[RulerOfNothing]

Invest 21 points into VI
Invest 21 points into VII
Attack VIII with 54 points

[TankKit]

With all the big players allying against the smaller players, we're pretty much boned. It feels like you only have a chance in this game if you're one of the first people to apply, since there seems to come a point where you begin to snowball out of control. Maybe this game would be better if it had a limited number of players that started all at the same time? Ah well, we'll see what happens. This is fun either way.
90% Attack LVII again. For the glory of Adreksvalred!

Maybe this game would be better if it had a limited number of players that started all at the same time?

Probably, yes. I guess I'll be smarter next time.

[evictedSaint]

Attack XLI with 26
Attack XXV with 27

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Send 40 troops each to attack LXXVII and LXXXII, than form the duchy of LXands.

[Jerick]

Attack XII with 21 points, Attack III with 19 points
Yeah the snowballing is a bit of an issue with this game. Actions and points are the resources in this game but actions are more valuable the earlier they are used so late joiners and anyone who gets screwed by bad rolls early on will always be at a disadvantage. If you want to have late joiners in future games here's what I'd do (it's not viable to implement it in this game now though); Give late joiners bonus points when they join based on how many turns it has been since the game started. If they join on the second turn they get five bonus points, the third turn ten, the fourth twenty. I'd also have it cap and stop increasing after a point.

I suspect after the first minor nation falls, all the other nations will surrender and become tributaries to their larger neighbors, causing the mega alliance between the bigger ones to crumble.

[TankKit]

Mhm. Even I, the guy who made the minor alliance for the most part, am thinking of just allying with someone else. How about us minor nations all join with one guy though, so we all still win together, even if not as directly as would be hoped?

[a1s]

Just waiting for The_Two_Eternities and KitRougard now.

[a1s]

I guess they aren't going to post. Turn today.

[KitRougard]

NOPE NOT DEAD
Split offensive on both the areas of that last island - That's like, 18 troops to each half of that island

[a1s]

King RulerOfNothing invests in heavily in infrastructure, peasants adore their new interstate-12 road. They also attack VII, another flawless victory. 10 points of loot are taken as spoils.

King The_Two_Eternities could not be reached for comment.

King MonkeyMarkMario attacks LXXVII, crushing them and LXXXII, crushing them too, but taking 2 damage in the process. 11 total loot is aken as spoils. They also form the Duchy of LXands.

Duke Jerick Attacks XII with 21 points, losing 4 and destroying the opposition and III with 19 points, losing 1 and killing all defenders. Te counties turned out too be rather poor though, so  he only collects 7 loot.

The Masked Tribes sail out to take over the X/XXI island. The old divisions that have prevented the island from uniting soon become apparent: the frozen wastes of X breed strong warriors, who manage to destroy 4 masked warriors, while losing 6. The decadent south Xxians surrender without inflicting any losses on the enemy. 7 loot is taken as spoils.

Duke EvictedSaint Attack XLI with 26 troops and XXV with 27, and take both without a loss. 13 total loot is taken as spoils. 

Duke TankKit continues the disastrous offensive, this time losing only 5 troops and taking 2 of the enemy's with them. So... progress?

Ah screw it, I'm giving my land to EvictedSaint. I'm not having fun and I can't possibly ever win or really affect anything at this point, so I'd rather help any ally win instead. In general I'm beginning to see the flaw with this game: It's too luck based. There's no strategy, no real way of affecting how you win except rolling a dice. While it's always nice to have some element of randomization in a game, this is just too much. You can give bonuses to how you fight but, again, it requires luck to get to the point where you can afford that. Even if everyone started at the same time the game would quickly be decided simply by whoever was the luckiest and is able to snowball out of control.

In conclusion, the game's fun but it bothers me how little you can affect battles. So yeah, I'm giving everything to EvictedSaint.

[evictedSaint]

Damn dude, after reading that report I was gonna donate a couple dozen troops to help kick-start your offensive and get the ball rolling.  But I understand if you're not having fun, and I promise to treat your people with the respect they deserve.

Hey a1s, do I get TankKit's remaining 16 points?

Rename "Duchy of Adreksvalred" to "Duchy of Adult Content".
With 2 Duchies (Lewd and Adult Content) create the "Kingdom of NSFW". (20 points).
Attack VL with my remaining troops.


Also, doesn't RulerofNothing win a Tech Victory, since he has >50 points income and more than twice anyone else?

Winning:
tech victory is now based on income: 50 min income at least double second place and after turn 10;

[Jerick]

Create a second Duchy and the Kingdom of Redsvale for 20 points.
(Invest 21 points into XI)
