You'll never be as good at lubbering land as us.

Seems to be everyone wants a piece of She from Jotunheim at the moment.

Now that was an epic battle. The sky was filled with fire and steel, and the very corpses of those slain under Jotunheim's unjust rule did rise up against their oppressors! Our imperial army was outnumbered two to one, but righteousness was on our side and we did prevail!

Perhaps She will think twice before relying on men that are as steadfast as her treaties.

The Lord of Shinuyama has witnessed the atrocities of the Jotumheim giants against our distant kin, the people of TC. No longer could we remain as bystanders to such actions which insult our sense of honour.

After reviewing the matter with the Council of War, the forces of Shinuyama have liberated the south western provinces of the Jots and will continue to make war until She can be brought to peace with her neighbors and guarantee the sovereignty of TC.

The Lord of Shinuyama is happy to receive peace envoys from the Jots for negotiations, should they be serious about meeting our demands.

Good thing the majority of my losses were simple province defenders and mercenaries, eh? And that your armies were reduced to many corpses?

You shall be mopped up soon enough.

I must say, those Jotun have the Dark One's own luck when it comes to retreating.

Or maybe it's just from all the practice they've had. Hmm.

Through pure chance, some religious pilgrims from the Holy Land of Marignon witnessed the battle between T'ien C'hi and Jotunheim in the Hexwoods, in this month just passed.

A few observations from Friar Anfar follow:
"The heathens from Jotunheim had an over preponderance of archers, with an insufficient number of melee troops to cover their front line. What melee troops they did have were mostly second rate giants, in insufficient numbers.

The heretics from T'ien C'hi, in contrast, had a more balanced army with large numbers of footmen covering off the front, and some elite cavalry units on their right flank, backed by archers.

In the battle proper, the arrows from the heathens (Jotunheim) bounced harmlessly off the wall shields of the heretics (T'ien C'hi). In contrast, the heretics (TC) were able to drive the giants frontline fighters into retreat through a combination of massed arrow fire and stabbing at their oversized feet with spears,

Once the heathenish giant foot soliders (J) fled the field, the heretics cavalry and footmen (TC) closed with the archers in the rear and rapidly put them to flight.

Of note, the heathen's prophet was at the battle, but chose to flee rather than die honouring the good name of his false god. Such cowardice makes me sick!

After the battle, I celebrated the horrible death of so many of the ungodly from both sides (curse them!) with a good meal and a small witch burning. Glory to the Great Lord Torquemada the Merciful!!"

Between unfortunate losses and three enemies, She shall now retreat into the darkness; She shall leave behind a false self to die in her place, while the real She is off rebuilding her power. This is not the last of She. She shall return.

And when She does...

You will all pay!

(Going AI because there's not much else I can do at this point; one lucky nation shall receive my vast stores of gold and gems.)

As a postmortum account:

Ever since the start of the game when She found herself so close to so many nations, She knew She would have to go to war with one of them; it just so happened that Bandar Log was not only the easiest target, but She would receive 1500 gold from T'ien Ch'i for the act! That and a castle, of course. But She got greedy. She proceeded to attack T'ien Ch'i as well after the apes were crushed; why not have 1500 gold and a castle? Not to mention even another castle! This would not have been so bad if She had not had to deal with the sea dwellers encroaching on her land, not that she could do much about it, and a preparing for a possible war against Caelum. She worked 'with' Shinuyama against Caelum, but She knew, way in the back of her mind, that She would be betrayed. She didn't act against Shinuyama sooner on the off chance he was actually telling the truth; it's not like with her full funds going to war against T'ien Ch'i that she could pay for a first strike on a second front. T'ien Ch'i was smart in that it diverted most of its attention to research and mercenaries as soon as the war started; not only did this combination give it a surprising edge in battle, but will likely allow T'ien Ch'i to survive any double crosses from Caelum or Shinuyama.

Ultimately, She feels like She would have been in a better position, if only She had gone to war with Caelum instead of T'ien Ch'i, because even though they were more powerful, there likely would not have been as many diplomatic land mines. This is excluding, of course, the chance of T'ien Ch'i double crossing her. Which was entirely likely, considering T'ien Ch'i hadn't signed a NAP with us 'Jots' yet.

From a military perspective, Marignon is right. She had too many archers. Though this helped in battle against the masses of monkeys, it quickly fell flat on its face against the shield bearing T'ien Ch'i.

Oh well, it was a fun run.

Good game SirMu, it was fun playing with you (and She, of course!). Once you get dog piled by a few people, including the strongest nation on the board (Caelum), that's pretty much it from what I can tell. And after seeing events in 84 and 93 this turn, I think going AI is a fair call at this point as its basically all over.

And thanks for telling us about the deal with TC etc, its always fun to know more about what actually happened

Hope to you see again next game!
