Boot Camp - Finished - Soyweiser/Jotunheim wins!

[Groundworm]

I personally like the fact that DragonRider's last two posts have caused me quite a bit of laughter.

[Soyweiser]

Somehow the shrapnel forum is very hard for me to reach atm. I had a nice reply typed out, with some good tips to help DragonRider with his problems. But my spotty connection ate them.

Let me make just one remark from the larger previous post. Actually I killed your fire king. Twice. Sadly he refused to stay dead. So there is that .

At least in your lands there isn't the constant threat of barbarians messing with your plans .

[DragonRider]

Oh, that doesn't count. Fire Kings are SUPPOSED to explode like that. The guy has 0 base protection for a reason.

And I already paid my dues, independents-wise. I think I got something like four Knight invasions within seven months a while back.

[Soyweiser]

The main reason I haven't killed Bogus in that one province is just to keep him from respawning.

Just be happy that Skratti wasn't equiped with a blood thorn.

(Still having connection issues, what did shrapnel do? Piss off anonymous? ).

[Soyweiser]

Connection seems to be fixed.

For anybody wondering where I get my creepy Skrattir names from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_%28band%29 This band seems to go pretty well with the general themes of Jotunheim. Cold icy forests. Darkend frostbitten northlands. Crushing of the Church (Marignon ) Etc. Works nicely. But I'm running out of song titles to name my Skrattir.

[DragonRider]

Okay, so the Erinyes are beings who have sworn to slay all practitioners of Blood magic, but when one of them encounters a Skratti surrounded by five blood slaves, what does she do? Go around butchering the innocent virgins one by one until the Skratti kills her. Class act, Megeara, really. Additionally, sometimes they kill death mages without a single path in blood, which I'm pretty sure wasn't in the contract. Let's keep on track here, gals! It's bad enough that there turned out to be a second (semi-)blood nation still in the game; I can't afford to have you crusading against the OTHER two nations on top of it.

Also...

Dammit, Jotunheim! I just finished cleaning the giant blood off of the fields in Cerne. Now I need to start over. Why couldn't you have learned your lesson last time? The dudes who annihilated your last army literally haven't moved from that spot since then.

Yeah, that was dumb. I need more scouts. Sucks to be me.

Nice army btw. It scares the hell out of me.

[DragonRider]

To be honest, after what happened last time, I'm extremely worried that this invasion will turn out to be another fiasco if anything goes even slightly wrong, but there's nothing to do at this point but give it a go. The loss of those five Skratti does embolden me somewhat, though; at the very least it gives me a lot more leeway than I thought I was going to have.

[Soyweiser]

Of course the last time I beat you with a totally different set of mages. Without the gear I just lost.

But most of my army is currently moving against Bandar. He is right next to my lands, you still have some way through your own old provinces before you get tot the castles.

I'll think up a nice strategy to kill you before that . Or Bandar whipes me before that and it is all moot.

I'm still having fun so that is what counts.

I'm going to be busy with family and Christmas for the next few days. Could we postpone the turn until say the 27th?
