Llama is down at the moment. Make sure your turns are in once it comes back online. Usually the server automatically delays hosting each time something like this happens, so there should be plenty of time for everybody to check if everything is in order.


In other news: Bandar Log is selling fabulous artefacts from our treasure trove:
- 1 piece of Bogus' Greenstone Armour - wonderful protection for the unprotected, and a unique fashion statement
- 1 piece of Bogus' 'Precious' - the best ring to give to your warrior prince/princess fiancée

Let your thugs know you care for them as individuals by customising them with these one-of-a-kind trinkets!

10 gems each! Either N, W, or S. What a bargain!

[ThtblovesDF]

T'ien Chi'i is being burned down by Emror at the moment and C'tis is letting them ; )

*** DRUMS ***

(hoorahs in the background)
(Hero Joe steps forward, in full military regalia and covered with ghost goo.)

Hero Joe reporting to the free nations, after an assassination attempt (he glares heroically in the general direction of Ermor). The terrorism is in full swing! Now, Peacenik, The One Without Digestive Problems, is going to address you good folks.
(Hero Joe signals.)

*** DRUMS ***
(The Heart Company choir starts a victory song a capella...)
- Sshh! Not now, you dimwits!
(Hero Joe signals frantically. A magical scrying screen appears and displays a close-up of a Spectator covered with the blood of innocent Arcoscephalian villagers. The undead mage is busy directing his minions to kill cows and poison wells.)

SUPPORTERS! FRIENDS! VAGUE ACQUAINTANCES! I AM GOING TO UNVEIL THE MOST TERRIFYING WEAPON THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. ARCOSCEPHALE HAS ACQUIRED MIND HUNT TACTICAL STRIKE CAPABILITY. WE ARE GOING TO BROADCAST IT LIVE FOR THE WORLD TO WITNESS THE FURY OF OUR DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS! LOOK AT THIS TERRORIST, WHICH WE BELIEVE WAS TASKED WITH HIS NEFARIOUS PURPOSE IN A MOUNTAINOUS TRAINING CAMP.

MIND HUNT OFFICERS, PROCEED TO THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL KILLING OF THIS ATTACKER!

(ominous silence)

(On screen, the Spectator looks around while longdead are rampaging in a farm. Suddenly, a couple of cows drop dead on their own, surrounded by almost invisible tendrils of mindslaying power.)
(More undead violence on hapless animals.)
(Hero Joe hurriedly signals for the scrying screen to switch to another channel. The screen displays a battle between a few Ermorian tribesmen and undead and Arcoscephalian hoplites. Mystics are casting evocations that are killing the Arcoscephalian infantry. Hero Joe signals some more for the scrying screen to close.)

(The Heart Company choir starts a victory song a capella...)

HERO JOE! GATHER ALL THE GENERALS FOR A LEADERSHIP GUSTATIVE SESSION!

Sir, yes Sir!

(Peacenik leaves in frustration.)

Ladies and gentlemen, the session is adjourned. Let's stay in touch for further demonstrations of the awesome military power of Arcoscephale.

[Il Palazzo]

Damn, I must have miscalculated. Those walls were supposed to hold for another month :/

[ThtblovesDF]

A wet, scaly, hairy map is delivered for inspection.

It smells and is full of lies

Its a shity map, but it might be close to accurate in some areas.

In unreleated news, raise your hand if you have stacks of 900+ moving around or a functional double bless. If you didn't raise your hands, join the good cause and help to force emror into spreading its troops out.

[Marmaduke]

According to my scout network: Arcoscephale (me) extends a bit further East and does not own the mountain throne, Agartha has invaded more of Bandar Log, Oceania owns some more sea south of Ermor... and this is last turn, should I add (have yet to see turn results). The TC/Ermor country borders are in flux last time I checked.

It smells a lot and heavy like lies and like someone tried to paint underwater.

I like how you gave me your part of the lake, and all that sweet air between islands. You get a Markata Badge of Recognition (yes, it's just a stick).

[E. Albright]

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. Arco and the damp furries are both bigger than said furries are giving themselves credit for. And Ermor (with its 300 stacks that are at this stage in the game pretty much normal sized if you're not soggy) is a whole lot smaller and non-contiguous.

(As some may remember from past rounds, I'm very familiar with the benefits of self-reported cartography.)

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Just going to note that from my observations you are likely fully contiguous Mr. Ermor. Those sky provinces at the top of the world connect you lands and even if you don't hold them all the only other person who might have them right now it tien chi and so you will soon have them.

[E. Albright]

Two things:

First, those aren't sky provinces; they're ice caves. I don't fault you for thinking otherwise, though, as I though the same thing until turn 12 or 18 or this game in particular despite having the map for quite a while.

Second, your information is out of date. C'tis got tired of not getting to hang out with the cool kids and piously jumped on the anti-undead bandwagon this month; between them and TC there's no connection between the dead, cold heartland of Ermor and its remaining westernmost holdings - a large portion of which are now covered with pungent wet goat hair or sloughed-off rotten scales anyway.

Third, you seem to have entirely forgotten the other occupant of the ice caves in your above outline...

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

To be honest? I sent a spy through there many turns ago so yeah, not the most up to day.

[etgfrog]

Next turn is going to be the battle I was waiting for. 1200 undead vs 300 ulm troops. Ermor already sent a sacrificial commander to view what my spell scripting was.

Spoiler: the reason why ermor has to take this fight (click to show/hide)

I suppose ermor could choose not to bring out all the ghouls and it would be sigificantly less troops. Regardless, this will be a fight to watch and I'm honestly excited about it.

[ThtblovesDF]

Just incase anyone wants a siege upgrade, i have this useless spell called vermin-something that helps with siege.

Should be plenty useful against Ermor!

[Hatman]

Ermor can't starve, so vermin feast won't help there. I've used it once to some effect in round 420 to keep an army that was several turns starving before they stole a fort starving afterwards, but it kind of needs a perfect use case like that to do more for a siege than spending the gems summoning.
