You're lucky that snake can swim. If you want, there is another false prophet just a couple of provinces north of you in dubros, the two of you could hang out. (I set one of my commanders to patrol for i-don't-know-why, and I end up losing a harassing deepstrike because ashdod can't keep his land free of heretics!)
Now may I draw everyone's attention to the hall of fame, where you can see a few interesting developments: At the top, our beloved arena champion Mortius can be seen having dropped his scythe... and probably the gladius and trident as well, I'm not sure. He got to enjoy his twiceborn proc when he got rout-killed. Personally, I suggest he stick to the adept researching from now on. Below that, behold the glory of 3 new Phaeacian heroes! 6 of the top 10 slots belong to my glorious defense.
Oh, and heres a fun fact for you all: communion slaves can take afflictions from the over-fatigue damage. While I only lost 2 of them outright, of the ones that survived one of them managed to lose an eye and their voice while they were having their life force get milked for magical power and trying to out-regen the damage. Lets not try to think of the horrible atrocities we commit in the name of... Oh, right, LORD DEATH OF MURDER MOUNTAIN.
Anywho, good fight there Creeper, glad to finally have a nice proper battle. I was trying to force it myself with an army movement towards your stack: the 4 weavers that sailed in from elsewhere were supposed to just be communion reinforcements, not a rout-kill attempt.
Final, unrelated development: With Ladon being busy fighting undead romans, my people have tossed a golden apple into my treasury. It can be eaten to take 10 years off of your age. I don't have any particular need for it, so its going up for sale/auction, I figure some of you must have a mage or two that would benefit from it. Hit me up with your bids.
