[Shootandrun]

Hello again, everyone.

Changing circumstances IRL - which I do not want to get into - mean I am going to wind down my involvement with Dominions. I do not want to just dump an AI nation on your borders without forewarning, but I plan to go AI in roughly three turns. In the meantime, I am cancelling all my diplomatic pacts and formally inviting you to attack me. In order to minimize how much of an unfair advantage this gives to certain players, I will try and defend myself some, though I really don't plan to spend much time on my turns.

I'm also going to check this forum and my PMs less and less often.

If anyone wants some or part of my stuff (items, gems, etc.), send me in-game messages and make your case; but I am planning to mostly avoid doing a death basket, again, because I don't want to upset the game state too much.

He put me in an awkward spot by treating the matter like that, but the truth is said circumstances derive off something else online, and affect me as well, hence my stale turn.

On which note I apologize, but also find myself unable to continue the game, though I will try to look for a substitute first, if you all mean to play to the end.

Hmm, opinions on playing on at this point, Duuvian, E. Albright, a1s? Formoria is by my reckoning best positioned to win. Not sure the value in continuing if there's no sub found.

[E. Albright]

If we're looking at multiple subs to continue, especially if one of them is a frontrunner, I'm a bit reluctant to keeping going. It'd be absolute chaos diplomatically, and the experience/competence of the subs could radically shift the balance of power. However, I'm not really in a position to realistically win unless there's a succession of dogpiles that weaken successive frontrunners, so I kinda feel like landlubbers' opinions matter more than mine.

That said, I vote to call it.

[EuchreJack]

Formoria wins by default, the best kind of win!

This message has served its purpose.

Oh, my lord. What has transpired here (again)?

Azthor, my dude. I have to say this. You have the mechanics figured out down pat, but you gotta work on the social aspect of the game.

Now, I'mma gonna put the turn on hold with a hefty extension while you guys figure out whether you want to continue.

[MCreeper]

Oh, my lord. What has transpired here (again)?

Player has dropped out of the game because you are dick!
Now you know what is wrong with communication!
Although, the rest of the players in this game were, ucnharacteristically, also dicks. "Everyone went batshit insane at once" ucnharacteristically.

It appears we are done unless some substitutes were found. Here are some screenshots. I didn't take many, mostly when someone wanted information on how a thug was set up or some such.

Spoiler: I used Wind Ride ritual to lift this Dai Oni away from it's army and almost kill it (click to show/hide)

I had an Ettin mercenary armed with a Holy Scourge I should have sent in to attack sooner before the Dai Oni could escape.

Spoiler: Adventurer random event that spawned where the previous turn I used a summon assassin unit spell (click to show/hide)

This Adventurer lasted less than a full turn.

Spoiler: Another Dai-Oni (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The map currently visible to me (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: My province graph (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Claimed Thrones graph (click to show/hide)

I was mostly silent after Kailasa and I mutually destroyed our starting armies very early on in what on my end was a failure in scouting. That paid off as I lost my army two more times against Yomi. Somehow my mages mostly survived the latter two wipeouts; probably the good early buffs that air mages can use. If we are wrapping up I'll do a summary of some sort from what I saw.

Enh, I achieved my personal goals for the game. Admittedly, my goals were rather modestly "Spawn lots of polyps. Like, SO many polyps." I just wish they were more useful once spawned, but a great-grandmother's foremost concern will always be to surrounded a big, happy, supportive family.

Spoiler: So many polyps: a far-from-exhaustive list (click to show/hide)

[Azthor]

I did not get any serious offer from someone willing to sub Fomoria, but I am doing somewhat better and think I might be able to continue by the time the current turn expires, if most of you want to.

That said, attacking Agartha will still be particularly (emotionally) draining on me, and I would rather call the game here, if at all possible.

[Karlito]

I think we'll call it then

Congratulations, EJ!

I will try and share Fomoria's funny looking graphics soon.
