World in Crisis - Started

[Fakeymcfake]

Eh, might take me a couple turns to get the slaves together, I've been throwing all my slaves into raising an army to attack Hinnom. Oh, Hunt11, I'm going to attack you in three turns, heads up!

[vfb]

R'lyeh witnessed a great battle in Witch Hills, where a mere smattering of Tien Chi mages held out against Hinnom. A great Grigori was seen staggering confused around the battlefield. Lay off the bottle, Ezekiel! There's work to be done.

And much strangeness: The Master with the Iron Crutch was in the battle, marked as having cast a global. He was wielding many astral boosters, but is feebleminded, so it is impossible to tell what paths he may once have had. The Master was slain by the drunken Ezekiel, but the Arcane Nexus still remains.

Though the Master is immortal and was slain in his own dominion, R'lyeh still holds the Tien Chi capitol, so he should be dead permanently. But the Arcane Nexus is still up.

Very mysterious!

What! No more Armageddon!?
Blah, I started to enjoy this game being totaly screwed up.

On another matter, The Immortal Empire Of Sauromatia had been attacked by Neifel Giants last month. The temperature is falling considerably all over our Empire and there for we must act. How are we supposed to use the blood of innocents if it is frozen? This act of hostility clearly makes our former agreements null and void!
Sauromatia is on the move.

We anticipated this. Though the coming of the Illwinter was most directed at unseating Agartha to help our myriad friends, we knew that it was only a matter of time before Sauromatia saw fit to remove themselves from that group.

We welcome the coming war, and we pity the poor misguided amazons who will die in the coming months. The Illwinter has come, weep for your children.

[Fakeymcfake]

Woo, complete chaos ensues!

In other news, is everyone still good with the 48 hours hosting? Personally I'm still good with it for now, but if the upcoming war with Hinnom gets really involved I might need extra time. I'm just wondering what everyone else thought on the matter.

[vfb]

Since R'lyeh can't afford to hire anything any more, I'm still fine with 48hrs.

But I've got no objections to increasing the timer if someone else wants to.

[Executor]

I let you know after the initial attack on Neifel.

[Quitti]

Heh, I'm just hanging along. That battle in witch hills showed the awesome power of simple w1/a1 mages again (thanks to CBM to making a worthless spell very much worthwhile). Even the awesome Grigori are not immune to confusion

On another note, that Master with iron crutch (whatever) was my wisher/AN caster, and, well, he died.
AN Caster dead -> check
Capitol under enemy control -> check
AN Caster immortal, no place to raise -> check
Arcane Nexus down -> wait, what, I still have it? Well, it's free pearls. Too bad I don't have much to use them to

[JimMorrison]

You could mail them to Niefelheim, whom your Armageddons have grievously wounded, but who never did a thing to you. <3

And I think this is a known bug, where Immortal units who cannot come back due to occupied capital don't trigger the Global Effect check on their removal from the game, since they didn't actually die at their time of death, or at their point of removal from the game.

You may want to post it anyways, as if it's not the same bug, it's related. Llama can furnish the files for both turns to Illwinter as well, so they can see what actually happened.

The threat of Astral Corruption, combined with the rapid takeover of Niefelheim by Sauromatia, is too great a menace to be ignored.

R'lyeh declares war on the cannibal manflayers!
