Ok, yeah, I'd love to have one more player and I'm ok with restarting.

The game will be "Age of Armok Again" The password is the same as before. I'll PM you, Wiles.

[PTTG??]

Ok, the game has begun.

[Kanil]

My turn's done. Not sure if what (if anything) we're posting here, but I thought I'd give everyone a heads up?

For the first turn, at least, it would be nice, simply to make sure that there's no problems with internet connections, versions, etc. Once everyone has a go, the game will do all the notification for us.

[Wiles]

Thanks for restarting

I''ve sent in my turn.

[Teneb]

I think it's my turn now? Time to check it out.

Turn done and uploaded.

[PTTG??]

So I've been taking notes and I decided to post them for the interested non-player. The following spoilers are not for other player consumption until after the game is completed.

Spoiler: The Diary of Time the Firewalker, Master of all Goblin Mages! Days 1-6 (click to show/hide)

BEWARE YE WHO READ THIS DAIRY DIARY!



Day the first:
My ascent to power is complete! Now I rule all of the settlement of Slotor. Next, the WORLD!



I immediately sent a scout to the north to track down a party of laborers driven north. Upon arriving, my scout discovered that they meant to travel to the enemy clan of Tumach. Clearly, I must first secure the wild clan to the north.

My scouts to the south report an expanse of ash and volcanic rock. Truly a lovely place; I will send settlers to make it ours soon.

What's this? My scouts report that a human named Teneb has settled to the north-east! Blast! We have no choice but to step carefully; from the first day we'll be immediate neighbors to musket-making humans!

I've sent him a message of peace and brotherhood which hopefully he will swallow. I need to be able to focus my forces on the factional goblins to the northwest.

I traveled to the south-eastern extent of my domain, just north of the river, to see if there are any threats in the region. As it seems safe enough, I'll head north again to gather my forces for a proper assault on Tumach. THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY FAILED TO ACCEPT MY LEADERSHIP.

For now, however, I'm going to summon up some wisps to keep my claw in the magic game.

Day the second:
My spell completed, I sent some wisps south to investigate my neighbors to the south-east. They immediately discovered a hideous elfling village! Some Alisha creature jabbered and gaped at me! The horrific figure is ineffable; I will await its first move before I commit to action. I ride north instead, to bring the fight to the scion clan.



Along the way, I receive news; Teneb has accepted my empty gesture; Good. More good news: a hero has joined my cause: the ork Dargal the Infamous, who claims to be a dreadnought inventor. Perhaps he's invented a larger-calibrate rock than those his oafish brothers normally use. No matter; he can ride a horse and swing a sword, so he'll be a fine general.

On the march, I meet up with my bug cavalry, and I prepare to summon a hell hound or two to reinforce our numbers. The Tumach clan will suuufffeeerrrr!!!!

Damn and blast! late reports from a wolf scout reveal a necromancer cult to the south, raving cat-folk in a town called- apparently- Meow, and that he has also met the person of Alisha and its horrifying visage. I only hope the Meowians will fall to my side.

Day the third:

I have finally closed with the Tumach Clan; By this time tomorrow, we'll have them crushed. More alarming, Alisha has remorselessly crushed the Meowians.

However, there is hope. I have made contact with a separatist group of high elves north of Alisha; perhaps, if I can survive their stench, I can ally with them against her.

The news of her movements close to us to the south is alarming. I must prepare to guard the southern reaches, although we are at least partially protected by a river.

Day the fourth:

My research with phantasmal warriors has borne fruit after only a day! Huzzah! It will take more time yet to put the spell into practice, of course... More importantly, It is time to ride into battle against the traitors of Tumach! I will pen the results of the battle shortly...

MUHAHAHAA! My warriors are peerless! We crushed them with no irreplaceable losses. Only a few unpromising apprentices. As much as it would please me to plunder or raze the traitors, my only option is to absorb the city to my empire now. There is no time for reconstruction, only barely enough to set up a true chain of command. Four days!? Pagh! in that time I could conjure and conquer the world with my bare hands!

Rather than wait here all afternoon, I will head north to clear some wildlife away from a useful mana node.

Hmm... more backbone in these critters, but not much. They ate a squadron of untouchables in the fight before we could put them down.

News from my scouts: Ugh... bald uppity humans! Their preachers insult me with their malicious insults. No matter; I have bigger problems right now. The High Elves were less disgusting!



A few more days, and I'll have them working for me too... unless Alisha goes cannibalistic. I mean, I'm cannibalistic, but that's because goblins understand that just because your neighbor's dead doesn't mean they aren't good protein. High elves are normally too sentimental. Anyway, enough fun out here hunting air elementals; time to turn back and go back to Tumach's Folly and start executing the traitors.

Oh, who am I kidding, that's fun too.

Day the fifth:

Well at least Tumacs make a nice breakfast. Let's see now, a message from Teneb... An alliance? 300 gold? Curious... what does he really want? Why not. A few bars of gold will go a long way to building up my armies against the ravenous High Elves of Alisha.



Today I will spend simply traveling south again. I must have a road built to speed travel, this is troublesome.

BLAST! I sent half of my apprentices, the stupid ork, and two divisions of goblin fighters to handle a mere clan of undead to the south. There should have been no trouble at all, but somehow the ork managed to get killed. Well I'm not going to bother trying to resurrect him. Bah, now I'll have to go deal with this myself.

Day the sixth:

BEHOLD! I have brought the planets into alignment! This was definitely due to my actions!

However, my powers are clearly limited by my ability to withstand the horrid appearance of these horrific high elves! Now this Allora being has made itself known and it is all I can do to keep from gagging. Where are those fine goblin women with their features so pleasingly asymmetrical, their hair nicely patched instead of this sickly even coat? These high elves don't even have proper scabs!



Also, I may have misjudged as to who is most likely to turn cannibalistic.

And now they're allied! Bah.

The good news is that I may be able to claim the fellowship of these neutral elves in the center. But what is this?

Apparently I am slightly good? SLIGHTLY GOOD? I AM A TOWERING PARAGON OF GOOD! AND I WILL DEVOUR THE BOWELS OF ANYONE WHO DISAGREES!

Now, I'm off to the east to trick these damn high elves into allying with me. Hopefully I can conjure up some proper warriors along the way.

>tfw voted for both unwandering\wandering monsters.

[PTTG??]

Spoiler: Day the Eighth (click to show/hide)

Apparently it's been eight days now. Huh. It just goes to show that Arithmancy is bunk.

Firstly, I must conjure my phantasmal warriors! HUTTA! SHOKA! LUMOS! KLATU! BWAHAHAA!

Ah, that was fun. Whipped them up and rode into battle against some random hobbits. Crushed them, of course. I made one of them explode! Took a bit of tiny skull shrapnel in my face, but you win some, you lose some.

TIM HAS LEVELED UP! ABILITY GET!
+5 HP
+1 DEF
+2 RANGED ST

Back to the fight!

Oh, a new fellow offers to join, annother ork... Urkan the Hacker. Hmm, claims to be "elite" and a "professional," and that he can spin a full circle and still strike a foe in the head. Sounds good to me.

My forces are still four or five days away from the rebels I need to kill for Beredan. Hm, what else? Ah, the Tumach city is almost ready to set to work properly. One more day.

Plenty of ground to cover yet today. More later.

[Kanil]

I haven't been taking notes, but I'd start now... except I can't figure out how to take a screenshot in this game. Print screen does nothing, and there's no screenshot listed in the options.

Also, I blew up a spy drone. This doesn't need to be spoilered, because literally everyone saw me do it.

[Teneb]

I think I missed a turn. Oh well.

[PTTG??]

I think I missed a turn. Oh well.

I'm not sure how; it doesn't even let you click next turn until you've given out orders.

You're welcome to, but by no means required. In my case I play in windowed mode, so print screen works fine.

By missing the deadline. My connection went down about 1 hour before that and came back a few minutes after.

[EuchreJack]

Time the Firewalker is my new favorite.  Thanks for the notes: I can't currently afford this game, but maybe once they settle down with the DLCs and create a proper bundle I'll pick it up.

[PTTG??]

Spoiler: Day the Ninth? (click to show/hide)

Well now, it should be simple to head south and cross the bridge into High Elf territory.



I SAID CROSS THE BRIDGE! THE BRIDGE! WE DON'T EVEN HAVE BOATS!
Somebody get me a bullhorn. *Waves arms frantically at phantasmal warriors.*
NO! DON'T CLIMB OVER THE MOUNTAINS YOU IDIOTS!

Well, my phantasmal warriors are crossing the mountains. I may have to spend some time figuring out boats. How long do we have?



Hmm... well, that is more than a week. Plenty of time to figure out how to make boats and sail them upriver to go kill their rebels.

Meanwhile, best to send orders to Thabscabulon or whatever it is. Douchetopia. In fact, I decree that shall be the name. Let's see, build a workshop, and a shrine, and of course I'll need a proper convectorium there to store mana... and a few other things...



There, that'll keep them busy for a month I guess.

Now, I heard some news that Teneb lost a scout thing to High Elf aggression. How's he feeling about that? Teneb?



Oh, good, good.

Well now, getting late, I better send a wisp south to investigate the path ahead.

Oh, it leads through Alisha's territory.

I'm overjoyed.

Spoiler: Day the Tenth (click to show/hide)

THRICE-DAMNED SCUM! BETRAYERS! THIEVES! I WILL PLUCK THEIR EYES FROM THEIR ROTTING SKULLS WITH RED-HOT TONGS AND BURN THEM TO ASHES! I WILL BUILD A HEARTH OF THEIR RIBS! I WILL BAKE PIES OF THEIR ENTRAILS ON FIRES KINDLED FROM THEIR BONES, AND ONLY AFTER THEY HAVE SAVORED THE TASTE WILL I LET THEM DIE!

Someone has already befriended the high elves of Beredan.

ARGH! I MUST KILL SOMETHING!

I'm going to go summon a dragon of some kind and stomp on some bandits.

...

Drat, now I've gotten myself hungry for Entrail Pie.

Spoiler: Day the Eleventh (click to show/hide)

Cats spotted today.



Look at them! They're adorable!



They're besieging my capital.... WITH FUZZINESS!

It's so heartwarming I need to go immolate someone. For now, though, I'll send the city guard to take care of it.

PAGH!



Turns out there's goblins with them. Well, might as well get some cat food while we're out.

Reports indicate the fight turned out just fine. Now then, back to my journey to find something to kill... Ah yes, the bandits in the north.



Do you have a moment to talk about your god? No? Well, how about you meet him in person?

Ah, I have so much fun starting fires inside of skulls. It's my silly little "thing," I know.

Anyway, After burning all the bandits to give them an idea of what their afterlife will be like, we found some captured goblins in here. Go figure. Well, soldiers is soldiers, so definitely going to let them join. And a radioactive bracelet.



I think I'll give that one to the ork.

Spoiler: Day the 12th (click to show/hide)

Little to report across the empire. I did conjure up a new friend, though. Here's a picture:



Almost as adorable as those kittens I had for breakfast.

So, time to research up a new spell... Let's see... boats, eh. Dread Omens? More like... dread... no-mans... What's this?



I think we have a winner!

Spoiler: The 13th Day (click to show/hide)

As we ride south, I review the recent occurrences.


Garbage, garbage garbage.

Well, cast that spell on the node (It's not so much a spell as it is dumping a bunch of gasoline onto a magical volcano).

Send the wisps around and, let's see here... should be arriving at the southern edge of our territory soon. Should face the necromancers down here in a jiffy.



Well.

I suppose I'll send her some notice of my plans. Worst-case scenario, she'll refuse my passage and we'll have a fight right here. Best-case, she attacks the necromancers ahead of me, gets killed and weakens them, and we come by and clean up afterwards.

And somewhere in the middle is her attacking and winning against the necromancers and me coming by and trouncing her while she's weakened.

Of it all, I suppose I stand a better-than-average chance of drinking from her skull this very evening.

The map, as it stands:

Spoiler: Day 14 (click to show/hide)

Huh. No response, although she rode south and east. To be honest, this is a surprise- I MEAN.

AH! JUST AS I FORESAW! WE RIDE SOUTH!

(Sounds of battle)

Huzzah! I found out how to light BONES on fire!

Turns out it's the same as everything else!

TIM HAS LEVELED UP!


ABILITY GET:
CHARGED ARMY [YOUR FRIENDS DO +1 DAMAGE WITH FRICKIN' LIGHTNING!]
ELECTRICITY RESIST [GET 20% OFF YOUR NEXT LIGHTNING BOLT!]

What else worth note: Well, my pet ork got a pet pig!


Time to head home. I heard there were some cats west of our town possibly worth recruiting before Alora gets around to slaughtering them.

Spoiler: Day 15 (click to show/hide)

Made contact with the cats.

They immediately declared war on me.

Let's consider this:

1: Settled in a volcanic wasteland.
2: Build farms on ground which is clearly chunks of obsidian with lava flowing just under the surface.
3: Declare war on your much larger neighbor after seeing your neighbors in Meow get slaughtered by an enemy nation.

Clearly these cats have astonishing decision-making skills.

Well, nothing for it. RIDE OUT! TONIGHT, WE DINE ON FRISKIES!



MORE MOUNTAINS!
Well, as my men prepare crampons for crossing the mountain, I will study our records from my ally.

What's this?



Time to send a runner to Teneb. Gotta tell him to get to kill off those necromancers. Gotta get 'em now before they grow into swarms of undead titans.
