I'm a persona...I can't die. But whatever, I'm going to go and play with this guy's neurons.

"Hey get back .... Ah never-mind where was that goblin I was burning ?"

[dragnar]

((Well, I need to head off to bed, so no update til tomorrow. But since it probably wasn't clear: You can issue commands to all monsters/minions once per turn. ie: you can have the minions start buildings something, as well as having the dragon move to attack something.))

[micelus]

Dragon, go off and raid that north-west town.

[Pandarsenic]

Pump minions, build barracks, etc.

Make "peaceful" contact with the village to the south. Allow them to choose between worshiping us and fire.

As a test, you have your dragon fly to the village to the south-west(the more northern one is out of it's reach in one turn), attempting to have it convert them to your service. The villagers react about as could be expected though, and lock themselves in their homes as soon as the dragon is in sight. It pokes curiously at a few of the flimsy houses, but waits for your command as to what to do with the cowards. More productively, your minions get to work building a barracks, and should be done next turn.

The figure across the table watches silently, nodding as you make your first move in this game. "Not a bad start, but then, failing this early would be difficult. Before I take my turn, let me ask you: What do you think the goal of this game is?"

"I believe the goal of this game is to unite the world in which we move these pieces under our flag. Our actions will effect a world we either lived in, or will soon visit. Am I wrong in this assumption?"

[Pandarsenic]

"World peace, of course. 'Monster' in an epithet slung by those with a poor command of language, matched only by their poor understanding of the world around them and the creatures in it. There is no inherent malice in the actions of animals, as many delude themselves into thinking. We will form a sovereign nation, be recognized as a regional power, and propose the form of a League of Nations, so that all people of all nations can live in peace and harmony with one another."

[micelus]

"I agree with Mr White here."

[Sinpwn]

"The true goal of this game is entertainment, as all games are. So it seems that the most entertaining thing is uniting the world, as it may be."

[dragnar]

"Perhaps you are correct. Perhaps not. Time shall tell..."
The figure taps a point on the map, just south of your dragon, and a new piece appears to confront it. You cannot see it's stats, unlike the others, but it doesn't look too threatening. A simple farmer, wielding a pitchfork. The farmer moves to occupy the same tile as the town, before the figure leans back to return control to you for the next turn.

[micelus]

It's a hero unit....You know those teenage farmers/thiefs/whatever that become legends by saving their hometown? We have to kill him...or corrupt him...

[Pandarsenic]

Can we, say, bring them a peace-offering of a dead non-domesticated animal?

[Hubris Incalculable]

Hsss. Our friend in green isss right, for once in hisss life. We ssshall corrupt thisss young being. We ssshal ssspeak through our ssscaly thrall in the village. We ssshall tell him of the glory that awaitsss if he choossse to follow usss. We ssshall tempt him with richesss, and fame, and power, and when he fallsss to usss, we ssshall dessstroy him.
