It looks like we're going to be stopped until llama gets back anyways due to server difficulties, may as well hold on. It would be a shame to lose you now, and the last thing the rest of us want is to make it any easier for Pan

Ok my power just came back on this morning. I'm not gonna be able to get to my turn until tomorrow though. As you can imagine, I've got a lot of **** to take care of after a week without power.

After so many months fighting to hold my enemies at bay, I must confess the pangea-marignon-Rlyeh coalition have finally breached my meager walls. Special praise go to Pangea and its murderous backdoors.
Anyway, three nations were way too much for me to handle.

Anyone who have interests in fighting any of them, especially the monstrous satyres, can contact me to benefit from the last gems I'll have before I die. I intend to fight till the end as I wouldn't leave this world like a coward, but here we are.
Death shall be sweet after so many struggles.

Must say there has certainly been some tough fighting going on in this game from the Pangaean PoV (Point of View). I noticed a few posts back DonC mentioned that the game seems slow since it's past turn 50, yet there has only been 1VP claimed, and there isn't even a clear leader of any sorts. Well that certainly isn't from lack of trying from the Sacred Groves

But despite Pangaea's questionable power, supposed aggression, undeniable treachery, countless fought battles, years of fighting (think it been since turn 20 v Ashdod, and turn 30 v Caelum), numerous spells, enchantments, summons etc. I think I've gained a total of 5 provinces to show for it all Go go unstoppable war machine!!!

Kheldorn, you are certainly one tough defender. Had a real job to get past our well known choke-point, and had to use an unexpected backdoor entrance to your lands to get anywhere against you (guess it's especially un-expected when you consider Pangaea the nation of sneaky stealth masters). I remember that fight a few turns back where you held out with just one mage remaining at the end. I watched the fight, seen my enraged troops close in on your last brave, exhausted, lone skelly spamming defender. Then, just when any of them could have delivered that fatal blow to seal a Pan victory, they all remembered that they'd left their cookers on, and all immediately rushed home to turn them off!!! Must confess to uttering a few curse words over that one I would say I've broken through your lines now, but I'm far from confident of anything against my winged foes with the great defence they've shown so far.

Now if I could only make any headway at all against my southern foes I'd be a happy satyr

With long-term hindsight, I think that all my wars against Caelum and Ashdod has achieved is to ensure that it won't be Caelum, Ashdod or Pangaea who win the game. A long standing deadlock in a war basically just seems to mean that the nations involved fall behind all the others. Oh well, live and learn I guess


Also, think we need to decide something over Ermor/anticipatient. He hasn't been seen on the forums for well over a week now, and I know he's staling in all the games he's still in. Not sure if it's a computer, Hurricane related, or A.N.Other problem that is keeping him away, but guess either way something needs to be done over a stale nation.

Yeah its true, I've no idea what has happened to anticipatient

In general, no nation has made massive games, except perhaps pythium lately? games, except perhaps pythium lately?

Heh, well Pythium's gains have come with some significant losses of resources (gems, thugs, SCs, afflictions on pretender...) but I'd say Abysia is on a trajectory to take the lead. As far as I know they are moving up the charts without fighting anyone so their gems are just accumulating - or are they also at war? Anyway, looks like they'll soon overtake the scholars of Pythium in research.

As for Anti, we could get a sub but frankly I think they are done with now. Their cap has been under siege and I don't see any significant fighting forces. As their conqueror, I'd be happy to let an independent reviewer check it out to see if there is something I am missing. In any case, getting a sub would be best, but I'd hate to delay the game a while if the end result is just the same...

Shall I (or whoever is admin) post for a Sub / or someone to review Anti's turn and see if it warrants turning him AI?

Aren't you the admin DC?

Edit: Just checked the scores on the llamaserver, and Ermor's stats seem similar to both Caelum's and Ashdod's (and I'd have a hard time believing those two positions are hopeless!) so think it's worth having a quick look for a sub (noticed most recent sub requests have been filled pretty quickly too, so we might get lucky). And DonC, if you know any experienced player(s) who can take a look at the Ermor positon as well to give some sort of general assessment of it, then that'd just be an added bonus

Nope, not me. Happy to do it if we don't have one though.
