It is nice to have a successful first war for once. And no pileups! I should probably knock wood before I jinx myself thoroughly, I hear black forest has excellent lumber.

I'm growing, certainly. But to say "blobbing"? Why I'd never. Based on my scouting, there's about four big guys. Three less so. Everyone has a potential to grow at the expense of one neighbour or another.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure if it's the correct spell, but the spell description for Vengeance of the Dead seems to fit. It's S3D1 at Thaumaturgy-4. Range 5 provinces.

At least some spells can happen as events too, meaning it's possible nobody is responsible. I don't know if VotD is one of those though. Or indeed that the spell is VotD in the first place.

Since the situation seems to be that Antur suffered a random attack against a single commander with no armies clashing or obvious aggressor, I think it's safe to assume that the attack was due to a random event. Gems are expensive, and wasting them harassing a nation you have no intention of invading immediately strikes me as rather silly.

Then again, if someone has just moved a massive army onto your borders without word or explanation, I'd start worrying.

I'm not sure if it's the correct spell, but the spell description for Vengeance of the Dead seems to fit. It's S3D1 at Thaumaturgy-4. Range 5 provinces.

Which is, ironically enough, a spell that all of Agartha's neighbours can cast. Acro just has to give a Death Sibyl a Crystal Coin, while Utgard's Nornas just need the Astral random. Man and Ulm both need to empower mages to cast the spell and throw some Astral boosters on them. And T'ien Ch'i can cast it too... After they hit Const 6, to forge the Starshine Skullcap and Crystal Coin they need to give to a Astral random Ancestor mage.

...

When I said that all of Agartha's neighbours can cast the spell, I did not mean easily or cheaply. Just that it's possible though highly unlikely.

Yeah, seem bit costly for randomly cursing my folks with no armies around. Maybe i would get some more information if it wasn't resisted. Or it's time to start getting paranoid thought about glamoured hordes on the other side of the border.

Was just rather weird seeing an remote attack without any accompanying event.

well then I should be worried...there are ~300 enemy units at my border, Agartha. Do you have a good explanation?

Which made him effectively useless as a raider. It's not a huge loss at this stage, but I'd be lying if I claimed I'm not bummed by it. At least he can still cast rituals and forge stuff. That's assuming I get anything worthwhile before he's eaten by god damn HORRORS though.

I reckon HopFlash has been religiously recruiting scouts and seeding the world with them.

no...not so many...but he was at the right time and location to see this fight.

but I'm making a little colored map every turn to see how big everyone is...looks interesting (as a movie) but not very accurate...I think Eyes of God could be useful but global rituals are often focus of enemy aggression :/

Not Eyes of God from my experience.
Unless you call burning your eyes out and claming it for himself agression.
