Well, the longer they stay mostly dead, the longer the other gubbins have to work their miracles.

Buying Nature Gems from all, for Water // Earth.

Bonus: 25 Nature gems gets you 26 of your choice.


I expect to recast my global soon anyway...


T'chi's Capital is under Siege by undead, but the AI has all the troops it would need to move them away from it, even when not using magic/gems/summons...

(familiar silence)

Dear august lords, please take a moment to appreciate a few words of wisdom by Peacenik, the Benevolent.

(silence for effect)
(insolent yawn in the audience)

GREETINGS THINGS. I ATTEND THIS MEETING OF THE RULERS OF THE WORLD TO DISCUSS INTERNATIONAL SECURITY. THE INVESTIGATIONS OF ARCOSCEPHALE SPECIALISTS IN ERMOR HAVE PROVEN ALMOST CONCLUSIVELY WHAT WE SUSPECTED. WE ARE NOW 97% CERTAIN THAT MOST IF NOT ALL OF ERMOR'S RULING CLASS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH UNDEAD.

WE ALL KNOW UNDEAD ARE WRONG AND TASTE BAD. HENCEFORTH WE NEED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE DECISION IN A COLLECTIVE FASHION. WE ISSUE A CALL TO ALL NATIONS TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM ALL WARS UNRELATED TO MULTILATERAL ACTION AGAINST ERMOR AND TO FOCUS PEACEMAKING EFFORTS ON THIS EXPANDING EMPIRE OF DESTRUCTION AND ILLNESS-SPREADING.

WE BELIEVE THE OPERATION SHOULD BE CALLED "EPIC INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY-SANCTIONED ENHANCED INVESTIGATIVE CRUSADE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ERMOR".

WE ACCEPT DONATIONS IN MATERIAL, GOLD AND ASTRAL GEMS TO FUND OUR WAR EFFORT. SUCH DONATIONS WILL NOT STAY UNREWARDED AS THEY WILL HELP PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR CITIZENS.

(new short silence for effect)

So has spoken Peacenik, the Flowering Thought. Signing off, Hero Joe!

(Hero Joe scrutinizes the audience for a few seconds, then shakes his head sadly and withdraws.)

I would like to mention, that if anyone else is planning to go AI, I am available as replacement (everyone knows I make my turns in a quick fashion, especially if they are with a nation that is shrinking due to being in a losing position, so this should cause no delays.)

[E. Albright]

See, this is what happens when diplomacy fails. It hasn't even been a month since Peacenik tried to convince Ermor that they should accept a peace offer so Arco could bypass Ermor (and TC's remaining armies) to eat TC's still-living-and-thus-more-to-Arconian-tastes corpse in comfort and security.

*sigh* You kids today, with your pulses and short attention spans...

What? Nah. They saw what they're up against and just buggered off.

Later: Ulm?

Probably going to be busy trying to field test how many "undead" can be broken with one of these black steel halberds.

But really, I do suspect I'll be busy for a while fighting ermor, on the other hand if you suddenly see all the thin calcium golems start running running east then that would indicate that I'm winning.

Beware, the 0 pop provinces kinda make you starve hard.

Beware, the 0 pop provinces kinda make you starve hard.

Thankfully the province that borders the start of ermor's fortress complex has 1430 people there that are very eager to stop their lands from dying. I should be free to rotate out the starving troops while the siege of the fortress is underway. I'll come up with a plan on how to continue deeper into the complex once I take the first fort, which I suspect ermor will start throwing death gems at my forces to defend it and continue to try to encourage my neighbors into attacking me. This will also give me a decent reason to move the wounded soldiers back to guard the homelands while rotating in black knights.

Hint: trade with e.g. Oceania for bags of wine/cauldrons of broth = problem solved.

Doublepost to highlight a great deal:
12 fire 1:1 gems for literally anything! Even slaves (but at a more reasonable rate, say 1:2).
edit: And it's all gone already!

Still interested in renting those water boosters!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hm...I think Ermor wants to defend the fort.

[ThtblovesDF]

Emror just took T'chis capital, but the army is surrounded on all sites [tm] as is there nation.

That double buff seems to give the nation itself blood vengance ; )

[E. Albright]

I have to say, the AI's clever decision to deploy its pretender on patrol duty with just capitol PD more or less made that possible. Well, it also helped that formerly-sentient TC's minor border dispute with Marignon was turned into a full-blown invasion while ignoring the raiding army by its capitol (which only became conquerors opportunistically, as their intent had been to raid a swathe through TC to disrupt and delay TC's slow but steady invasion of Ermor).

One thing that everyone involved should be clear on is that going after Ermor will serve as a messy and dangerous distraction. Setting aside what a nasty little mustelid I tend to be when cornered, in the combined area formerly covered by overlapped TC (now carved up by three nations, with a fourth presumably swimming its way inward) and Ermor, there are two thrones. Two. Whole. Thrones. And both are on the borders. I may well become a pankreatormaker by virtue of acting as a time-and-resource sink for those who otherwise would be contenders but had the misfortune of bordering me and succumbing to peer pressure...

On an unrelated note, my internet is very spotty. It took 30m to send my turn last night, and if I may dangerously tip my hand, that was a 155kb .2h... It seems better right now, but problems may return...
