The wind carries rumor of war between the superpowers, Ulm and Pytium. Yet scouts and score graphs report no activity. Not yet, anyway.

Back home, the wind carries - well, really yucky stuff. We find the campaign in C'Tis to be extremely unpleasant business. The rest of the world should be showering us with gifts, because we are saving each and every other nation from having to invade the swamps themselves. Though we have met with early success, the outcome is far from certain. People are getting sick. Reports of trenchfoot grow. It will only get worse as we attempt to move deeper into the fetid wasteland. The quartermaster reports that replacement goblins are on order, should arrive soon.

We've called out the fumagators and exterminators to clean up the lands to the south.

Lets say that tensions between the Peoples Republic of Ulm and the Empire of Pythium are continuing to grow, but that both nations are unwilling to break diplomatic agreements in a dishonourable way.
After all, the massive armies employed around Mictlan are not moving very quickly anyway.

That's kind of a scary zone right there. I'm glad that I'm not between you two.

It was almost certain to happen sooner or later though, as Mightypeon pointed out to me in a PM, large-scale, civ-ending wars are happening way sooner in this game than in some of the others we're both in. I guess naming a game "Pointy Sticks" means that players are more inclined to poke one another.

Regardless, one of the stated goals of this game was to give the Black Rose of Ulm custom faction a good test drive and I aim to see it driven like a rental car during Spring Break.

We have like half the players down after a bit mroe than 30 turns.
Things are indeed coming to a head quickly.

I think I know why Vanheim went AI, their pretender was a Freaklord with N1B2, which implies that they perhaps submitted the wrong god.

You are watching:

Ulm News, Fair and Heavy!

The World holds its breath as the Peoples Liberation army launches Operation Uranus! Pythiums Elite 6th army is cut off in Mictlan, and has lost much of its mage support due to a most cunning commando operation. However, it is by no means certain wether the encirclement will hold, even though the fact that Pythiums second field army is currently beeing sieged too may prove crucial for the war effort.
Ulmish military analysts believe that Ulm must win the war quickly, before Pythium succesfully utilizes its superior fort numbers and gem income ratings.
The income situation is slighlty favoring Ulm, but it is unsure wether this fact is significant enough.
