the battles this month.....

Well fought, Ragnoff! And here I was feeling all cocksure.

I died a little inside when I looked at what targets your supercombatants chose compared to mine.
You: Kill the guy with the artifacts! Kill the mages!
Me: Kill those locusts! Wolves, kill the wolves! And the fairies, now go for the fairies!

Back to the drawing board! :D

Well the guy your assassin killed likely caused the battle to be as even as it was, imagine if 1/2 of everything that died came back as undead for me (so they would not flee) and if darkness hit so that they were as good at attack and defense as your sacreds after the darkvison...  I still think I wold have lost a lot to fleeing, but maybe not ALL my non SC mages...


I wonder how many artifacts ended up trampled and destroyed in that battle. 

Some of my best and brightest smiths, shaman and other mages died as they tried to flee, although i won that certainly hurt my combat capacity.

Would you mind if I posted the battle report after the next turn?  I think people would be interested to see how much is no longer in the game and I don't think it would give too much away at that point.....

Was a very interesting, we both certainly rolled the dice on that one. I was SOOOOO scared to open that turn.

Sub needed for TC in 4.07 if anyone is interested. I am another player in the game (Ulm)

Holds important territory and has good research, turtled much of the game. Not a dominate power but should be something there to play with. Sitting on the only lvl 3 throne, so important even if it would be hard to win.
